Nothing but baseball 37 man I’m old but my favorite is Cross Canadian Ragweed(saw them 96 times live) but since they are no more I been really digging Whiskey Myers & Turnpike the last few years - but definitely check out Koe Wetzel if you dig the southern rock sound like me.
The point is that: if everything is country music, nothing is. Country music is about storytelling, beautiful vocal harmonies, dobro, mandolin, fiddle, sliding steel, banjo, guitar, and light percussion. (Aka not manufactured/ computerized sound) When anything that talks about trucks, dirt roads, or beer becomes country music, it IS terribly sad.
Actually it’s not a perfect country song if it doesn’t say something about Mamas Prison,Trucks, Trains, Rain or gettin drunk. And David Alan Coe felt obliged to add the last verse to the song and it goes like this... Well I was drunk, the day my maw got outta prison and I went to pick her up in the rainnnnn but before I could get to the station in my pickup truck... she got ran over by a damned ole train!
Like Aaron Tippin said “you’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything. You’ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string” we need more guys like that representing country music!
Sure wish my Daddy was still here💔 ...He sure would love Cody's music! He used tell me & anyone within earshot, " If there ain't no fiddle or a steel guitar on stage,...then they ain't playin' country music!" Thank you Cody Johnson, for the music and the memory trip!

Me and my buddy have a running joke with friends in low places we will randomly use lines from the song at work well now anywhere I go they play it even at the gym
I remember the days when friends in low places came out. There were so many Christmas cowboys out there almost overnight. I was a freshman in high school and all the older people were saying the same thing about 90's country compared to what we call classic country today. Don't get me wrong, I love me some 90's country, but nothing can touch the classics
@@claystaggs8908 1st Clayton - Its Strait not Straight .....2nd - Strait has More #1 hits than anyone in the history of music! 3rd - Hank is the creator of country music and I respect HW but not close to King. Maybe a prince or a duke.
@@themayor6836 absolutely incorrect. How do you define the King of Country? Most sells? Most awards? The Beatles are the highest selling musical act of all time. Garth Brooks is the highest selling in country music. Hank Jr is the most awarded musical act in country. Strait doesn't belong in the conversation. Garth or Jr, is the King, if u want to base it off of facts not opinions.
@@lukewarmstanhouston9957 WOW another clueless comment ...Well 1st Ridgy - The Beatles are not country. 2nd - Ask Garth Brooks who the King of Country is he will tell you King George Strait. 3rd - Hank Jr is not a musical act as you stated he is a solo artist and has his place in country. 4th George Strait is the King of Country. To state "Strait doesn't belong in the conversation" shows your ignores and how out of touch you are with real country & King George's monstrous career. Do your homework before you state opinions that you cannot back up.... YIPPIE GEORGE STRAIT IS THE KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
Why does he have to tell every crowd how he is “real country”... lol... why not just play your music to your fans and let them decide.. seems weird... I don’t hear Willie Nelson ever announce that he is “real country”..
Exactly! I've been saying it since the damn thing came out. In my opinion it's a knock at country music and the people who love and support the genre. It's a good song to get people up and moving and WE NEED that for this countries obesity crisis but IT IS NOT country music by ANY stretch. Kudos to Cody for calling it like it is.
Old Town Road is just as country as the bro-pop bullshit y'all call country today. Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings are rolling over in their graves hearing modern "Country." If old Town Road is a knock on modern Country, then good..... Because modern Country is NOT country at all.

Hi there, could we use a short clip of this video for a news video on Taste of Country? We'd include a link to your original in the video, the description of the video and any editorial we write around our news video. Many thanks in advance.
Taste of Country sure thing! Just want to make sure people know Cody states it’s a great song - (I disagree) but everyone has their opinion and I didn’t realize it would get this much attention! CoJo Nation!! TX music all the way!
Taste of Country thanks for asking also - I’ve been following Cody for years and love the success he’s earned. He use to play at a bar down the road from me for 4hrs and charged $600.....look at him now!
Who the hell makes you country God,wtf all country today is pop, country is not country no more,I love it this dude here, country you just tell a story with a beat,
While I believe along with (probably) most people that grew up between the 80s 90s and today that King George is the king of country music. I've always wondered his thoughts (especially being from Texas) on the Texas Playboys and "once you're down in Texas Bob Wills is still the king". The thought came back to me when he mentioned they were in College Station.
@@lsufan4138 I dont fully disagree. Some of his songs are really good (and country) then others not so much either of the two. Him as a person is definitely country watch buck comander hes a hunting fool, hunting doesnt just make you country but his personality some of his music and hunting I think does.
Colter Wall, Cody Jinks, Cody Johnson, & Tyler Childers. Keeping it real.

What about mamma, trains or the rain? Or a tear in my beer?
Ehhhhhhhh somewhat debatable

Well I was drunk, the day my maw got outta prison and I went to pick her up in the rainnnnn but before I could get to the station in my pickup truck... she got ran over by a damned ole train!
I've always believed that country music is played by instruments... Nothing done by a computer/soundboard... All real guitars and drums and fiddles

Travis Sloan my bad 😂😂
There’s many like him. People just haven’t found out about them yet
Aaron sang it but I do believe his daddy said it
I sang that in my head
Amen about time REAL COUNTRY comes back
I just imagined Cody Johnson teaching a graduate level music theory course and at some point he goes “I got two words for ya, buddy. Garth. Brooks”.
Oh man what a show that would have been to see Cody Johnson open for The King George Strait. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Man this guy is the real deal. That's country music

Check out Murder on Music Row.
3:30 gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes cause how far off we are with today’s music
And this is why I’ve been following him since day 1. CoJo Nation!!!!
That would've been the most satisfying money spent on a concert.
I was there and I wanted to cry
Madyson Clark he did the same performance in houston at the toyota center. loved it
I would’ve cried too and asked him how come there’s a kahone in a country music band??

He did this up in Seattle when I went and saw him. Hands down one of the best in my opinion. Got a song for every damn mood I’ve ever had
This dude just gave me goosebumps for 12 minutes straight through a screen.

Cody Johnson thank you. Bout fucking time someone said old town road ain't country music. Old town road my ass.
Damn It Boy!

NOW THATS COUNTRY!
HELL YEA!
Cody Johnson... Making County Music Great Again!
Country music never stopped being great.
Me and my buddy have a running joke with friends in low places we will randomly use lines from the song at work well now anywhere I go they play it even at the gym
I cant stand the so called new country, it's not country its pop an rap, Cody Johnson and a hand full of others keep it true to real country music
Yea i love cody Johnson hes real like mark chestnut real country

Best video ever. Cody Johnson best country singer right now.
No. That would be Tyler Childers.
Ruff Justice nah vocally cojo is more talented. Childers is badass don’t get me wrong but Johnson has a better range and tone.
Not even close, Riley green, Casey donahew, read Southall band, and a few more...

But honestly would it kill a man to play some GAWD DAMN
DAVID ALLEN COE ?
