Nice reaction. A few other Story songs you need to at least listen to are : Alabama's - Angels Among Us : Randy Travis - The Box , Garth Brooks The RIver and to end it here : George ( King ) Strait - Ace in the Hole
Marty Robbins is a great country story teller. If you haven’t reacted to him yet, “Devil Woman” and the El Paso trio “El Paso”, Feleena”, and “El Paso City” are great.
This is one of his earliest hits. 2002.Sad you didn't get the video. It's cute. Old chain gang stuff. Plus, Blake has long hair back then too. He as a ton of great hits. For a fun one 'Boy's round here' or he has cool duets with his wife Gwen Stefani from the band 'No Doubt'. 'Nobody but you' or 'Anywhere with you' are awesome. He has a beautiful one called 'God's Country' that is more recent. For funny videos & songs, nobody does it better than Toby Keith. 'As good as I once was', 'How do you like me now?', I wanna talk about me', 'Trailerhood' & so many more. Plus Toby's 'Courtesy of the red, white * blue' official video & song is the most patriotic song I can think of. It makes you wanna run out & enlist. (And I am a great grandmother)
A suggestion for your reaction. Another Blake Shelton song called Hillbilly Bone but you need to watch the cover of this song by Home Free (an acapella country vocal band). And after that one do their cover of Delta Dawn. A country classic but soooo much better that the version that made Tanya Tucker a star. Her version is great but IMO theirs is better. Enjoyed hearing your reaction to Ol Red. Wish you success with your channel.
Two other great songs from Blake is one of his first hits THE BABY and one of his newest GOD'S COUNTRY talk about range from a singer. And the writer of God's Country has a recent hit out called WAIT IN THE TRUCK you want to talk about stories......
if u want branch off into newer country zach bryan is a perfect place to start. especially his most famous song something in the orange. or if you want something a little more gritty crooked teeth is also a great song.
Just a quick note on instrumentation in County music. You keep referencing the "slide guitar", but that's not actually a thing. A slide can be used on various types of guitars, including plain old acoustic guitars. That said, the ones that must be played with a slide are the Dobro and the Steal Guitar (Lap Steal if not mounted on a stand. Both are very different than traditional guitars and feature the "bending" of individual notes or chords commonly referred to as "crying", which is what makes it a required instrument in any Country music band. Nothing expresses emotional more than "the crying of a steal guitar". Now I only seen a couple of your videos, but if you haven't come across one yet, Country music songs also commonly feature the Fiddle. There is no physical difference between a fiddle and a violin as they truly are the exact same instrument; they're just played very differently than the classical style. Most people who think they don't like Country music assume it's all about heartbreak, drinking, and cheating. That's only part of it. Country music offers various styles and types of artists to suit just about everybody; from Classic Country to Outlaw Country, Pop Country, Bro Country, Southern Rock, Rockabilly, Southern Swing, Mountain Music, Bluegrass, and even a little Gospel and Blues. Many rock and pop artists have ventured over into the Country music arena too; including Steven Tylor, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Aaron Lewis, John Bon Jovi, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Nelly, and many more. Heck, my older brother who says he despises Country actually got into listening to Rockabilly for a while and didn't even know that Johnny Cash was an Outlaw Country legend. My recommendation, is to find a local Honky-Tonk (take a trip to Texas if you don't have one in your town) and visit for a night with your significant other. They tend to have free dance lessons on certain nights where you can learn the Two-Step, Triple-Two, Country Swing, and even a few common line dances (like the Boot Scootin' Boogie, Fake-ID, Watermelon Crawl, and more). In fact, you can usually get in for free for the dance lessons and be able to stay for the evening without having to pay the normal cover charge. And if you're single, they will pair you up, so you just might meet someone too. Either way, it's a ton of fun! That's usually how I convince "Country haters" to reconsider the genre. Once they experience the Honky-Tonk vibe, there's no going back.
Man if you don't look like State Trooper finally getting to love what happens in real life...lol people ask me all the time..are you a cop due to my looks.
Why don't you watch the music videos? You can watch them on your phone or computer... some songs have to be watched by the videos ! Like Reba McEntire "FANCY" or Chris Stapleton "FIRE AWAY" Please don't do those without watching the music videos for them 🙏 OH, and Hardy "WAIT IN THE TRUCK" PLEASE DON'T DO UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO!!!! PLEASE 🙏
If you gave in and watched the video all your ?'s would have been answered.Look up the song He stopped loving her today.Also All my ex's live in Texas by George Strait.
Some Beach, by Blake shelton is another fun one.
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses, willie nelson and Toby keith, that's a fun one
Love Blake and still one of my all time favorites!!
I thought country music was very predictable, then I listened to a man named Merle Haggard REASONS TO QUIT, been hooked ever since.
Must see videos from Blake: The More I Drink and Some Beach, both funny.
Blake’s God’s Country is amazing, and very different.❤
Great reaction 😊
'Papa Loved Mama' by Garth Brooks
Home Free (country acapella - no instruments) -Man of Constant Sorrow. Swampy.
Absolutely and their version of Ring of Fire
Nice reaction. A few other Story songs you need to at least listen to are : Alabama's - Angels Among Us : Randy Travis - The Box , Garth Brooks The RIver and to end it here : George ( King ) Strait - Ace in the Hole

I know all my exes live in Texas! Is that George Strait who sings it? That’s another funny one.
Sorry, George George Jones for stopped loving her George Strait for exes in Texas
Check out Wait in the Truck by Hardy
Check out Rich man North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony.
You can’t do better than Blake Shelton
You should watch the music video, it's a lot of fun.
If you can boost the volume on your mic, it will greatly improve your videos. 😉
This is one of his earliest hits. 2002.Sad you didn't get the video. It's cute. Old chain gang stuff. Plus, Blake has long hair back then too. He as a ton of great hits.

If you want country comedy, try Mississippi Squirrel Revival by Ray Stevens.
Yes! Anything by Ray Stevens. His songs are hilarious.
You are missing alot by not watching the videos. Also that was Miranda Lambert doing the background vocals.
Try “God’s Country” by Blake. Completely different style.
A suggestion for your reaction. Another Blake Shelton song called Hillbilly Bone but you need to watch the cover of this song by Home Free (an acapella country vocal band).

🤠🔥🤠
God's Country by Blake is a good one.
Don Williams is another great story teller "I believe in you" .
Two other great songs from Blake is one of his first hits THE BABY and one of his newest GOD'S COUNTRY talk about range from a singer. And the writer of God's Country has a recent hit out called WAIT IN THE TRUCK you want to talk about stories......
Great reaction Whitey 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🥰‼️
I can't hear you. What happened to the sound?
You need to watch the videos to some of these songs. Welcome to the world of country.
This is one you need to see video
“The Baby” is a great song by Blake. Better have the tissue handy though. I cry every time I watch the video.
Yep, they brought red a girl friend😂. No longer interested in trackin any man😂 cute..
You should really check out Home Free they are an accapella group that does mostly country covers check out man of constant sorrow
I love their version of that!
Listen to Wheeler Walker Jr. - Family Tree 😂
The song was originally by Kenny Rodgers.
Johnny Cash, "A Boy Named Sue", my friend 😉😁
Just a slight correction to your introduction, it's Miranda Lambert, not Melissa.
You need to go with the OG folks. Johnny Cash. Waylon Jennings. Willie Nelson. George Jones. Many others. Dolly Parton an icon.
if u want branch off into newer country zach bryan is a perfect place to start. especially his most famous song something in the orange. or if you want something a little more gritty crooked teeth is also a great song.
Alright! They are on the list for future reactions!

I agree. Sometimes you just need the video.
I think I got it without the video, didn't I? :)
He Stopped Loving Her Today....by George Jones? Seems to be a lot of songs with that title, I assume they are all the same one? Which one is the best?
Start with the George Jones version
The video to this song is a lot of fun to watch and you would have gotten that they brought down a lady dog for Red and not a lady for the guy.
Where’s Blake? All I see is you. Not good.
Try again friend... you understand nothing about Country
I sure don't. :P Could you suggest a good song to try? I'm scouring the comments for good songs. :)
