His grandfather was born in the Appalachian mountains and the mountains have their own musical sound that Oliver (Chris) embodies to honor his grandfather. I know because I grew up in Appalachian mountains myself. Going on this journey with Chris has made me homesick for the mountains of southwestern Virginia.
Blessings to you. Bluegrass has been speaking to my soul the older I get and I love playing this style on guitar. There’s something transcendental about it speaking from the past.
If you listen to his interview with Joe Rogan, he got his musical interest from his grandmother who was in a band. She listened to the old country music which influenced him. So shout out to grandma!
His grandfather, Oliver Anthony, was from the nearby mountains, and this is the roots of the mountain music that Chris has named his music channel after; Oliver Anthony Music. His name is actually Christopher (Chris) Anthony Lundsford.
That's a certified bonified Hill climbing car .. Great in the mud and snow .. Southern engineering at its best .. As far as the music , most of it is played without drums and electric guitars ... Heck my grandfather made his own guitar .. People used what they had to entertain themselves ... I call this some good ol Southern country soul ... This is FIRE 🔥
I lived outside of Roanoke VA. For 41 years rural its quite a beautiful area. Forest and wildlife Slow and friendly. Wonderful people. Good Ole country boys-black and white. I have moved to suburban area 50 miles outside of DC to be near family. Night and day but adjusting. My State song from now on.
@@npilot4445 For Sure. The people up here are crazy. Can't drive, don't have humor in their lives. Crap everywhere meaning buildings, cars, roads, people and I keep telling everyone since we have so many data centers up here we are a target for a bomb. They think I have lost it, but no they are out of touch. Thanks
When I turned 40 I said I was going to turn a new leaf. Then I lost my wife from breast cancer. I’m 57 and I’m feeling this brother. God bless you guys and God bless America 🙏🇺🇸 Love you Mary Jane ❤
I'll partake in smoking something his daddy never grew back his day. Smoking with Oliver sounds like a great time, I want to go where the law don't go!
Relatable. I’ve been pretty much absent from my kids’ lives since they’ve been born because of deployments and some other issues with the Navy. Shit sucks, but I finally have ONE day to go until I can be the father and husband that my family needs
I’d call this soul and blues music. Also very populist. Just because of the instrument and his accent doesn’t change that. Also, I think we don’t hear this soulful music as much anymore because the music industry doesn’t allow it. The music industry puts out sounds preaching CONSUMERISM which of course benefits the large corporations who also control DC. So I think people are shocked to hear this kind of music in 2023 after decades of having mainstream music controlled.
Appalachian mountains - It includes 420 counties across 13 states: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Bluegrass (modern style mountain music) that came about in the ‘40s in the Appalachian region. It’s country, with a distinct sound which got its name after Bill Monroe’s band, “The Bluegrass Boys”. It has more of a high pitched tenor, high energy & fast tempo. It’s more of an acoustic string band sound with; a guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle & upright bass. Bill Monroe is known as the “father of Bluegrass”. Other true bluegrass artists are; Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, Stanley Brothers, Soggy Bottom Boys. Bluegrass tends to have more of an acoustic “picking” sound. It’s known more for its fast tempos, intricate instrumental solos, and tight vocal harmonies. Country music uses steel guitars, which have a more smooth sound, and tends to be slower and more focused on the lyrics and vocal performance. Folk music is telling a story with a song that doesn’t involve instrumental solos like bluegrass does.
The Appalachians stretch from Canada to North Georgia and people tend to identify with the specific range they live in; Catskills, Alleghenies, Blue Ridge, Great Smokies, etc. The Wikipedia article on Appalachian Music is pretty much on point.
He plays a resonator guitar witch a lot of old blues guys played up in the hill and a sound of folk and country music with his voice and the way he sang it with passion it all together it’s a new sound and man is it good I could listen to it over and over looking forward to a lot more of this music
People are calling it "Appalachian" trying to put a fine point on it, but that's missing the mark, IMHO. It's really just American folk music. And here he's getting a little bluesy. OA has said he is from Farmville which is in the Piedmont region of Virginia -- not the Appalachian hills.
Doggonit is my favorite. I am a coal miner's daughter so it hits close to home. John Denver was actually singing about western Virginia but said west Virginia. We people from West Virginia grabbed it and ran with it. Also Carry Me Back to Old Virginny!
I was thinking the same thing myself. Country Roads. I'll have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the week now. And didn't Laurel and Hardy song about the blue ridge mountains of Virginia.
He is from a region of Virginia called the Piedmont. It’s on the fringe of Appalachia (think foothills, farmland). I grew up in a similar place north of him (Hartwood). I am overjoyed with his success.
This has to be my favourite Oliver song so far. It has a relaxed, natural style that tells a simple story of how his landscape speaks to him and is in his bones. I think Oliver has the feel of an early Woody/Arlo Guthrie in style, in that he is a real story teller. I like how he’s strumming away so gently too and not drowning out the track or over powering the lyrics.
A lot of his songs he has recorded and put out, were originally recorded and posted from a smart phone. RadioWV found those and offered to come out and record him doing his songs.
This guy is like a throwback to folk singer's like Woody Guthrie from years ago. Even early Bob Dylan. Before he sold his soul. Those are his own words. He said in an interview. There are many more that were not so famous. Who sang songs about life as it was then. I saw that he was offered $8mil from a label & he didn't sell. If it's true that make him real & genuine to me.
For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his own soul? Or words to that effect. Jesus spoke that I think... Love of money and greed the root of all evil in the world..
I’m from Virginia Portsmouth Virginia and it’s the hood out here man don’t get it twisted it’s wild out here foreal Virginia has some of the realest people In the world where im from Pharrell timbaland missy elliot pusha t all of them came out of the city I’m from
I live in Va - in Shenandoah valley between the blue ridge & massanuttan mountains - beautiful. FarmVille about 100 miles away looks to be right about the middle of va. not sure of mountains there but I have heard nice area too, I know people that went to college there & loved it. Then 100 north east from me is Dc, I grew up 5 miles from dc in NoVa - whole different world.
The musical powers that be do not like the fact an independent free man is kicking their collective /^\$$€$ ! I believe he said he is originally from West Virginia which is almost 100% in the Appalachian region.
He just dropped new one called, 90 Some Chevy. Its so great! Youll like it. About Simple Pleasures that brings memories from my younger life in Alabama .❤❤
I am glad I found your channel thanks to Oliver and that you keep it real God Bless you and your family I also like your remix of rich men and I normally don’t do rap it is amazing how this man is bringing the world together the hater’s are the problem with this world
Virginia is a friendly place, in 1976 i was traveling on my bicycle thru Frount Royal Virginia, a family feed us supper, let us camp in their yard and feed us breakfast.
Appalachian [Ae puh LAE chin] this was explained to me in 2009 during a concert when the artists explained the pronunciation while admitting they were from "You lie," South Carolina. ae as in the a in man.
I have a voice acting background and I have to say that songs like that can be great as a vocal warm up. The vocal training was really tough, sometimes without noticable results for months and months and I realized that changing and implementing exercises outside of your comfort zone can be really good. PS. You almost saw me as Leon in those new RE games :)
WE are not Left nor Right We Love the guy and we dont like country much at all. This is music that you hear alot in the moutains of NC. You should check out the Ashville NC Music scene
FYI - The quickest way for y'all to say you ain't from round here without saying you ain't from round here is to say "Appa-lay-shun" instead of "Appa-latch-in"
His sound is Appalachian and we pronounce it App-a-latch-a. Ch makes the sound like you say Cherokee. He isn't from the Appalachian area that's true, he is from central Virginia
God LEADS the way in our lives .. it is not our job to sit and wait for the spirit to act on something. The lesson is to love and help each other. Too often we only do “God Talk” not God action. Like officially speaking, WHO is hating?
I can tell you the proper way to pronounce Appalachia is. Apple at cha. Appalachia goes from New York all the way Dow to Georgia/Alabama. By the way your remix was awesome, off the chain!!
Farmville is part of the Blue Ridge Mountains not Appalachian Appalachian don't start until you get farther south I've been to Farmville many times I've actually met him years ago before evening became a singer going to Longwood College which is in the middle of Farmville

Near Roanoke here
I am still here in the coal fields. Nothing prettier, great people, food and music.

John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads (West Virginia)
His voice and lyrics are what make his Appalachian style of singing so good! It’s considered to be blue grass music from what I’ve read.
When I turned 40 I said I was going to turn a new leaf.
Then I lost my wife from breast cancer. I’m 57 and I’m feeling this brother. God bless you guys and God bless America 🙏🇺🇸 Love you Mary Jane ❤
I'll partake in smoking something his daddy never grew back his day. Smoking with Oliver sounds like a great time, I want to go where the law don't go!
You should listen to his “I got to get sober” song, it hits just as hard as “rich men north of richmond” but on a personal level.
Thanks for reviewing Chris. My Dad started me on Hank Williams when I was little. He said listen to the words. I still like real country.
Relatable. I’ve been pretty much absent from my kids’ lives since they’ve been born because of deployments and some other issues with the Navy. Shit sucks, but I finally have ONE day to go until I can be the father and husband that my family needs
Enjoy your family time!

Finally! Someone mentioned the Ford Focus with mud tires.

If you don't love this song you're the problem

His Grandfather was Appalachian, which is where he got his inspo for music. And its pronounced A-puh-la-chn.
Yes, like I’m throwing an “apple-atcha”
I love his voice has message and the way his music touches me like no other music has
His grandparents and family are from the mountainous area. Chris is from the Piedmont, which is the foothills of the Appalachians.
The TRUTH hurts and that's why their so mad especially from a spiritual focus!!! I love your channel by the way and the remix is very cool!!!

There is a lot of great talent on RadioWV. You should check out "68" by Nolan Taylor on there. Amazing song and songwriter!
That is a really good song!

MAN, I LOVE YOU GUYS, straight talk always, always entertaining. thanks yall
This a bop. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for bringing this to light for me!
Hey - love you guys = this music touches all of ua == why would anybody hate on this?
Virginia is a friendly place, in 1976 i was traveling on my bicycle thru Frount Royal Virginia, a family feed us supper, let us camp in their yard and feed us breakfast.
It's not Appalachian music, he's from the Piedmont. Also, it's pronounced Appa latch in. Keep up the good work.

He's like a happy Colter Wall.
Country Road John Denver West Virginia
Y'all hit the nail on the head!!
Don is so intelegent
I will never understand the city life, and city people will never understand country life.
he's got a similar voice to Hank Williams JR. at 1st I thought thats who I was listening too! hahah. He's pretty good

He's from one of the countriest, poorest, points in America. Applachia

Gotta get sober and ain't gotta dollar are sooo good to
Watch his Joe Rogan interview. It is an homage to the type of music his grandfather listened to.
God LEADS the way in our lives .. it is not our job to sit and wait for the spirit to act on something. The lesson is to love and help each other. Too often we only do “God Talk” not God action. Like officially speaking, WHO is hating?
Phoenetically: APPLE-ATCHA
BP if you’re vibing with this you should check out Billy Strings, start with Dust in a Baggy 👍
APP-uh-LATCH-uh music.!
I can tell you the proper way to pronounce Appalachia is. Apple at cha. Appalachia goes from New York all the way Dow to Georgia/Alabama. By the way your remix was awesome, off the chain!!
Listen to "I Got To Get Sober"
You need to invite him on your show.
If you haven't heard 90 Chevy and especially ain't got a dollar that's a real good one to and let's not forget I got to get sober
TIP: NO SUCH THING AS A BAD SONG BY OLIVER ANTHONY.
In one pf his talks, he says his music is NOT appalachian music. He is from Peodmont not in the hills
Farmville is part of the Blue Ridge Mountains not Appalachian Appalachian don't start until you get farther south I've been to Farmville many times I've actually met him years ago before evening became a singer going to Longwood College which is in the middle of Farmville
He has a short on his channel driving that car
He is on Joe Rogan podcast today
That ford focus has lambo blinkers on the front wings, nearly 100 of lambo but only 10 of ford 😂 weird fact 👍
App-ah-latch-en
Reminds me of Charlie Daniels.
I can’t tell either but he seems to want to make sure people don,t Think he is pretending to be from the mountains
