As a chemical plant operator on the Houston ship channel that deals with the things this song talks about daily, this is literally my favorite song ever. So glad it’s finally getting its recognition.
I’m a lucky man. My oldest son said he would never allow me to be in a Nursing Home. He said he will raise his kids like I raised him and his brothers and sisters.
"It happened on a French owned tanker ship, spilling poison into Galveston bay" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_disaster I was born and raised in the town referenced in the song. I drive past the port of Texas City every day on my drive to work where I work in a metal fabrication shop supporting the chemical plants he talks about in the song. The name of the ship was the Grand Camp and was one of the worst industrial disasters in history. I have friends and family with relatives that lived through the ordeal and their stories are incredible. It's a huge part of the history of our small city. Powerful song.
I agree it’s powerful!! I’m from Santa Fe myself actually, and grew up with my dad offshore half the year. I don’t think he’s referencing the grand camp though, because this is an autobiographical song and I doubt Galloway was 13 in 1947. I may be wrong but it I think it might’ve been the Mega Borg spill in 1990. Lmk what you think. I’m glad to see other south 45 people on here!!
@@REIDALICIOUSSSS I agree, don't think it was the Grand Camp, but also don't think it was the Mega Borg either. Mega was a Norwegian owned vessel and that explosion and spill happened about 50 miles out. I have been trying for a while to find some "french owned" spill of any kind in the Galveston bay/ Houston Channel since i heard the song with little luck. All I can figure is artistic license with details and maybe an amalgamation of different spills that have happened. I'm from Houston orbit too, went to school in Galveston.
Michael, I've completely fallen in love with your channel. Your passion for the music you review is intoxicating. Your reactions to the country/folk/bluegrass music that you listen to (which is what I predominantly listen to) remind me so much of how I felt when I first heard them. You have such an articulate way of describing your feelings, and it's really a joy to watch. Please react to 'Follow you to Virgie' by Tyler Childers (The OurVinyl Session version). Oh! And either 'The Housefire' or 'Down Here' by Turnpike Troubadours
I think you miss the point of his channel. I think he said what he liked most about the channel was that he was able to find new music and also let us be introduced to new music. Which is why it's disappointing to me to see that all you people do is mention that same style of music and even the same people over and over again. To me, that defeats the purpose. There's so much Michael still hasn't gotten into because most of you guys keep voting up similar things. I found wings of Pegasus much more interesting in this regard because he does a loooooot of different stuff. I wish Michael would do more instead of the similar styles over and over again. I don't see much classical (and I heard him say he really likes classical) like Paco De Lucia, sabicas, or something branched off from it like estas tonne and there's literally so much more. I still like the channel and love the way he gets into it and breaks it down, just this little thing I've felt missing in some ways, not entirely.
Such a great song, and the video actually adds rather than detracts for a change. My dad had a great job when I was growing up, but it kept him travelling from one side of the country to the next every other week. When he was home, he used that little time to fix things up around the house, whether it be the yard, a broken appliance, the bills. He never stopped working. And once everything was finally in order, he was too exhausted to do anything but sit and catch his breath. I still remember one Saturday after he got home from a trip, we went out into the yard to play catch with a baseball. Little eight year old me wanted to show dad just how good of an arm I had, so I threw that ball into the dirt, over his head, ten feet to the left and right. He told me to throw softer and focus, but man, I wanted to impress. I missed the mark again, the ball rolling down the street, and he went inside to take a nap. Just crushed me. He's in his 70's now, stick thin, losing weight and can't keep it on. I'm a few years in the red trying to start my own business after a few failure attempts already, but I won't quit until I find something that works. I'll keep trying and struggling until I find success. I want to actually be here for my kids, and I won't compromise that short, precious time. Failure is not an option.
This is one of those songs that still gives me the chills every damn time after countless plays. That whistlng fits in so well with the theme too. That typical working man off to the plant/mine/whatever whistle really ties the lyrics together for me.
This song is a true story about the lead singer’s dad who was seriously injured in a chemical accident, he is actually the guy that appears in the audience at the end
This song takes me to tears every time. I missed the younger years of my children working in the oil fields of Oklahoma. One day after I almost lost my life, I walked away from it. My prayers are always with those who put it on the line to Keep the wolves away.
Micheal, I hope you read this. Kevin is singing a true story. This song is about what actually happened to his dad. It’s his own experience. And an added note, at around the 11:00 mark when you stop the video, that is his dad in the white cowboy hat. We saw his dad numerous times when they would play that Texas landmark, Gruene Hall. It’s a powerful song by an incredible band that is sadly no longer together. I laughed at your reaction when Kevin started singing the first words. That was exactly how I looked for two hours the first time I saw them live. We followed these Austin guys around Texas for 3-4 years. By the way, great job on the reaction videos.
This song and cats in the cradle resonate so much with folks from corpus to Shreveport. Shout out to all the fathers and guys out there grinding to support themselves and their families. American heroes everyone should appreciate more.
Pleaseeee do “Sometimes Wine” by Sturgill Simpson and Sunday Valley. Watch the one where they are in a barn. Sturgill plays his telecaster he made from scratch like there’s no tomorrow and his voice fits the bluegrass country sound so well.
My late great Uncle Rev. booked them at Spirits (restaurant) in Alexandria, La. One of there first shows. He passed this year. One of the biggest losses of my life. I heard this song from a friend and asked who is that? I sent the song to my Uncle and he sent me pictures. I was blown away. He was a magnet for talent. This is a special song to me obviously. Will learn it for sure. Grew up in Louisiana so it really hits home. My Uncle was the best man anyone could ever know.
Im from Austin, worked in a restaurant with the drummer of this band and saw them play at threadgills several times. And the song is true story of the singers father
Great reaction! This song always brings twars to my eyes as my son told me to listen to it after my husband passed and a stalker came into my life and my son quickly put up servalance cameras and stopped by alot to check out how i was doing. My son plays guitar and bass, this song relates!
I’ve always loved this song! It reminds me of my dad. Growing up he was lineman and worked all the over time he could to help pay bills cause my mom didn’t work. He had a lot of friends die on the line and a few close calls him self. He’s getting close to retiring and lord willing before long I’ll be a lineman with the same company he was! Also band of heathens - hurricane is one you should check out!
Benjamin Tod “we ain’t even kin” is a near and dear song to me that and I think you’d like the lyrics and his music over all. Not a very popular artist but definitely deserves a reaction!
Another great vid. I had the bitter-sweet pleasure of seeing one of the last shows that Uncle Lucius played, and I have seen and met Kevin Galloway since he has been on his own. He is a great guy, and an incredible musician.
I absolutely enjoyed your reaction to uncle Lucius! My brother is five years younger than me and he introduced this the song to me a couple years ago after our father died. Our father worked three and four jobs to provide for his family. He always took care of us and put himself last. It wasn’t until after my father died that I realized how much my brother was like my father. Now it’s his turn to keep The wolves away. He works out of town all the time and rarely gets to see his family. Know that I’ve watched your reaction, I understand this song so much better. As I’m typing this, I’m crying! Thank you!
Thanks for doing this one been a fan of Uncle Lucius for a long time. Please react to Benjamin Tod. He's the front man for Lost Dog Street Band. Phenomenal storyteller! Many of his videos have over 1M views. Any song you choose would be awesome. I really think you'd like his style.
Got to see this band play one of their last shows before they broke up (at Gruene Hall), the dad (of the lead singer) was picked up on the shoulders of some of the guys in the crowd... “He’s still alive, he’s doing good, he’s in his SIXTIES...” and everybody lost their fucking mind. Was one of the most powerful moments I’ve ever experienced at a concert.
“Work like hell to keep the wolves at bay”... ain’t that the truth. Powerful stuff! I’m a father of two girls and I promise you that nothing will change a man as much as having children. Every day seems long, but man oh man the years pass by so fast. Cherish those long days because they’re gone in the blink of an eye. Great works of art always appeal to the human condition, which is exactly what this song does. Excellent video, Mikey! 🎸🔥
Grateful to you for doing this song... it has so much connection to my life. I grew up in the same town that Kevin Galloway is from, Freeport TX. Freeport is an a blue collar town surrounded by petrochemical complex. The mouth of the muddy Brazos and "Refinery clouds" paint vivid pictures for me. I fished from the banks of the Brazos, and yes, it's muddy. If you go off shore from Freeport and look back, you see a green haze over the area from the chlorine gas from the plants. The part that really hits home for me is that the dad was gassed by a spill from a French owned tanker. My dad was gassed by a leak from a French owned tanker. It wasn't in Galveston Bay, though. He worked at a French owned Chemical plant in Freeport and was sent to deal with a gas leak on a tanker in Mexico City. He had an equipment malfunction and was gassed and lost a lot of lung capacity. This area is full of hard working people dealing every day with dangerous chemicals just trying to make a living. Hell, one of the plants exploded on one the day my little brother was born. Great song, and I appreciate your take on it.
The Sun is Shinning Down by JJ Grey and Mofro is a tear jerker. A very talented musician with tons of soul straight from my home time. Never fails to hit me in my soul.
Love this song... I never realized some of the struggles my parents went through when I was younger. My dad worked two full time jobs, 80+ hours a week, and we barely scraped by. Never had a clue until after my wife and I had our first, and he reminded of the responsibility I now held as a dad. That’s when he told me everything they went threw when we were kids.
Played with this band in Columbus like 8 years ago or something. They brought literally no one to the show. Maybe 30 people total in the room and they were all there for us. They proceeded to blow the roof off the place. Bought the CD they had and listened to it for the next 2 years almost non stop. I didn't know they became popular until about 2 months ago. (2020)
That was filmed at Lew Card's old house in South Austin Tx. He is a great singer also & that is his family, they live in Tenn now. Was hanging with Johnny "Keys" on squeeze box & Josh on drums last night again. My Bud Van filmed it...Thats the Kevin the singers parents at 9.16 All great guys
You should really listen to "The tallest man on earth" he is a great picker, would recommend The tallest man on earth "Revelation Blues" - City of Music The Tallest Man On Earth - "What I've Been Kicking Around" (Live at WFUV) ONE of the reasons why i started playing guitar
As a dad in his early 40s with 2 very young kids, this video really hit home for me and has inspired me to be an even better dad. Thank you Michael and Uncle Lucius!
Could you do an episode on Gregory Alan Isakov? His songs, as I like to put it, make you nostalgic for somewhere you've never been. His song If I Go, I'm Goin th-cam.com/video/4v9yE96j9Z0/w-d-xo.html is one of my favorites.
I highly recommend Zane Williams, especially either "While I Was Away" (Steamboat Music Fest) or "Pablo and Maria". Both are equally goosebump inducingly beautiful.
It’s bittersweet listening to this song’s message, my childhood was a little bit of this but mostly my father yelling, scolding like he was my “Big bad wolf” I’m grateful for boys that grew up with a solid dad yet at 57 I’m still working on the traumas of growing up scared of my dad. He died 2 years ago and I can’t muster up a tear or grieve, it’s just echoes of hearing him yell my name and being terrified of what I’m in trouble for now 😢 in my 20s I was working hard at my job and raising my new son and he pressured me to ask my boss to borrow $20,000 from my boss and years went by without paying him back!
So thankful these artists came around. UNCLE LUCIUS. Tyler Whitehouse. Jamie Jamieson, many others now I am finding, just some incredible riffs. Don't know the guitar in-depth, but the music is looking up. Mainstream Coutry went pop and sold out was thinking I was going into the twilight years with pink being the last original. Good times when music is good.
Dude! I’ve noticed that you haven’t done Greta Van Fleet yet! A bunch of young kids bringing back 60’s 70’s rock. They will sound familiar but are non-the-less impressive. I’d love to see what you think of them. “When the curtain falls” is a really cool song that would be perfect!
I love your little add ons when you get the melody. It makes me feel like I'm listening to the songs for the first time again. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Cheers!
As much as I like your emotion and reaction to the details, it is amazing watching your musical knowledge break songs down immediately. Also if you want a raw emotional song check out Amigo the Devil - Cocaine and Abel th-cam.com/video/qE2PHfJIcpM/w-d-xo.html
This is the first country song that I ever liked. Not that your skills don't speak for themself, but anyone who plays a PRS gets a nod from me as well.
Man, songs like these pull the heart strings. I work swing shifts at a refinery myself. My 3 year old son begs me to stay home with him. But to keep the wolves at bay I pull away... ahhh!!! Who is cutting onions?!?!
My dad died at 39 keeping the wolves away. I was 10. I did CPR as well as I could. He had a heart attack. This song is for you dad. Sprouse love forever.
As a chemical plant operator on the Houston ship channel that deals with the things this song talks about daily, this is literally my favorite song ever. So glad it’s finally getting its recognition.
Which facility?
Y’all ain’t the only ones. Y’all off 225?

I caught it from Yellowstone
That's his mother and father in the crowd. love this song.
“Band of Heathens - Hurricane” and “Prophets and Outlaws - Soul Shop” are worth checking out.
Hurricane would be a good one!
I will always prefer the Bands original version of the Hurricane but the Band of Heathens isn’t bad
Both have epic guitar work in them.
Definitely Hurricane! Awesome song.
Hurricane is a awesome song
I love this song. I actually have “now it’s my turn to keep the wolves away” tattooed on the inside of my bicep. Powerful lyrics.

Dangit! Almost made it first. Lol I love this song - thanks for doing it, sir!
i love how he adds his own parts to the song it sounds dang amazing
i know most might not know about him but shawn james song “flow” is a good one to check out. one man band
Hits me every time. Super cool guy to talk to and a genuine person. Love him.
I'm to the point where I just like it before I get comfortable. I just get into a groove and forget. Love it
Sean Rowe 1952 Vincent Black Lightning cover
reckless Kelly does a hell of a cover as well!
Dude, I agree. Bad ass cover.
Reckless Kelly does a better cover TBH

@@Guitargate No way! Great start to the weekend! Thank you!!
Love this song... I never realized some of the struggles my parents went through when I was younger. My dad worked two full time jobs, 80+ hours a week, and we barely scraped by. Never had a clue until after my wife and I had our first, and he reminded of the responsibility I now held as a dad. That’s when he told me everything they went threw when we were kids.
If you like this song. You could do a review of Shawn James- Aint No Sunshine
Wish this had more likes
I've commented Shawn james more than once on his videos. I think he should do, funny little feeling
Played with this band in Columbus like 8 years ago or something. They brought literally no one to the show. Maybe 30 people total in the room and they were all there for us. They proceeded to blow the roof off the place. Bought the CD they had and listened to it for the next 2 years almost non stop. I didn't know they became popular until about 2 months ago. (2020)
How have you not done anything by Jason Isbell? Super 8, Dress blues, Outfit are all amazing songs.
"I'm trying to get to the essence of what makes things what they are." EXACTLY.
Nick Shoulders - “Rather Low”
Morgan Wade - “The Night”
Nick has got a bitch’n mullet! Worth the view just for that!
That was filmed at Lew Card's old house in South Austin Tx. He is a great singer also & that is his family, they live in Tenn now. Was hanging with Johnny "Keys" on squeeze box & Josh on drums last night again. My Bud Van filmed it...Thats the Kevin the singers parents at 9.16 All great guys
Miss those guys, especially hanging with Grossman. Good dudes. All of ‘em!
You should really listen to "The tallest man on earth" he is a great picker, would recommend
The tallest man on earth "Revelation Blues" - City of Music
The Tallest Man On Earth - "What I've Been Kicking Around" (Live at WFUV)
ONE of the reasons why i started playing guitar
ABSOLUTELY LOVE when you play along and tell us what's happening Michael!
Have you heard the Dead South yet?
They are amazing. Their live show is so much fun. If you havent been, i highly recommend it.
Love them. I think "In Hell I'll Be in Good Company" or Reverend Peyton's "Devils Look Like Angels" would be great for him to review
I like broken cowboy
@@johnniewalker65 Banjo Odyssey
Wondered that myself
Bro!!! Thanks so much for turning me on to this! And congrats on your new addition... Nothing better man.....
And lastly, “ain’t a train” or anything else by Cody jinks 👌🏽👌🏽
David by Cody Jinks. Great song, hard to listen to
This is one of my favorite songs!!!!!
“This Damn Song- Pecos and the Rooftops”
Im still amazed at how you can pick up on the music so fast and start improvising, guitar wizard.
You should review Steve Vai's "Candle Power"!
Definetely!
It hurts my fingers looking at it tho 🤣
As a dad in his early 40s with 2 very young kids, this video really hit home for me and has inspired me to be an even better dad. Thank you Michael and Uncle Lucius!
You should listen to BB King and Gary Moore “the thrill is gone” live
Hello Everyone, capo 2nd fret, chord progression Bm, D, A, G. Great song. Thanks Michael.
I first heard this song earlier this week. Completely blown away by it.
Edit: subscribed
BOOM
Wow, that song made me ball like a baby. Music is amazing.
You should review “Good Lord Lorrie” by Turnpike Troubadours
!
Or anything else by then.
Tyler Childers “hard times” this is my favorite ones and follow you to virgie is my second favorite
Can you review Maggot Brain by Funkadelic? First time I heard it, I was definitely caught off guard about how great it was.
One of the Greatest solos of all time. Hazel definitely tells a story with his guitar
I suggested this last video. If you havnt listen to it yet your doing yourself a disservice
@@deviousone5059 The fact Eddie Hazel did the entire song in 1 take still blows my mind
I love that song dude! Great reply !
I actually like Widespread Panic's version best.
I saw these guys live! They were great! I talked to Kevin Galloway after the show he was super awesome. I was bummed out when they quit.
Could you do an episode on Gregory Alan Isakov? His songs, as I like to put it, make you nostalgic for somewhere you've never been. His song If I Go, I'm Goin th-cam.com/video/4v9yE96j9Z0/w-d-xo.html is one of my favorites.
Stable Song as well!
Yes! I second this!
Exactly how I feel when listening to his stuff.
Yes! GAI. Fantastic lyricist, awesome melodies.
That, my man, is a nice suggestion indeed
I highly recommend Zane Williams, especially either "While I Was Away" (Steamboat Music Fest)
or "Pablo and Maria". Both are equally goosebump inducingly beautiful.
"You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" by Darrell Scott
He has a killer live version of No Use Living For Today. Great guitar work by him.
It’s bittersweet listening to this song’s message, my childhood was a little bit of this but mostly my father yelling, scolding like he was my “Big bad wolf” I’m grateful for boys that grew up with a solid dad yet at 57 I’m still working on the traumas of growing up scared of my dad. He died 2 years ago and I can’t muster up a tear or grieve, it’s just echoes of hearing him yell my name and being terrified of what I’m in trouble for now 😢 in my 20s I was working hard at my job and raising my new son and he pressured me to ask my boss to borrow $20,000 from my boss and years went by without paying him back!
Check out “Cocaine and Able” by Amigo the Devil.
Roy Webb I second this
So thankful these artists came around. UNCLE LUCIUS. Tyler Whitehouse. Jamie Jamieson, many others now I am finding, just some incredible riffs. Don't know the guitar in-depth, but the music is looking up. Mainstream Coutry went pop and sold out was thinking I was going into the twilight years with pink being the last original. Good times when music is good.
Dude! I’ve noticed that you haven’t done Greta Van Fleet yet! A bunch of young kids bringing back 60’s 70’s rock. They will sound familiar but are non-the-less impressive. I’d love to see what you think of them. “When the curtain falls” is a really cool song that would be perfect!
th-cam.com/video/86_vnQc1oBE/w-d-xo.html
They do a cover of Rolling in the Deep that makes Adele’s sound like the cover, just because of how CLASSIC their version is.
I love your little add ons when you get the melody. It makes me feel like I'm listening to the songs for the first time again. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Cheers!
As much as I like your emotion and reaction to the details, it is amazing watching your musical knowledge break songs down immediately.
Also if you want a raw emotional song check out Amigo the Devil - Cocaine and Abel
th-cam.com/video/qE2PHfJIcpM/w-d-xo.html
This is the first country song that I ever liked. Not that your skills don't speak for themself, but anyone who plays a PRS gets a nod from me as well.
I watched this to see your reaction because it's such a great song. But I just learned a valuable lesson "third hunting all day". Thanks man!
Man, songs like these pull the heart strings. I work swing shifts at a refinery myself. My 3 year old son begs me to stay home with him. But to keep the wolves at bay I pull away... ahhh!!! Who is cutting onions?!?!
The wind symbolizes the wolves trying to blow the house down... someone mentioned that in the comments for this song...pretty cool!!
Dude... Your content is great. I can tell your gonna be big. Please don't change when you are!
My dad died at 39 keeping the wolves away. I was 10. I did CPR as well as I could. He had a heart attack. This song is for you dad. Sprouse love forever.
Your additions with the whistling were PROOOOO!! Soo fkn good!
