polo as a person who found this while looking for hank you are a decent man. and i wish you the best but man oh man you would love his daddy's songs. they have the comedy of a sad man, God bless
Raised in the country and lived there for most of my life. This isn't just a song, it's an ANTHEM! Honey, when the SHTF, y'all come and see us - we'll take care of you while we teach you! Country folks are the best ❤❤
A country boy doesn't mean black or white. It means self reliance, loving your family and God, caring for you neighbor. Keeping guns to protect but never to start harm. Great reaction and analysis. First time listening buy really enjoyed you
Yes sir, I grew up in East Texas and there were as many black and Hispanic cowboys as white cowboys. We all had so much to share and learn from one another. We were all pretty poor and it was more of an economic difference than anything.
From the great state of Oklahoma. We know how to live off the land. We do all of this. Country boys can survive as long as we stay out of the city. Haha.
Neat thing about Hank Jr. is that he fell down a mountain as a young man and lived. He fell off of Ajax Peak while hiking in Montana. He fell upwards of 440 feet and lived, and kept his music career going. He ain't kidding about being able to survive, cause he already has.
The line is "We say grace, we say ma'am and if you you ain't into that we don't give a damn." A better way to think about "country" music, is to think of it as story telling. I do appreciate the authenticity of your reactions.
Hell, I grew up in the Delta, rice farm aka swamp. I was the tyoe of person he was depicting in this song. Its embarrassing but I thought he said 'in the back' as opposed 'if you ain't into that' for years. I was hellva confused seriously for decades. But since i knew he said trop and not trout line - I have myself a equalize pass. Funny and great memories.
@@BlackSmokeDMax SO TRUE!!!Nice call out. Cringing at my reply. Seriously, need to proof read before pressing send. Honestly, was fighting with autocorrect for 5 mins over trot vs trop - both just switched to trout. I gave up. Your reply made my day. You can't get upset when your wrong and get called out.
I was in a coma in ‘21 for 2 weeks. Doctors thought I was brain dead until my sister played this song for me. I’ve been getting better and stronger ever since! Country folks can survive 💪
“If you ain’t into that.” Not back. This is a great song. I was a city girl from Boston and when I went into the Army, I spent almost 6 years in Georgia! I can assure you I was indoctrinated on country music and found out what a git was (love grits now). Love that you are open minded about what you listen to. Best regards.
I grew up in the northeast around Albany in the 70s and 80's, joined the Army in late 85. Got sent to West Germany and was there for almost 4 years and was also indoctrinated on country music at the NCO club every Saturday night.
Was visiting the town I grew up in - Pensacola FL - was out on the beach where I struck up conversation with 2 Saudi Arabian Navy water rescue students who were listening to Country music and asked me for recommendations (I gave them Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash). In broken English telling me how much they LOVE country music. What a gas!
Take out the service to the armed forces, and our stories of moving from Boston to Jawga, introduction to country music, and exposure to southern living is the same. How funny. Thanks for sharing. Polo: I believe Hank says “we say grace, we say ma’am, if you’re if you ain’t into THAT, we don’t give a damn”
Oooo... Hope you didn't have to do boot at Benning, that shit is *brutal* in summer and the mosquitos are unholy fucking striped mutants as big as your head-- but you know that already lol
I was born and bred in WV and he is singing the truth. The best food is cooked outside over an open fire. In the morning coffee, biscuits and gravy is heaven. Took baths in the mountain spring water. Proud of being hillbilly Went to North Carolina and said, "Yes Mame" and I was pulled to the side and told we did not like that because it reminded her of slavery. Sorry, but to me it was respect for the person asking me the question. Still saying yes mame, no mame, yes sir, no sir and will say that till the day I die. Love the song because he's right, that is the way of life in the hills of WV. GOD BLESS❤️🙏🇺🇸
The problem with most country today is it is more what I would classify as pop, not country. I'm mainly heavy metal (the heavier the better), but when I listen to country I listen to Johnny Cash, Hank Jr. and Sr., Johnny Horton, etc. The old school country singers.
@@Prudogditto here... mid Michigan born in '66, raised by a sportsman , spent alot of time, " up north" on on the many lakes, rivers & woods... I've stayed in San Antonio Texas a few years, but Middle Tennessee is my home and has been for the last 20 years... Always gonna be a Mi Yankee though😂
@Prudog I was 5 😂😂😂 Arkansas likes to think they're southern, but they're more akin to unsweetened tea, a laughable joke that you quickly move on from.
My husband hunts and fishes and works. I take care of the house and the kid and make sure he has a good meal and clean clothes. We've been doing this for 30 years and yes we are still surviving, happily too.
My dad grew up on a farm in Ohio with 11 of his siblings. Back then taking care of the family was more important then school. He joined the Air Force when he was sixteen served 21 years as an air craft mechanic. He didn’t really read and write well but there nothing he couldn’t fix from washers, dryers, cars, air conditioners, carpentry, roofing, run wiring to connect electricity etc. We never had to call a repairman for anything. When I got old enough to know what a truck driver was I started going on runs with him listing to country music. Hank Williams Sr, Pasty Cline, Jim Revees, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Charlie Pride, I could go on and on. Country music eat it best. Men from that era were hardened patriotic family men. Men you didn’t mess with because they had to much to lose. Goggle old time country singers and have fun learning their story telling through song. By the way I love your show. I came upon it by accident and am glad I did.
My father was the son of a west Virginia coal Miner and steel mill family. They are hard people, I lost him 5 years ago and can't listen to this song without tearing up. I'm a country hard FL boy he taught me what he knew but I will never be stone like he was.
I can’t imagine coal mining life. I’m lucky to sit in a control room or in equipment at a surface mine. Underground coal - I would 100% be praying every day wether I thought it was worthwhile or not. Even with today’s safety standards and such, I’d fear for my life each time going under.
I'm from a family of Spar miners coal miners farmers and truckers. Got a couple BIL in aluminum mills Colleges are overated. My nephew went to lineman's school and is now in a mill as an electrician making bank. At 21 yr old.
Grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska here. Hunting isn't a past time or hobby up there, for most it's for survival. And if you don't know how to do basic repairs on what you own then you probably won't own it for very long. For most people up there the most difficult thing is the day and night cycles. Long winters of 18+ hours of pure darkness will mess you up if you don't know how to cope, so we are big hobby people in the wintertime.
I know it was a while back, but I'm sorry for your loss brother. I'm a Florida boy that moved to Tennessee to meet extended family. I like the lifestyle and the mill treats me good. Wish I had done it sooner.
One thing I’ve always loved about country music is that it’s relatable with everyone. Doesn’t matter skin color, background, etc… it genuinely covers real life situations that everyone deals with. I’m not saying everyone has to love the genre but when people give it a chance, the connect to it way more often than not.
His father was a famous singer and died at age 29. This song makes southern people proud to be country. My mother's side are from Mississippi and my father's side from Alabama. It's southern tradition to garden, fish, and hunt. We still can our fresh tomatoes in mason jars, hot peppers, make pickles and much more. Raise our children where they have lots of room to explore nature and learn how to survive just like Hank sang. I am so proud to be Country and yes if the economy goes bad we will survive and city people will have it hard with store shelves empty.
Being a country boy from SW Virginia, it brings a tear to my eye when I see people from other areas of the US showing respect to us country folk. We are not that unlike, one thing I took away from my years in the service, we are all humans trying to make in this world, we have similar wants, needs, and even senses of humor. Had some great times with people from all over the world! Thanks you sir for having an open mind and you seem like a great guy!
I Realize …’ THAT THEY WERE … NORMALIZING …’ CRIME , EVEN BACK THEN … THEY CALLED IT GETTING MUGGED … THEY WERE TOLD TO JUST GIVE HEM YOUR WALLET AND VALUABLES…’ YOUR LIFE …’ WAS WORTH MORE … THAN THE FIGHT …’ AT THAT POINT … THEY LEGALIZED CRIME ❗️ AND THAT IS WHAT THIS SONG 🎵 ALSO POINTS OUT …’ NOW THAT I CAN LOOK BACK , ON IT ❗️
Hank Williams Sr. - So Lonesome I Could Cry, Hank Williams Jr. - Family Tradition, Hank III - Devils Daughter. I was not raised on country, I was born in Cali but my family moved to TX when I was young, I love the Hank Williams Family, their music breaks boundaries 🙌
I am a 70 yr old white woman, I have watched several of your videos and really appreciate that you "listen" to the music. Anyway I am a new subscriber!
Great honest reaction. We are proud here in the South. Black , White, Red or Brown. A country boy is a country boy. I know what you mean by a simpler life. I lived in near Detroit in the 90s. Was always obsessed with making more money and being successful. I moved back to Ky opened up my construction business and never looked back. Just a simpler stress free life. And the races get along way better in these small towns I’ve noticed as well
We really do!! I live in rural North East Texas, predominant black population, grew up in South Texas in a predominantly Hispanic population and never see racial issues like you see/hear about in big cities. Four of my grandkids are mixed because we raised our kids that you look at the character of the person, not the color! ❤️
@@DrrMiMi We didn’t grow up to be like that either. My brothers wife is a black girl. We live in a small town where everyone knows everyone. Lol. Country people are just country people here. If not for the growing number of drug heads it would be a nice little place again
Cities suffer from what I call chicken coop syndrome. Put to many chickens in a coop. They kill each other till they have room. People ain't to different. We need a lil room or we get surly. I also KNOW you have lass privacy in the country. Your neighbors know when you come and go who stops over. 5 families on a 10 mile road you know who comes and goes and when. City people live on top 9f one another and could t tell you their neighbors name let alone have them stop if your broke down to lend a hand or you stopping to do so. Funny how there still is a mind your own business I'll mind mine. Quite the oxymoron lol
“We say grace, we say ma’am…If you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn.” Great reaction video. I too grew up on hip hop and honestly rarely listen to it now that I’m older. It’s sad because there are so many talented artists. The messages many artist project are destroying our youth and society as a whole.
Hank came from country royalty. His dad Hank Sr was also a singer. He passed away at age of 29. Hank Jr was only 3. He sings a song called Family Tradition re his dad and his different styles. Also Hank Jr he tells about almost dying when he fell off a Mt while hiking. He wears a beard and glasses to hide his scars.
@@stacyboon7823 wow that's awesome. I have my tickets when i was supposed to see Elvis in 1977 he passed 2 days before. Cost 15.00. Would have been the 3rd time I would have seen him.
Country music evolved over the decades with the 70s and 80s being the more of a storytelling Era. Country today can't hold a candle to the Country of yesteryear!
6:40 - amen to that! I also like a lot of hip hop, mostly old school, and would love to see more uplifting and positive messages in more songs these days; not just rap and hip hop, but all music.🙂
"We say grace and we say ma'am." We show respect, thankfulness and courtesy. " A country boy can survive." I have a small farm in Mississippi. Just clearing land is hard work you can love. So far, only coyotes have been interested in threatening our stock, but all our guns stay loaded. Yesterday, I found fresh deer tracks. I can hunt without ever leaving the property. Wild blackberries grow on our land. My wife can cook and can. God is good.
Thank you for the authenticity of your reaction. I've always said, "People will make fun of us country folk, until everything goes to pot. Then they will beg for our help." They are in luck. Most of us, would help a total stranger, just because it's the right thing to do. I can also appreciate what you were talking about with today's Hip Hop. But a lot of modern country music is just as toxic and shallow. Pretty much any country artist from the 80's or 90's will be good. This song was originally released in 1981.
@thomas sparks, check out Aaron Lewis’s “Am I the Only One”. There’s still some wholesome country music being made. Maybe the last music genre, other than Christian music, that still has some wholesome artists.
Gen X here: we had the BEST music in the 70s & 80s! Love me some Bocephus 💕👊🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 “We say grace, we say Ma’am; if you ain’t INTO THAT, we don’t give a damn”. Not if you ain’t “in the back”.
On this version, which was recorded in celebration of the 25th anniversary of it's original release, Stevie Wonder is the one playing the harmonica. Hank's fans are vast in many genres. Everyone from country artists, to Ludacris, to Snoop, to Buddy Guy, to Van Halen.
I didn't know that. I said a while ago that if I was given a choice to listen to only one artist playing one instrument for the rest of my life it would be Stevie wonder on the harmonica.
@@zakbzak7 About 5 years before this was being made, there was also a Hank Jr tribute album being made called The Songs of Hank Williams, Jr (A Bocephus Celebration.) Hank re-cut Outlaws Reward with a bunch of artists for the album, Stevie played harmonica on that. This was already being planned at that time. Hank asked if he would like to play on this as well, and there you go.
And Willie you know willie ;he has been in the music business his whole life his daddy died and jr kept his music alive, nothing fake about hank jr,what you see is what you get,class act !
@@jessehill6366 I remember when he received the Award for, Best County Music VIDEO, for All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight. He laughed and made fun of the category the whole time he accepted the award. He thought that category was an oxymoron, County Music VIDEOS. Lol Even though Everybody Loved that VIDEO.
I miss my 'country folk' grandpa. He could do everything about the farm. Weld / fabricate / fix about everything. Made his own 'barbed wire' roller. No more doing it by hand. Then he was born in 1895 - served during WW1 in France. Lived though that and returned to farming on the farm he was born on. Great memories of him removing oak tree stumps with dynamite. (which he legally did back then) He was a demolition expert in the army and had permits for that kind of work. RIP Grandpa.... Miss you still..
I was raised in the country. Unfortunately I don’t live in the country anymore but I get goosebumps every time I hear this song because it’s true and we take pride in being able to survive.
What's wild is his voice is so powerful because it's like one of the only ways he can hear himself singing since he's mostly deaf after his accident. His early stuff he sounded alot like his dad. It's such a unique voice
Hank Williams is a storyteller...love his music. Another group of outlaw country singers is Highwayman... they're Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings. They tour as the Highwaymen, so many videos are concert pieces...great listening.
I saw this legend the summer of 2021. Keep in mind, I'm not much of a country music fan (I'm a heavy metal and rap fan) but I bought my mom tickets for her birthday and went with her. It was more than worth the money. He's definitely an entertainer. And I thought that with all the deaths in the last 3 years, I better see him while he's still around. And again, it was well worth it.
I am a white man and just recently got into watching music videos reactions. Can't tell you how uplifting this journey has been for me. You, Polo, are among the best of those who try to join cultures based not on a common hate, but a common love, which is music. Experiencing and appreciating the art of each other's cultures brings us together amid a very toxic division in today's age. Well done and keep up the great work, my brother!
This song became an anthem in the south in the 80's. You are so right about the environment where you listen, I remember being in a country bar playing pool and rocking out to this, the whole bar was happy and singing. I appreciate your videos, breakdowns and reactions. Your point to positivity in music is dead on, music so influences attitudes and moods.
@@mikemaricle9941 Yep. I'm a Southerner by birth, but my paternal grandfather is from the Dakotas and grew up working on a ranch. He is way more country than most of the good ol' boys around here.
I’m sure someone’s already said this, but if not the bar is….”We say grace, we say ma’am, if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn”. This song is describing how country people are/what we can do in general …men, women and all races that are from the country. ❤
@@areess6209 Look up the official lyrics and you don't have to be so rude and vulgar. And it does make sense. He is making a statement that a country boy says grace (pray) and have respect enough to say ma'am to a woman or mother. It's the way country folk are. I know, I am one. And as old as I am (older then dirt) I still say grace and I still say yes or no ma'am. And btw, saying grace ""includes an Amen"".
Country music, at its Heart, is about "Hey, let me tell you a Story". Some stories are shit, some are gold. This one's gold. BTW, Kenny Rogers' "The Coward of the County" is one of the best stories you'll ever hear...
The interesting thing as I age is how Rap and Country music are structured they are about a message being put out there and more similar than most would care to admit.
It's good to expand your musical experience and get an appreciation for all genres. Glad you found this great example of country music when it was still country music. Doing more of Hank Jr. and expand to his father who was a true pioneer of country music. More power to ya.
This song amazing, made back in the 80s, but it speaks true to what we dealing with today....my friends country, I'm semi city guy...but I can survive...
Very good assessment! We “country boys” do know how to survive! It doesn’t matter if you are black or white, here in the country we watch out for each other and stand with each other! We may not always agree on everything, but when we know one of our neighbors needs help, white or black, we are here for each other! That is HOW OUR FATHERS raised us! Mississippi has been given a black eye by many people that don’t even know us and I wish more people would take the time to get to know us before condemning us as racist! I really enjoyed your reaction to this song by Hank Jr. He is a straight forward speaking man and will stand by his word! We should all learn to be like this! Keep up the good work my friend!👍
The "Back" he references is the backwoods. :) I grew up on country music and raised by country folks. This still holds true 20+ years after the initial release.
My dad loved this song and I do too, and have since I was a kid in the 70’s. I’m a city girl whose parents were raised in the country. I kinda think I’m a cityfied country girl.
I really enjoyed this reaction. I starting listening to reaction videos during the pandemic and not wanting to start a verbal war, I too, had the same thought 6:28. Go back to the songs of the 60’s and especially the 70’s. Black and white artist performing together singing about love and peace and togetherness. If young men and women heard positive lyrics, who knows how things may have turned out. 🧐 But that is a whole other wormhole to go down. I am a daughter of a country WV girl and city OH boy and listened to OG country growing up. George Jones, Waylon Jennings (moms fav) Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams Jr. I am a little bit country but a whole lot of rock and roll.😊 Most country today is more like pop but you can’t argue that a country song always tells a good story, sad or happy and with morals.
We live in Indiana and have a garden. However, my husband is from Tennessee and even after they moved to Indiana, his mom had a garden that was close to an acre in size and preserved/canned everything. She dried beans etc. She grew things I had never heard of. His dad, he & brothers butchered their meat/made sausage (this to was canned). I helped clean chickens ONCE. They caught large turtles in the creek, fried them like chicken. My mil had a wood burning cook stove in her kitchen and a wringer washer on her back porch. I learned so very much from her. We were married in 1973, not so very long ago.
I love that you’re listening ❤️ New sub and big fan. Country is just country. Most of us decided long ago to depend on no one else but one’s own self. You don’t listen to the names or stereotypes thrown at you. You just live what you know is true. It’s a message for anyone. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Btw….he said “if you ain’t into that, we don’t give a damn” …you can sit at the dinner table without praying with us …your still welcome to eat.
I'm thinking about making an AI music video for this song. That's what brings me here today. On another note, would be cool to see a reaction to the AI music video I made for Pink Floyd song "Time". Also, a country song recommendation; Poncho and Lefty by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. (original version is by Townes Van Zandt) Or "Highway Men" "If you ain't into "that" we don't give a damn" is what I think he says.
Steve Earle, Copperhead Road. Another example of how country boys survive. Kenny Rogers’ Coward of the County. Also, not country, but take a listen to Jim Croce Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown and You Don’t Mess Around With Jim. Maybe throw in Lloyd Price’s Stagger Lee for comparison sake.
Garth Brooks is AMAZING as are his shows. Check out: Friends in Low Places, Thunder Rolls (Amazing song), Pappa loved mamma (up beat). They all hit pretty hard! first time watcher..love your videos and perspective!
Alan Jackson will forever turn you onto country, he is the legend above all legends when it comes to country music. Every song he makes tells a story that you won't forget for a long time. Even 25 years later I still recall what happened way down yonder on the Chattahoochee.
You’re like the one guy out there being genuine with your reactions… I can sense when some guys hop on and they’re like “oh that’s fire!” But then at the end of the song they don’t even know what it was about hahah keep it up man I’m subscribed for sure

It was played alot back in the middle 1980’s-1990’s.
Really great song.
From Hank Williams son.

Any idea what he is doing these days??
This is old country when it was real country
This was new country in the country world back then 😄 I think HWJ was the early crossover before Garth Brooks really took country to the mainstream.
Wrong. Old country is the highwaymen, don williams, and Tom t hall
it was great while it lasted! real country yup!
@@BrandonKyle-bu2tehighway men was the same time lol. Old country is Hank Sr, young Conway and George jones etc

I’m from Arkansas, when a boy turns about 10, he gets a fishing pole & a 22 rifle and is expected to bring home food! 😂
10 YEARS OLD I was six when my old man put a 410 in my hands at 10 I was shooting 2 oz slugs out of a 12 gauge and I live in Michigan
You forgot to mention only allowed 2 cartridges!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
10 rofl wtf took so long

@Prudog I was 5 😂😂😂 Arkansas likes to think they're southern, but they're more akin to unsweetened tea, a laughable joke that you quickly move on from.
My husband hunts and fishes and works. I take care of the house and the kid and make sure he has a good meal and clean clothes. We've been doing this for 30 years and yes we are still surviving, happily too.
This song is an ANTHEM not just music. Your feeling it brother!
Damn right
Exactly
You are telling the TRUTH, Darlin'. My tears well up whenever I hear this song.
I love your open mind and you're willingness to check anything out. You're a true American. And a true human.
He said "if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn" 🙂 Great reaction!
My dad grew up on a farm in Ohio with 11 of his siblings. Back then taking care of the family was more important then school. He joined the Air Force when he was sixteen served 21 years as an air craft mechanic. He didn’t really read and write well but there nothing he couldn’t fix from washers, dryers, cars, air conditioners, carpentry, roofing, run wiring to connect electricity etc. We never had to call a repairman for anything. When I got old enough to know what a truck driver was I started going on runs with him listing to country music. Hank Williams Sr, Pasty Cline, Jim Revees, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Charlie Pride, I could go on and on. Country music eat it best. Men from that era were hardened patriotic family men. Men you didn’t mess with because they had to much to lose. Goggle old time country singers and have fun learning their story telling through song.
By the way I love your show. I came upon it by accident and am glad I did.
Pasty Cline 🤣
@@voldemort008 😳🤣😂
"if you aint into THAT we don't give a damn" Great reaction!
Love it miss it so much
Just ran across this and I was going to say the same thing. We thank God and respect elders and if you don't we don't judge. Most of the time
Dat not that
If you ain't in to that we don't give a damn, TRUTH, minding your own business not pushing agenda on others is being country
You are correct I love country. And Motown music .of course I am 74 yrs old woman ❤ good music
We hold this song close to our hearts. It is at the core of most of our values.
Yup!!!
Perfectly expressed. Well done sir. All the best to you and yours. Keep working for our Republic.
Yea, we ain't starting shit we just end it.
It’s our anthem
My father was the son of a west Virginia coal Miner and steel mill family. They are hard people, I lost him 5 years ago and can't listen to this song without tearing up. I'm a country hard FL boy he taught me what he knew but I will never be stone like he was.
I can’t imagine coal mining life. I’m lucky to sit in a control room or in equipment at a surface mine. Underground coal - I would 100% be praying every day wether I thought it was worthwhile or not. Even with today’s safety standards and such, I’d fear for my life each time going under.
I'm from a family of Spar miners coal miners farmers and truckers.
Got a couple BIL in aluminum mills
Colleges are overated. My nephew went to lineman's school and is now in a mill as an electrician making bank. At 21 yr old.
😔🙏
Grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska here. Hunting isn't a past time or hobby up there, for most it's for survival. And if you don't know how to do basic repairs on what you own then you probably won't own it for very long. For most people up there the most difficult thing is the day and night cycles. Long winters of 18+ hours of pure darkness will mess you up if you don't know how to cope, so we are big hobby people in the wintertime.
I know it was a while back, but I'm sorry for your loss brother. I'm a Florida boy that moved to Tennessee to meet extended family. I like the lifestyle and the mill treats me good. Wish I had done it sooner.
I grew up a city boy, but saved my money and now live in the country. If I can spend the rest of my life surrounded by country folk, I will.
One thing I’ve always loved about country music is that it’s relatable with everyone. Doesn’t matter skin color, background, etc… it genuinely covers real life situations that everyone deals with.
I’m not saying everyone has to love the genre but when people give it a chance, the connect to it way more often than not.
His father was a famous singer and died at age 29. This song makes southern people proud to be country. My mother's side are from Mississippi and my father's side from Alabama.
It's southern tradition to garden, fish, and hunt. We still can our fresh tomatoes in mason jars, hot peppers, make pickles and much more. Raise our children where they have lots of room to explore nature and learn how to survive just like Hank sang.
I am so proud to be Country and yes if the economy goes bad we will survive and city people will have it hard with store shelves empty.
I have always liked this song I am from the country in Canada
Grew up country moved to the city when I was 18 moved back last year bought some land and getting ready for that very thing It’s coming
You might want to try "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle.
Most definitely
Y’all can’t go wrong with Bocephus! That was his dad’s nickname for him. ❤️🔥👵🏼☮️
I thought it was Waylon
Whalen‘s nickname was Hauchaco. I believe that’s what it was, I am not for sure about the spelling
Waylon.
Stupid voice recognition
@@garyt521 Watasha. Hank gave him that nickname.
That’s not a nickname that’s his first name
We got ya, cmon on down south. We will help you, feed you , pray with and protect you.
This song is more relevant than ever.
"If you ain't into that.."
Being a country boy from SW Virginia, it brings a tear to my eye when I see people from other areas of the US showing respect to us country folk. We are not that unlike, one thing I took away from my years in the service, we are all humans trying to make in this world, we have similar wants, needs, and even senses of humor. Had some great times with people from all over the world! Thanks you sir for having an open mind and you seem like a great guy!
Country people are the back bone of society and the ones who will survive if society collapsed while city people perished.
I come from the West Virginia coal mines, and the look in their faces when the narrative collapses is heart-warming.
THAT SONG 🎵
NEVER GETS OLD 👏
I Realize …’
THAT THEY WERE … NORMALIZING …’
CRIME , EVEN BACK THEN …
THEY CALLED IT GETTING MUGGED …
THEY WERE TOLD TO JUST GIVE HEM YOUR WALLET AND VALUABLES…’
YOUR LIFE …’
WAS WORTH MORE … THAN THE FIGHT …’
AT THAT POINT …
THEY LEGALIZED CRIME ❗️
AND THAT IS WHAT
THIS SONG 🎵
ALSO POINTS OUT …’
NOW THAT I CAN LOOK BACK , ON IT ❗️
He was the CMA performer of the year 5 times for a reason. Hank is a legend.
Hank Williams Sr. - So Lonesome I Could Cry, Hank Williams Jr. - Family Tradition, Hank III - Devils Daughter.
I was not raised on country, I was born in Cali but my family moved to TX when I was young, I love the Hank Williams Family, their music breaks boundaries 🙌
4th gen just started. 3 is my favorite though.
Family Tradition was our song at my first wedding...
"If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn"
I am a 70 yr old white woman, I have watched several of your videos and really appreciate that you "listen" to the music. Anyway I am a new subscriber!
White 60 yr old Okie.
Love this channel!
Hank Junior's music can't be pigeonholed. He's very versatile.
It’s true. Country sounds great in my truck
Great honest reaction. We are proud here in the South. Black , White, Red or Brown. A country boy is a country boy. I know what you mean by a simpler life. I lived in near Detroit in the 90s. Was always obsessed with making more money and being successful. I moved back to Ky opened up my construction business and never looked back. Just a simpler stress free life. And the races get along way better in these small towns I’ve noticed as well
We really do!! I live in rural North East Texas, predominant black population, grew up in South Texas in a predominantly Hispanic population and never see racial issues like you see/hear about in big cities. Four of my grandkids are mixed because we raised our kids that you look at the character of the person, not the color! ❤️
@@DrrMiMi We didn’t grow up to be like that either. My brothers wife is a black girl. We live in a small town where everyone knows everyone. Lol. Country people are just country people here. If not for the growing number of drug heads it would be a nice little place again
Cities suffer from what I call chicken coop syndrome. Put to many chickens in a coop. They kill each other till they have room. People ain't to different. We need a lil room or we get surly. I also KNOW you have lass privacy in the country. Your neighbors know when you come and go who stops over. 5 families on a 10 mile road you know who comes and goes and when. City people live on top 9f one another and could t tell you their neighbors name let alone have them stop if your broke down to lend a hand or you stopping to do so. Funny how there still is a mind your own business I'll mind mine. Quite the oxymoron lol
“We say grace, we say ma’am…If you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn.” Great reaction video. I too grew up on hip hop and honestly rarely listen to it now that I’m older. It’s sad because there are so many talented artists. The messages many artist project are destroying our youth and society as a whole.
It's "we say Grace and we say mam" if you ain't into that we don't give a damn...
@@leegoldman7491 awesome thanks for correcting me, I always thought it was amen and had never looked it up. ma’am actually rhymes shoulda known.
Hank came from country royalty. His dad Hank Sr was also a singer. He passed away at age of 29. Hank Jr was only 3. He sings a song called Family Tradition re his dad and his different styles. Also Hank Jr he tells about almost dying when he fell off a Mt while hiking. He wears a beard and glasses to hide his scars.
My Dad saw Hank Sr in May 1952 and I still have the ticket . He paid $1.50 . 0.17 went to Education Tax
@@stacyboon7823 wow that's awesome. I have my tickets when i was supposed to see Elvis in 1977 he passed 2 days before. Cost 15.00. Would have been the 3rd time I would have seen him.
bella1114 - I know you meant to say 1977 since Elvis died on August 16, 1977. 😊. Correct?
@@steveandtammyb yes, sorry must off had a brain fart. Hehe
Correction 0.17 went to Hospital tax
Could you just imagine hip hop with a positive message, it would be unstoppable to teach the youth!
Country music is where its at, it will never go out of style!
Country music evolved over the decades with the 70s and 80s being the more of a storytelling Era.
Country today can't hold a candle to the Country of yesteryear!
6:40 - amen to that! I also like a lot of hip hop, mostly old school, and would love to see more uplifting and positive messages in more songs these days; not just rap and hip hop, but all music.🙂
We will indeed be the last ones standing. YOU can survive too Sir!
This song was played at my cousins funeral. A true country boy!
RIP CUZ!
My condolences
"We say grace and we say ma'am." We show respect, thankfulness and courtesy. " A country boy can survive." I have a small farm in Mississippi. Just clearing land is hard work you can love. So far, only coyotes have been interested in threatening our stock, but all our guns stay loaded. Yesterday, I found fresh deer tracks. I can hunt without ever leaving the property. Wild blackberries grow on our land. My wife can cook and can. God is good.
Same here in Alabama. We have a farm- animals, gardens…. And hunting right outside our door. It is a wonderful life❤️
I think he’s made his daddy proud!
I think he says "we say grace and we say mam, if you ain't Into that, we don't give a damn." Glad you liked it.🥰
Dude absolutely love your reaction he's one of my favorite artists he says if you ain't into that we don't give a damn
Kentucky boy here, my national anthem!
Thank you for the authenticity of your reaction. I've always said, "People will make fun of us country folk, until everything goes to pot. Then they will beg for our help." They are in luck. Most of us, would help a total stranger, just because it's the right thing to do. I can also appreciate what you were talking about with today's Hip Hop. But a lot of modern country music is just as toxic and shallow. Pretty much any country artist from the 80's or 90's will be good. This song was originally released in 1981.
Amen brother
Check out No One To Blame by Chris Stapleton and Country Is Country Wide by Brantley Gilbert.
Just as much 80s and 90s(especially) County was just as phoney, its the outlaw County thats the good stuff
You got that right like here in the razorback
@thomas sparks, check out Aaron Lewis’s “Am I the Only One”. There’s still some wholesome country music being made. Maybe the last music genre, other than Christian music, that still has some wholesome artists.
Hank is a legend👍👍
Bocephus 🙌
Gen X here: we had the BEST music in the 70s & 80s! Love me some Bocephus 💕👊🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
“We say grace, we say Ma’am; if you ain’t INTO THAT, we don’t give a damn”. Not if you ain’t “in the back”.
"We say grace, we say ma'am. If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn"💯💯💯
On this version, which was recorded in celebration of the 25th anniversary of it's original release, Stevie Wonder is the one playing the harmonica. Hank's fans are vast in many genres. Everyone from country artists, to Ludacris, to Snoop, to Buddy Guy, to Van Halen.
I didn't know that. I said a while ago that if I was given a choice to listen to only one artist playing one instrument for the rest of my life it would be Stevie wonder on the harmonica.
@@zakbzak7 About 5 years before this was being made, there was also a Hank Jr tribute album being made called The Songs of Hank Williams, Jr (A Bocephus Celebration.) Hank re-cut Outlaws Reward with a bunch of artists for the album, Stevie played harmonica on that. This was already being planned at that time. Hank asked if he would like to play on this as well, and there you go.
And Willie you know willie ;he has been in the music business his whole life his daddy died and jr kept his music alive, nothing fake about hank jr,what you see is what you get,class act !
@@jessehill6366 I remember when he received the Award for, Best County Music VIDEO, for All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight. He laughed and made fun of the category the whole time he accepted the award. He thought that category was an oxymoron, County Music VIDEOS. Lol Even though Everybody Loved that VIDEO.
I miss my 'country folk' grandpa. He could do everything about the farm. Weld / fabricate / fix about everything. Made his own 'barbed wire' roller. No more doing it by hand. Then he was born in 1895 - served during WW1 in France. Lived though that and returned to farming on the farm he was born on. Great memories of him removing oak tree stumps with dynamite. (which he legally did back then) He was a demolition expert in the army and had permits for that kind of work. RIP Grandpa.... Miss you still..
Haha, me and daddy bought some dynamite in 77' to level a place for our cabin. You could do that kinda thing back then. I sure do miss him.
Can I just say I'm jealous you had someone like that in your life and he and you sound like badasses! From at random 21 year old
I'm a giant history buff so this little snippet of someone's life experience make me happy to hear
Anytime you're blowing stuff up it's a party...
I was raised in the country. Unfortunately I don’t live in the country anymore but I get goosebumps every time I hear this song because it’s true and we take pride in being able to survive.
What's wild is his voice is so powerful because it's like one of the only ways he can hear himself singing since he's mostly deaf after his accident. His early stuff he sounded alot like his dad. It's such a unique voice
Hank Williams is a storyteller...love his music. Another group of outlaw country singers is Highwayman... they're Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings. They tour as the Highwaymen, so many videos are concert pieces...great listening.
"Very digestible", I've never heard a country song described with such perfection.
We say country girls can s service. We love Hank Jr.
One of the top 100 songs of the century. Timeless. I like this type of country than the trash now.
I saw this legend the summer of 2021. Keep in mind, I'm not much of a country music fan (I'm a heavy metal and rap fan) but I bought my mom tickets for her birthday and went with her. It was more than worth the money. He's definitely an entertainer. And I thought that with all the deaths in the last 3 years, I better see him while he's still around. And again, it was well worth it.
Music. Like art, tells a story. When it's done right, it touches your soul and that's it's purpose. Makes you stop and think. Good reaction, thanks.
His dad told him when you sing, you need to make them feel it. Make them cry.
That's not a quote, but you get it.
I am not a huge country fan, but I was very moved by Johnny Cash's rendition of the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt.
THIS. THIS. THIS!!!! And that video?!!! He won a Grammy for the song and vma for the video!!
Um it’s Johnnys song….
@Jessica Ostrom it is now but it wasn't originally.
If you ain't into that*
I am a white man and just recently got into watching music videos reactions. Can't tell you how uplifting this journey has been for me. You, Polo, are among the best of those who try to join cultures based not on a common hate, but a common love, which is music. Experiencing and appreciating the art of each other's cultures brings us together amid a very toxic division in today's age. Well done and keep up the great work, my brother!
Well said!!
The line is “We say grace and we say ma’am. If you ain’t into that, we don’t give a damn.
This song became an anthem in the south in the 80's. You are so right about the environment where you listen, I remember being in a country bar playing pool and rocking out to this, the whole bar was happy and singing. I appreciate your videos, breakdowns and reactions. Your point to positivity in music is dead on, music so influences attitudes and moods.
Us northern country boys kinda take a shine to it too.
the song is utterly authentic country and an utterly timeless classic
@@mikemaricle9941 Yep. I'm a Southerner by birth, but my paternal grandfather is from the Dakotas and grew up working on a ranch. He is way more country than most of the good ol' boys around here.
country music is just storytelling with guitars & fiddle!! Hank's dad was the ICONIC Hank Williams - a true LEGEND in country music!!!
This song always gives me chills
same here Bub
Best song ever
I’m sure someone’s already said this, but if not the bar is….”We say grace, we say ma’am, if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn”.
This song is describing how country people are/what we can do in general …men, women and all races that are from the country. ❤
You can call us "Rednecks " all day long and we will just take it as a compliment! It's not the insult that people think it is. We earn our red necks!
I love all kinds of music. All genres are awesome and have its place. How about Merle Haggard - “Mama Tried” or “Walkin’on the Fightin’ Side of Me”
Country music is three chords and the truth. Yes Polo I remember hip hop was about social commentary and mostly about fun.
We say Grace and we say ,,,, AMEN !
Its..
We say grace, We say AMEN, if you're not into that, we Don't give a damn.!
He said, "We say grace and we say ma'am, if ya aint into that we don't give a damn". Loved your reaction.
Say amen. Not ma'am.
@@areess6209 Sorry but it is, "We say grace and we say ""ma'am"", if ya aint into that we don't give a damn".
@@yvonnemassey3658 I know the fucking song. He says amen. Not ma'am. GRACE, and AMEN. MA'AM doesn't even make sense.
@@areess6209 Look up the official lyrics and you don't have to be so rude and vulgar. And it does make sense. He is making a statement that a country boy says grace (pray) and have respect enough to say ma'am to a woman or mother. It's the way country folk are. I know, I am one. And as old as I am (older then dirt) I still say grace and I still say yes or no ma'am. And btw, saying grace ""includes an Amen"".
@@yvonnemassey3658 I don't need to look up what the internet thinks the words are. It's amen. I'm old too.
Country music, at its Heart, is about "Hey, let me tell you a Story". Some stories are shit, some are gold. This one's gold. BTW, Kenny Rogers' "The Coward of the County" is one of the best stories you'll ever hear...
Im a cajun bayou girl and we cajuns know how to survive and enjoy simple things like crawfis boils fish fry nights and bbqs simple life
The interesting thing as I age is how Rap and Country music are structured they are about a message being put out there and more similar than most would care to admit.
I appreciate watching your sincere reactions. I could see how much you liked this song written all over your face!
Hank Jr. Is a beast guitarist musician grew up on his and his dad's stuff cause of my dad and grandfather they were farmer/ ranchers here in Texas
Too many interruptions in the middle.
It's good to expand your musical experience and get an appreciation for all genres. Glad you found this great example of country music when it was still country music. Doing more of Hank Jr. and expand to his father who was a true pioneer of country music. More power to ya.
Ha, I’m glad you liked it. I haven’t come across anyone that doesn’t.
This song amazing, made back in the 80s, but it speaks true to what we dealing with today....my friends country, I'm semi city guy...but I can survive...
Very good assessment! We “country boys” do know how to survive! It doesn’t matter if you are black or white, here in the country we watch out for each other and stand with each other! We may not always agree on everything, but when we know one of our neighbors needs help, white or black, we are here for each other! That is HOW OUR FATHERS raised us!
Mississippi has been given a black eye by many people that don’t even know us and I wish more people would take the time to get to know us before condemning us as racist!
I really enjoyed your reaction to this song by Hank Jr. He is a straight forward speaking man and will stand by his word! We should all learn to be like this!
Keep up the good work my friend!👍
The "Back" he references is the backwoods. :) I grew up on country music and raised by country folks. This still holds true 20+ years after the initial release.
I thank God I’m a country girl. I can’t imagine living in a city
Tom Macdonald has that kinda stuff in his lyrics. He's a positive influence type rapper. Boy has skills, too! 🇺🇲
Good reaction bro.
tom McDonald is from Canadia. that dude can go to he!!
@@cmortenson3647 So can you. Hes more American than you boy
My dad loved this song and I do too, and have since I was a kid in the 70’s. I’m a city girl whose parents were raised in the country. I kinda think I’m a cityfied country girl.
I really enjoyed this reaction. I starting listening to reaction videos during the pandemic and not wanting to start a verbal war, I too, had the same thought 6:28.
Go back to the songs of the 60’s and especially the 70’s. Black and white artist performing together singing about love and peace and togetherness.
If young men and women heard positive lyrics, who knows how things may have turned out. 🧐
But that is a whole other wormhole to go down.
I am a daughter of a country WV girl and city OH boy and listened to OG country growing up. George Jones, Waylon Jennings (moms fav) Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams Jr. I am a little bit country but a whole lot of rock and roll.😊
Most country today is more like pop but you can’t argue that a country song always tells a good story, sad or happy and with morals.
We live in Indiana and have a garden. However, my husband is from Tennessee and even after they moved to Indiana, his mom had a garden that was close to an acre in size and preserved/canned everything. She dried beans etc. She grew things I had never heard of. His dad, he & brothers butchered their meat/made sausage (this to was canned). I helped clean chickens ONCE. They caught large turtles in the creek, fried them like chicken. My mil had a wood burning cook stove in her kitchen and a wringer washer on her back porch. I learned so very much from her. We were married in 1973, not so very long ago.
"if you ain't into THAT we don't give a damn!!! Country girls can survive with or without our country boys!!!!
🙄
I love that you’re listening ❤️ New sub and big fan. Country is just country. Most of us decided long ago to depend on no one else but one’s own self. You don’t listen to the names or stereotypes thrown at you. You just live what you know is true. It’s a message for anyone. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Btw….he said “if you ain’t into that, we don’t give a damn” …you can sit at the dinner table without praying with us …your still welcome to eat.
Most of us country folk depend on GOD.
What country song should I check out next? Don't forget to drop a like if you enjoy this genre
I'm thinking about making an AI music video for this song. That's what brings me here today. On another note, would be cool to see a reaction to the AI music video I made for Pink Floyd song "Time".
Also, a country song recommendation; Poncho and Lefty by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. (original version is by Townes Van Zandt)
Or
"Highway Men"
"If you ain't into "that" we don't give a damn" is what I think he says.
If you ain't into that.
Check out Chris Stapleton "Tennessee Whiskey" if you haven't yet.
Steve Earle, Copperhead Road. Another example of how country boys survive.
Kenny Rogers’ Coward of the County.
Also, not country, but take a listen to Jim Croce Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown and You Don’t Mess Around With Jim. Maybe throw in Lloyd Price’s Stagger Lee for comparison sake.
Garth Brooks is AMAZING as are his shows. Check out: Friends in Low Places, Thunder Rolls (Amazing song), Pappa loved mamma (up beat). They all hit pretty hard! first time watcher..love your videos and perspective!
much love. keep up the great reactions.
Alan Jackson will forever turn you onto country, he is the legend above all legends when it comes to country music. Every song he makes tells a story that you won't forget for a long time. Even 25 years later I still recall what happened way down yonder on the Chattahoochee.
Remember When still makes me tear up.
The line is "we say grace, and we say ma'am, if you aint into that we don't give a damn"....loving the reaction darlin
My East Texas husband visited Boston once, shocked the ladies when he said ma'am and gave up his seat on the bus. They were swooning ❤️
@@DrrMiMi well its just ingrained in us. I'm scared my momma will come out her grave if I don't us my manners
You’re like the one guy out there being genuine with your reactions… I can sense when some guys hop on and they’re like “oh that’s fire!” But then at the end of the song they don’t even know what it was about hahah keep it up man I’m subscribed for sure
Being a city boy but really wish I was brought up in the country.
