I’m a 50-year-old l West Virginia coal Miner, working six days a week I understand every lyric to this song it is my life it’s not the choice I made. Thank you, Brad. Not many people understand you nailed it.
No doubt Brother!! My Grandma and her 2 Brothers left Taylor County, WV 100 years ago for opportunities in Ohio. I remember visiting where they were raised back in the 80's. Bare bones poverty, but the nicest, kindest people on this earth
Wow, is this a new song just seeing the light of day? So glad a ‘mainstream artist’ is tapping into the grassroots scenes that are really taking hold these days. Very nice!!
Unfortunately you're just going to see more good and genuine artists sell their souls as a result of all this country music hype that's going on. Like that shitbag Childers promoting depravity.
Good to see Brad has not forgotten his roots. Around Wheeling where he grew up, this is reality. The problem is that Brad and Oliver Anthony care more than our elected officials who make sure this legal poison keeps flowing into Appalachia
Holy smokes, this is dead on the money with what has happened to the heart of Appalachia. I watched my father get beat to pieces moving coal for the Elk River Railroad. His work broke his back down till he couldn't work anymore, but it wasn't his job that took him from us. It was the medicine that the pain clinic doctor promised would ease the pain.
I don’t sense any authenticity here definitely when it’s coming from a guy who said getting the JAB is a patriotic thing. He doesn’t care about the people he is singing about. Mainstream is trying to find a way to tap into this sound that is exploding. He’s just trying to refresh his image after taking horrible stances the past couple years. Stances which completely contradict the words he’s singing!!!!!! Everyone don’t feed into this bullshit!
Holy shit. I've never heard him sing like this. Thank you, not only for this song- but never forgetting your roots...even though sometimes it feels easier to do just that... I'm a wv native. My "home" in roane county- the county I remember growing up in- is but a mere memory. What has taken it over rips my heart out... But it's the reality of it.
The bar he refers to is right down the road from where he lived. It's where we all became men learning to drown the down. I've spent too much time there to even remember. This one really gives me hope that music hasn't really died. Just wrote him and told him so.
I am subscriber to this channel.. Love it.. People I never heard before... Mr Paisley, there is a reason you are where you are in your career.. This acoustic song is proof to why you are successful. WELL DONE 👍
The truth! This song is the truth. I won’t calm to be a coal miner, but I know the “meds” in those bottles sure can turn a good man into a devil far too fast to “fix” my own problems
What a beautiful song of a true and grim reality that I hope will help garner the attention it so deeply deserves. May God Bless us all for we are sons & daughters. Those lost, survivors, and daily risers one and all.
I'm a Substance Abuse Counselor and I've seen the reality of this song. Thank you, Brad for singing about this issue that the majority of the rest of the world turns a blind eye to. May God bless you and yours.
Absolutely wonderful. From his cover of You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive, to this original song, Brad really understands the pain in the hills of the Appalachian coal pits of eastern America.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Hearing Grady Smith address that in one of his latest videos, it's nice to see even big-name Nashville artists go back to more strip-down acoustic music and videos. th-cam.com/video/nyHd-XaHUAE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qKYOTGm-NjHWHVF0 (Jump to 10:40 to see the comment, though the entire video is a very informative thesis) I love me some of the newer stuff by Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Charles Wesley Godwin, Sam Barber, Chris Stapleton, and the aforementioned Oliver Anthony and all of those artist from that independent/songwriter scene. But to see guys like Brad Paisley, a gent I grew up listening too, go back to this aesthetic really warms my heart. I missed his music from the American Saturday Night album and everything prior to it. It's nice to hear a really talented songwriter and singer and guitarist like Brad to let that talent shine without any of the highly edited production that Wheelhouse to Love and War had.
Very well done . I grew up in the coal fields of southern West Virginia on the Kentucky border There is 100% truth in this song I graduated high school in 1993 , immediately left and joined the Marines . Had a good tour of 4 years ,, been in Tennessee since then . Love to go home and visit , but thankful I never had to make a living there
Best seat in the house.... This was so cool... Like a personal concert out in them their mountains!! I am in awe of this guy! From the unbelievable skill on his Telecaster to a bare bone's performance on the "old Martin" .......He inspires me to keep trying to get better on guitar and as a person!!
I never comment, but I think Oliver Anthony is bringing these I've had fame country guys back to their roots. I loved country until it wasn't county anymore. Everyone was too fearful to sing the truth of what was actually happening. Thanks for bringing light to such a horrendous situation everyone everywhere is facing.
I/we live this and I can't think of a better song to explain the Appalachian epidemic we're suffering and living through. Families, loved ones, friends gone.... for a few dollars. Thank you for doing this! 😢
This raw performance is seriously above amazing. When all these new artists are coming out with the raw sound (which I love) brad shows everyone why he's the og.
The only country singer that ive ever listened to.,also, the only one, i ever will.thank you for this song.i hope the people that did this to us,get theirs..big pharma is guilty.⚔️
Thanks for giving a shit about the real issues about the little people because it needs to be said. It needs to be understood so that this won't happen so prolifically again. Oh yeah , in case you didn't know, you are too talented to be in contemporary country music of today. If you and Chris Stapleton up and left the Nashville scene , they wouldn't have enough talent left over to do a christmas album!
I'm from WV. I want to know what's being done to help our people, our kids. Everyone's addicted. It's a shame what our towns have become. There's no rehabs being built up. There's no mental health facilities popping up. Where's the help for our children. NO ONE DOES ANYTHING.
I know this channel is happy getting someone from mainstream, but that is not what you got you where you are at now. Stick with original voices and original people. I’m only saying what everyone else is feeling
Glen Dale WV Native seems to be getting away from the grips of Nashville and back to his roots of the harsh reality of the Ohio Valley, it’s nice to see some light shed on such a dim situation for many that live there.
Everyone who thinks we should hear more mainstream singers do this; comment a #1 Everyone who thinks this channel should stick with the original theme; comment a #2
Finally get to see and hear the real talent of Brad Paisley, not that over marketed crap you hear on the radio. Good on you Brad!!! Great message here.
This is weird to see Brad do this. I've always liked his music, but he's been big lights and big stages for so long..this feels fake. Love this channel and the artists you've platformed though!
@rjsfarm2534 perhaps I've grown too cynical over the years. As far as I know he has never been a "just me and my guitar" guy. Is he doing this because he came to check out Oliver and the other artists here and they have inspired him, or did his manager call him up and say let's be the first ones to cash in. Either way, if it means he brings more attention to the phenomenal artists here, then it's a definite win!
@@sandy4282 I think it’s a little bit of both. Big labels definitely see what is going on and want to cash in, and I think artists want a more freedom to express their creativity, and that seems to be what is selling. It’s a fun wave to ride.
Either way, if popular artists want to share the stage with the grass roots and play good music while they're here, I say it can only bring everyone up
I’m a 50-year-old l West Virginia coal Miner, working six days a week I understand every lyric to this song it is my life it’s not the choice I made. Thank you, Brad. Not many people understand you nailed it.
Cute....
I'm from Logan county I live in Georgia now I've lost people close to me I know what he's singing about
No doubt Brother!! My Grandma and her 2 Brothers left Taylor County, WV 100 years ago for opportunities in Ohio. I remember visiting where they were raised back in the 80's. Bare bones poverty, but the nicest, kindest people on this earth
but he sold out to the globalists by doing a song with a scam president. explain that. wake up
Any man who had killed their body to make a living in construction or mining and power plants and so much more can understand this song to the core
Damn fine song Brad! So awesome for you to be on the channel! More proof this is where REAL country music is!!
Wow, is this a new song just seeing the light of day? So glad a ‘mainstream artist’ is tapping into the grassroots scenes that are really taking hold these days. Very nice!!
Unfortunately you're just going to see more good and genuine artists sell their souls as a result of all this country music hype that's going on. Like that shitbag Childers promoting depravity.
Great song. 👍
Jumping on the bandwagon
Good to see Brad has not forgotten his roots. Around Wheeling where he grew up, this is reality. The problem is that Brad and Oliver Anthony care more than our elected officials who make sure this legal poison keeps flowing into Appalachia
As a West Virginian, I feel the power and truth behind every word. Can’t wait to hear this on the new album!
Holy smokes, this is dead on the money with what has happened to the heart of Appalachia. I watched my father get beat to pieces moving coal for the Elk River Railroad. His work broke his back down till he couldn't work anymore, but it wasn't his job that took him from us. It was the medicine that the pain clinic doctor promised would ease the pain.
Lol copying #OliverAnthonyMusic's background ain't gonna gain extra popularity. Go be original.
God bless Brad Paisley 🙏
Haven't heard something as authentic and powerful from Brad since the early 2000's. a true return to form here
I don’t sense any authenticity here definitely when it’s coming from a guy who said getting the JAB is a patriotic thing. He doesn’t care about the people he is singing about. Mainstream is trying to find a way to tap into this sound that is exploding. He’s just trying to refresh his image after taking horrible stances the past couple years. Stances which completely contradict the words he’s singing!!!!!! Everyone don’t feed into this bullshit!
That's what I said! He hasn't been worth listening to for well over a decade at least. This was amazing to hear!
Holy shit. I've never heard him sing like this.
Thank you, not only for this song- but never forgetting your roots...even though sometimes it feels easier to do just that...
I'm a wv native. My "home" in roane county- the county I remember growing up in- is but a mere memory. What has taken it over rips my heart out...
But it's the reality of it.
It's rare to get this side of Brad, and it's a treasure to hear. It almost reminds me of "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive", from his Part II album.
It's sad to say that I felt this way too much, having lost a bunch of family and friends, but it IS an awesome song and I appreciated hearing it.
The bar he refers to is right down the road from where he lived. It's where we all became men learning to drown the down. I've spent too much time there to even remember. This one really gives me hope that music hasn't really died. Just wrote him and told him so.
Let’s goooo 🥳
I am subscriber to this channel.. Love it.. People I never heard before... Mr Paisley, there is a reason you are where you are in your career.. This acoustic song is proof to why you are successful. WELL DONE 👍
The truth! This song is the truth. I won’t calm to be a coal miner, but I know the “meds” in those bottles sure can turn a good man into a devil far too fast to “fix” my own problems
I've been wanting to hear more acoustic BP videos just like this. Thank you!
What a beautiful song of a true and grim reality that I hope will help garner the attention it so deeply deserves. May God Bless us all for we are sons & daughters. Those lost, survivors, and daily risers one and all.
Damn!! What a mighty fine song!!
hauntingly beautiful lyrics and melody
Really enjoyed this Brad......you are indeed a true Son of West Virginia. The citizens are proud of you.
Another storyteller singing another masterpiece we need the life he's singing about back simple and innocent
Thank you for the love and support❤💪
I'm a Substance Abuse Counselor and I've seen the reality of this song. Thank you, Brad for singing about this issue that the majority of the rest of the world turns a blind eye to. May God bless you and yours.

I bet it really tears him up as he's lounging around in his mansion smoking fine Cuban cigars.
@@ericcartmansstrengthandpow5960 cry about it
Ma'n why is this song not blowed up 😢
That's the Song Of The Year right there. It SHOULD be.
Look I'm Oliver Anthony lmfao maybe if I sing in the woods I'll be relevant again
i guess this guy sold a little more than Oliver Anthony
What a beautiful song and an important message. Wether this is your reality or not, this message hits in all the right ways. Great job 👍
Quality sounding guitar , great playing and vocal 👏🤙
Oliver Anthony is bringing out the best of other artists ❤️ Brad back to his roots
That's exactly what I was thinking. Hearing Grady Smith address that in one of his latest videos, it's nice to see even big-name Nashville artists go back to more strip-down acoustic music and videos.

There is 100% truth in this song
I graduated high school in 1993 , immediately left and joined the Marines . Had a good tour of 4 years ,, been in Tennessee since then . Love to go home and visit , but thankful I never had to make a living there
This is the song of the year as far as I’m concerned.
Beautifully sad song ❤

First concert i ever went to was brad. Still one my favorite. Love his version of every back home song!
Yessirrr!! 🔥
Awesome. Talent. Killer tone. Haunting tune.
To the heart. Thank you brad
If this ain’t the realist song you ever played I don’t know what is
This is awesome!
I'd rather deal with my pain keep that slip while I give you one with my finger in the air to that beautiful song nothin but truth ❤🎉
Thanks for the love and support❤, fans like you keeps me going✅
Been listening to you my whole life thank you for remembering me to fight
This isn't a song it's a truth cry
Glad to See him doing some work good song
I’m guessing that no “Pro-Bono” lawyer would ever touch a Big Pharma topic like this one.
Beautiful brad
Love this song
I never comment, but I think Oliver Anthony is bringing these I've had fame country guys back to their roots. I loved country until it wasn't county anymore. Everyone was too fearful to sing the truth of what was actually happening. Thanks for bringing light to such a horrendous situation everyone everywhere is facing.
Thank you from a daughter of Barbour County, West Virginia! God Bless you for not forgetting your roots!
Brad, thank you for this. Ive been a fan from the beginning. Always will be..
Love Listening To Brad Sing His Songs There Are True And Sad
What a powerful song and commentary of life in this current world!
A really good guitar player and a great song because it tells the hard truth.
I/we live this and I can't think of a better song to explain the Appalachian epidemic we're suffering and living through. Families, loved ones, friends gone.... for a few dollars. Thank you for doing this! 😢
🥹🥰♥️💯💯💯🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank your for this… I’d love to see u in person… where do u normally play?
"The drugstore and the undertaker...the only business that boom." Ouch.
Wow… The recording sounds so full and full of dubs… But this is just Brad with his guitar and you can barely tell it’s not the recording
This raw performance is seriously above amazing. When all these new artists are coming out with the raw sound (which I love) brad shows everyone why he's the og.
I'm so glad that I discovered this channel!
The only country singer that ive ever listened to.,also, the only one, i ever will.thank you for this song.i hope the people that did this to us,get theirs..big pharma is guilty.⚔️

Amazing. Too common of a story.
So why isn’t this being played on current country radio??
I got a feeling this Brad fellow's going places.
Listen to Donald ray newsome song called methadone
I can't find it. Post link.
Love it!!!
No one’s got soul like Appalachia.
I cant believe this legend showed up for your channel
I love this in so many ways, thank you
Great song but honestly he didn't make me feel it.
Brad question what town did you used in your music video?
So talented... hard to imagine how he could be a liberal
This is the Brad Paisley music I like! Great song!
YEAHHH!!! Good Stuff!! Edit.. FN Solid!!!
Really like it, true to life sound.
This Song Is So True And he singing It Just Right
Daddy Brad!!
I love it!
Nice job Brad..! Pex
Thank you Brad!

Trying to be Oliver 😂..
Brad, really happy to see you finally come home. You painted this one of home well. Hope you stay awhile....Moundsville
My favourite lyric is “then the devil’s in mg”. I bet your English teacher is so proud! I love this song, even though it’s about such an awful truth.
Questa canzone e molto bella!Brad,ha una voce meravigliosa....😊🤗😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💓💋💯🌅

I can understand the internal pain of the song..🤍
It's great Brad...
I didn't know Hank Azaria sang country music. Is there anything that man can't do.
Guess they gotta start copying oliver anthony
To keep up
Not to be that guy, but the first performance videos of Brad playing this song are from March, so a bit before rich men north of richmond.
I love this side of Brad. It showcases his true talents. Awesome.✝️
I hope this catches steam and goes viral...important message.
You stole this from my heart Appalachia Untold 😢
Brad is at his best here. Just raw talent. Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you tube!
I declare this energy 💕 thank you ❤️
Is this a new jam?? Never heard it before
