Christopher Anthony Lunsford, who performs under the name of Oliver Anthony, lives close to a very small rural town in the middle of Virginia called Farmville. That's about 2 hours south of where I live in Virginia. It's nice to see someone being so honest about the sad world we live in. I hope he can continue to not let the fame go to his head.
Glad to see y'all! Been missing our family. I like his music because I know where he's coming from. Nadine hit it right on the nail about thinking you're the crazy one when other people discredit or just dismiss what you're trying to warn them about. It does make you feel helpless and ready to give up. But as long as we're in this world we have to keep pushing forward one day at a time, don't we? There's a song i know that says, "God will make a way when there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see. He will make a way for me. He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side. With strength and love for each new day, He will make a way. He will make a way." God bless you, NZ family. All of you subscribers here as well. ❤
His song "ive got to get sober" hits so many right in the heart. Alcoholism is real and he pegs it with that one. so glad to see you safe at home Sam/ Nadine. I love you guys. be safe.
The wealth gap in the U.S. has us working class folks struggling hard core. Living paycheck to paycheck is no joke. Life isn’t meant to be lived like this. Our government has failed us. Both parties have been in control and look where we are. They’ve been compromised by the 1%. Bought and paid for. ✌🏼
They haven't been compromised by the 1% they've been compromised by the dollar. Stop paying the government people, and let them get a paycheck like us, see how quick shit changes.
Yep always blame those who have more than you, with the majority of them working their asses off for said "more than you"... spoken like a real socialist idiot... Wahhh I can't be as good as the next man, so I'll blame them for why I work a sh*t paying job and have to live paycheck to paycheck... How about you should of taken the steps to become something more, to learn something more- as in a special trade etc... no no, cry because you work a bs job, because you're a bs worker with no real workforce skill... See I didn't take the correct steps in life and I work bs jobs. But one thing I don't do, is blame the wealthy workers/business men that worked their asses off to get to where they are or do so now... See I have a buddy who's family is rich. They own businesses and it all started from their grandfather, their dad worked hard and eventually took over and now my buddy's dad is making my buddy go to College and put in work to eventually take over the businesses.. so you'd hate him too, just because his family cared enough to set up family down the road... The grandpa had nothing, started a small water sports shop and turned it into something far more... just because you don't know people's story, they aren't bad for being "handed" businesses/money... they aren't holding you back, they aren't worried about you! If you worked your ass off all your life, completed your goal and had a company,family etc. You too would be doing exactly what these "wealthy devils" are doing... Now there are some bad ultra rich people, who use that money to influence things etc. But thats much much smaller than you make it out to be.. you just want someone else to blame for your own life and choices you made... its easier today to become rich than ever before.. yet here you are. Stop complaining and keep pushing forward. If not, shut up and stop crying and blaming others..
Yeah, this is why George Washington was completely against a 2 party system when establishing the government. He realized that they'd be too busy fighting each other to actually RUN the country, but he was sadly over-ruled 😓
Appalachia is from northern Georgia all the way to Maine...but when people reference Appalachian mountains it's usually West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia...because of the Irish/Scottish influence in the mountains and hollers where they were forgotten for hundreds of years. Not backward, just self-reliant. People today are returning to a holistic lifestyle that some Appalachian people embraced up until today.
What I love about him is he's real. He sings about being broke and taken down by the rich man then turns down multi-million dollar contracts from them.
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689are you high? Springsteen is a hard core liberal who has talked crap about conservatives for decades. Now I’m not a conservative, but let’s call a spade a spade
Ok reaction videos watch the whole video and then go back and then make comments stop stopping video so annoying lol just trying to help you out Keep doing good videos!
I think he reminds most Americans who really are paying attention to what is going on that we aren't crazy. We do see what we see and we don't understand what others don't see, or get, or understand where it is leading us. Our nation as we knew it will be gone if we don't make the changes necessary to sustain Her. America really is a great place, filled with great people. Most of us, like Oliver's song, are on our knees daily and praying for the Lord to intercede for our nation. Glad you are safely home.
I believe he lives in Southern Virginia just a few hours from where I live in Virginia so it was pretty cool to hear he came from the state where I grew up
What I like about Oliver Anthony, which isn't his name but his grandfather's/kind of, is he speaks for the average person. His lyrics can unite multiple people together, which, is something our country really/desperately needs. You see who we have in office and it is not building back better right now. I would like you to react to DAX "dear alcohol" and/or "to be a man"!
Just a little history on the word "Appalachia", it's a Cherokee Indian word. In the Cherokee language there are no long "a" sounds. Therefore, the word is pronounced "Appa-latcha", all short "a" sounds.
Thank you for sharing it's good and inspiring. The Cherokee nation has a rich and proud history. They survived Andrew Jackson and his shameful and dark historical trail of tears. God bless the Cherokee people.
No, he wants to leave the world and go home to the Lord. He has said as much in a live interview of him. This New Zealand couple have it correct: "Oliver Anthony is praying for God to take him to Heaven". Prayers for him. 🙏🙏 Sadly, a lot of people are despondent, living life, struggling, like Oliver, in America, a lot of homeless. It's not all Disneyland and fun and giggles; there is a lot of heartache in the US. :( Oliver said: "I wrote the songs that I wrote because I was suffering from mental health and depression."
He is from Virginia, my home state. After watching your video about your dark days of struggling to just be a family on your own two feet, I know you understand the quiet desperation Oliver sings about. Frankly, his songs make me a bit misty as I feel his anguish through the lens of my own struggles.
I have severe PTSD and I’ve tried to go “home,” but my faith and police saved me from myself. Oliver Anthony sings songs that speak for so many of us Americans.
Just a comment from here in snowy Minnesota! On Oliver's Channel he has some promising news! I think in this coming February, Oliver and friends begin their tour. He has dates and places listed as firm all across the U.S. and even over to the U.K.! A few months ago he says he was in the planning stages at the moment; but he's hired a talent agency to help sort out all the necessary details that are involved like tickets; insurances; places he and his fellow members will sleep, and so much more. He also says he's been writing new music for his upcoming tour! In the meantime Oliver and his wife welcomed the addition of a new baby boy to their family of two little ones! "I've Gotta Get Sober" Oliver says was a kind of break-through song that preempted him to fall on his knees asking God Almighty for help! He says at this time he knew what his mission in life was supposed to be: to make music to inspire the least of us! THANK YOU!
That first song is summed up by the title of the old poem, "You can't go Home again". The past is past and the world has become something unrecognizable, and you cannot get back to more innocent times.
I was told from my local news station here in Richmond, Virginia that Oliver Anthony is from Farmsville, Virginia. Just wanted to answer your question Nadine.
This really is typical Appalachian Mountain Blues, which is sometimes listed under working man blues. Down home folk just telling the truth. Oliver Anthony has just found a place in TH-cam that has hit the hearts of so many now days. Be it about the men in Washington D,C,, state of the nation economics or morals, or the last one that no he is not rich in money but rice in what matters. There is a very large list of Blues that can talk to your soul, Mississippi, Working man, Mountain, even Country Blues, just about everything that gets that Blues tag will talk about the life of the one singing.
I am from the Appalachia Blue Ridge mountains. I built my own cabin, grow my own garden and fish. Back in these hills and hollers it is peaceful . I think if people would come together we could change this country if people would quit listening to politicians and rich corporations. We could change this world. I think the hardest working people in the U.S. is smarter than politicians. The government could fix the homeless problem and all this countries problems if they would quit making their bank accounts bigger.
I can’t find it now but in one of your videos you mentioned wanting to visit Bucees. Next time you are in USA, the LARGEST Bucees in America opened in Sevier County, Tennessee in 2023. It’s in the same town as America’s most visited National Park “Great Smoky Mountain National Park” AND the same town as Dollywood, Dolly Parton’s theme park. You HAVE to come and visit Dollywood, the Worlds largest Bucees, and the Smoky Mtns ❤
Oliver Anthony is definitely the fastest rising star who doesn't want any money from the mainstream music media I love that you guys have been watching his videos, he is an inspiration to all Americans who consider this country great
I think you guys would enjoy studying the history of "The Blues" (A style of Music) in the US. It started in the late 1800's and is an interesting subject. I believe their are other styles like Country music that branch off of Blues Music. I remember being in music class in Grade school being taught about Blues. We had to learn a Blues song that started with "I woke up this morning with an awful aching head", which is repeated three times, then the reason is given. A typical lyric style.
i came from nothing, clawed my way towards everything i have in life served in the army am severely physically and mentally disabled now the mental and physical pain i live with now is unrelenting when i here i wanna go home i relate so much!!!! this world has fallen so far and i feel like job on some days i relate to this song so much it makes me ugly cry!
I really like this guy and where he's coming from. I don't know if you guys have ever reacted to Home Free, but they are definitely a group should check out. They are an acapella country band. And they are fantastic. Songs to check out, in my not so humble opinion ;-) are: Man of Constant Sorrow, How Great Thou Art, Elvira, with the Oak Ridge Boys, who did the song 40 years ago and hit big with it) When a Man Loves a Woman and just about anything that strikes your fancy. They don't do "bad," or even mediocre. They are just a bunch of 5 top class vocalists who put it all out there and have a great time doing it.
I've been watching you guys on TikTok here in Memphis tn. I didn't realize you have TH-cam. makes it so much easier to watch. I really enjoy your content and I think you guys have a beautiful family/ aura about you.
he lives about 40 miles from me, he really put our state on the map with his music. ya'll should come here, it's one state that you can go hiking in mountains one day and go to the beach another visit the site's and museums in DC and Arlington or king's dominion or bush gardens and ride roller-coasters there's a lot to see. its laid back area's and city life all in one state with a lot of history
I believe this song, I wanna go home can be interpreted as he wants to go home to heaven but also I believe it refers to the idea that he doesn’t recognize this world anymore because of the lack of community and morals. He referenced on how young children are being taking advantage of and how it’s being normalized to a degree. Again a wonderful reaction to his songs.
"I wanna go home" is definitely my favorite he's done yet. I do kinda think it could use a third verse. Glad to see my New Zealand family enjoying the kind of music I grew up with. Many nights spent picking and trying my best to keep up with Grandad and my uncles. Grandma was pretty impressive with a harmonica too.
"Ain't gotta dollar, but don't need a dime" (He's broke, but he has everything he needs) I'm from Tennessee and we say this saying quite often. Ya ask somebody if they need a little cash to get them to payday and I bet they say "naw, I don't need a dime, I'm good" As for the first song, I been feeling like that since 2016 when our country started going "to heck in a hand basket". It got a 4yr roll down hill from 2016-2020 now we're dealing with the repercussions. 💖🧡💛💚💙💜
Funny, because that time period was better than the eight before, the eight before that, and at least the time before that.... and it's a hell of a lot better than the last four years.
Obviously living in a different country than the rest of the U.S. these last 4 yrs are a direct result of the stupidity we have running this country right now.
Huh, last I checked, the country wasn't having its highest inflation during that time period. Gas and goods were more affordable, now, thanks to buckin fiden, gas is hard to afford. Must be nice to be able to afford $5 gas while laughing at the rest of us. Trump 2024
The Appalachian trail begins in Maine and ends in Georgia. The name depends on what part of the country one is in. I’m in western NC right night to TN we are also a part of the Appalachian trail which is magnificent.
Check out a liter note my 90 some Chevy or rich man’s gold his song rich man north of Richmond was recorded with the help of radio station West Virginia he lives in FarmVille Va. thanks
Might have missed that muscadines are wild grapes that grow all over Virginia and mixed with yeast, makes wine. The subtitles said "fine", but the AI was wrong.
Good analytics. I guess it happens globally to some degree or another, but in the end he sings from personal perception of the world around him. He's from Appalachia, which is what we would call folks from the Appalachian mountains, mainly PA, VA, WVA, TN and maybe northern Alabama. As the spine of the Appalachians flows from NY all the way to the south I guess many regions combine to be called Appalachians. It's a different life, but a good, honest life. Wish ya'll had more rime in the states to really explore the vastness and variety here. It can appear to be chaos, at least as the media portrays it, but for the most part, it's actually a cohesive multicultural dance. Look forward to the next one guys, thanks for keeping the content coming, it's refreshing to see your perspective on us, both as a people as well as a nation.
This guy is very good, I could listen to him all day, another down home singer you should listen to is Brad James, he can be very funny and also very deep and serious, he's a truck driver here in the US.
Oliver Anthony speaks more to what is really happening in every American community and it's more truthful than any musician, mainstream media or politician will speak of.
What strict capitalism has done to the U.S. common citizens. That's one of the reasons seeing your family sharing so much and enjoying each other is so heartwarming to U.S. Americans. Your family is a beacon of light.

Muscadine grapes grow wild in the mountains of Appalachia. Triple the size of regular grapes. They make wonderful wine!!
He lives In Virginia which is the same state where Richmond is .
I believe this song, I wanna go home can be interpreted as he wants to go home to heaven but also I believe it refers to the idea that he doesn’t recognize this world anymore because of the lack of community and morals. He referenced on how young children are being taking advantage of and how it’s being normalized to a degree. Again a wonderful reaction to his songs.
Going home is about going back to when times were good and he didn't wake up every day feeling the way he does now.
Love this guy's music!
Great choice of song to react to
Miss the day's driving 130 mph on the back roads. Never will get too do that again . Straight roads in IN, NM, TX.
"I wanna go home" is definitely my favorite he's done yet. I do kinda think it could use a third verse. Glad to see my New Zealand family enjoying the kind of music I grew up with. Many nights spent picking and trying my best to keep up with Grandad and my uncles. Grandma was pretty impressive with a harmonica too.
You two are so fun to watch, big Hi from Indiana!
The guitar is called a resonator or a dobro its used a lot in blues music
"Ain't gotta dollar, but don't need a dime"
(He's broke, but he has everything he needs) I'm from Tennessee and we say this saying quite often. Ya ask somebody if they need a little cash to get them to payday and I bet they say "naw, I don't need a dime, I'm good"
As for the first song, I been feeling like that since 2016 when our country started going "to heck in a hand basket". It got a 4yr roll down hill from 2016-2020 now we're dealing with the repercussions.

Funny, because that time period was better than the eight before, the eight before that, and at least the time before that.... and it's a hell of a lot better than the last four years.
Obviously living in a different country than the rest of the U.S. these last 4 yrs are a direct result of the stupidity we have running this country right now.
Huh, last I checked, the country wasn't having its highest inflation during that time period. Gas and goods were more affordable, now, thanks to buckin fiden, gas is hard to afford. Must be nice to be able to afford $5 gas while laughing at the rest of us. Trump 2024
@@USFirst1776 Uh, maybe in your own mind, but not in reality. You shouldn't ignore the facts due to a political bias.
The Appalachian trail begins in Maine and ends in Georgia. The name depends on what part of the country one is in. I’m in western NC right night to TN we are also a part of the Appalachian trail which is magnificent.
As a native Appalachian, he says a lot we all feel.
I recommend country music, tons of songs with messages just like Oliver Anthony and amazing voices and southern accents. 😊
Great American musician and I love seeing the Ranger jersey out in NZ. We'll miss ya until you come back to us NZF.
Love yalls reaction. Hello from Arkansas.
Another Great Video I've watched every video and live and 👍 them all cant wait for the next and the next Atlanta's Kitchen
Jelly roll (save me ) is like this were it hits ya with the voice
Love you guys. I'm happy I found your channel!
He lives in Farmville Va. Just down the road from me!
Check out a liter note my 90 some Chevy or rich man’s gold his song rich man north of Richmond was recorded with the help of radio station West Virginia he lives in FarmVille Va. thanks
Waffles are just pancakes with abs
Might have missed that muscadines are wild grapes that grow all over Virginia and mixed with yeast, makes wine. The subtitles said "fine", but the AI was wrong.
Good analytics. I guess it happens globally to some degree or another, but in the end he sings from personal perception of the world around him. He's from Appalachia, which is what we would call folks from the Appalachian mountains, mainly PA, VA, WVA, TN and maybe northern Alabama. As the spine of the Appalachians flows from NY all the way to the south I guess many regions combine to be called Appalachians. It's a different life, but a good, honest life.
Wish ya'll had more rime in the states to really explore the vastness and variety here. It can appear to be chaos, at least as the media portrays it, but for the most part, it's actually a cohesive multicultural dance. Look forward to the next one guys, thanks for keeping the content coming, it's refreshing to see your perspective on us, both as a people as well as a nation.
They run from Maine to Georgia. I’m an Appalachian from Eastern Kentucky.
Joe clark “ it is what it is” and “Dont give up on me” yall gotta hear this guy!
This guy is very good, I could listen to him all day, another down home singer you should listen to is Brad James, he can be very funny and also very deep and serious, he's a truck driver here in the US.
You need to listen to Paul Harvey, "IF I WAS THE DEVIL " from like 1965. You will not believe it.
I’ve been home once since my life here. I’m ready to go home.
Maybe you could listen to Home Free,so talented!
Band: Derrick Dove and the peace makers
Song: When did I get old.
Incredible lyrics.
Side note. Love that Rangers jersey. 👌🏻
Adds a little when you realize he's already in "almost heaven" where John Denver wanted wanted to go home.
He is from FarmVille in Virginia.
so coming from the states. Virginia is a hidden gem
I've got to get sober is his best song it touches your sole
He is just so chill and wholsome. You should definitely check out 90some chevy! Great song about loving his girl like he loves his old reliable truck.
You should watch Lee Greenwood God Bless the U S A with the air force band.
Oliver Anthony speaks more to what is really happening in every American community and it's more truthful than any musician, mainstream media or politician will speak of.
What strict capitalism has done to the U.S. common citizens. That's one of the reasons seeing your family sharing so much and enjoying each other is so heartwarming to U.S. Americans. Your family is a beacon of light.
“90 Some Chevy” is my favorite! It’s more of a love song, and if a man loves his woman like he loves his truck, then that’s all you need to know! LOL!
Yes! You get it! Christians struggle in this wicked and twisted world daily. I wanna go home! Ive been saying the same thing for years. Maranatha!
He played at the Grand Ole Opry last week.
