@EL-em3mn I was referring to the first mention in the song at 0:41. And yeah, there are other songs about Virgina, of course, I’m just fond of the line.
As a 68 year old man who grew up listening to country with my dad. I just want to say THANK YOU. It's feels good listening to music that was written to touch the soul .
I can’t believe this guy has just been singing songs in the forest with his dog going unnoticed by the world for so long. Dude has a world class voice and sings with a lot of soul.
I grew up in Powhatan Virginia, and my mom always had a crowd over picking and making some amazing music when I was growing up!! My mom played /picked the hell on a 4 string banjo! I'd play mandolin and would sing she'll be coming around the mountains when she comes! 🎶 with the whoever would come over to jam with my mom! I know the slices of heaven that Virginia is. I feel like Oliver is my neighbor and like-minded friend! ❤️and I'm so proud of him. I know God will keep him humble and protected! 🙏❤ There is a whole lot of soil in country Virginia for sure! 😊
speaking from knowing the music industry..... they only want money. NONE OF THEM HAVE PURE INTENTIONS. I dont care how much they preach that theyre on our side or olivers. give him a contract and let him keep ALL THE PROCEEDS. Then youll know whos real
@jasonalzuto1794 nah he asked kindly, give it a listen, it's not bad at all. When you have a passion for something and a dream you want to be heard.

@@andymontgomery9330 Thank you! I am a writer and I tell you Mr. Anthony’s song and soul resonated deeply with me this morning and obviously many others.
Though being European this hits me hard. I know it were guys like this who liberated my parents in Holland. That healthy, courageous, inventive, righteous vein running through the USA, once being its main river. I'm grateful for people like that.
Thank you for commenting. Many of us in the USA feel this way but remain silent for fear of being conservative or racist. It's the lefts way of keeping us down.
@@mrh4900 Hey South Carolina, thanks for your great grand dad. Until the day they died in the 1990s, my parents and whole family have been grateful and adored Americans.

They would definitely have wanted to know everything about your great grand dad.
When I was a young girl, I visited my grandpa's hometown of Blackwater, Virginia. Virginia is always singing to me since that day. And y'all don't know the beauty of Virginia unless you've been in the Appalachian mountains.

Don’t ever get in the way of a country man with a dream. I was born in Kentucky and raised in Virginia. I’m a proud coal miner/baptist preacher’s daughter ❤❤
Oliver is a "classic car barn find" for some of us. There are truly gifted singers out there that haven't been found by the masses. Glad he was given the limelight he deserves.

@@johnlebzelter4208 EVER BEEN CALLED OUT ON FRAUD ? LISTEN TO TYLER CHILDERS Kentucky born artist on charts for years ... this guy Oliver Anthony should get called out ! Seems like I heard his entire song before with diffrent lyrics .....and it ain't him singing brother lol

So glad to hear Ole Virginny being sung about again ❤️ were a beautiful commonwealth captured by the damn feds. we’re down in the colonial farmland out by Hampton Roads ❤️
if you are honest you will look into how and why the modern conservative movement was created. For starters look up the Powell Memorandum, Origins of the Overclass, The Big Myth by Naomi Oreskes and Birchers. Instead you criticize the Left who is all about getting things done for average Americans and not the wealthy elite conservative overclass.
I believe his style is Appalachian , that being said it's all the same in our hearts . It's the sound of the struggle of everyday people , & from the soul . Something everyone can understand regardless of the music you prefer or the color of your skin or nationality . I pray to Jesus he doesn't take him home too soon like he did with Stevie ray .
@@davidwashburn5848 He has said before, that he can't take credit for that sound. Though, I also feel the Appalachian style to his music. I've listened to many of his songs. Appalachian, at least the Virginia Appalachian area, is not too far from him, but he is not from there. Obviously, the Appalachian area varies greatly because it goes much further North and South of Virginia. I hear the folky, Appalachian, and original type country....where it really all started in America, in his music for sure. Simple, from the heart, authentic, and a bit twangy. Not that 'Western' or honky tonk southwest sound. He's great. Hits the soul for sure!
Just as my friend says, today songs are about drugs, cash and (usually casual) sex. xD He IS a fan of rap and hip hop but it can be heard in the pop genre as well. It permeates the whole industry. Sadly an industry, long gone are the days when music was an art. You can take movie or game music as a work of art, but all the pop, rock and other genres are mass-produced garbage nowadays. Independent music is salvageable, but when someone's contracted to a production studio more often than not it's SHIT.
Remain yourself and don’t let them corrupt you brother. Your music is what most of us feel inside but can’t express it. Thanks for telling all our stories.
Dear Stranger , i love how you've made a impact with so many folks alike. I personally love this song the most. I am Proud 12th Generation Virginian and this track just feels good ! Much Love and Respect, Brother! Stay True and Always stay with the Light!
Oliver has got to have the most authentic writing, voice and emotion that I have seen in music in over a decade. I can't wait for the day that I'm able to see this man play in person, you're doin great bud.
This is what making culture looks like! And he did it on his own, without a record label creating work for him and boosting him on all the radio stations. God bless him! ❤🙏
I don't think he did it all on his own. People don't buy digital music anymore and he's number 1 one on iTunes. A common technique used for plants. Not to mention the overwhelming support for right wing media.
As good as rich men north of Richmond is, it’s not even his best. I’m so glad I have been introduced to this man’s music. When I say I like country music, this is what I mean
Damn, brother… you put me right back in the ozarks with this one. I was driving down a dirt road I haven’t seen in ten years with my father, who’s been gone for five years. The good LORD has blessed you with a rare talent. Thank you for sharing it. 🌸🌺III🌺🌸
“Preacher talk about heaven. Son, it sure sounds nice. At least I can tell em’ I had me a slice.” Dude has some of the best lyrics I’ve heard in decades.
Watched my daddy work, sweat and bleed for the man for 50 years now I’m 22 years deep. I played this and cried. My the Lord bless you all the days of your life!
I absolutely Love this man!! As a 47 year old Floridian, I identify with this Completely! My family came from West Virginia and this music brings out emotions I cannot explain.
His message is spot on! I grew up in northeastern rust belt Ohio and the few songs I've heard have hit me like a hard gut punch. I actually live in the DC metro area now but I'm a private sector schmuck, one of the few who has a job not tied to the federal govt in any way, shape, or form. For those who don't live here, let me tell you, it's not just the politicians who are clueless - it's also everyone in this area with a gov't job, either working for the feds or as contractors. They have no idea how the rest of the country works. Oliver Anthony's songs are just the start of the wake-up call that DC needs.
John Rich (of Big and Rich) has agreed to produce an album for Oliver. Jason Howerton has agreed to cover all costs. Benny Johnson said he'll produce all music videos. They emailed you, so get back with them!
I owe you a personal thank you for commenting this. I don't use Twitter and I have 1,300 unread emails in my inbox. I had no idea until I read your comment and searched his name on my Gmail. Just responded to him.

Stirring up the soul of this 71-year-old used to be folk singer. I was the coffee house variety in rural Arkansas. Keep it up my friend as you got it where it counts, in your soul.
Damn man, another Tyler Childers was born right before our eyes. Tremendous stuff my brother, keep plucking and telling life stories for us red blooded Americans that love your infectious vibe!
This guy is better, I hope and pray he doesn’t fall like Tyler Childers did posting gay lover videos and supporting leftist organizations. This guy actually seems like he experienced a lot I don’t think that will happen to Mr. Oliver.
The setting and filming of this video was brilliant! Love the sitting position taken for this and the placement of the chair in front of his car. The close up of the backroad tire and the dogs gives it all a feel of relaxing- down home -welcomeness & fits the words and voice to a 'T', This song and the setting earns five golden hearts :-)🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Much agreed, Oliver Anthony may be a young man, but only an old soul can make that kind of sound. I truly hope that an artist like this can bring back interest in the blues
Beautifully captures the ethos of rural VA. Reminds me of pulling tobacco with my brothers, Dad, and Papa. Made me tear up. Can never leave VA because she really will sing to you.
Couldn't agree more, after living my first 20 years on the Gulf Coast I moved to Lynchburg, VA and after living there 5 years and getting married we moved to beautiful city Palmyra/Charlottesville. 5 years there and 2 baby boys later, we decided to move back to the coast but.. we hear Virginia calling us back home. When I die, I want to be in Virginia.
Thanks for writing a song about our home - The Old Dominion!! Virginia has the best people and the most beautiful landscape! Never want to live anywhere else🤩

I believe his style is Appalachian , that being said it's all the same in our hearts . It's the sound of the struggle of everyday people , & from the soul . Something everyone can understand regardless of the music you prefer or the color of your skin or nationality . I pray to Jesus he doesn't take him home too soon like he did with Stevie ray .
I agree.
@@davidwashburn5848 He has said before, that he can't take credit for that sound. Though, I also feel the Appalachian style to his music. I've listened to many of his songs. Appalachian, at least the Virginia Appalachian area, is not too far from him, but he is not from there. Obviously, the Appalachian area varies greatly because it goes much further North and South of Virginia.
I hear the folky, Appalachian, and original type country....where it really all started in America, in his music for sure. Simple, from the heart, authentic, and a bit twangy. Not that 'Western' or honky tonk southwest sound.
He's great. Hits the soul for sure!
He’s so good. I hope he gets all he wants out of this.
I've already gotten what I wanted. To see Americans excited and united, not fighting and down. Anything beyond this is just icing on the cake.
@@oliveranthonymusic Hell yea dude keep at it.
@@oliveranthonymusic great music my guy! What a voice!
I could imagine this man’s voice echoing through a mountain valley on a dewey morning
We need a big gathering in Texas for you!! Keep America The Beautiful Red!
We need more pure clean heartfelt songs again… no violence, degradation, vulgarity or division… just good old school reminiscence.
Just as my friend says, today songs are about drugs, cash and (usually casual) sex. xD
He IS a fan of rap and hip hop but it can be heard in the pop genre as well. It permeates the whole industry. Sadly an industry, long gone are the days when music was an art. You can take movie or game music as a work of art, but all the pop, rock and other genres are mass-produced garbage nowadays. Independent music is salvageable, but when someone's contracted to a production studio more often than not it's SHIT.
❤❤❤
Love his voice and the message he has put to words!
Remain yourself and don’t let them corrupt you brother. Your music is what most of us feel inside but can’t express it. Thanks for telling all our stories.
Alot of us have been saying exactly the same stuff he said for years now
Like his yodeling!
Amen.
It’s awesome how he’s just sitting in a field with his dog recording! What a beautiful voice!
This guy right here is true American 🇺🇸 old soul, can’t wait to watch him influence all of us we needed him to show up! God bless you Brother!
Well said brother! God bless🇺🇲
Y’all need to protect him. Uncle Sam try to quiet folks like this when too many people start hearing facts
For certain and need to prevent youtube from cancelling him like they did to Scott Ritter Friday. @@TopShelfHockeyAcademyPtbo
Couldn’t have come at a better time we’re all calling out for a release
The future of country is all these guys coming up through different paths like TH-cam and tiktok and I'm here for it
Future of the country**
Lool I'm Canadian and boy oh boy, North america needs more of this attitude and soul.
This music is too good to be classified into today's modern country genre...and certainly way too good for mainstream
I think I can speak for all us Virginians when I say we are proud of you 👏 👏 👏
Just not the ones from the concrete dumps of Prince William, Fairfax, Arlington and Loudon counties.
@Kriegsbeil5577 …I’m from Arlington. And I agree
one million gajillion percent 😎😅
@@JeThoreau_ 😆😆
@@Kriegsbeil5577 😆😆
Dear Stranger , i love how you've made a impact with so many folks alike. I personally love this song the most. I am Proud 12th Generation Virginian and this track just feels good ! Much Love and Respect, Brother! Stay True and Always stay with the Light!
Oliver has got to have the most authentic writing, voice and emotion that I have seen in music in over a decade. I can't wait for the day that I'm able to see this man play in person, you're doin great bud.
Be careful. I once said that about Tyler.
Tyler Childers has entered the chat.
I’d say 2 decades. :)
The man gets respect from Rockingham County VA. Protect our boy at all costs
This is what making culture looks like! And he did it on his own, without a record label creating work for him and boosting him on all the radio stations. God bless him! ❤🙏
Very good
I don't think he did it all on his own. People don't buy digital music anymore and he's number 1 one on iTunes. A common technique used for plants. Not to mention the overwhelming support for right wing media.
@@mrs5189there’s no reason for them to push him he’s not putting out the shit they want anyways this is true music you know when you know
@@O5FS he is literally going to sign to the daily wire.
@@mrs5189 your the reason the world hates itself 😂
As good as rich men north of Richmond is, it’s not even his best. I’m so glad I have been introduced to this man’s music. When I say I like country music, this is what I mean
A Star is born. I hope Oliver stays true to his roots. We're witnessing this generation's Bob Dylan.
I feel you just made the statement of a generation! Oliver Anthony is a man of the people!
No one talking about that beauty of a vehicle behind him. Gambler 500 classic👌🏽
I had a black one made in 2006, ran her till the transmission would turn over anymore,
Damn, brother… you put me right back in the ozarks with this one. I was driving down a dirt road I haven’t seen in ten years with my father, who’s been gone for five years. The good LORD has blessed you with a rare talent. Thank you for sharing it. 🌸🌺III🌺🌸
Proud Virginian here for this song ,God bless sweet Virginia and god the south and you ❤
I'm witnessing the birth of a legend. And I love it. 🇺🇸
Pretty big baby 🤣✌️
~ 🦋
This young man has 7 songs on the iTunes Country Top 10👏👏👏
Cause its the only 7 real country songs.
He's got 10 songs on the iTunes top 30 ..... 7 days after uploading Rich men north of Richmond lol
“Preacher talk about heaven. Son, it sure sounds nice. At least I can tell em’ I had me a slice.” Dude has some of the best lyrics I’ve heard in decades.
I’ve listened to this on repeat for awhile and that is by far my favorite line.
Yep, driving through the Blue Ridge, central Virginia, this song is IT!
My piece of Virginia
You spoke for all true Virginians. Thank you so much.
the shitty part of virginia
No
@@HattieJoshoh you are just a self hating troll…I see. I’m sure I can click on 20 more comments where you are seething, malding, or crying. Grow up 🤡
Spoken perfectly. Song sang perfectly!!
@@HattieJoshyes
I’m gonna need an entire album of this please?!
Agreed!
Shoot. He probably has enough songs for 3 albums by now.
I really hope he puts an album together, id buy it in a heartbeat
Now this is country bluegrass music. Take note Nashville! Oliver gives me goosebumps he's so good!
Nashville produces garbage country music.
His voice really shines on this one. Getting Kings of Leon vibes.
No offense intended but Kings of Leon would never find the swamp where this comes from, much less be able to start to cross it.
Watched my daddy work, sweat and bleed for the man for 50 years now I’m 22 years deep. I played this and cried. My the Lord bless you all the days of your life!
😮 Wow! Oliver, please don't you ever change. We, the blue collar, country, working class people love your songs. God bless you brother.
Loving this song in the hood of Columbus Ohio!!
This one sounds like Hank Jr.
Welcome to bluegrass music
@@ktanner11 I grew up on it. My mother is from west Virginia
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness!" Thanks for speaking/singing truth to those in power.
Nice John the Baptist reference.
I love this guy❤❤❤ I’m from Chesapeake Virginia born and raised, still here!!! Va ❤ I ❤️ country music ❤❤
I absolutely Love this man!! As a 47 year old Floridian, I identify with this Completely! My family came from West Virginia and this music brings out emotions I cannot explain.
His music is very powerful- it's explained by coming from heart hence God.
His message is spot on! I grew up in northeastern rust belt Ohio and the few songs I've heard have hit me like a hard gut punch. I actually live in the DC metro area now but I'm a private sector schmuck, one of the few who has a job not tied to the federal govt in any way, shape, or form. For those who don't live here, let me tell you, it's not just the politicians who are clueless - it's also everyone in this area with a gov't job, either working for the feds or as contractors. They have no idea how the rest of the country works. Oliver Anthony's songs are just the start of the wake-up call that DC needs.
Any ties to the morris’ in kanawha county
Born and raised in California but it truly resonates with me and many others here as well. We’re not all crazy progressive nut jobs here.
41 year old here and west virginian born,raised,and currently living out the rest of my time! 😁
John Rich (of Big and Rich) has agreed to produce an album for Oliver. Jason Howerton has agreed to cover all costs. Benny Johnson said he'll produce all music videos. They emailed you, so get back with them!
I owe you a personal thank you for commenting this. I don't use Twitter and I have 1,300 unread emails in my inbox. I had no idea until I read your comment and searched his name on my Gmail. Just responded to him.
@@oliveranthonymusic good luck and god bless from the UK, I’ll be buying the album
@@oliveranthonymusic amazing. I’m truly excited to see what happens with you brother. Your music will impact THE WORLD in such a positive way.
It hit home for this patriotic Canadian facing the same enemy 👊🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦
@@oliveranthonymusic keep making music 🖤
Big fan from over the pond , just great
It doesn't matter what color I am doesn't matter where I'm from. All that matters is this man is touching people's lives and making a positive impact on humanity. Thank you brother
100%!!! It don’t matter. I don’t know you or you know me, but as long as you aren’t a rich man north of Richmond, I like ya.
Amen: from a Canadian sister you didn't know you had.
Very well said @pltrlong420
Living in California......listening to this hidden talent , your realize there is still Americans in the south
What lol
Proud to be Virginia born. Keep preaching, brother!
va is for lovers ♥️
Rockingham county here 💪🏼🇺🇸
God Bless you, Oliver Anthony.... This song describes the Elites and Globalists of America and the UK.
GOD BLESS YOU, BROTHER. From over here in Northern Ireland. UK 🙏✝️💙☘️🇬🇧🏴☝️👍.. Your ancestors are good Protestant Hill-Billy from Ulster ☘️-Scots 🏴 / Scots 🏴 / Irish ☘️ great Presbyterian stock. 🙏✝️
Die hard Texan but this man speaks for all of us!!!
Man as a virginian, this song hits hard when your driving down a backroad out in the countryside
You aren't lying. I live in Southside not far from him and the tabbaco road part is so very Virginia.
I tear up listening to it. Life-long Virginian.
Gotta mention LU-Ray, you know the caverns and such; up farther north that's how they pronounce it; always had me thinkin of Patsy Cline, this home-grown blues and rhythm that Sweet Virginia was born with
Virginia is a very old place, much more history than we can even imagine. If only she could talk
@@shawnclements14 -- Virginia talks ... deliberately and quietly - when people listen, with intent to hear!
He has such a powerful voice.
Hell as an ol Texas boy I totally approve of this young man's message's.. this man is pure GOLD.
Howdy, Texas.
@@toosense Howdy Friend !
Hey texas here too. What's up fam.
@@chadderbox1343 what's up pardner.👍
Great song and those tires on that car are pretty sweet too.
Another unique voice I'm here for it 🇺🇸
As a Staunch Texan I envy Virginian Pride love this music ✊🏿
I wish VA loved football as much as Texas does
I just moved away from Nashville because that place went to shit. This music is the breath of fresh air I needed to stay alive.
Thank you for this
Im not a huge country fan, but I can't wait to buy this guys first album.

Stirring up the soul of this 71-year-old used to be folk singer. I was the coffee house variety in rural Arkansas. Keep it up my friend as you got it where it counts, in your soul.
Jesus loves you
Love it!
Young man, you’re still that same folk singer and don’t ever forget it 💓
Im from Arkansas as well what amazes me is the amount of reach this song has to people whom I figure would never listen to the genre.
Fellow Virginian! God has blessed you with an Exceptional voice 😮 Godspeed on this new journey. Stay humble ❤️
This is pure gold. Your talent is worth 8 mill all day
You can tell his dogs love listening to him sing!
No... no you can't.
His voice is addictive. So genuine and raw! I hope Oliver goes far and makes more music that cuts us all to the bone.
Damn man, another Tyler Childers was born right before our eyes. Tremendous stuff my brother, keep plucking and telling life stories for us red blooded Americans that love your infectious vibe!
Oh you mean the guy who made miners look g@y AF
He's better
This guy is better, I hope and pray he doesn’t fall like Tyler Childers did posting gay lover videos and supporting leftist organizations. This guy actually seems like he experienced a lot I don’t think that will happen to Mr. Oliver.
Slow down. Childers has 40 songs on TH-cam, have not released that are incredible. Nothing against Oliver, he’s great, but come on.

The setting and filming of this video was brilliant! Love the sitting position taken for this and the placement of the chair in front of his car. The close up of the backroad tire and the dogs gives it all a feel of relaxing- down home -welcomeness & fits the words and voice to a 'T', This song and the setting earns five golden hearts :-)🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
That is recorded on a Samsung S21
I’m from Michigan, a country boy and this man touches my country roots. Sing on brother, sing on!!!
What a song! That blues sound and guitar picking are just amazing.
Much agreed, Oliver Anthony may be a young man, but only an old soul can make that kind of sound. I truly hope that an artist like this can bring back interest in the blues
Beautifully captures the ethos of rural VA. Reminds me of pulling tobacco with my brothers, Dad, and Papa. Made me tear up. Can never leave VA because she really will sing to you.
No it does not. I've lived and grew up in small town Virginia and it was *racist* as hell and poverty filled as hell
@@HattieJoshjust a bunch of depressed ass whiny white guys because the world is changing.
Couldn't agree more, after living my first 20 years on the Gulf Coast I moved to Lynchburg, VA and after living there 5 years and getting married we moved to beautiful city Palmyra/Charlottesville. 5 years there and 2 baby boys later, we decided to move back to the coast but.. we hear Virginia calling us back home. When I die, I want to be in Virginia.
@@HattieJosh more than likely you were the racist and projected your hate just like you are now…
@@HattieJoshI live in rural Virginia and it’s not racist, there are a few racist people anywhere you go.
Thanks for writing a song about our home - The Old Dominion!! Virginia has the best people and the most beautiful landscape! Never want to live anywhere else🤩
Sending love,honesty is a commitment to truth,even when it’s difficult or inconvenient,have you seen this gem live??
This is REAL MUSIC!!! Thank you for sharing brother! 🙏❤️😎🎶👏💯
@thekingfr A man who has written good songs doesn't need to be begging others to listen to him. If they are good, people will be knocking down your door, like are now doing for Oliver....
I cant get enough of this guy's voice. It is one of the best appalachian voices to happen in music for 50 years
his voice sucks
I pray to God he is able to stay independent and earns a bazillion dollars. His voice gives me goosebumps.
So over 3 weeks we have had masterpiece after masterpiece. Fellow Virginia brother I feel this to the bone.
