You chosen a heck of a song as your first country music reaction. This song is like an anthem to us country folks. You'd be hard pressed to find someone outside of the urban US who doesn't know this song in America.
Thank you for reviewing this video, yes basically he is saying, "We say Grace, and we say Ma'am, and if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn" that you can live your life the way you want to, and we can live ours, does not mean we are stupid, or anything, just our expertise is not in the market, or books, but more of the basic instinctual survival skills, that I think a lot of people really need to learn, true hunting and fishing to name just two. And, he does not say where the 43 dollars came into play if the guy killed had it, or the store that was robbed had it, just a small amount of money is the cause of the robbery that caused his friend to perish. Anyway, again, thank you for watching, I truly hope that you enjoyed it, and will dive more into country music, like the other songs noted on Patreon. Cheers!
I guess that might have been about the money in the cash drawer. This song came out in 1988, so nearly everything is about 2 to 3 times more expensive 35 years later.
Grew up rural. Moved to the city at 20, lived there for ten years. The last 15 years I've been moving further and further north, away from that city. The last couple years have made me never want to go back.
somewhat similar here, split on being raised, the first decade was out in the country and then moved to the city after the blizzard of 1978, been in the city ever since. got used to the noisy neighbors, never could get used to the nosy ones though, still in the same spot for over 40 yrs.
Withouth realizing it ,you have put your toe into American Country Music and stepped into the deep end . This song has become a standard of millions of Americans from all regions .
"You can't starve us out And you can't make us run Cuz we're them old boys raised on shotguns" The $43 is what his friend had on him in cash. He was robbed (and killed) for it.
You get it, we country folk grew up doing things ourselves. not depending on nobody else. God, country and family everything else is icing on the cake.
he is making a point. people who were raised in the rural parts of the country are self sufficient and sotn really care what anyone who disagree with them has to say.
This song is about the self sufficiency of rural people. They aren't reliant upon grocery stores and can eat during times when those in cities will panic. They hunt, they fish and they grow crops. Most even know what plants they can and can't eat in the wilderness. I'm a country boy from Florida for instance and I know how to survive in my environment. I can eat gators, snakes, turtles, possums, coons, rabbits and squirrels along with any fish as well as swamp cabbage and other plants if I need to. I can use a gun or bow or traps or a spear and I can improvise when needed. That's what this song is about.
Country music is often described as three chords and the truth... enjoy this rabbit hole... there is a lot to take in....and a whole lot of musical talent to enjoy.
2:25 you’ll notice the name of the barge he’s on is Miss Audrey. That’s was his mother’s first name. His father, Hank Sr called her Miss Audrey instead of just Audrey.
Hank jr is the man his dad was a legend hank jr is very talentd csn play many instrument's he fell down the side of ajax mountain in montana almost losing his life thsts why he always wears glasses and beard due to scars
Country music has some of the best melodic guitar riffs you'll find anywhere. The sound focuses on melody, timing, and expression. Basically country and blues need you to bring it from deep in the GUT. You can be as fancy as you want but Country and Blues follow the rule, if you can't feel it, you can't be it. Jonny Cash is no joke either.
I really enjoyed your reaction, if you wish to continue this journey try the Highwayman by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris kristrofessen,and Willie Nelson. I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton. Or Seven Spanish Angels by Willie Nelson and Ray Charles. There is also Gods Country by Blake Shelton. These are some good story telling songs. Country Artists also tell good comedy songs too.
The best thing about any good country music is that it tells a story that most people have gone through in some aspect of their lives. I'm a country boy, can confirm, I'll be ok no matter what, I'm a certified mechanic, welder, carpenter. I have two pantries full of jarred vegetables I grew myself, two freezers full of deer, pork and fish and a generator that can hold me over for a month off the grid in case of hurricanes or floods. And plenty of guns and ammo to get more food or protect what I have. If I can't build it, fix it, grow it, catch it or kill it, I can do without it.
Some of the best is Big John by Jimmy Dean, 16 Ton by Tennessee Ernie Ford, Kiss a Angel Good morning by Charlie Pride or Folsom Prison Blues, A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash. Also 7 Spanish Angels by Willie Nelson and Ray Charles. There is a song covered by several artists, Kawaguchi done by Hank Williams Sr. And Charlie Pride both put their spin on it and do a great job of it. These are the ol timers of country music, love them all.
You will find that a lot - possibly even a majority - of country songs sound like stories put to music. You will also find the lyrics in general easier to understand than in a lot of rock songs. In country music tradition, the lyrics and message are as important as the music. There is an old saying: to play country music you only need "three chords and the truth".
Some of my favourite country songs are 'Sing Me Back Home' by Merle Haggard, 'Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain' by Willie Nelson, and 'I Sang Dixie' by Dwight Yoakam. I hope you will consider them.
Country folks are worldwide. It's a way of life not a geographic location. It's more about living with what you have not with what you want, doing what you can for yourself and family and friends who in turn help you with what they are good at until you can all do whatever it takes to get by.
Check out some Chris Stapleton, "Midnight Train to Memphis", "I was Wrong" (Live), "Drunkards Prayer", "Death Row". Check out some Jonny Cash as well, and Black Crowes, "She Talks to Angels".
I know you will love country music because most of the songs aren't really about being country, they are about being human and they cover so many emotions that all of us have. Please do more country music. You won't be disappointed!
My two favs. are Hank Jr. and Waylon Jennings. I'd recommend "Family Tradition," and "Feeling Better" by Hank Jr. and "I've Always Been Crazy" and "Amanda" by Waylon. Also you might enjoy the film: "Living Proof: The Hank Williams Jr. Story" which is notable for being an entire biography that ends when its subject's life is just really beginning. Great film and Great Story. I found it very empowering as well!
Most country music will tell you a story. It will make you laugh, Johnny Cash, One Piece at a Time, cry, George Jones, He Stopped Loving Her Today, or just tell you a story, Johnny Horton, Sink the Bismarck, which is British history
I think some of my favorite country ones are: The Walk by Sawyer Brown, Grandpa by the Judds, He walked on Water by Randy Travis. They tell stories. I can give you way more if needed.
at this time in the 80s, a lot of rural farmers lost their lands as small town america moved from agricultural to industrial, so being "country" was kinda looked down on as more kids left the farm life for college and a white collar profession, so Hank being Hank, let 'em know just how it is.
I've told my daughter that I may not know much about computers but when that shit crashes I know how to hunt and fish because if my dad and uncles so ill be ok. Lmao
Everywhere by Tim McGraw is one of my favorites. Coat of many colors by Dolly Parton. I believe by Brooks & Dunn, father, my son, and the Holy Ghost life is great.
First you were a joy to watch . You said you felt something when you listend and felt empowered So I will tell you country is not a place but a state of mind . Also lots of Indian people who are county all over the U.S. nice work i'l be back
ya had me at anthem! always thought of this song in that exact way. great way to introduce yourself to the genre......... if your gonna do country Bocephus was the right place to start. Cheers
Not sure if you're a gamer, but if you're familiar with game "The Last of Us," Hank Jr.'s father was the artist that was singing those two songs in that scene where Joel and Ellie were driving the truck after leaving Bill's.
You chosen a heck of a song as your first country music reaction.

Dang right, son!
A true classic that anyone curious about country music should listen to, is I’m So Lonesome I could Cry by his father, Hank Williams.
And Deep Scars by Hank3.
"He sounds like he's trying to make a point"....you reckon? lolol

@freedomfest2741 Well, that means that you would likely have to quadruple prices then.

It was an anthem in the South.I was raised in the Tennessee mountains
Approved, confirmed and lived. Thank ye Miss.
Withouth realizing it ,you have put your toe into American Country Music and stepped into the deep end . This song has become a standard of millions of Americans from all regions .
Most country songs tell a story. The really good ones anyway. 🙂
Yes, you chose a great one. It's all about SELF RELIANCE.
I met Hank Williams Jr. in 2018 before a concert- Hank Jr. is a great singer and musician.
It truly IS an anthem!
"You can't starve us out
And you can't make us run
Cuz we're them old boys raised on shotguns"
The $43 is what his friend had on him in cash. He was robbed (and killed) for it.
Growing up in Alabama this is a staple song . Bocephus sings songs that truly speak for us in the south and other rural places in the country.
I love Ol Hank's "There's a Tear in my Beer"
The duet between father and son.
Saw him sing this live at the Concord Pavillion in Nothern California back in the 80's.
Proud country boy from the northeast Tennessee mountains born raised and I'm raising my two boys same way hard work morals hunting fishing manners
You have the best screen I’ve seen. Love Hank Williams Jr

Hank Williams SR. Is the one you want!
Hank Williams senior if you want to cry

It came out in 1981, it has been an anthem for a long time.
This song expresses rural values. Especially self sufficiency.
Bocephus!!
Country, and folk music are the best at telling stories. I love lyrics. I like either a good story, or beautiful poetry.
It was a story. A true story
Hank Jr was THE MAN in country music back in the 80s! If it has strings he can play it! My favorite country music artist!
Beautiful reaction
His friend called him Hillbilly - He was using the work Hillbilly as a term of endearment

Thank you for your appreciation, young lady! Much love from Florida, USA
I found your Channel looking for Hank Williams JR reactions!
"Country State of Mind" is another good one by Hank Jr.

Welcome to country music. It is all about life.
That's my boy Bocephus right there
Country music tells great stories, look up toby keith!! Courtesy of the red white and blue !!! Its a great song!
Great reaction beautiful lady
That's what country music is storytelling! I'm from Alabama! And damn proud of it!
So much country music is story telling.
You have a good open mind.
Yeah I literally thought for years, and years, and years that the fill was performed on a sitar.
Check out some Chris Stapleton, "Midnight Train to Memphis", "I was Wrong" (Live), "Drunkards Prayer", "Death Row".
Check out some Jonny Cash as well, and Black Crowes, "She Talks to Angels".
You should check out his son and the grandson of his legendary daddy;
Hank Williams III
wow I didn't even realise his son was a country singer too! What a family!
Hank Jr's grandson Sam Williams is worth checking out too.
I know you will love country music because most of the songs aren't really about being country, they are about being human and they cover so many emotions that all of us have. Please do more country music. You won't be disappointed!
all counbtry sond have a story in them because most are of scote irish descent and they are the ultimate story tellers

A good introduction to true country. You picked well for your first song
"We say grace, we say mame if you ain't into that we don't give a damn."
I'd suggest "Three Shades of Black" by Hank III. Yes, Hank III is Hank Jr's son.
I Believe, Brooks and Dunn
Tennessee whiskey Chris Stapleton and Amanda, Sometimes I cry I was wrong
Elvis Presley did alot of good country songs. I like his song KENTUCKY RAIN AND GOOD TIME CHARLIES GOT THE BLUES.👍🏻🎶🎶🎶
Another 'America will survive' type song that came from 9/11 was by Toby Keith - Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Check out “Redneck Woman” by Gretchen Wilson for a fun country song, Hank even makes a cameo appearance in the music video.
Gretchen Wilson is garbage. Pandering nonsense. No substance to the music.
Try "Born to Boogie". That is one that very upbeat by Hank Jr.
Please react to Hank Williams JR song Family Tradition.
I've told my daughter that I may not know much about computers but when that shit crashes I know how to hunt and fish because if my dad and uncles so ill be ok. Lmao
About Any country Song you listen too will have Story Telling in it... give it a chance... think you'll like listening to more:)
Yea', country boys like to mess with you''''
I'm on 42 acres with a 3 acre bass lake lol Ill survive
Everywhere by Tim McGraw is one of my favorites. Coat of many colors by Dolly Parton. I believe by Brooks & Dunn, father, my son, and the Holy Ghost life is great.
You talk so lovely. I just like to listen to you.
Welcome to our world
He is making a point that country folks live off the land, city folks can't, you can't hunt,fish,and garden on concrete.
First you were a joy to watch . You said you felt something when you listend and felt empowered So I will tell
you country is not a place but a state of mind . Also lots of Indian people who are county all over the U.S.
nice work i'l be back
He was killed over 43 dollars basically he was killed for the price of two large 3 topping pizzas.
Terrible!!
Your a Dominoes delivery driver aren't you?
And a round from a .45 handgun costs 35 cents. Kill the little thife. Thief had a choice. He fucked around and found out.
@@brucewayne2558ROFLMAO, brutal, just brutal.😅
She probably read that and thought “damn Americans using food as a unit of measurement”
ya had me at anthem! always thought of this song in that exact way. great way to introduce yourself to the genre.........
if your gonna do country Bocephus was the right place to start. Cheers
Country has some of the best guitar. It's second to only good metal bands.
Beautiful Belt Buckle. The Southern Cross. The X Symbol is The Cross of Saint Andrew who was Crucified on a X Cross.
I'm a sucker for a woman with a British accent 😍
Yes, Bubba's right... Reba's "Fancy" is one of the greatest! Then, for me, there's Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley PTA"
"Gentle On My Mind" by Glen Campbell. I think you'll love it.
Try anything by Chris Stapleton, one of the best voices in music today. Especially country
