Yessirs! Absolutely! Beautiful reaction video! Chris was great with the Steeldrivers! Excellent!

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Thanks!

[@jerricocke987]

Wonderful wonderful song wonderful wonderful reaction great job guys.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Thank you.

[@chrisgough8372]

A big thing this song highlights is how many GREAT musicians/singers there are out there that never make it. I used to live in Nashville and you could go to any bar/restaurant Tuesday at 5:00 and hear a performance that would blow you away. Stapleton obviously made it, but what happened to the rest? Great musicianship in this song by all of them.

I have friends in Nashville that say the same things about the local music scene. - Keith

[@pamjender5179]

What a fantabulous review guys! Love the peace this song gives to mind and soul. Takes me back. Dustin I’m from the Cumberland area of Ky. Beautiful country

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Takes me back too. - Keith

[@WendyJoJohnston]

That guitar is called a resonator. Played either held in the regular guitar position or with the guitar face up, played with a slide, that's dobro. I have a bottle for a bribe to watch you listen to my favorite dobro player. I've been hunting Sitka Blacktail with my ex on the blue side of the mountain. From a skiff, in Alaska. I know of which you speak.

[@TexasMagnolia]

So enjoyed! I’ve not heard this song.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We loved it. - Keith

[@lisawilham-pepper]

Grandma used to say some of our family lived so deep in the holler we had to ship sunshine into them. I was born in South Central Kentucky but my family is pretty much spread all over the Eastern part of the state.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Yeah, the house where I grew up saw sunshine about four hours a day. - Keith

Used to work for a printing company (Our Press, Chenango Bridge,NY) . We printed the programs for the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival [Oak Hill, NY, Greene Co., ~ an hr south of Albany. Btw, my college[SUNY ESF] roommate, Bob W., was from this very town. :O ;) ]. Checked out their website, which had samples of the artists at the festival.Then checked out the ones I liked on KZbin. This video was THE ONE. That's where I first encountered this ,The Steeldrivers, &^ Chris Stapleton. (2008?) Was blown away. Been lovin' this/them ever since. :) "Those places.......?......ARE DIFFERENT!" ...Yep. That's .....HOME! :) {Some years, the snow doesn't melt til the middle of June. ;) }

[@greeneyelove2003]

Another great reaction. Not sure if anyone has suggested Collin Ray songs but he's another great singer. The top two that come to mind are "If You Get There Before I Do" and "I Think About You".

[@tfkrockhard]

Don’t forget Little Rock and Little Red Rodeo

[@greeneyelove2003]

@@tfkrockhard Little Rock! I couldn't remember the name of that one. But yes, that is a great song.

I love the brotherly banter and free front porch jam session in the beginning 😂 just great!! Then followed by an amazing song…. What more could we ask for lol. Y’all would love Chris and his wife doing the song “Amanda”. They are the perfect duet and couple!

[@CodyCloudWalker]

Amanda, written by the " Country Gentleman" Don Williams.

[@sabbyvk424]

@@CodyCloudWalker I enjoy his version of the song also. Don Williams is a wonderful OG artist. I’ve never heard a song of his that I didn’t like

[@sharipetkovsek5502]

I'm one of those people that goes to the woods to reset. Pretty sure my dad was one of those guys and the hunting season story goes like this. I have four brothers and my dad's friend Ernie had two sons so hunting party was at least 6 of them. Night before everyone would gather around our kitchen table to strategize, why it took so long I'll never know but it was fun. Next day off they'd go not coming back til dark. . This went on for 20 years. My dad never shot a deer, Ernie never shot a deer...the boys did but the story usually went that the boys would come back to meet point to find my dad and Ernie just leanin' up against a tree drinking their coffee. If you knew my dad you know he was sitting there all day taking it in, breathing, and thinking and grinning as the deer walked past. I miss him.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

yeah, a big part of hunting is just being out there. - keith

Check out "Barley Alive"

Hey Keith! Did you know Robert Plant and Alison Krause just released their second collab Album? From Album 1; the Bluegrass version of “Black Dog” is magnificent! Robert and Alison have a special bond and you hear it in their music.

I had no idea. I'll look that up. - Keith

Where is the eclair honey bun???? I gotta try it. I’ve got diabetes but I’d die happy lol kidding I know my limits but I’d like to try one . In the mountains in the woods is my happy place , a fishing pole and a good stream . It’s all you need . Lol

"In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky that's the place where I trace my bloodline and it's there I read on a hillside gravestone "You'll never leave Harlan alive" Oh, my grandfather's dad crossed the Cumberland Mountains where he took a pretty girl to be his bride...said, "Won't you walk with me, out of the mouth of this holler or we'll never leave Harlan alive" It's Holler if ya got kin in Kentucky 😜 Gotta ask...what genre would you put this song in? To me it's somewhere between bluegrass and the blues. Stapleton's voice is just pure gold, the man could sing ding dong the wicked witch is dead and you'd feel that house drop on you. Just my thoughts. *whines* Keeeeith! Dustin is trying to keep all the bourbon to himself! 🤣🤣 Shhhh I'm a lil tipsy and honey buns will go to my hips and butt but a nice bourbon with the flavor might not. Being a Kentucky mash lover, my best friend was Jack for years when I was younger. Vodka is gross! I'm a bit tipsy but y'all never fail to make me giggle! Thank you!

lol, yeah, in KY, they're "hollers." And this totally was a honeybun in a glass. - Keith

Awesome, that is a hell of a song. Try Stapleton's "Watch You Burn" it makes a statement. Watch You Burn (Live From The 57th Academy of Country Music Awards / 2022)

[@brandy92d]

This song is amazing.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Great reaction to an absolutely awesome song, I grew up and now live in the Smokies, there are some eerily beautiful places to just be at peace. I waited to see Keith's face when he took that first taste because I thought it was gonna be icky, so even though I was disappointed that you didn't make a stank face, I am glad you didn't hate it. I don't hunt anymore (they can detect a wheel chair a mile away), but yes I have held the shot before in order to preserve the moment.

[@tracismith708]

What the fuck are you doing??? Love it guys! Great way of introducing the video! Stapleton is unmatched. Period! His song Arkansas is a great comparison. This band is fire. Go Hogs!

@@BourbonCountryReacts yeah but his reaction might be worth it. Funny as hell

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I once had a teacher that was a horrible witch, and moved me to the front of the class right in front of her desk. I solved that problem. A huge patch of ramps grew in this cemetery I walked through every morning on my way to school. I ate about a half a quart a day for a week. Let's just say, that was an interesting parent/teacher/principal conference. :) - Keith

Eclair hunny buns.. I prefer fresh bakery regular eclairs, but the store bought hunny bun ones are... decent. I'm not a hug sweet eater, so I pick my poison. The song.. growing up in rural Florida, I have little in the way of references. I enjoyed the music , the emotion in the words, some of the imagery was lost though. I think from what Keith explained the the North side of a mountain is like a deep part of some of the old growth oak forests where the only things growing are moss, ferns and some mushrooms. It's an eerie dim green on the brightest of days. Love the song though.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Having been in some of those southern forests, yes, very similar vibe. - Keith

[@randipearson4930]

He should get this band back together and make some music .. Like Miranda Lambert does her own thing but also is in the group Pistol Annies .. they are so cool .. y’all should react to Pistol Annies live version of any of their songs .. also Miranda Tin Man at the ACMs.. she wrote it after her and Blake divorced ..
