FIRST TIME REACTING TO | "Boondocks" Little Big Town

[@findingmyrootswoolmarketms]

The blonde, Kimberly, Schlapman, is from the small town where I live in Northeast Georgia. Many people know her and her family and are HUGE fans. One Sunday, about 13 years ago, not long after this song came out, our church opened up the microphone to anybody who wanted to come up and sing their favorite song. Many people participated and sang their favorite hymns. At one point a young boy, probably about nine years old, got up to sing his favorite song. It was beyond precious when he opened his mouth and started singing Boondocks. ❤️🎵🎶😂 Also, Kimberly has a line of kitchen products called Oh Gussie. I’m not sure where all she sells them, but you can definitely pick them up at Cracker Barrel.

Songs like this are why I still listen to country music sometimes. The harmonies alone and the way they bend the words around the notes. It's gorgeous. ETA: You have to do a reaction to their collaboration with Sugarland on "Life in a Northern Town." Harmony overdose and it is worth it.

[@davidoriggan]

This is so far from country music it's not even funny. Get real. Might as well listen to the backstreet boys 🤣🤣

[@Flushot22]

@@davidoriggan This is exactly what country was like 20 years ago when this song came out. You have no clue what you're talking about.

[@davidoriggan]

@@Flushot22 you obviously have no idea what country music is. This is bro/pop country that rich f-boys in their dads trucks can get drunk and sing along to. It's like saying pearl jam is heavy metal 🙄 george srait is real country for example. Not this poppy b.s

[@matthewdooley7855]

@@davidoriggan Whatever you want to call it, it's very good music. Good harmonies, good storytelling.

[@matthewdooley7855]

That is a great performance.

[@jennyelliott8650]

Saw Little Big Town, Chris Stapleton and George Strait this past June. Can’t even tell you how awesome the whole night was!!! Everyone brought it that night. We were in the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte and I felt like they were all singing to me!! Worth every penny I spent

[@jolenewitzel7919]

When the town next to you has a population of 6 you may be in the boondocks. Loved it.

[@HateTheGameTX]

Sheesh. From rural country ass Texas and my small town was 800 people

[@kimking6036]

I grew up in the boondocks 😊 please listen to their songs Pontoon and Whiskey, Beer, Wine. Those are such fun songs. Also Better man and Tornado are great and more serious songs. ☮️

[@christianmattison6096]

This is a great anthem of rural America. I've been all over the world, and have lived in many places across the country, both urban and rural. But first and foremost I'm from the boondocks myself. I noted that you're from NY. I'm from the western end of NY State where you have to travel an hour and a half just to go to an Olive Garden. It's real country out here. I love your reactions and your eclectic openness and appreciation for so many musical genres. By the way, a great follow up to this is "Old Black Water" by the Doobie Brothers.

[@meemermarie1977]

Home free did an awesome mash up up “boondocks and “fishin in the dark”

[@matthewdooley7855]

Some of the harmonies that Little Big Town puts together are just fantastic. We need more 4 person groups!

[@sharonpate5481]

I was born and raised in the boondocks! I went to a one room school where I was the only third grader! 😂😂 On Saturday night we would drive out to the dump to watch the bears going through the garbage 😂😂. Big excitement 😂👵🏼💜☮️

[@steveszanto1581]

ha! That sounds awesome

[@cog4life]

The video-video is great too. The personalities and fun in the video is great. You’d love that too!! ❤DIVE ON DOWN, GIRL!!! You have to!

[@garyforrest2494]

This song was their first big hit. My wife got to know them when they first started, and still to this day they recognize her and will come up to ask how she is doing. Such wonderful people and very humble.

[@michelleboussiala4470]

Pontoon and Little White Church are great songs by Little Big Town

[@kevlar715]

This is one of the first songs i remember really converting me to being a country music fan. Grew up with my pops listening to nothing but country. Took a while to grow on me but this... This was so good. Still is. Absolute fire

[@steveleavitt8813]

You have such personality ...brains ...looks ...a voice .....your husband is one lucky guy

[@tj7264]

They have a lot of good songs. Their harmonies are SO good!!

[@curtismarsh4528]

Their song "For the Daughters" is substantial, "better man" was written by Taylor Swift, Day Drinking,

[@donnabost4445]

Better Man is another good one from them....written by Taylor Swift.....

[@angelamason9840]

I absolutely love Home Free cover of boondocks! I was raised in the boondocks of the north west US, but love living in the city so this song is really fun.

[@firedoc5]

Grew up exactly like this. Our grade school was in the middle of nowhere and the mascot was Polecats, The Jasper Polecats. If that's not boondock-y, nothing is. LOL The video is very much how it was in high school. We would have to wet down the dirt so it wouldn't kick up so much dust.

[@Rangatology]

If you like this, you’ll also like Home Free’s mash up “Fishin’ in the dark / Down in the Boondocks”

[@chantellecline6945]

I love Little Big Town, they sound so great together.

[@99sheepy]

I agree with the comment below, Sugarland/Jake Owen/Little Big Town covering Dream Academy's Life in a Northern Town is worth checking out. So many voices.

[@connieclarke8552]

Yes!Yes!Yes! I love it!

[@quintondees4501]

When my kids were small we'd drive down the road singing the last part of this song together, we had such a fun time🤣

[@diane8513]

Listen to "Sober" harmonies so beautiful

[@williamcapp448]

Home Free does a great cover of this song in a mash up with the song Fishin' in the Dark

[@sherribrock2726]

You do realize they originally did this song 18 years ago!!

[@randallwilson]

You may like Lady Antabellum " Need you now"

[@quinjesuis9187]

Love this song and it's message and the music, truly what a pleasure and delight, yes iam proud of where iam from, it truly made me who I am and I love myself and how I turned out, I can see the good and bad and ugly of where I am from and say iam proud of where I am from 🙏🙏🙏 yeah I remember captain planet, it was a cartoon, wasn't on long but it dealt with a lot of environmental problems and was basically saying if we all work together, we could clean, restore, and protect our planet like it is our home and the other home we have, that is floating in the void of space 🙏🙏🙏

[@robertsmith4681]

Used to listen to that one on my way to work ... Leaving my peaceful rural home to get to my job in the city, and hating every second of that drive lol

[@christymcdaniel3906]

Each member also sings lead on certain songs, they won Grammys for Pontoon, Better Man, And Girl Crush.

[@pamagnolia]

Great band and song! Their harmonies!!

Ooooh can’t wait to see you react to this!!! ❤❤❤

[@dsusan17]

I love your new hairdo!. LBT is great group! They have a great catalog. Great reaction Britt

[@GABISNAIL]

Kimberly is also my fav aesthetically, plus from interviews she is just the sweetest person on the planet. If you want a song that she sings lead on I’d recommend “sober” ❤

[@GABISNAIL]

This! And I’d also recommend “save your sin” as a Kimberly led song, it’s got a bit more bite sonically but they’re both awesome songs

[@debbieredmon5063]

I love this song. I saw them way before they were a "thing." They sang Boondocks then and I and the crowd went wild. The end when its all about the fishing whole I lose my mind. Me and my teenage daughter would try to song the end and crack ourselves up because to women don't make 4 part harmony. Every time they sing it is a joy and this song just celebrates their beginnings. So glad you decided to review. Also, as usual, you make it fun and you are so insightful!!

[@Cissy777]

One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, I live in the deep South, in the Boondocks ❤

[@jwmson7791]

I knew you would love this! This was one of their first hits. ♥️

You’re so cool. Fun to watch your excitement. This song rocks!! 🕺🏽 good times. Have you heard Day Drinking. Another fun song

[@lindabrewer3243]

Britt. I was born and raised in the "Boondocks" of New York. Ever heard of The Adirondack Mountains? Lake George?

[@Gashouse69]

They were so young when this came out. Where does the time go (as I brush back my silver bangs)?

[@cacestbon8022]

Sitting here in the actual boondocks listening to this. 150-acre crawfish and rice farm down miles of gravel road a half hour from civilization. Born and raised.

not sure where to request someone, here you go...KT Oslin, amazing lady that has passed on....songs, 80's Ladies, Hold Me, Do Ya, just a few of her not to be missed songs....songwriter, musician, talent...

[@chanellegale914]

I LOVE Little Big Town. Got to see them live in Australia & by far one of my fav concerts their harmonies are beyond 🔥 Check out "Sober" or "Beat Up Bible" Kimberly (the blonde) sings lead on those songs and they're 2 of my fav LBT song's.. ❤

[@bonniesmith4311]

I second the "Sober" recommendation. Kimberly has a great voice and that's a great song.

[@marcsailers534]

Little Big Town's "Tornado" is good too 👍

[@charleslively1714]

I seen them when they wer first starting out they opened for someone I forget but they were awesome!!

[@lonniebutterfield185]

Saw them in concert great show they had the blond lady sing a song but the pipes she has amazing

[@2legit2quitNow]

They have awesome voices! A few other greats if you do want to check out are Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, and then here's a band that is not as popular, Gloriana. They don't have as many hits so if you do go down this road, I recommend 'wild at heart ' and 'how far do you wanna go'. Happy listening:)

[@billhunt3864]

since you fan crush on this stuff too.... the hair, the makeup, the nails, and that shirt that electrified the color of the reaction..home run!!! ps: one of my fav little big town songs

[@joshstone8309]

The dark haired guy and girl are married and another group and song to check out just by being you by steel magnolia

[@mikemiller3069]

A little off topic but I think you should listen to "Old Brown Shoe" by The Beatles. My favorite lyrics from it are, "I want a love that's right, but right is only half of what's wrong. I want a short haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long....."

[@jeraldbennett9289]

First of all. I finally subscribed to you!!! Second....I think I know of a video you might like. It's a compilation of Sugarland, Jake Owen and Little Big Town covering 'Life in a Northern Town". It's a cover of the song from the 80's by Dream Academy. Keep up the good work on your content

[@SigRho1429]

Point of order: Trees mean you’re “in the sticks”. The boondocks are the backwoods. Seeing trees isn’t enough, the road needs to be a two track with grass growing up in the middle.

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

They are awesome, Boondocks will always lift my mood - so catchy.

[@ToobaTime06]

Prepare to dive down an excellent rabbit hole with Little Big Town. They have a great catalog of music. For more recent hits check out Rich Man or Day Drinking. From their earlier years check out the combination of their song “Lost” with Coldplay’s “Fix You”. Definite tear jerker.

[@flipppy83]

the four of them are the face of the band, the two men both play guitar

[@michellejackson6679]

Girl I'm a middle aged white girl that lives on a 150 acre farm.. I love the Boondocks... lol and our 1/4 mile driveway.. that is gravel is off a dang dirt road.. And I hate it... want to get rid of that dirt road so that my car is just a dust bucket all the time.

[@Drast03]

If you want to hear Kimberly (the blonde girl) solo, check out the song “Stay” by Little Big Town… if you want to hear more of Philip (the blonde guy) taking a lead, check out “Bring It On Home” by Little Big Town

[@paulpupo8799]

Love love this song I grew up in a town of about two hundred people in British Columbia Canada we had to take a bus in high school to another town all of our teachers teased us that we lived in the boondocks we did have a muddy river and the trains were constant it’s what I went to sleep with the clack clack of the trains we all had tin roof’s because we got a ton of snow in the winter I fell no shame and yes my heart and soul is in the boondocks

[@bleh2959]

My favorite song ever, I remember being a kid no older then 6 and me and my family would always blast this song while fishing

[@kevinsharpjr]

The two dark hair members of Little Big Town are married to each other , and the two women met in college .

Living in the country IMO is so much better than the city. I was born and raised in Vermont, joined the Army, was stationed at Fort Bragg NC, and lived in Fayetteville. got out and lived in Ohio for about a year and finally made my way back home to Vermont again. And I will die in my home state. Never leaving again. The cities I lived in were full of rude, self centered people. Almost every day there was a car accident, a murder, a robbery. Here in Vermont shit is chill. I'll never live in the city ever again.
