Cody Jinks - Must Be The Whiskey | Reaction

Finally getting around to checking out Cody Jinks on the channel. His new single "Must be the Whiskey" is pretty great, and I'm glad to see it in the Top 20 on iTunes Country! I owe The Rock for turning me on to Cody!

FINALLY SOME REAL DAMN COUNTRY

[@kendallmastre3356]

No kidding..the rock listens to good ole country🤯 I like the rock even more

[@Jmarsfan28]

Hippies and Cowboys still one of his best. Fast Hand, Black Sheep, Thunderheads, Grey, Loud and Heavy. And so many more great songs.

[@ghostdriver5880]

I Iove hippies and cowboys and load and heavy!

[@dall2341]

Cody is my favorite artist right now. Going to see him for the second time in July 👍

[@dall2341]

And by the way, josh Morningstar wrote this one. Check him out if you haven’t already

[@chrisfaith7517]

Dude it's all about the Texas music. I'm from oregon but all my favorite music comes from Texas. Cody jinks, Josh abbot, whiskey myers, turnpike troubadours, cross Canadian ragweed. And the list goes on and on

[@dylankamp4899]

So happy to see Cody getting recognition been listening to him for Atleast 4 years now in my opinion best artist in country today wish more people could hear him

[@briandyer2311]

About 7 years ago. I heard Mr. Jinks play at the Rockett Cafe in Rockett ,Tx he was singing loud and heavy to a room of 10 people... Last year I went to see him at Verizon theater in Grand Prairie, Tx sold out show. It's been amazing to follow him and his music!

[@collegefootballfan7909]

This man is keeping it real in the country world today. I feel he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He's the real deal. Saving country one song at a time.

[@drewbreaultmusic]

Jon Wolfe and Randall King, both amazing Texas artists with a great old school sound. Check them out definitely if you are gonna bring on more of the Texas scene

[@jessemorrison9636]

Love to hear pedal steel. Thanks for doing some Cody Jinks! He puts on a great live show if you haven't seen him.

[@WWII_buff]

Jesse Morrison Hot rod Austin Tripp kills it every.

[@daxhives]

Great review !! Really spot on , on the writing 👍Check out the songwriter of this awesome Cody Jinks single , Josh Morningstar !!! . His songs are all great , wich is why Cody recorded it , I’m sure . Josh is a great performer in his own right , and tours the entire USA 🇺🇸 constantly . He also grows a mean beard lol competition level .

[@HearBobbyRoar]

Congrats to Cody Jinks for dropping such a great song. Josh Morningstar is such a great songwriter and he has SO MUCH MORE!! Number one and more to come.

[@ladymae393]

Love my boy Cody, he is amazing live and so wonderful to kids. My son loves him. I took him in Dec to see Cody. Amazing show.

[@mcamman6193]

I'm getting a lot more invested in this channel. You along with Mark, are some of the only Country Music critics I've come across on KZbin that even talk about Country Music, which Is sad because I think it's a great genre. Great review here on this album.

[@skiperdog]

just saw him last month in concert! he's amazing!!!

[@lukebroadbent4935]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I love Cody Jinks. The guy writes great songs and I can't get enough of his voice. He's not reinventing the wheel with what he does but there's no need to when you can do what he does this well. I love this song. It's got such a cool beat. I'm glad you mentioned the bassline at one point. I think the bass nearly always on point in his songs. Can't wait for the album.

[@jessespencer7333]

Luke Broadbent Have you not listened to his Blacksheep album? Or “Heavy Load” and “Hand Me Down”? He definitely does do some reinventing.

[@lukebroadbent4935]

Erm... No I don't think I have. I haven't heard anywhere near everything he's ever done. I'll have to check these out.

[@jessespencer7333]

There a little on the “progressive” side of his work. Still very much Cody but kinda experimental in a way. They’re very good some of my favorite songs are those.

[@jessespencer7333]

If you ever have the time I’d check out his full catalog.

[@dakotadorsey2918]

I know this is long but I have all the suggestions right here. You need to check out Cody Johnson (Never Go Home Again, and anything on his Gotta Be Me album); Randy Rogers has some killer songs in Interstate, Meet Me Tonight, Tequila Eyes; Josh Abbott Band is my all time favorite (the story he tells through the whole Front Row Seat albums will bring you to your knees), Stoney Larue has great songs such as Velvet and Feet Don't Touch the Ground. If you want to step into more of a Southern Rock/Texas Country scene, you need to check out Blackberry Smoke (Sunrise in Texas, One Horse Town) or Whiskey Myers (Broken Window Serenade and Stone). Jon Wolfe is newer to me, but has a great voice that could pick up in Nashville in the future. Flatland Cavalry is on the Texas scene and killing it as well. BUT the dark horse name that not too many people know yet is RED SHAHAN. This guy is the bee's knees, his leg, and his foot. The real deal! Great Songs by Red are Men & Coyotes, Someone Someday, 303, Long Way to Fall, and Boom Town. Honorable mentions: William Clark Green, Wade Bowen, Casey Donahew, Read Southall, Shotgun Rider

[@brentshepard3925]

Gotta thank you for turning me on to Cody Jinks and Turnpike Troubadours. I’ve got them on repeat shuffle in my iTunes library.

[@huesommabit]

Josh Morningstar wrote the song. 👌😉

[@outdoorrushtv2907]

Yes Josh Morningstar wrote the song at the request of CODY and I know Josh will be thankful he did :)

[@outdoorrushtv2907]

Josh Morningstar you won’t be thankful?

[@outdoorrushtv2907]

Josh 👍thanks brother FYI because you wrote this song I now have download your music and your music is awesome. Peace brother

[@biochemistry288]

Love your country reviews. I moved to Europe from Canada, and love the 90's style country (not a fan of bro country). Love watching your videos for songs to listen to since I don't get country radio here (unless over the internet). Another Texas country singer I found last year I think you should review is Jon Wolfe.

[@willthorson4543]

you definitely need more red dirt country...lol

[@coltonpouch2653]

Finally!!! He's my favorite artist out right now

[@collinscott2067]

I love Cody jinks he’s been one of my favorite for a while !!!

[@Jmarsfan28]

Nice to see some guys still making country music.

[@drusmithwick7081]

Cody Jinks is my favorite artist right now, just ahead of Stapleton. You need to check out Jason Eady out of Texas. He keeps it country and is an outstanding songwriter

[@dariodiaz4916]

react to KOE WETZEL!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamesdrysdale3937]

Check out Cody’s song Fast Hand from his album Blacksheep! Pretty sure it’s one of his oldest songs he has!

[@jessespencer7333]

James Drysdale It is it’s off of his first album the “Collector’s Item” I think.

[@danyellez]

Dell Sykes Music The song is actually found both on Collector's Item and Blacksheep. 😉

[@jessespencer7333]

Danielle Coffin Yeah, I know. I was referring to him saying it was one of his oldest songs. There more known version is on Blacksheep but the original version is on Collector’s. I was just stating that to back up what he said. Lol

[@kaydensevison7318]

Dell Sykes Music you have to be a flocker😂

[@HankRuff]

If you’re gonna do more Texas stuff, you gotta give Randall King a reaction video!

[@ClarkBrenner]

Great review! I would like for you to review another Texas Country singer. His name is Randall King and he also sings Traditional Country. I think he was influenced heavily by Garth Brooks because you can hear it in his voice.

[@slowsixo]

I like Randall king but Garth Brooks is the father of pop country!

[@ClarkBrenner]

Darrel Zehr I meant his voice kind of sounds similar to Garth’s. I wasn’t talking about music style.

[@slowsixo]

Ok

[@txdieselkid]

Randell is great. Mirror Mirror is great.

[@DillonFreasierB]

Don't you dare compare CJ to Luke combs.

[@AmfIII]

Whiskey starts out like a old Ronnie Milsap, tune and the heavy steel finishing up strong reminds me of some good old Marshall Tucker Band!

[@dj1400777]

Yes!!! If only the radio played his music he’s wayyy underrated. Look up Matt mason too his song “E” is pretty good

[@henrywaymouth7242]

Iv got I love you on my mind, I got jim beam on my breath..... so good

[@kendallmastre3356]

Grady have you listened to Jake Worthington

[@BaronLane]

Cody Jinks is the shit!!

[@citrusmixer1313]

What is your feeling about Sugarland's 2008 "All I Want To Do" and 2010 "Stuck Like Glue?" Love or hate? I find there's no middle ground with those two songs, haha.

[@chrisstanley3340]

Josh Morningstar wrote the song, Cody just covered it.

[@spencernash2359]

William Clark Green is a great Texas act, and has a new single out as well right now

[@delaneyolmstead]

Check out Jon Wolfe and Randall King!

[@jakefisher202]

Grey is probably my favorite song by him

[@gusmurphy3299]

Hey Grady, you ever listen to Drake White? I feel like you would really enjoy his music.

[@beniveyv7849]

Would love to see you check out more Texas country like Jason boland, Jason eady, Zane Williams, max stalling, and turnpike troubadours

[@colinstorrar6251]

Cody Jinks will change country music for the better👍🏻

[@coleharmon4752]

Another great band is the steel woods. They performed with Cody for a while.

[@josiekoerner5345]

Oh no you didn't compare Cody Jinks to a Jason Alden, such an insult to Cody. Cody Thinks is actually country & Jason Alden is more broken country or country pop.

[@josiekoerner5345]

Jinks not thinks

[@jamesdrysdale3937]

Review Still Drivin’ my Paul Cauthen! Also please do some TYLER CHILDERS

[@williamhanna6334]

Turnpike Troubadours for sure! His albums have a storyline behind them with linking characters. I’d start with “Bird Hunters” or “The Funeral” I know several more out of Texas scene. Get at me on Twitter for more.

[@GradySmith]

Turnpike! They were my #2 album of 2015, and my #1 album of 2017!

[@tammylambert2404]

Man you need to listen to all of cody he is bad ass in all his song and by the way you need to check out WARD DAVIS he is freaking awesome also

[@sarahfreeman0910]

I would love to see your reaction to Buddy Brown or Ned Ledoux

[@coltonpouch2653]

Going to review the whole album now?

[@quentinmartinez5889]

You need to check out colter wall.

[@marktaylor4608]

Cody didn't write this song, Josh Morningstar wrote this

[@GradySmith]

Mark Taylor yeah I told him sorry for not knowing that on Twitter! He's a great writer!

[@Jason-zh5zt]

Please don't use Jason Aldens name in the same sentence as the man Cody Jinks, the country music Jesus

[@gypsysoul5373]

I thought the exact same thing when he said that! LOL

[@clinchfieldns]

Need to check out Tyler Childers as well!

[@josiekoerner5345]

check out Randy Rogers, Cody Johnson

[@ginaliter7864]

Check out Paul Cauthen and Justin Wells

[@evanwarren4083]

cover wade bowen and randy rogers

[@mhmadgenious]

please review some of aaron lewis' songs

[@Dalton2276]

COLTER WALL

[@busybeezlawnservices4125]

The hell with you and skipping parts of the whole song ....

[@ifreedoms6823]

He’s trying to avoid a copy right strike

[@countrymusiclover]

This song was not even written by Cody Jinks. It was written by Josh Morningstar. Big Jinks fan huh? Know your stuff before you review it!

[@johnnyholley3]

Denice Parsons the rapper?

[@countrymusiclover]

No, the country writer and singer

[@GradySmith]

Yeah, I reached out to Josh on Twitter when I realized that. (It's sort of the peril of doing a reaction, but I'm usually more songwriter aware.) He wasn't too mad!
