Love this song and his voice is amazing

[@usmcmech96]

"There was a fire at the refinery. Your dad is in a helicopter on the way to Galveston." Every kid in Beaumont TX knows what that means.

[@HaroldCarroll-m2q]

In the same vein as Uncle Lucius and this song is The Band Of Heathens the song " Hurricane" a great listen. Opens up a whole new world of music.

[@minilockwood24]

If you don’t already know this, this song is a true story about what happened to his father working on an oil rig in Texas

[@rednecktx9543]

Facts

[@RadixMalvu]

I work in oil, this is my song, I hope my boys don't gear it like this. If they do they know I loved them.

[@clarencephilpot3334]

Not an oil rig. Cleaning chemicals within a ship

[@Desertrat21]

@@RadixMalvuway to make it about you

He responded to a chemical spill

Good morning from Lake Jackson. I live 11 miles from the mouth of the Brazos River. Kevin is a low key local hero around here. For those of you who don't know, Lake Jackson/Clute/Freeport has been one of the world's largest industrial complexes since the 40's. The two largest employers in our region are Dow and the Brazosport Independent School District. Originally owned entirely by Dow, it's now parceled out to a variety of petrochem companies. Kevin's song is based on a true, personal story. But, even if it weren't his story, it's still a true story. Almost every guy I know has cycled through the plants for a time at some point in their lives, and almost every family I know has lived the events in the song at one point or another since 1942. The absolute truth to this song makes me misty eyed every time I hear it. A lot of people look down on us blue collar types, but we and our families have gone through Hell to build this country. This song is an anthem and should never be allowed to be forgotten.

Not just the gov. Wolves are all the things that seem to come at you, and seems to be from all directions when things start going wrong or hard times, like a bunch of wolves or how a pack operates ect... Nice reaction 👍👍

[@coryhaygood6191]

I agree. Wolves could be a number of things. Wolves come in different sizes and colors, just like bill collectors, IRS, and the mixed emotions that comes from a hard life.

[@frankandleah]

After the band disbanded this song went gold after being played on “Yellowstone “ he tells the story in another video.

[@donkeysaurusrex7881]

They got back together, but I am not sure if they are still together now.

[@richardbowers9890]

​@donkeysaurusrex7881 they are playing a festival in Southeastern CO later this year so I would guess they are.

[@jeffhogland8953]

This is a really good song. I heard you mention Broken Window Serenade and I thought you should check out Blackberry Smoke’s One Horse Town and something by Turnpike Troubadours, either 7 & 7 or The Bird Hunters.

[@trinityphotography2595]

Written by the band’s lead singer and frontman Kevin Galloway, the song recalls the story of Galloway’s dad, who was severely injured in a chemical accident on a tanker ship in the Galveston Bay, and how henceforth, the family struggled to make ends meet. In the song, the “wolves” are an allusion to all the things that pursue us, from hunger, to bill collectors, to things inside of us such as depression and sorrow, to carnal desires like addiction.

[@joshwilliams3653]

I worked with the drummer in Austin years ago. Seen em a bunch of times. This sat. I'll see em reunited at acl live. Super excited

[@jamesjacobsk4ebb]

Love this song! It's been in my playlist for several years now. It's in the Texas Country / Red Dirt Country genres along with Whiskey Meyers. Cool to see you in my category of music that I listen to mostly these days. Didn't know about this genre of music till I moved to West Texas. ( FUN FACT - on Spotify, I have this year alone, listened to 79 genres of music totaling well over 50,000 minutes this year alone. Whiskey Meyers - Heart of Stone gotta check it out!

[@tannermcmillen7643]

Another great song of their's is Ain't it the Same

[@patrickbilancione1201]

This is an incredible song. Everything about. The music, the story telling, the lyrics. Just amazing!!

[@metalmark1214]

I'm not a country music fan, but I do like the fact that many tell a story and some times from real life experiences. The wolves to me are the ones you owe money to. All the expenses of life.

[@nickhawkins6054]

Heard this first on Yellowstone. Also Yellowstone has probably the best music out of any other show ever made.

[@hynee2]

Uncle Lucius is a great band, more Rock than Country. Liquor Store is a must hear song! One of their best!!

[@stevenewcomer8837]

I listened to Uncle Lucius a few years back and I never considered them a country band.

[@jeffnoordyke9351]

I'm with ya brother, great song. I've been listening to it for a couple years. Awesome vibe !

[@larrynemec5400]

Uncle Lucius new album. "Like it's the Last One Left". Amazing! Start with Trace My Soul then listen to all of it.

[@Alexking-cp8mr]

@flickering box I recommend you listen too Ryan Bingham wolves got few other good country songs

[@jackwall7342]

Love the reaction Alexis and burch!! Would love to see your reaction to Galen Wall I'll Take The Blame!! Keep up the awsome reactions!! Love broken window serenade too lol

[@bobbyevans1668]

Growing up on the gulf coast of Texas, this story happens more than you think.

[@TwinPinesFarms]

Great song. The wolves for me are, what come for you after you lose everything. Homelessness is a big bad wolf.

[@stephenharris9314]

I remember as a kid my father leaving for work telling us kids he was going to go keep the wolves away

[@trinityphotography2595]

My cousin who is the best guitarist I know introduced me to this song. I love the song and the story he tells since I worked in the oilfield for about 16 years.

[@FinsandFur-y7c]

Ain't it the same...good song.

[@jonathanbrooks8418]

I love this guy

[@doobiedave9686]

The first time I saw Uncle Lucius they were on Austin City Limits and they put on a great show. Their music has been featured on t.v. shows like Sons of Anarchy, Nashville, and Yellowstone. Another good song by Uncle Lucius is Civilized Anxiety. 🙏✌️

[@bendalton5221]

the music service synched those because they are on the Yellowstone soundtrack

[@ricoalvarado54]

Lov that song

[@joshuaterry1008]

Try listening to ryan Bingham. Him uncle luscious whiskey Myers and luke grimes are on the yellowstone playlist cause they all appear as main characters or performers in the show.

[@johnpegues5701]

Thanks!

[@rodrigofasano8887]

Amazing loved

[@jlhilbert1]

The band basis itself out of Austin. The song is based on a true story about Kevin Galloway’s (the lead vocalist) father and a toxic cleanup in Galveston, Texas. His father was severely injured and only saved because the facilities in Galveston. The older couple are Kevin’s parents. Try “Taking in the View.” Fantastic lyrics and beautiful arrangements.

[@riainoloughlin2946]

Love the videos! If you guys love lyrics and the background behind songs like I think you do, I have 2 recommendations. Jason Isbell-Elephant and Frightened Rabbit-Keep yourself warm or Heads Rolls off. This band has a heartbreaking story. Thanks in advance👌🏻👌🏻

[@dustinstephens7321]

Check out Tanner Usrey and the song Josephine, it will hit you in the feels.

[@bluedogok]

The club scene was filmed at a South Austin institution The Saxon Pub. They are out of the Texas Country/Red Dirt music scene. They broke up a few years ago but got back together this year. The couple in the club are his parents.

[@analogueoverdigital929]

One of my favorite songs...pissed i didn't know about it before Yellowstone..but they are a great band. Many other good songs. It aint the same is another good one by UL.

[@ThomasWood-u2f]

Ain’t it the same by uncle Lucious

[@rednecktx9543]

This song is from his own personal life

[@ryansalmons5279]

Since you like WM Broken Window & Uncle Lucius this song, please check out Shane Smith & The Saints All I See Is You, Cody Jinx No Words. These are great songs similar to Broken Window & Keep the Wolves Away

[@geraldrobinson7019]

He is from my area.... everyone down here knows the events and the sory... i retired from that chemical company

[@jasonbarham5634]

This is a true story about what happened to his dad

[@garylogan3640]

When I first saw the thumbnail and title, I knew the name Uncle Lucius, no idea where from though, and I suspected it would be country. Then when the song started, shocked me, but I have heard this (and liked it), again no clue where from though, because I listen to rock, classic rock, and some metal, rarely do I venture into country. I am totally confused, was this in a movie or tv show?

[@donkeysaurusrex7881]

The song is a true story, but apparently the song was played on Yellowstone. This is what you would call Texas country or Red Dirt music. Both genres are a bit like Southern Rock from the 70s where things can sort of lean a bit towards rock or a bit towards country depending. Check out Turnpike Troubadors, Whiskey Myers, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Cody Canada and the Departed, and American Aquarium for similar sounds.

[@orangeandblackattack]

This band is under the genre of "Alt Country/Americana/Outlaw Country" which casts a wide net. You need to check out the Alt/Outlaw Country because that is where the new REAL country music is..singer/songwriters with lyrics that dont revolve around pickup tailgates, babes and beer - the moronic formula of pop country/mainstream country.

[@lucasdanziger79]

Hey guys you should listen to Linkin Park- Fighting Myself

[@Sim_racer_40oz]

Has Alex heard a cover song of zombie by Bad wolfs … I think it better then the original ❤

[@jessieconley6519]

Something they ain't - is a great tune by them. Liquor Store. This is one of my least favorites of theirs
