We chose to begin our journey using our this setup for a variety of reasons (recording setup (hardware/software), latency issues, communication during videos, cost of upgrades in software/hardware, etc) but rest assured we will look to continue improving our (and your) experience by making adjustments and listening to the community in an ongoing manner!

I loved the look on Sam's face when she realized it was the hooker that survived. Most reactors don't ever catch that it was the hooker that survived and had a son who grew up to be a preacher. This was her legacy.

[@mikemccauley3487]

I really enjoyed they got it too. I go into reactions of this song dreading reactors don't get it and 90% don't. hats off to you guys for listening and not missing the story by interjecting.

[@Smitty8858]

I watch all reactions to this song just for that reason!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! Come back soon!

[@don-o-seven1437]

Tears every time.

[@johnhurtme]

It was the preachers legacy, too, his last lost soul to change.

[@jennybowd2962]

The look on your face when you realised who survived was priceless - fantastic song

[@garyseabolt]

One thing you can take away from this song even if you aren't religious, the power to change lives is real whether you believe God is real or not.

[@philcortor7886]

Randy Travis, "Forever & ever, Amen".

[@justinwilder3514]

That “It’s not what you take” line is my senior quote from high school, that’s how big of an impact he has on me and I tear up every time u see someone get to experience this for the first time

[@allendixon7700]

You know, it's beautiful this CO UN TRY music. MUSI say here now what you know what's right or Ag. H. T

[@009AWB]

When Randy Travis debuted we were in the height of the country rock phase and he gave us a taste of the classic country vocalists from decades past. Very refreshing.

[@zapataattack5843]

Took me a minute to comment as I'm currently wiping my tears. I cry every time I hear this song. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. "Forever and Ever, Amen" is a great song. Randy was ridiculously popular back in the day (I sure loved him) and "Forever and Ever, Amen" was probably played at every wedding in the 1980s.

[@Jimreb80]

My wife and I alomost went with that when we got Married 2014. Ended up with "I cross my heart" by George Strait.

[@zapataattack5843]

@@Jimreb80 nice choice...I love George Strait!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Happy tears! 🤗

[@TNgirl546]

I was in Nashville and went out with my mom and dad to a large country bar. My dad introduced me to Randy Travis. I had no clue how famous he was lol. He asked me to dance and of course I said yes. Later that night he took the stage and started singing. It floored me and I thought dang I just danced with someone famous and had no clue.

[@Moviefan2k4]

My mother adored Randy Travis, and this was one of her favorite songs by him. I enjoy it a great deal myself; thanks for showing your reaction to it.

[@fayewood1377]

I love how the preacher left the hooker with salvation which she passed on to her son who became a preacher and passed it on to his congregation its a great song of redemption. You don't know how you affect those around you.

[@willieboy3011]

Randy Travis brought back some old Country Music sounds in the 80s. Death is no stranger to Country Music since it is no stranger to people, although we pretend otherwise.

[@planojag595]

The timbre of his rich baritone voice is unparalleled. My favorite Randy Travis songs are Reasons I Cheat; Promises; Take Another Swing At Me; This is Me; Look Heart, No Hands; Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man; That’s Where I Draw the Line; I Told You So; The Box; He Walked On Water; Three Wooden Crosses; Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart; It’s Just a Matter of Time; On the Other Hand; and Forever and Ever Amen.

[@mikeconway9849]

Another fantastic country song and singer! Randy has an amazing voice. Love the reaction!

[@jimbennett8036]

Sadly Randy can't really perform like this anymore.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you! Great song!

[@leftcoastkiller1873]

I am lucky enough to communicate with Mr. Travis. We message back n forth once every couple of months. Since his second stroke, he has been limited in public appearances. He is going out on tour with a group of Musicians playing his music. There is a video out entitled Precious Memories where Randy tells stories about the songs that made the Album Worship & Faith. He hadn't had a hit song in almost 6 yrs when Kim Williams brought him the song. It'd the first Gospel song ever to hit at #1 on the country charts. 1 thing I take away from the conversations I have with him is that he appreciates everyone who's a fan and is humbled by the admiration. His Storms of Life Album came along at a time when I needed to lean on something to just wake up for another day living. Music with a heart is how he put it, lol. Love your reaction

[@darrinlindsey]

Thank you for listening to the story well enough to understand it. So many reactors don't catch on to the "subtle" way he told the story. Randy is well known to throw a Gospel song on many of his albums. This song obviously has a hint Gospel behind it. Another story song that Randy did is He Walked On Water. Again, like this song, it's a Country song with a slice of Gospel, in the story.

[@terryceaser7747]

Randy has a huge catalog. I suggest - He walked on water, 1982, Forever and ever amen, and many many more. I promise you will love it.

[@melissacaddell2604]

His voice is the smoothest silky country butter. I could hear him all day long. Please do his song I told u so. Beautiful.

[@rons3634]

The official video of Forever and Ever Amen by Randy would be a happy counterpoint for this song.

[@MAGIKMARTIAN9526]

YOU COULD TELL the moment she had the realization the hooker survived so she could have a preacher

[@veganlion4328]

This song left me sobbing the first time i heard it years ago. Every single time ive heard it including this time huge tears run down my face. Randy became popular when i was about 20 or so and i followed his whole career. He's also from NC where i live also.

[@thehonestwoodcutterbradywe8011]

Yay first commenter! Hi Phil and sam.loving the content.I'm here for it.I'm happy to see you understood the message right away.many reactors have missed the point.its a story of redemption.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jennel802009]

"You're Gonna Miss This," by Trace Adkins. Very emotional song.

[@crbr1432000]

I'm so glad that you both put the story together. Randy was a great story teller in other songs also.

[@dortheyc5276]

Thanks Guys! Now, I'm ugly crying. LOL I can never get past the 1st verse before the tears start. There is another song by Randy called "Raise Him Up." It's about a man who marries a woman with a child, and he vows to love him and to "raise him up." Great reactions guys. Love the channel!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you! Appreciate you & glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@billolsen4360]

Saw Randy & his band perform this in Albuquerque 13 years ago today. A real blessing!

[@carolyncostner9619]

Randy got his start not far from where I live. I spent my early 20s hearing him play as the house band. Phenomenal voice! He has lots of big hits. He is more traditional country.

[@heatherdecoteau7938]

Never heard of Randy Travis?!? I have loved his music since I was a little girl! ♥️

[@heinleinreader]

If you like redemptive songs, I have a suggestion for you. The song is Bed of Roses by the Statler Brothers. This is a song that speaks of the meaning of love for those who nobody sees as a proper love interest. The messaging is as powerful in its own way as this one is. I also would recommend that you do Chapel Hart singing their original song, "You Can Have Him, Jolene." Yes, it is an update of the Dolly Parton song,"Jolene."

[@flyntplatz3724]

Awesome reaction. I saw Randy many years ago when he was the opening act for Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn, and he was amazing then.... Some other great Randy Travis songs you may want to react to are: Digging Up Bones, He Walked On Water and Forever and Ever Amen.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you!

[@SueDamron]

You got the story and the message! Such a wonderful reaction! I’ll be watching more of your content!!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you! Excited to have you here with us!

[@1960rlv]

Randy’s first radio hit was “1982”, from around 84/85. That’s a good song to react too to hear what we all first heard all those years ago.

[@johnbattles1002]

Randy Travis is one of the most successful country music artists of all time, and a magnificent story teller! More than even that, he is a fine Christian gentleman whose songs center on God, country, family, moral values, and generally just down-home wholesomeness which is sadly lacking in today's music industry (and society) as a whole. Please react to his "Forever & Ever, Amen" and "Deeper Than the Holler." Very fine reaction from you both!

[@kevinsimpson8336]

Yall are fantastic. I love knowing young people understanding fantastic stories!!!

[@MarySiddell]

Randy Travis is one of my favorites. Another of his best is On The Other Hand or really just anything he recorded. Really enjoy your reactions. Keep up the good work. 😉

[@SIXX2772]

Oooh..cant wait to see if yall can figure this one out! Brilliant song!

[@davidcohen7146]

@Bars & Barbells- Randy Travis is great and Three Wooden Crosses is one of my fav songs ever. Another great one of his you should react to is forever and ever Amen.

[@wcwindom56]

you can never go wrong with Randy

[@johnthegreek5836]

You’ll definitely find that Country artist are great storytellers, Randy Travis had a great career

[@vickybrackin7483]

Another few great songs by Randy are, I Thought He Walked On Water and I Told You So and On The Other Hand!!❤❤❤

[@nolancampbell6139]

Yes it's been a while, but I can only see so much. I value the add and perspective you give. Looking forward to more.

[@Jimreb80]

I can't love this enough. This is easily in my top 10 favorite songs. Yes, heart wrenching but very nice song. For sure touches on your heart stings. You both always have the most genuine reactions. Always looking forward to your next. May I request Randy Travis and Carrie Underwood "I told you so?"

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying them! We'll make a note on our LONG list 😂

[@TexasMagnolia]

Randy Travis is historical. Not only in Country but in Gospel. His beautiful voice stolen from sever strokes. Huge rabbit hole. First visit, appreciate your respect & the research. Country never shy’s away from God. New Sub.

[@dianabodemer1889]

It's all about hope, ability, forgiveness and mental strength. Life isn't easy.

[@Anthony-lb4op]

For those who are not religious yet, if you suddenly die without Faith and repenting, your soul is lost. Those three were ready, they went to heaven. The preacher found the lost soul and gave her the MAP to Salvation (The Bible: God's Word), which was put to good use: Saved her and her son. Perhaps God gave her a chance, as He does for all of us, to save ourselves by finding and having Faith! Great song!...., Amen!

[@GranpaMike]

Glad you guys have discovered Randy Travis. He has so many great songs, you'll have to try really hard to find a clunker. Yeah, there probably aren't any. This one is one of my favorites, no doubt. I think his best was "HE WALKED ON WATER" kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3S5qGuHn8qabpY. So sweet, you'll want to experience it. Great-grandpas are special, just like great-grandmas.

[@twiceborn_by_grace]

I’m a Christian and I never really under stood this songs ending until I saw the look on Sam’s face, so thank you. I’m really big into country love songs, so you should react to “forever and ever, amen” by Randy Travis.

[@sandralorenz1796]

Check out Randy's "Promises". He had a stroke in 2013 and is battling his way back.

[@sylvialang6606]

try forever and ever amen by randy. He was a great storyteller. Enjoying him, you would also love George Straitt, who has sooo many songs that have been hits, number ones. try Amarillo By Morning or Cross My Heart. For a great country female try Bonnie Raitt. Can't Make You Love Me or my fave Let's give em something to talk about. Enjoy. Love your reactions. Getting into a really nice groove now. Congrats. BTW . Do more HOme Free. they are always great!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you! Home Free up today!

[@Gutslinger]

Surprisingly didn't see any comments mentioning that Randy unfortunately had a stroke maybe 6-8 years ago that caused him to have some brain damage which effected his motor skills. And the breathing tubes messed up his vocal chords. Sadly he can't really sing anymore. Though they did bring him on stage with a bunch of country artists at one of the award shows years ago. All of the artists sang his hit song "Forever and Ever, Amen", and they had him sing a line from it. Which was bittersweet, knowing his condition but happy he was alive and finally back on stage again being appreciated.

[@montearabie5961]

Thank you guys for doing this one. such a great story and message.

[@SIXX2772]

WOW....Sam figured it out first Phil! lol

[@bre2581]

Randy has an amazing Catalogue, he had a stroke and is no longer able to perform. “Forever and ever amen” “deeper than the holler” “I told you so” “on the other hand” all great songs by him.

[@paulmartin4566]

Love ya'lls reaction..

[@VVeremoose]

Randy Travis recommendations: On the Other Hand is required listening So is Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man He Walked on Water (about his great granddad) Forever and Ever, Amen Digging Up Bones I Told You So Heroes and Friends Deeper than thr Holler is a fun little poke at Southern culture Look, Heart. No Hands. -another one you might need to be from the South to understand

[@brianoliver4334]

Sad that we'll never hear new songs from him ever again! He had a stroke that took his ability to speak.

[@kylesummers1565]

Peace, Love!!

[@Rand0mHero713]

Billy Currington - People are crazy. Nice song with a little twist at the end

[@NathanBailey123]

This is a great randy travis song, but you should react to gary allan right where I need to be (video)

[@eternalharmony7546]

cool reaction,thanks for the video

[@garygoodman4342]

My favorite Randy Travis song is I Thought He Walked on Water. My mamaw and papaw raised me and my brother, and if you listen to the song you will know why it is my favorite.

[@aprilnewsome1932]

I love Randy's music so much. My favorite songs off top of my head are (storms of life) and (He walked on water) and no they aren't religious based. Lol

[@kevinsimpson8336]

God bless!!

[@jaymichaelruss6872]

Great reaction guys!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you!! 😁

[@Jakedillmane12]

Digging up bones is top tier not just country but all music should check it out

[@marvcameron7854]

Gods plan for you and everybody else

[@chrismurphy1960]

New subscriber great job ladies

[@woodintheblood4104]

Brand new subscriber here. I have a recommendation for you. The CMT awards were held recently and an artist by the name of "JELLY ROLL" won three of them!! He burst on to the music scene in a big way with his song entitled "SAVE ME". That is the recommendation. Watch his original video of "SAVE ME". I promise you have never seen another artist like him. Thanks.

[@jimbennett8036]

My two kids listened to Jelly Roll a lot but I never hear any of his music until recently. When I heard the first one I thought, why didn't they tell me he did country music. By the name I thought his music must be rap or funk or something like that.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thanks! We'll definitely try to get to some Jelly Roll in the future!

[@Gutslinger]

​@@jimbennett8036 He was rap for many years. An independent artists. A lot of great rap songs, including a lot of collaborations with Struggle Jennings (Waylon Jennings' grandson). He only recently started singing, and then did some kind of deal and got into the country scene. I haven't been following him much since he transitioned to singing, so I had no clue he was featured on the awards show. But makes sense, if he signed a deal. I heard him vaguely talking about it on the first episode of Tracey Lawrence's podcast.

[@barrykeis4625]

I started watching y'all about a week ago. Your reactions are genuine This past week I have not slept much. I am in law enforcement and have attended many officer"s funerals. Today was a little different. I had to say goodbye to a great friend and fellow Officer. If you have the time would you please do Hannah Ellis "Officer Down". She wrote this song for her cousin, who's husband also gave his life in the line of duty. It is from the wife's perspective. Daniel Ellis Badge #457

[@gregcobb4066]

Great song and reactions again!....Please push Eva Cassidy...Over the Rainbow...Autumn Leaves...and try James Blunt Monsters

[@zuzax1656]

I just came across your channel this evening, and I like what I've seen so far. It appears that you are dipping your toes into the waters that is Country music. If I may make a suggestion, there are 3 Country songs that are amongst my favorites. Hank Williams, Jr.'s "A Country Boy Can Survive", Jordan Davis's "Buy Dirt" (ft. Luke Bryan), and Brad Paisley's "He Didn't Have To Be". One thing you should know about the first artist, is that he is the son of one of Country's biggest legends. And I can tell you both are both into fitness. But, how do you think you would fare if you fell 500 feet off a mountain? Hank Jr. did, and survived. He wears a beard now to hide the scars.

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Love Randy’s voice. He is a great story teller. Check out Brooks and Dunn - I Believe. Another story song. And Jeannie C Riley - Harper Valley PTA. George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today. All great ones!

[@dbeekman9738]

Hey, look, it's Martin Short and Sandra Bullock doing reaction videos.

[@StephenJDunn1982]

hits me in the feels

[@you2449]

This was later in Randy's career when he started to do religious music. But to see why he is a Legend - - check out his earlier stuff. I'd start with On The Other Hand.

[@whjenn]

Cool reaction new sub here!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thx! Welcome!

[@mrrisko1]

Great reaction you should check out Forever and Ever, Amen by Randy!!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thx! Seems like a popular request!

[@davidschiech9188]

Great song but most people forget all about the Bus Driver

[@robintong3002]

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

This was such a great reaction. If you want to do a reaction to another song with a deep message - do The Greatest by Kenny Rogers - Then there is Some Gave All by Billy Ray Cyrus , The Chain Of Love Clay by Clay Walker and many more but I will limit my suggestions these. :)

[@steveostrander5182]

I've always wondered what happened to the bus driver.

[@stevemaggard5866]

Thanks you guys enjoying your reactions please check out craig morgan's almost home such an amazing story

[@martinharbolt4172]

Would love to see your reaction to The Star Spangled Banner by Madison Rising.

[@markbryant5965]

Three wooden crosses are symbolic of the three crosses at Calvary where Jesus was crucified. Along the rural roads in this country, sometimes you will see one cross on the side of a roadway indicating the location where someone died as the result of a car accident, but sometimes there are three.

[@oldgeezer3324]

Try Kenny Rogers 'Lucille'

[@robertwhite6248]

Hope your going to do more Angelina Jordan's,, but also hope you react to Martina Mcbride and her "CONCRETE ANGELS"

[@scottdarden3091]

Please watch George Strait Three Nails and a Cross Equals Forgiveness

[@dfusit]

Y’all need to get your own headphones, you are both missing half of the music in most of these songs. Loved this reaction.

[@michellecruce6708]

Love your reaction. Please check out his song I Told You so. I think yall will enjoy. Thanks in advance 😊

[@jasonf.knittle9612]

The preacher gave the bible to the hooker before he died that is what he left behind, hooker survives, it wasn't he time to go, It had such an impact on her that she got her life . At the end the preacher(not the same one)is telling the story about the three wooden crosses, holds up the blood stained bible for all of them to see and said bless the Farmer, the teacher and the preacher who gave this bible to my Mama (the Hooker) who read it to me read to me. Not sure if the mother/Hooker is dead now(many years later) but she left the blood stained bible to her so(the preacher telling the story, not the one that died on the bus)
