Can't stress this enough, when you don't like today's country sound, it's a blessing finding diamonds in the rough like this guy.

100%!

Some's fast. Most are slow. But good nonetheless

[@doomguy8324]

Amen 🙏

[@justinhughes5908]

Myron Elkins and the dying breed is another good band with that old country vibe

[@DaneO0ooo]

The renewed sound of the past coming from these young men these days is just absolutely incredible and a breath of fresh air. We counting on y'all to do big things! Awesome track man. It's like southern country rock from the 70s mashed with a voice similar to the lead singer of Cage the Elephant and we get Hunter Root. Take my money when's the tour???? 🤣🤣 Gonna leave this here so whenever someone likes it I'm reminded to listen to it again.

[@theonearmcharm]

listen to Mimicking the Sun album, sounds similar to Alice in Chains if you ask me. New favorite man. Every song is incredible.

[@davidsmith5766]

crazy how good these young guys are thank god for social media and youtube we can hear great music

[@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239]

Sounds like they are rappers and simply took the music from another song and added new lyrics to it. Basically a weird al of country.

[@Danniedorito]

You always could before just had to go to a show, check out the local area. Shoot I got records from back in the day of STL MO blues from 60s and before. Good times. Still exists out there.

[@Danniedorito]

​​@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239 he's not rapping 😆 he's clearly playing a guitar and singing and seems to be a talented person. Don't hear any auto tune like quite a few rappers, pop music or even country pop. Try again and be a bit more respectful.

[@TheZeppelin14]

@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239 I don't where you came up with that statement but it couldn't be any further from the truth.

[@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239]

@@Danniedorito You are an idiot that doesn't know music. They ripped off the entire back track of that song from Ain't No Rest For the Wicked. And Rhyming is rapping you stupid cock sucker! AHHHH! Flex in your face bitch! BANG BANG!

This song is top notch. I just randomly clicked this vid in my algo and damn I so happy I did. Discovered a diamond.

[@ezrabolles5007]

Yessir

[@joshflint3992]

This song came on while I was snowboarding. Don't think I've ever caught a vibe so hard before. I hit 56 mph.

[@NateW_Outdoors]

I feel like if my childhood had theme song this is 100% it

[@curtis5653]

Absolutely 💯

[@liberatedhippything]

Ditto!!! Hit home with never been to a highschool dance I was in love with a bad romance... All the lyrics people around suffering... All your loved ones a mess. Someone ready to raise hell cuz you're using the jazz cabbage. Love it. Hunter used to play a lot in millersburg peace of mind Cafe. Hauck family are musically inclined and had success with having gems like hunter and peoples blues of Richmond TIM to play therapy. If you're in pa HIGHLY SUGGEST a visit there. I know Hunter was traveling last I heard. I assume he will be back.

Americana - storytelling through music, especially string based music Country music cones from an office nowadays, Americana comes from a fire pit in the woods.

[@YeetusYeetus-t5q]

Now I think we're even. 😂

[@shannonbee6511]

I guess I always assumed that line is about the gas station drug trend because of the “salts and spices” line. Remember bath salts & spice? I have a friend who had a psychotic episode induced by “spice” and it took her a whole year+ to recover.

[@scottjohnson9569]

LYRICS: Gettin’ drunk by the figure 8 Figure one more beer oughtta set me straight Young and carefree as a boy could be Whiskey, smokes, and LSD Railroad tracks run along the creek Walk em up and down in the summer heat Same ol’ boy changing like the seasons Country kid turned into a town rat heathen Daddy’s in jail for a dui Brothers in rehab a second time Fucked up on salts and spices of all kinds Legal drugs doing double damaged to your mind There must be greater forces at play Too big to see and impossible to say No one in life makes it out unscathed Aches and scars Now I think we’re even Country kid turned into a town rat heathen Gettin’ high by the covered bridge Granny find out gonna flip her lid Never did go to a high school dance I was in love with a bad romance Now I’m 28 with these aches and pains Pray to the devil now with each complaint No one in life makes it out unscathed Aches and scars Now I think we’re even Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
