Jamey Johnson - High Cost Of Living (REACTION)

[@kellahella5286]

Jamey Johnson is the real deal.

[@dianel222]

Took me until my mid 40’s to give country music a chance. Living in Chicago, it just wasn’t cool and I thought it wouldn’t have any relevance for my life. 💜💜💜 But the singer/songwriters are some of the best storytellers.

[@austin3873]

Totally agreed. And most of the time the songs have a good message, unlike a lot of the other genres

[@SLOCLMBR]

Ol Jamey has a way of it

[@missshirley9893]

When Jamey sang this in Ft Smith AR... Every person in that crowd...sang at the top of their lungs ...with feeling!

[@JeromyMalone]

Jamey Johnson is in my opinion one of the greatest story tellers of all time

[@CassSanchez-k4d]

I was fortunate enough to travel North America as a professional athlete for 25 years When still 16 years old, a black athlete, probably late 20s , gave me a place to stay while in Layfette Louisiana, I did see things he had to deal with being from the deep south that I had not experienced I was raised in the Rocky Mountains, This was the early 70s But my family was truly color blind, I’m so grateful for that I subscribed, Good honest discussions

[@MrAWL94]

3:07 "take the colors out" we all bleed red at the end of the day.

[@jamesgallaway3518]

Jamey Johnson is the truth

[@Michael-mv3kc]

And he just got locked up for drug possession. Ironic lol

[@brianbelle-vc7ow]

You guys insight to the music is awesome! And yes we are all more of the same than we are different!

[@danmayberry1185]

Don't know him, but I like his Kristofferson brain.

[@wgj4everlong426]

Kristofferson is the greatest songwriter ever.Jamey is among the top 3 songwriters of this century.Check out more of him, you won’t regret it. maybe start with Can’t Cash My Check

[@endoraismygma]

I wish more people would react to this song. My favorite from Jamey. Thanks so much y'all great reaction.

[@matthechler5718]

That song reminds me of how many friends died from drugs and how few recovered

[@williameller7002]

Mowing Down the Roses is great !!!

[@jasonstacy5587]

Yes, the story is true. Jamey lived through some dark times in his past.

[@jjayp1]

It's partly true

[@TexasMagnolia]

Thank You for reacting to Jamey Johnson!!! I wish I could hit 👍 1,000 times. So much greatness in Country Music. It’s all storytelling and most from real life. Nothing off limits.

[@Mike-ji9jl]

Wow….soooo…..cool you guys have an open mind about music

[@burnie394]

One of the best reactions to this song I’ve seen. 46 yr old high school teacher and football coach here. We have so much more in common that different. Give BlackBerry Smoke ‘One Horse Town’ a shot

[@jamesjohnston1935]

Gentlemen, this is Outlaw Country.

[@SLOCLMBR]

'Between Jennings and Jones' is another great one.

[@Pcytripper]

When the song is telling a truth, it doesn't matter what kind of music is behind it.. be it fiddle or an 808.

[@RAW2881]

Yes Jamey lived this true story!

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Jamey Johnson. The Truth.

[@jealousjelly1]

Love Jamey Johnson's music. He looks a lot different now than he did when he was a Marine Corps officer.

[@Im_Old_Gregg]

He wasn't an officer but he did serve in the Marine Corps

[@jamesdowdy8771]

True story

[@adk100m]

Astute observations as always, fellas. Been wanting to check this dude for awhile--will go deeper. Great awareness that music transcends everyone--relevant to everyone. Good job.

[@jeffmodlin4195]

Great reaction, you guys are spot on. We have way more in common than the media wants people to think. Keep hitting the country videos. Thee chords and the TRUTH. Peace!

[@jamesbyars4474]

One day, we'll realize we're not as different as we think. God bless that day.🙏

[@duckconway1789]

Jamey is a south Bama guy. He has lived a colorful life (including jail time) he is a great songwriter. He is great!

[@Im_Old_Gregg]

I grew up on county music in rural Oklahoma and what drew me to rap in the 90s was just what you were talking about. It was real. They were talking about their real lives. Its just genuine.

[@keithjames7843]

Country music is the realist music that anyone can listen to Because it’s mainly stories about people’s lives and their experiences they’ve been through Country music and the Blues both came from gospel music and that’s why it’s so relatable and makes you feel the music

[@BM-hb2mr]

Ray Ray's Juke Joint. Jamey Johnson. Enjoyable song. Great reaction as usual gentlemen.

[@SLOCLMBR]

I know where that place is! Ya take a right at the stump with the barbed wire in it where the ol church used to be!

[@grandpaslayer6232]

There are a ton of country singers that rock . Glad to see you going down the country road . #ROCKON

[@vailashayes5494]

I was the 1000th like and glad to see it

[@teresamcclendon9029]

I don't trust anyone who doesn't listen to country music🙋❤❤❤❤❤🎼🎼🎼😎

[@Jimwood-k5r]

Great singer and awesome song

[@donaldmillsap6413]

I've never heard of him till now. Thank yall I've got to dive in my friends!!! Love ya'll's reactions especially RUSH!!! I didn't get into them until about 1978 and WOW!!! My first Rock band was KISS and they were something different!!! But I'll be diving into Jamey for sure!!! ✌️🤟🤘

[@Arnie63]

Best reaction ever...FACTS...Thank you

[@RobertCarriker-ov4tc]

If you haven’t done the reaction to in color by Jamie Johnson, that’s a real touching as well.

[@AirplayBeats]

We did that one. It should pop up at the end of this video

[@joeyhenson6500]

Souls are all connected.

[@SteveWalsh-qm3tk]

Jamey Johnson lived it and sings about it, the real McCoy

[@BM-hb2mr]

This is a true story. I come across yalls videos on In Color then the ol Algo took me here. I subscribed. Great reaction

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

I love the stories so the country music tales. This was a great great one thanks guys. Have a good weekend.

[@AirplayBeats]

Enjoy your weekend as well!!

[@1962egl]

One of the best vinyl albums i have. So dynamic

[@OlGrim9]

"Sober" is one of his new songs that's pretty damn good too, for his older I'd go "between jennings and jones"

[@JeromyMalone]

Gentlemen I am doing the same thing you are just in reverse I'm a country and rock fan just now giving rap and hip-hop a chance I'm in my 50s and you are right we are the same

[@JayyeStone]

Great reaction to a great tune

[@julietate7806]

Y'all wanna really dig deep? Check out anything by Townes van Zandt. He wrote "Pancho & Lefty," recorded by Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard. Townes wrote a song about homelessness, one of the most devastating issues that face our country, that'll break your heart. It's called "Marie." Another great one is "Rake." He died way too young, from having bipolar disorder and using substances to ease his pain. There's also a great documentary about him on youtube.

[@jimmeyer9106]

100% we're all the same. Every man has struggles, not just with their surroundings, but with your own mind. Demons aren't picky haha, they dont pick you out cause you're black, white, gay, blue, green...they don't care, and everyone has to fight them at some point.

[@AirplayBeats]

Facts!!

[@choboy6238]

Fire comment

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

It’s true Life is hard for all of us

[@cregbranum9]

Free Jamey Johnson

[@payn0123]

Yes!!!!!!!

[@jewsbad]

This is the Song that made me a fan of his for life,i was loosing a lot of friends around this time to Speed balls, a Speep and heroin mix

[@mortyduke7677]

Everyone is living the same life .. we just say it in a different way

[@danielslover8669]

Y’all got to check out “That Lonesome Song “ by him! I think it’s my favorite Jamey Johnson song, and he has some great ones.

[@alancrabtree2065]

You guys do this reaction genre justice. Went down the Zepplin rabbit hole with you and a few others. I listen to a lot from Metal to punk, rap to rockabilly. I can hardly listen to modern country, it lost its soul somewhere. Grew up on old country from my grandparents. I love that feel and sound. Jamey is one of those few that gets it. Great lyrics and a voice to match. His band kicks ass also. Waylon Jennings is a legend with a unique sound, voice and Guitar. Give him a listen you will be impressed.

[@wordword6039]

He did a stint in the Marine Corps. Continued to write songs etc. and yes he's been to jail.

[@tjmasson1013]

JJ is one helluva song writer

[@ML-un1oi]

First time hearing this. Excellent reaction, fellas 😊❤👏🙏

[@jaybraddock2350]

Yes this is a true story he wrote it while in prison.

[@757optim]

Jamey Johnson, "Between Jennings & Jones". Jamey wrote the George Strait hit, "Give It Away".

[@georgetitsworth7991]

You got that right Brothers! I love your reviews! We all have a lot in common! You see a lot of rich white people but most of us are no different or better off!

[@michaelkrohn3808]

Only time I do the "n" word is when I'm listening to music, in my head. But yeah, we all are having a cookout. Don't let them say a pass isn't valid (I don't know one person that added raisins to anything) we also have spices. I love this channel

[@usertr13phinsup]

TRUTH

[@markharbin9945]

Great song writer 😮

[@nosparex]

Jamey always gets your attention. Give "Lead Me Home" a try. It's a little more somber, but you'll appreciate his talent just the same. Do the live performance video from Live at Farm Aid 2021.

[@treydog317]

You guys should check out Billy Joe Shaver. Great country singer/songwriter. Waylon Jennings did a whole album of his songs. Try “lowdown freedom” or “Georgia on a fast train”

[@annietrahan7322]

My best friend’s husband was a roadie and he said Jamey Johnson is wild. He would fight every night and party.

[@sandyshoenberger2697]

You should listen to Ain't Livin' Long Like This by Waylon Jennings. imo, he was one of the greats. Great story song.

[@sheilasisk7550]

Great one. This is a new one for me but it’s a great one

[@jasonstacy5587]

I knew y'all would dig this. The album is called That Lonesome Song and you should check out the title track. It's like Waylon Jennings reborn imo. Also, the prison guard at the start is the steel guitar player for Jamey.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Jamey is great & this is a powerful song. For another amazing country song/artist with a shocking story, check out Hardy's song 'Wait in the truck'. You won't be sorry. I promise.

[@WilliamGuess-ns6th]

Best Hook ever written!

[@susiedawson3349]

Great review. I am not a fan of country music at all but they write great storytelling songs. Guys, I would love to see you review the video of Amy Lee singing Zep's Going to California. My mind was blown watching and hearing her sing it. Love all your reviews and perspectives on different genres of music. If you want to hear a great country storytelling song, I highly recommend Harper Valley PTA video made in the late 60's. Love your channel and I check it everyday for new content. 🥰

[@donttreadonme9076]

Please react to his video "Playing the part"! I think you'll love everything about it.

[@konstancemoore4883]

Country has bars I swear lol

[@DM-hk4cw]

The lyrics remind me of "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Kris Kristoferson.

[@mark-be9mq]

Glenn Campbell, Witcha Lineman

[@missshirley9893]

Real shit

[@Booderman]

This is Southern Rock ! Listen to Brantley Gilbert “ Kicking it in the sticks” !

[@mattrotton]

Lead Me Home next by Jamie Johnson. You'll see another side of his

[@wordword6039]

Preaching

[@brianjohnston6907]

It's not just a true story unfortunately it's a lot of people's story.

[@WilliamGuess-ns6th]

I Prayed My Last Prayer!

[@pamhines1748]

Listen to his don’t Lead me Home PLEASE!

[@gregmoore3952]

Four Walls of Raiford, Skynyrd cover live version is excellent by Jamey Johnson

[@MonicaDBrini]

I would love for y’all to dig into some bluegrass some day!

[@tinakeith5822]

Check out this cowboy’s hat by Chris Ledoux. Shows how similar we are!

[@jaycornell6089]

Make sure you try some jamey johnson live at farm aid

[@TexasMagnolia]

Next - Lead Me Home (live from Farm Aid)

[@oakland-as-diehard6717]

You should check out his song “ Between Jennings and Jones “ another great story telling song.

[@keithferguson9014]

Check out his song “my saving grace”

[@MyDadsRubberBroke]

Check out Jamey Johnson “Give It Away”

[@vailashayes5494]

A record label canceled his first album when he got arrested

[@ronaldackerman7383]

Yes, this was his story.But what saved him was that he was a d*** good songwriter.If it wasn't for that he would just go back to prison.Thank you guys for your reaction

[@smalltowntexian6239]

Man I wanna see you guys react to Brantley Gilbert and Jelly Roll's song Son of the Dirty South! Y'all'd like it!

[@jasontaylor6005]

Do 4 Walls of Raiford by Jamey Johnson

[@Unclesmokey314]

You two ABSOLUTELY need STURGILL SIMPSON!!!!!!

[@markharbin9945]

We have more incomin than we have different 😮

[@-c-no-8795]

I think yall will like the song, can't cash my checks, another truth song.

[@AncientWisdomTeachingsLLC]

❤

[@smalltowntexian6239]

If y'all wanna hear some good stuff, check out Cody Johnson....you won't regret it!!

[@RobertCarriker-ov4tc]

I don’t think Jamie Johnson did. This one is called Tennessee whiskey. There’s three versions of Tennessee whiskey. The original version is by David Allan Coe, the second version is by George Jones and the third version I can’t remember who did it it might be Chris Stapleton, but it’s got a great great one of the third one.
