Jamey Johnson - In Color (REACTION)

[@steve9199]

Country Music is often called... "Three chords, and the truth." Such amazing storytelling.

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

I've heard that said by B.B.King about the blue.

[@VincentAgostino-gy6hr]

Shit…I’m 71 years old and now I miss my grandparents… damn it!

[@chrisoakley5830]

Me too, I'm about to turn 58 years old and I miss my Grandparents immensely.

[@DAMHoo]

64 and the same

[@Justin-rm3ks]

I'm 33 come November. My grandfather was my best friend. Growing up, he passed away when I was young. Now I am a full-time caregiver to grandma. I am happy and blessed. But i miss everyday my grandfather

[@jasonstacy5587]

One of my favorite country songs of all-time. High Cost of Living is an absolute classic as well. He's a tremendous songwriter who unfortunately is suffering from effects of a TBI and hasn't been able to write much at all the last several years but still actively tours.

[@willbiles6033]

Just went to his concert and his voice is spot on and has some new songs! If you get the chance, don’t pass it up…. Go see and let Jamie preach to you.

[@davidpinion73]

Song writing at its best

[@williameller7002]

The high cost of living high is a banger by Jamie

[@2869may]

So is "That lonesome Song" and "Redneck side of me"

[@GeneralLao]

Guy is an amazing song writer.

[@jlynnburton9718]

After these years still my Favorite song by Jamey

[@bigrig4177]

This is literally the story of my grandfather's life. He grew up poor on a farm in Tennessee during the Great Depression. He met my Grandmother just before WWII while they both were serving in the Marine Corps. Yes my Grandmother was a Marine back then. My Grandfather fought behind enemy lines and earned the Silver Star. They were married for over 50 years and he loved her until the day he died.

[@janiswoolf2886]

Beautiful story of your grandparents I love to hear the old stories my route my father in 1943 was in World War II and he was shot in the stomach, but his buddy behind him shot the German . so this song always reminding my dad

[@joeyhenson6500]

Both of my grandparents grew up in TN during the Great Depression. I remember the government food subsidies showing up in the 60’s when I was a child.

[@LJ-yz4ob]

My daughter some years ago took me out for a drive. She played this song and we were both crying our ass off. Her hurt was real! Her best friend, he died from a stabbing helping his friend at a bar in Florence, Kentucky. They use to have life talks laying in the grass late at night. I can’t hardly listen to this song without hurting for my daughter. I’m crying now! Great review. 😢

[@giuseppemonaco9362]

This song was awarded the song of the year it came out! Unbelievable lyrics!

[@sqwatchman53]

I liked this song when it came out, after my pop pop passed away I love this song even though it brings me to tears every single time.

[@jeffmorrison2147]

Jamie Johnson High Cost of Living

[@starworld7343]

Love love this song and Jamey

[@EthanKandler-ti8px]

I’d never thought of the word proud used in the connotation that he used it, it was like an intense, immediate, visceral gut punch hearing it used in that manner. Beautiful.

[@lmd7340]

I truly believe that this is one of those very special songs - especially when you see it with the video - that transcends music genres. One doesn't have to be a country fan to appreciate this song. And I'm really glad that you guys decided to check it out. I love your channel, and I wish you two all the best!

[@welcomemachine6580]

Goddammit, I did NOT need to be tearing up today! But, thank you for reminding me how great this song is.

[@JoeandAngie]

Language.

[@brianwilson8119]

My favorite memories are sitting with my grandparents and going through old photo albums and learning my family's history. With today's digital world, it saddens me that many young people will never get to experience that.

[@toniturk5556]

This is the first reaction I've seen of you guys and I must say I'm a fan ❤

[@ML-un1oi]

First time hearing!! Will not be the last!! Great story told in song. That generation was the greatest generation, in my opinion!!! Excellent job, fellas !!!

[@nmockster5363]

This song always makes me think of my grandparents and brings tears to my eyes.

[@dustincowart6767]

That song came out like 20 years ago, and it still makes me tear up every time.

[@dianel222]

You know the song is great when you would listen to it with just a guitar & vocal. 💜💜💜

[@katherinedinwiddie4526]

My grandson sang this to me and my husband. Still cry over it! Thanks guys!

[@trudywolfe2795]

That is a mans voice for sure. What a powerful song. I love it. ❤❤❤❤

[@retiredfirelt586]

That first verse brought me to tears Bros... This was a feelings banger. 😢

[@carrielaliberte3255]

Great reaction! ❤ fantastic song, lyrically, guitar, story…. :)

[@RitaFeaster]

One of the best country songs ever IMHO.

[@T1625-w7d]

That is my granddad’s story. He grew up a sharecropper in East Texas. He served in WWII, and he married my grandmother and loved her till the day he died.

[@lawannahelms1138]

Im old you guys crack me up, keep listening you will discover great music

[@mzluna313]

When I was little any time I was at my mamaws house, I'd pull out all of the photo albums. I did that for years. What I didn't realize until I was older was the amount of joy it brought my mamaw and papaw when I asked questions about the pictures. I could see them going back to the memory. It initiated conversation. My mamaw would ask, "Honey do you remember....?" And then papaw would be off with the stories. Awesome song!

[@tjmasson1013]

Man fellas if a song can’t pair a picture. Brilliant song. JJ is top level song writer ✍️

[@rickyking1443]

I just want to say thanks to both of you for being open minded enough to even give this a listen. Great reaction. 👍🫵

[@robertreeves993]

Since you've opened that magical Country Music box and can appreciate a well written song/story, I'd love to suggest listening to (Hardy Wait In The Truck) feat: Lainey Wilson Incredible song

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

Wow what an amazing song and story. My grandma had many stories about the depression. Thank you both so much !

[@hollykane4000]

My fav country song. This needs blasted all over the internet

[@chadford8500]

How you listen to that and not want to cry? That's literally my families, and many of our family's stories. Doesn't matter if you are black, white, or brown or listen to country or not, that song is the story of our ancestors lives. The American experience.

[@x19fan1]

Damn…I’m colorblind. I wish I could see it in color. Many wish for riches- I dream of seeing the fall colors…

[@denisetowe895]

LOVE Jamey Johnson and this song! He can tell a story like no one else and the tone of his voice just grabs you! You should check out his song “I Remember You” ❤

[@CarlJohnson-rh6uz]

I love this song as I feel I am that grandson. I don't remember grandma or grandpa ever talking about it but I am sure they lived through the depression and my grandfather was stationed in the Philippines during WW2. My grandparents had a picture on the fireplace mantle with grandpa is his military suit and grandma in a dress from their wedding that looks almost Identical to the one in the video.

[@jewsbad]

Awesome song writer, he's got a bunch of them, he's another one that gave the opry the finger and went Outlaw Country.

[@nick_t_013]

This is top 10 greatest songs of all time in my opinion

[@olly8]

Excellent reaction! Jamey's lyrics are like hitting the main vein. Takes your breath away. And so deep! Have a great weekend, Bros. This was a banger 💥✌🏼

[@RitaMae13]

Love me some Jamey Johnson ❤

[@sailinbob11]

Simple but profound.

[@sherylmichael4754]

My dad, my Father-in-Law and my son, all served in the military. This song expresses the emotion and realization of their lives when they came home. I don't know where Jamey got his passion from, but he did GOOD.

[@MelissaDalehite-ey4bu]

He's great. NO DENYING!!!!😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@26milez]

I'm never going to see a black and white photo the same again. Good one guys.

[@vetrnbordr]

Jamey Johnson is a US Marine Corps veteran. If you want a song that tugs at you, listen to his 21 Guns.

[@karenwalsh1143]

I'm so happy to see Jamey Johnson on the channel ❤ I keep requesting this song to other reactors and... nothing! Well it's their loss😮

[@TexasMagnolia]

Oh My….So Excited!! Y’all are hearing one of Nashville’s best Songwriters! Jamey’s semi-autobiographical song “High Cost of Living” is a Must-Powerful song. Thank you for a Country listen.

[@AngieandBoomer]

I’ve met the man that wrote this song and the story behind it is just amazing!! ❤

[@Bitty4479]

Such a beautiful song, country music never disappoints with the story telling, its always epic!!

[@seanwoods4883]

This whole album is BARZZZZZZZ

[@JanisSampson-d7u]

Love this song! Makes me think of my grandparents. He's a great story teller

[@johnathanstruble1064]

[@konstancemoore4883]

[@AirplayBeats]

Country has bars for sure!! Thanks for rocking with us!!

[@scenicrouteart]

Thanks for reacting to Jamey Johnson! What a fantastic singer/songwriter! You would love all his albums! All bangers! The Chair was made popular by George Strait.

[@stephanthibodeaux8423]

I’ve never seen anyone else get this, but in the first 2 verses he’s describing the hardships of his life telling you he was scared, the 3rd verse he starts actually describing the colors in the photo bc he’s emphasizing how proud he is of that moment. Really wishing they could have been there and seen it.

[@nimroddiaries_]

Much love fellas. One of the best country songs. God bless you and yours. ❤🙏

[@ZackHamlin1]

Knew you guys would love this one. Big time classic.

[@wordword6039]

I used to ask my x father in law about WW2, Korea and Vietnam. He lived it all. I was mezmorized...Okinawa in 1945 then Korea and Vietnam. Marines for 30 years. THAT was a life

[@pennyhill7680]

May I suggest , Take Me Home❤, thanks for a fantastic reaction. Love that you enjoyed this beautiful song. Thank you for sharing this video❤ God Bless🌹

[@2869may]

"THAT LONESOME SONG", ''REDNECK SIDE OF ME'' and "HIGH COST OF LIVIN" are Absolute Bangers....!

[@dvd4802]

This song reminds me of what my grandparents and great grandparents had to go through so i can be standing here today

[@popaof3]

[@andrewward9183]

[@mrnobody9104]

Beautiful tune, gets ya right in the feels!

[@kylesummers1565]

Great Song! Peace, Love!!

[@757optim]

Jamey is a great singer-songwriter. When George Strait recorded his song "Give It Away", a lot of people learned who he was for the first time. I like "Between Jennings and Jones". So danged clever - and pretty accurate. : )

[@davidpinion73]

One word......damn

[@Big_Al_63]

WOW! That shit rocked without rockin! 💯🤘🤘🤘

[@LeciaPurks]

This is one of my favorites. Like you said, simple but oh so powerful. Great reaction guys.

[@RAID3R63]

This song gets me every time

[@quintondees4501]

This one is 🔥

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

Well that made me tear up. Glad I listened to it. The lyrics were hard, somehow made me think of Motorhead's ballad 1916, so hard, so simple, direct.

[@vonashaffer]

Always a tearjerker. Love your reaction to the lyrics! ❤

[@konstancemoore4883]

“Can’t see what those shades of gray keep covered” THAT IS AMAZING

[@AirplayBeats]

That’s a bar!!

[@nicolefagala3270]

Just saw him in Charleston SC with Darius Rucker 2 weeks ago. Just so great!! Sounds just like this!

[@elizabethseals2001]

This song always gives me chills. I love this song.

[@michaelphipps8647]

Great Reaction got my sub!

[@davidmark7785]

The story of color is everything in between when it comes to life

[@louiscanada2759]
