Jamey Johnson - In Color Reaction

[@LadyGator1983]

I absolutely love this song! In this song he refers to his old tailgunner Johnny McGee. My daddy’s name was Johnny McGee. Every time I hear this song I think of my daddy.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm only 2 generations removed from sharecroppers. Both my maternal and paternal grandparents were sharecroppers. Later in life, they got jobs in the Texas oilfields which was maybe better than sharecropping, but still very hard work. For people who lived through the depression, work was a blessing.

[@pamagnolia]

A simple, beautiful song!!! Goosebumps every time I hear this. 😊🌹🌹🌹

[@jrshelton3398]

This is one of my favorites. Reminds me of my papaw

My child(due date Feb 2) will only see a handful of old black and white pictures that survived over the years. It's so crazy to recall my childhood looking through old photo albums of our family in the late 80s-mid 90s. Actual photographs stuck under plastic. Blurry and beautiful. All lost to time and storage issues. Now if we take a bad picture we know instantly. We used to take our film rolls to a Kodak shop for development. I took a photography class in 1999, darkroom, chemicals, don't let light hit the film or it's fucked forever..... Now everything is digital and preserved. It's saturated too. We no longer live in those moments. I fear what we are preserving isn't capturing that feeling of living in the moment. We take pics all day long and selfies that are lost in the mountains of Instagram. ...can we just put it down for a minute. Right after we- .......SMASH that sub button for 👆

[@tashajackson]

So true, and congratulations on the baby!!!

[@michellehammock3023]

You are so right Tasha.

[@bynumite76]

I love this song so much. My parents were born in the 1920's and came of age through the Depression. It reminds me of them. Greatest Generation!

[@waymore4472]

I Grew up on Country Music and I Love your reactions and Love you!!! Great Job... I grew up on a Ranch and we didn't have electricity or running water, 5 of us lived in a two room house with kerosene lamps and a wood burning stove. We used Horses to pull a wagon to feed the cattle. We finally got electricity when I was about 10, It was a hard life but looking back, it was a great life, I'm 64 now and so glad I was raised the way I was!!!!!!! God Bless You...

[@jeffcobb2734]

Man, this song should remind all of you who are still lucky enough to have your grandparents around, go talk to them and ask them to tell you about the "good old days" because once they are gone those stories are also gone forever.

[@jayce711]

This is one of my all time favorite songs because I do remember my grandparents stories about the great depression, living in a rural southern town, and stories and photos of my grandfather and great uncles in WWII. Those generations paid our dues to be able to have a little but of a better life today and I always try to remember that I go throughout my life. Your reactions are always so great. I always love your comments. Keep on spreading the love of music! Oh and speaking of small rural town, Alan Jackson has a song Small Town Southern Man. If you haven't already, give it a listen.

[@conniekat3424]

My hubby is a big fan of Jamey Johnson & this type of country music...I call it sappy...only really like it when I'm drunk! 🤣 Love your commentary on this!

[@tashajackson]

Lol! Thank you twin 💕

[@billj918]

You are an old soul Tasha. Keep up the reviews and your honest and insightful comments.

[@jimroe1081]

Y'all are the sweetest folks! This is one of my favorite songs. God bless you ma'am!

[@tennesseesmith3281]

His Grandfather was a WW II pilot during the war. The bombers had two people in the plane and the person in the backseat would turn his seat and fire at enemy planes coming up from behind them. Hence, "He had my back".

[@miconis123]

I'll be turning 48 in the spring and my dad turned 50 when I was one month old so I got all these old stories.

[@karireynolds4820]

Such a great song writer!! He is definitely under rated.

[@ncorgubulone3066]

You should do Jamey Johnson's cover of "Four Walls of Raiford", it is amazing!

[@waltobringer2928]

I've always loved that song

[@sonjabarnett1754]

Such a good song. Check out High Cost of Living.

[@melissawilcox5285]

My husband loves this song.

[@michellehammock3023]

Great song and the video is well done.

[@geckoman1011]

Great reaction to a wonderful song.

[@nathanpullin467]

Glad I found you here

[@claytonwood1889]

I'm 54 years old I started working with my grandmother when I was 5 years old feeding chickens slopping the hogs. And putting out hay for the cows and collecting eggs

[@wrangler1957]

Yes i joined u here, i enjoy your reactions and your commentary hun.

[@sandrast.martin3613]

Wow...didn't realize you guys were in Atlanta...I'm just southwest of Atlanta in Sharpsburg (between Peachtree City and Newnan). I enjoy both of the channels!

[@rogerkelly7988]

Country music does it again a beautiful story told by a great artist and songwriter Jamey Johnson wrote the song Just Give It Away that George Strait recorded and went to number one

[@danielslover8669]

I absolutely love talking to elder people and just listening to their stories. I’m older now and most of my influences are gone. Every now and then, I’ll meet someone who blows my mind!

[@carolepalmer6329]

Earlier generations have a way of humbling us all. Well those that actually listen, and take those memories and create lessons

[@timl8302]

Very well said!!!👍

[@alanbarger7712]

Preach. You sre very truthful.

[@1lthrnk]

I wish I had the pictures from my grandparents. After grandma died about 10 years later, my grandpa got remarried. After he died, she threw all those years away. My family had to deal with the dust bowl also, FDR wasn’t particularly liked back then.

[@markbaker3013]

Thank you for sharing this with me today you are wonderful

[@tashajackson]

Mark, you are so kind! Thank you 💜

[@clintmoses957]

Most singers don’t writer their own lyrics Jamey Johnson has been writing/composing songs for stars for years.

[@rippinreaper6939]

This song is very well made so much heart n soul in this

[@rachelc8715]

We lost everything during Hurricane Katrina, house was nothing but a slab. And so now all we have is old black and white pics of my grandparents and parents when they were little ❤️ Family members have sent us a few that they’ve found here and there over the years but man, I wish we would’ve grabbed our pics and home videos.

[@crazydale1000]

I'm in my 70's.I certainly remember pictures in black and white. I have photos from Vietnam in black and white.

[@AlanLee-u1t]

Great love your new sight

[@randyjohnson6960]

pictures were once only taken at special occasions or planned events because of the costs: film,flash, film development etc.. plus old cameras were size of a microwave oven so cameras werent available 24/7 and remember the disappointment when you picked up your photo aft @ 3days to find most were over exposed,out of focus,off center, what changes the phone has brought us❤

[@danieljones3762]

Love your thoughts.

[@martinscalf114]

Tasha, I hope you and your husband have children because if they turn out like you and your husband they will be a blessing to you both and our country.

[@Harryed81]

Jamey Johnson is an amazing song writer. The band Steele just covered this song in tribute to Mr Johnson. If you'd like to enjoy a small reaction rabbit hole, I'd love to see you react to the band Steele and Bo Steele's hospital waiting room Acapella.

[@kevinkeys3578]

Our parents and grandparents lived lives LONG before we were even a glimmer - Depression and a World War? We live so easily! Worth the thanks and thought.

[@franwiththeredhair]

I know you from TNT and you can react to whatever you want in my eyes!!! ;-)

[@matty6711]

Great song, good story, as all real country should present. I may just be one of those crazy "conspiracy theorists, but I have a hunch we Americans are all about to "see it in color" Pray for your loved ones, and always stay humble and kind

[@Gutslinger]

8:44 "-in the snow. Up hill, both ways." - Dad told me the same thing when I was little, and I actually believed it. Lol Just turned 30 three days ago for reference of which generation was still telling that story.

[@tashajackson]

😂😂😂

[@stevejones4409]

Great song. A very wise commentary by you!!

[@picklefish74]

If you want to hear another Jamey Johnson song, listen to Ray Ray's Juke Joint.

[@Xringyx]

Love this song! I know im late to this party but if we are going on great country songs you should do Paint me a Birmingham by tracy lawerence or Almost home by craig morgan

[@Xringyx]

Or blank sheet of paper by tim mcgraw

Hard times make hard people. Hard people make soft times Soft times makes soft people. Soft people make hard times

[@daveholyoak3837]

Damon Bryan did you write that?

[@celinelovell4725]

He’s mostly a songwriter but has an awesome voice he’s wrote for George Strait

[@nestea8385]

If possible, could you check out the version that's actually video? It has so much more meaning.

[@pnwcruiser]

We certainly do have it easy here stateside but history suggests that can change quickly due to inevitable consequences of fiscal and monetary recklessness, among other things. People will rise to the occasion if they have to...because they will have no choice. Best of luck with your new channel Tasha. I predict success 😉

[@randallshuck2976]

You would be amazed by what you might be able to go through when there is no option. You will learn or lose and you have to do it pretty quick. The world is making noises like we might be headed back to those days. Nothing like a worldwide shutdown to set us up for catastrophic failure. My parents didn't save every plastic and glass container with a lid, bits of string, twist ties, etc because they were loony. They saved it because they had each lived through a 8 to 10 year span in their young adulthood when those basic supplies were not available and when they were the average person could not afford them. I hope we dodge it this time.

[@terryduncan31]

Those shades of gray cover a lot. People that haven't experienced hard times will never understand what some people went through. Old school people survived on next to nothing.

[@Scott65J]

so deep

[@ck-oy1ek]

Can you do more Waylon Jennings? I would it if you reacted to Waymore's Blues.

[@tashajackson]

Sure!

[@johnkendall6558]

@@tashajackson a cool one to do from Waylon is "Cedartown Georgia" - was thinking you're from Ga., (sorry if I'm mistaken)

Why didn't this video show the pictures in the end turning to color?

[@andrewk7616]

Hard not to feel this...this is American...not color and protesting

Factory girl Rhiannon Giddens is so beautiful if looking for something like that. American Flowers Birds Of Chicago, nightflower Allison Russell

[@kylesummers1565]

Watch the original music video please. So much more context. Peace, Love!

[@kenqb5450]

Chris Stapleton almost appears to be copying Jamey Johnson. "Playing the Part" is another great song by Jamey.

[@dauddysdream]

Also, please try Eric Church "Stick That In Your Country Song" He really speaks on there too! 🙏❤🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXK7ZousmbCFfM0
