Oliver Anthony Music August 17 at 11:13 AM · It's been difficult as I browse through the 50,000+ messages and emails I've received in the last week. The stories that have been shared paint a brutally honest picture. Suicide, addiction, unemployment, anxiety and depression, hopelessness and the list goes on. Im sitting in such a weird place in my life right now. I never wanted to be a full time musician, much less sit at the top of the iTunes charts. Draven from RadioWv and I filmed these tunes on my land with the hope that it may hit 300k views. I still don't quite believe what has went on since we uploaded that. It's just strange to me. People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don't want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don't want to play stadium shows, I don't want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place. So that being said, I have never taken the time to tell you who I actually am. Here's a formal introduction: My legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford. My grandfather was Oliver Anthony, and "Oliver Anthony Music" is a dedication not only to him, but 1930's Appalachia where he was born and raised. Dirt floors, seven kids, hard times. At this point, I'll gladly go by Oliver because everyone knows me as such. But my friends and family still call me Chris. You can decide for yourself, either is fine. In 2010, I dropped out of high school at age 17. I have a GED from Spruce Pine, NC. I worked multiple plant jobs in Western NC, my last being at the paper mill in McDowell county. I worked 3rd shift, 6 days a week for $14.50 an hour in a living hell. In 2013, I had a bad fall at work and fractured my skull. It forced me to move back home to Virginia. Due to complications from the injury, it took me 6 months or so before I could work again. From 2014 until just a few days ago, I've worked outside sales in the industrial manufacturing world. My job has taken me all over Virginia and into the Carolinas, getting to know tens of thousands of other blue collar workers on job sites and in factories. Ive spent all day, everyday, for the last 10 years hearing the same story. People are SO damn tired of being neglected, divided and manipulated. In 2019, I paid $97,500 for the property and still owe about $60,000 on it. I am living in a 27' camper with a tarp on the roof that I got off of craigslist for $750. There's nothing special about me. I'm not a good musician, I'm not a very good person. I've spent the last 5 years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it. I am sad to see the world in the state it's in, with everyone fighting with each other. I have spent many nights feeling hopeless, that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away. That being said, I HATE the way the Internet has divided all of us. The Internet is a parasite, that infects the minds of humans and has their way with them. Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweat shops in a foreign land. When is enough, enough? When are we going to fight for what is right again? MILLIONS have died protecting the liberties we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift. Never in world history has the world had the freedom it currently does. Don't let them take it away from you. Just like those once wandering in the desert, we have lost our way from God and have let false idols distract us and divide us. It's a damn shame.

Real music from the soul. Hits me every time.

[@fredamedic2000]

I have listened to several of his songs and. They are all very real, raw, and emotional. You should react to his songs"I've gotta get sober" "Ain't got a dollar" and "Virginia"

[@williamr1453]

Great reaction. Really appreciate your broad perspective here. 👍

[@IMMoreThanUSee]

Gotta do more Tom MacDonald!!! Ya got some catching up to do 😂 !! Also his collabs with Adam Calhoun. Good to see you back!! "I wuddn't ready"! Lol

[@JaronBellLive]

On it!

[@christianpcassidy3753]

Great song, with a unifying message and sung with such passion of the soul. "Real Music" Thanks! #OliverAnthonyMusic

[@MF_Reinhold]

I want that hat!!! I have a 9 week old rescue squirrel!

[@donnarussell4217]

Yes please. Payments VCR KID'S Stuck living in the new world Doggon it I want to go home Virginia l gotta get sober Rich man's gold Hell on Earth by Oliver Anthony

[@lisabarnum2374]

His song Doggone it needs more reactions. We need to keep him relevant. He actually defends the poor.

[@catsinstall]

Took eleven months to find your reaction, worth the wait. I found Chris a couple of months ago and I will be continuing to find everyone who connects with this song inspired and promoted by God just to see that I am not alone. The dogs obviously hear this alot in the song "feelin purty good" he locks them out and they all sing along, at the end of the song he gives them their flowers.

[@DevonXlee]

Chris (oliver Anthony is his grandfather, he said he wanted to pay respect to him by naming his music after him) has only been putting out music since 2021 as a means of helping his mental health. I love that he opens all his live shows by reading Scripture out of his personal Bible. He said he recently came to God after hitting rock bottom...now look at how the good Lord is using him!

[@irmern]

React to "I wanna go home" I could feel him and brought tears to my eyes. Especially now that I've dug into his background and know what this man has been thru

[@JaronBellLive]

Will do

[@walterclyde5571]

When you read the Bible verse at the end of “I wanna go home” keep in mind he turned down $8 million record deal…

[@tammymcavoy3541]

listen to I want to go home

[@tammymcavoy3541]

yes please do more

[@rickoehlerking9806]

Good review bro. 🙏🇺🇸

[@donaldromesburg1902]

Sir , can you answer a question for me , does this song have a backing track ?

[@JaronBellLive]

Yes I think so, But it sounds like a simple recording and then they played it back to make the video. I could be wrong but it sounds like they recorded it and made the video which is basically the way that its done for almost every artist I know! It sounds great whatever they did. Hope that helps. Appreciate your support on my channel.

[@AZWARBEAR]

Great reaction

[@JaronBellLive]

Hey thanks!

[@cheridampier2524]

Good to back here with you! He's just out there spitting truths . Give Mrs Bell a howdy from us!( We love her for making you look so happy these days )

[@JaronBellLive]

I appreciate that

[@juliat178]

Keto, baby! You’ll be a new man…
