Oliver Anthony's Revolution Song Of Our Generation "Rich Men Of North Richmond"

[@manbumps]

I honestly think he just speaks for the low and middle class that have to get by paycheck by paycheck. Love his voice and passion.

[@neldadavis2793]

3 minutes of honesty and passion. Love this guy.

[@TheHOWLER45]

His words in this song, slaps people in the face like a mom would. Powerful and real.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

hahaha

[@claudeknowltonactor]

He's RAW and FRESH...it's so refreshing to see a true artist performing without all the studio bells and whistles .

[@toniwasacha1495]

Thank you--it's authentic and raw.

[@michaelriddick7116]

The "young men" line breaks my heart everytime 💔💔 😢😭😭😭😭

[@kelseyreed1315]

I agree 👍 💯 the fact that we still have men like this is good

[@CharlesDavis-gw8fu]

Kudos on the great review, extra bonus for showing Aint Got a Dime, great song too

[@michelletaylor9278]

Thanks for a very thoughtful & intelligent review & reaction. Thoroughly enjoyed listening. Love the song! Hits you right between the eyes at the start & then heads straight to the gut, for sure. And the fact that it’s so short & not a long winded rant or lecture makes you wanting more.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Mmm... love that - straight to the point, you're right.

[@sporttiger1766]

You win the reactions to this song.

[@IgorVladimer]

I agree with this man, totally.

[@ChristaFree]

He has an introductory video on his channel that tells you exactly how he feels about politics. He put it out the day before the song was released. He thinks both sides serve the same master and neither are good for the people. He turned down multimillion dollar contract. Said he doesn't want 6 tour busses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. He's fine in his 27" rv with a tarp on it that he bought from Craigslist for $750. He doesn't want to play big stadiums or be in the spotlight. They were just hoping to get 300k views lmao. He certainly got that. He's playing another little venue in Virginia this weekend. It sold out in 2 minutes. Lol He's the real deal. It's classic American folk music straight out of Appalachia. Poetic. A resonator guitar or dobro. Used traditionally in American folk music. Ain't got a dollar is great. Being happy without all the luxuries. Just enjoying ourselves. We don't need money to be happy.

[@joanneshelton9658]

Great analysis!!

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

🙏

[@neldadavis2793]

OMG the love the second song.

[@williamr1453]

Great reaction(s) and perspective. I wholeheartedly agree. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Thanks so much

[@gracecase998]

He is singing Appalachian music. Finally people can relate to it.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Its not country? Are they similar? Clearly I need an education on this...my bad

[@gracecase998]

@@MarcDanielPatrick well today's country is more pop sound with twang. Traditional country is a blend of this style with a little more Memphis blues mixed in. Think steal guitar honky tonkish. This is more a bluegrass style some country originates here. Whatever it is, I like it. No worries:)

[@NYBwilk]

We get taxed on money that is already taxed , we the people need to stand up , people in Hawaii fires get $700 and Ukraine gets millions , make it make sense

[@zynark777]

During the Arabic Spring there was a pattern. Whenever 40% of average income had to go to just food, the riots began.

[@panteafarsijani9518]

I loved the bonus song. Ain't got a dollar

[@tobyschoonover]

The parts about welfare are so off base though. We have to stop punching down, the problem is corporate welfare, the defense industry, and fossil fuel subsidy.

[@lisawoodward2399]

SPITTIN FACTS!!!!

[@Wildflower687]

As a staunch leftist, I could care less what side of the aisle this guy identifies with. All I know is this song speaks to me so deeply, regardless of his or my political leaning, and I think that's the genius of the song.

[@sannichick]

It's a Gretsch Responder Guitar

[@grandmakaren4680]

Give his song Virginia a listen.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

going now...

[@BuckyBoba]

Dang! On a Dobro!

[@thesios]

I'm still watching for the second song. That guitar is a type of steel guitar called a resonator.

[@MrSexoda]

I believe " Virginia " is the only other song that was recorded with a quality camera and mic.....the rest are with his phone ....all of them are incredible.

[@sporttiger1766]

Virginia is REALLY GOOD. A LITTLE light hearted than this

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

🙏

[@markweisman3662]

He's playing a Gretsch resonator guitar ... aka dobro

[@sarahjones3754]

He's playing a dobro. Maybe not a Dobro brand though.

[@colleenosburn-sapp3201]

The guitar is called a dobro, a resonator

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

🙏

[@FreakMagnet66]

The other went viral due to it's politically undertones.... Love this guy

[@kevinbruno5677]

You are late here, D! 😁😁

[@MindSSetMedia3241]

You got the title of the song wrong. Rich men north of Richmond,,the least you can do is get the name of the song correct bro wow..

[@s-anderson]

The Taylor Swift shade seems a little uncalled for. No one is forcing people to go to a concert they cant afford. 35 million people wanted tickets, lots didn't get them (myself included). Not sure how the capitalistic monopoly of ticketmaster, the scammy-ness of bots and scalpers, and insane demand is Taylor Swift's fault. What exactly would you say she do about it?

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

Taylor swift is the one allowing ticket master to sell her tickets for those prices mate. Not like she's selling them for retail and ticket master just somehow buys all of them the second they go on the market. She is the middleman

[@s-anderson]

You obviously aren't informed as to how the ticket marketplace works. Ticketmaster as a company has exclusive rights deals with all the stadiums she is playing in. Therefore if she wants to play in those venues, she has no choice but to use ticketmaster to sell those tickets. this is what i'm talking about with a monopoly. She is not the one responsible for tickets being bought on ticketmaster for the original price of anywhere from $80 for a normal ticket to $500 (for VIP packages), and being resold on secondary sites for $3000+. The bots and scalpers are the middlemen you speak of, working the system to swipe up tons of seats and reselling them for outrageous prices.@@krotchlickmeugh627

[@robertofont6069]

Well, Marc, know that I will watch whatever you present and I watched this in its entirety. I will say, not to your surprise, that raspy country voices just don’t appeal to my ear. Yes, I believe he believes in what he is singing and it is obviously heartfelt. I just don’t care for a pinched, strained voice in the upper register. His chords are simple which counter a profound message. Would I choose to listen to or watch him? No, this one video was enough for me. That said, I always appreciate you exposing me to a variety of music. Regardless of his message, the voice is too distracting for me. Hope I am able to remain in your class. Either way, I thank you.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Wouldn't expect any other response from your end Roberto. You're looking for a much more trained and perfected vocal quality, however I will say, for the lane and genre of music hes in - he is right on track.

[@donnarussell4217]

Doggon it by Oliver Anthony

[@pingidjit]

For such a short song, he dedicates 3 lines to being misinformed and attacking people on welfare. Dude, if you got a point about greedy rich people wanting control over all of us, why the heck did you swerve off onto welfare folks? That right there ruins any point this dude may have been trying to make.

[@panteafarsijani9518]

I loved the bonus song. Ain't got a dollar
