Oliver Anthony - Momma's Been Hurting

[@TexanHeaven]

“Don’t let this country I love die so young” …. From your voice to God’s ears.

[@alasdairblackmore2592]

Trump isn't God ...

[@ACDCrockingroll]

Amen

[@dv2033]

"Of thee I sing"

[@mikehenson819]

This is folk music from a real man who refuses to sell out to the industry. My hats off to him, because he values his soul more than money and fame.

[@OliverAnthony-1]

"Would you like to sing with me on stage sometime? I'd love to have you as a special guest!"❤

[@Logtruckife]

The first time i listend to richmen north of richmond i kind of liked it. Now after a year i understand more of what he is about. Thank you oliver anthony for this music

[@MelanieWeed77]

He has that old Appalachia sound. It's deep & soulful, with a hint of mourning to it. In a way, it makes me sad. Maybe it's just me being too emotional. Good music brother man! Good music!

[@OliverAnthony-1]

"just wanted to say thanks🙏 for being an amazing fan! I'm honoured to have you on this journey with me."

[@Odetojoyous]

Oliver is a prophet and a poet, and a humble guy. Ty❤

Real country music is not down in Nashville. It's right here.

[@viracocha03]

Check out Benjamin Todd (if you have not heard him before) for more real and amazing country.

[@ZiqM4]

It's in every man and womans heart that dares speak up.

[@johnbagewll2321]

@@viracocha03don’t downplay this real though. This young man is telling a story. I’m well over 1/2 century old.

[@Bordemstrikes]

You’re speaking some real truth 💯 mainstream country is trash imo. It’s guys like Oliver Anthony, Jamie Johnson and Aaron Lewis today that’s real country music.

[@allenstclair-kg9up]

I get the sentiment. There is a lot of "pop" country in music city but there is some very real country, in and coming from nashville. Theres more to Nashville than just music row, but in a lot of those honky tonks you can and will find just this! Remember country wouldnt be what it is w/out Nashville and the mother church!!

[@katlookingup3625]

Excellent! Keep singing young man, America needs you💕🇺🇸💕

Rich Men North of Richmond and Mamma’s Been Hurting reserves Oliver Anthony’s place in music history. An original artist that others will be judged by. I hope there will be a documentary made in the future of him as a man and his musical style inspired by God.

[@papismom]

Omg!!! Right!!! I would love to see something like that about him!!! He's such a genuine, real, down to earth man.

If you have never heard him before you have to listen to his other song Rich Men North of Richmond. He put it out last summer and is just as profound. He has more music to check out that is awsome as well but that one, and now this one will be remembered for a long time for people of ALL walks of life.

This song hit me in a spot not many songs can. Thank you Oliver.

I think there’s a lot of Christian mommas out there thinking about the world we are leaving for our children. I know I certainly am. I grieve for my children and the pain they will have to feel going through this world. I pray for mine as often as I can, and I pray that though they may be in the world, that they won’t be alone in it. That God would chase after them, go before them and behind them and be their God. That way, they too can overcome the world ❤
