SO SWEET!| FIRST TIME HEARING Cal Smith - Country Bumpkin REACTION

[@catfishandcoleslaw]

Amber, don’t feel bad- I’m 56 and have heard this song no less than 100 times and tear up every time. A whole life story in less than 2 minutes. That’s good country!! Love y’all!!

[@Nite37]

I too am 56, this was my dad's favorite sad song. And yes, I always tear up when I hear it.

[@mao2233]

Me, too. I am a 62 year old man and this song makes me cry every time. So sweet and so sad.

[@TexasRivermedic]

52 here and yes, so many times

[@tammyclay62]

Me too.

[@williamchapman9826]

54 here and it still brings a tear to my eye, kind of like Blake Sheldon's "The Baby"

[@chuckles5163]

82 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STILL LOVE "COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dubyabee7963]

Another good song by Cal Smith is "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking."

[@shirleybuffington6420]

Sorry miss spelled it is the lord knows I’m Drinking and yes that is a really good song

[@tonyaspain6269]

Yes!! Love that song!!

[@MrHondaguy1]

Great Song!!

[@MariaChristinaBari]

Awww, Amber’s the sweetest ! 🥹

[@berlyn3014]

This is one of my favorite older country songs. Two of my favorite things about this song are that no matter how many times I hear this song I have a mini movie playing in my mind and also I've yet to be able to hear it and not tear up.

[@garyfarrell954]

check out "the lord knows i'm drinking"....one of the best country songs ever!! cal had a voice made for country music

[@cocoemrick1903]

I was raised on good ole country music. I still cry every time I listen to this song. My daddy was a country bumpkin. He passed before my mom did which was actually a blessing because he couldn't have lived without his "little woman."

[@slucas60]

Hey this came out this month 50 years ago. I was 13. You couldn't listen to a country radio station 15 minutes without hearing this song. Earned SONG OF THE YEAR Awards in 1974 from both The Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. Didn't make me tear up back then, but it sure did today! You'll love his more humorous song "Between Lust and Watching TV" and "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking" and also "It's Time to Pay the Fiddler" Y'all are AWESOME!!!

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 I have never heard this song before tonight, and boy, it had me bawling like a baby. I loved it. ❤🎼

[@leeyaferguson9019]

I remember this song on the radio, again, again and again.

[@garyseven5791]

Oh my gosh so authentic and so full of love I'd never heard this one before thank you.

[@violettompkins206]

Oh my goodness! The memories! My Mama and Daddy listened to this. I was raised on old country. Real Country ✌️❤️🎶

[@TommyPierce-q2n]

Cal Smith had such a great voice, and was a good story teller.

[@GreyBeardIT]

Another classic from the vaults that I haven't heard in years. Thank you so much, Jay and Amber, for reacting to the songs you do. They bring back lots of memories for me and it makes me smile watching you all listen to the songs and discovering all this awesome new music for yourselves. Thank you as well for being honest with what you think about the songs and how they make you feel. Amber, I'm right there with you, shedding a tear (or three) at the end of the song. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

[@randyallbee1173]

I love country old school storytelling guys, thank you for the reaction video and exposure! Some of my favorite memories of old school storytelling are from Tom T. Hall, ‘Who’s Gonna Feed Them Hogs’ and ‘Watermelon Wine’-he wasn’t nicknamed the storyteller for nothing!-and C.W. McCall’s ‘Classified’, about going out to buy a pickup truck (told in banjo picking breakneck speed, fasten your lol belt kids), Roger Miller’s ‘Dang Me’ and ‘my uncle used to love me but she died’, and the nearly forgotten Dick Feller (who wrote the songs ‘Some Days are Diamonds’ that John Denver made big and ‘Lord Mr. Ford’, a hit for Jerry Reed), ‘Uncle Hiram’s Homeade Beer’…keep on spinning the platters!

[@Chris.Davis.2]

Cal Smith's voice was smooth as butter.

[@RobertMiller-o1z]

For those who have a heart, this is a real tear jerker.

[@denisef1684]

One of the best songs of all times. So, so sweet!!!! This was a song my mom dedicated to my stepdad when they first met. Because he truly was one!!!

[@cathyparr6827]

Ok...Tanya Tucker singing WHATS YOUR MAMAS NAME? Surprise ending.

[@timothybuchanan662]

Another one of my favorites. Isn't female Friday coming up again in a few days?

[@moorek1967]

Blood Red and Goin' Down is my favorite.

[@Robsan40]

Next country reaction: Marty Robbins "El Paso"

[@Nite37]

You need to do the trilogy though. There are three songs in this set. You will not be disappointed.

[@wtk6069]

For the record, they are: El Paso Faleena El Paso City

[@Chris.Davis.2]

Hard core rocker here,, Marty Robbins is GOAT!

[@shaneluttrell532]

Yes, absolutely.

[@daleofficer1709]

@@Nite37 absolutely!!! Marty Robbins’ “ El Paso” is an absolute must! In my opinion, probably the greatest story song ever! The lyrics are a masterpiece!

[@smarttvhome335]

Great song, great reaction video. If you want to hear something a bit more comedic and light-hearted from Cal Smith, he does a song called "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking". Definitely worth a listen.

[@magneto7930]

I probably could have contained my tears if not for watching Amber...😢

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Right??!

[@leeanne7169]

Me too.

[@reneestes6254]

Love this sweet song.

[@lisachapman4160]

This is real country music golden yesterdays of golden voices from the real roots of country music! Not today's the only way to listen and enjoy really golden country music is to play it on KZbin for golden ageless country music ❤

[@chrismaraccini6706]

❤I remember listening to this song in my early teens. It moved me back then, and I've never forgotten it. I was told at the time that the metaphor was "Frost on the pumpkins." This was the begging of the pumpkins life. Then, "The frost is gone from the pumpkins" was the end before being picked. Beautiful❤

[@vickielewallen3799]

I remember this song from my dad's radio, it made me cry. Thank you so much, i was afraid this song would be lost and forgotten.

[@davidrobinson3716]

Another more recent country song that will have Amber (and Jay) crying is Joey + Rory's "When I'm Gone". Joey + Rory was a married duo and she died of cancer not long after the song came out leaving Joey and their kids behind. The song pretty much is her telling him it will be hard that first night when she is gone but he must carry on because life goes on.

[@patriciakeith6755]

They also should react to Joey and Rory's video to the song Cheater, Cheater.

[@johnsexton2200]

Their song The Preacher And the Stranger is also an amazing song.

[@Gutslinger]

They recorded that song and music video a few years before they even found out that she had cancer. They had a daughter with downsyndrome roughly a couple of years after they recorded the song. Then soon later found out that she had cancer, and she past roughly 2 or so years after having their daughter.. So the song was somewhat prophetic. But I agree, not enough people have reacted to that song. But many mistakenly think they knew she had cancer when she recorded it. They didn't.. The woman playing the piano in the video wrote the song.

[@SharonMartinez-px2ts]

Haven't heard in forever, but still hits the heart

[@lindawolf4863]

Love this song! You should also hear Where Have You Been? - Kathy Mattea and When I Get Where I'm Going- Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton

[@debibailey2968]

Great song. Some more great story songs, Teddy Bear by Red Sovine, Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean ( you may have done that one), Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford, just to name a few!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@wtk6069]

Sixteen Tons by Ford was actually a cover. The original was an early hit by Merle Travis.

[@timothybuchanan662]

I think if they ever do "Teddy Bear" red sovine they should do "Teddy bears last ride" ( the Diana Williams version) Fair warning you guys if you do either of those you're gonna need a tissue if you do them both you might need a mop bucket and squeegee.

[@darrinlindsey]

​@@wtk6069Yes, but the best version is Ernie Ford.

[@raquelgear-dp2qf]

I just watched Amber's face as that sweet song came to its conclusion. Amber you are a sweetheart who's really good at this. Jay you got a really got a good one, and I'm so happy for the both of you. You two make us all smile 😊! Take good care of each other... I know you will.

[@raquelgear-dp2qf]

Ps. I think your children are very lucky too✌️

[@tammyclay62]

"The Lord Knows I'm Drinking" is another great Cal Smith song.

[@normabreazile5500]

I’ve always loved this song… Ms Amber, I’m, too, a country Bumpkin! 🤠

[@kengunter6903]

This song has stuck with me my hole life.

[@RayRubio-bf2oq]

My country bumkin, will live in my heart for ever. A love from Tyler, Tx that never was. Will love her forever.

[@stefanwilliams2576]

you guys keep hitting my old collection of 45's. I haven't thought of this one in almost fifty years. A true old school country song that aims for your heart and tear ducts

[@lilpoohbear653]

Can't believe you two reviewed this one...this song has a special meaning for me as my dad was a country music singer and a part time radio DJ in vietnam...he played all the good stuff for us kids fo years. That was our entertainment was my daddy playing music on his ol' 33 albums (or reel to reel tapes) or singing for us. I remember hearing this as a child and it made me cry. This was one of his faves...me too

[@lilpoohbear653]

good song writing

[@michaelknight2118]

Haven't heard this one in a minute. Another song to cry by, Mr. Tanner, Harry Chapin, classic. Thanks for the smile.

[@michaeldalzell6670]

I have not heard this in ages, totally brings back so many memories

[@mikesavage2114]

This one is probably my #2 favorite country songs of all time, behind Faded Love by Patsy Cline. I thought this day would never come! Thanks for the reaction and I'm glad you like it!

[@williamgreco3046]

Starting an hour early tonight! I haven't heard this one since my mom would play it as a kid. Thank you. Remember lest we forget!

[@themominator4745]

Y'all are playing my childhood! Would love y'all to check out Jim Stafford's " Spiders & Snakes" and Tom T. Hall's" I Love" and "Watermelon Wine".✌️❤️

[@larrywilliams5014]

This is a great song and won the CMA song of the year award for Cal Smith back in the day. Another great love song you might enjoy is "Love, Me," by Colin Raye. Guaranteed to provide a smile and a tear.

@@theodoreritola7641 1974

[@Rebel9668]

Another good one by Cal that's even funny is called "The Lord Knows I'm Drinkin'". At least I'm pretty sure that's the name of it. If it isn't I'm sure someone will correct me, lol.

[@gregorywilcox5949]

another great Cal smith song you will love is THE LORD KNOWS I'M DRINKING

[@brianmiller6055]

I second that!

[@brianspradlin8999]

He’s got another song called The Lords know I’m Drinking that was a big hit you might enjoy.

[@darlenedemayo1]

Cowsills I Love The Flower Girl 1967 .... the Partridge Family was pattered after them

[@denpea-mm8zr]

The song title is “ The Rain, The Park and Other Things” by The Cowsills. Great suggestion.

[@gailmarcum9163]

Thanks. I needed a good cry today.

[@timothybuchanan662]

YAAYY!!! I'M so glad you guys did this and seemed to enjoy. ( Sorry about the waterworks at the end)

Great song

[@raymondohlsen5054]

LOVE your reaction..Frickin' Country music had me blubbering in my beard! Check out Bobby Goldsboro's song Honey.

[@rhondashinn4952]

Awesome suggestion!

[@StormyPeak]

This song and the song Daisy A Day by Jud Strunk - are both bittersweet songs...songs of life-long love, that makes you smile, but sadness too, as one spouse passes away leaving the other with just memories.

[@jerrywalters8885]

Another lesser known singer that is good is Charlie Tennison. Her song GO BACK is a great true love song that most people aren't even aware of from the 90s. She has a great voice and knows how to tell a story with it.

[@johnsexton2200]

Great song! He had such a great country voice. A few of his other songs to check out are The Lord Knows I'm Drinking, I've Found Someone of My Own, and Thanks A Lot.

[@rhondashinn4952]

Fabolouse(sp) song and reaction ! Real country music. I am 65 now, grew up on these tunes, Yall are the best! Next time check out Tom T. Hall!

"Country Bumpkin" is one of my all-time favorites from my younger years. Thanks for the great reaction. If you both want to hear a great deep voice, check out the velvety voice of Jim Reeves. The song I highly, highly recommend is "I Guess I'm Crazy". --- Bill (From Mt. Holly, NJ)

Yeah! Finally one I’ve been pushing, I and many others knew you guys would love this song. It’s very simple, wholesome and sweet. Another one you need to check out is … “Old Dogs, children and Watermellon Wine” by Tom T Hall

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Love this simple song. So relatable. True old school country. You should check out the song "Patches" by Clarence Carter.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

Hey I have a couple country golden oldies I think you will really enjoy both of them come out in 1952 they fist one was released in January it is from Hank Thompson and it was wild side of life and the second one was released in June 1952 it was a response to the other song and it was done by Kitty Wells and the name of that song is It wasn’t god who made Honky tonk angles . Would love to see you react to both of them together.

[@Pauba1946]

Since you like songs with catchy titles you should check out Roy Clark’s “thank God and Greyhound she’s gone” or the Statler Brothers “you can’t have your Kate and Edith too”.

I was crying before the song end I know this song from years ago and I knew what was gonna happen

[@markoehler2752]

Garth Brooks once said this is the “quintessential” country song (or something along those lines. I believe that Cal Smith then presented Garth with the award he had won for the song, or something. Been a long time, I’m fuzzy on the details.
