Storytelling at its best - Blake Shelton - Ol' Red (Reaction!)

[@Crps-qe3zs]

Ole Red was Blake's first hit. Now he has several bars named Ole Red. Ole Red has been very good to Blake!

[@lorigravelin2081]

Didn’t he actually have a dog named Red? I read that somewhere but don’t know if it’s true.

[@aprilnewsome1932]

​@@lorigravelin2081no Blake's dogs name was Betty. The song ol red was written by 3 guys and originally recorded by George Jones.

[@TheReeldeel15615]

Austin may have been the first hit. But he has had sooo many!

[@davidalexander828]

​@@TheReeldeel15615Austin was his first no 1

[@radicalreactions1633]

That's not even true, this song wasn't even in the top 10, it reached number 14 - that's not a hit.

[@jimsalina9290]

Can't help but smile when he says,"I had to smile when I heard them turn Red out. Cause I was headed north to Tennessee and Ol' Red was headed south."😂😂😂 Also love how the last line of the song just ties up the end in a little bow. Great reaction!

[@ranasmith5608]

My favorite line is "there are red haired blue ticks all in the south 😂

[@darrinlindsey]

There's nothing wrong with not catching the message right away. The comments will always fill in the holes for you. So many metaphors are used that there are always lyrics that can be confusing.

[@jamiesurface7403]

That song got me back into country music back in 2002-2004 somewhere

[@aprilnewsome1932]

I just love this song!❤ I love the video even more!

[@donnastupka7507]

Love this one! 🤠🐕🤠

[@christiroseify]

Love watching you experience music from the past like its the latest hit...lol

[@chuckragland9972]

I always wondered if that would TRULY work?!

[@armandchargois5733]

If you like storylines and country songs that tell stories you MUST give a listen To Johnny Paycheck’s song called Outlaw’s Prayer… Hass to be a true story. Nobody could make up the lyrics like this. Look for the video that shows him sitting on stage in a purple striped shirt. That’s the one you need to watch you will really enjoy it.

[@HateTheGameTX]

So many comments and not one pointing out that this is actually a cover of a George Jones song.

[@IHCookiedan]

Dog days of summer got him off

[@dannycorbitt2389]

Waited til the Time got right... when she came in heat..

You do not know how to understand a story....WOW!!! Red has been seeing his girlfriend dog the guy brought ....and you totally don't get it...EVERYONE knows this halfway through song.. You don't listen !!

[@kellystogner100]

Wow how rude! English isn't his first language and he didn't grow up in the south to get some of the lyrics. How about trying to be understanding and helpful?

[@beckyjones4043]

Rude

[@tinajustvig5921]

Blake Shelton had to convince his record deal to release this and he was right. His career is historic.

[@booklover3341]

Why did he have to convince his record deal for him to release the song? I'm assuming it was already well-known since George Jones did the song originally.

[@donnadickerson2329]

I saw him perform this song 20 years ago as an opening act for a Toby Keith concert. I won tickets to the concert from a local country radio station. The tickets included a meet-and-greet with Blake. I have a picture of Blake standing between my sister and me with his arms hugging us. Even though my sister and I were "some" years older than Blake, we both acted like a couple of groupies. He's changed a bit since then and so have my sister and I, but we still love him! ❤

[@tmartiney]

Sebs! I love these. As someone who grew up LOVING country music its awesome seeing folks who maybe were wary or were haters react to it. And blake shelton is definitely so great, this was always one of my fave songs

[@patriciadavis1393]

Actually this is my favourite Blake song and his other song Austin was when he was much younger and oh my God he was so handsome❤❤ you should check out his live version with his ex-wife You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma and it's the first time they met and you can see the chemistry between them❤❤

[@flyflorida2001]

Austin for sure!

[@carlprince2866]

He fell for Maranda Head over heels on that stage . so sad they didn't make it.

[@patriciadavis1393]

@@carlprince2866 I know I still can't believe they broke up and when he started going with Gwen Stefani I lost my mind Miranda is so real in every way and Gwen is so plastic in every way but he seems happy so what can I say

[@carlprince2866]

@@patriciadavis1393 Im not sure what happened between them I just know I was showing that video to everyone including my mother in law because she just made his face light up. I thought this is one that's going to last but alas twas not to be . I just wish the best for each of them . My ex comes to our house for Christmas and thanks giving dinner . she and my wife get a hotel room at the beach a couple of times a year and take the grandchildren for some fun . Breakups dont have to be ugly just because two people cant live together is no reason they have to start hating someone they once loved.

[@patriciadavis1393]

@@carlprince2866 thank you for sharing. Yes I would too same when I was younger also my ex-husband had a relationship with a woman here and I used to have their second baby for the day sometimes to give them a break

[@camelliaroan6341]

Love that song & love Blake Shelton! You have to go to one of Blake's bars/restaurants called Ole' Red (named after this song.) They have great food, souvenirs & live entertainment. Blake & others from The Voice have performed there. I went to the one in Nashville, TN. Also one in Gatlinburg, TN, one in Ada, Ok. where Blake grew up & I think Florida has one. Last I heard they were building one in Vegas! You & Ali would enjoy it. If you go to the one in Nashville, TN on Broadway the whole street is full of country music stars restaurant/bars. Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Miranda Lambert & many others have one there too and it's a sight to see! Just get out of your car & walk down the street from one to another. You do have to pay for parking & it's crowded, but it's awesome!

[@dwhunter8904]

🔥🔥🔥When he says “ waited for the time to get right”, he is referring to the blue tick female coming into her heat or breeding cycle. When a male dog smells the smell in the air, they can smell it for miles, that’s all they will do is go to it. It’s Impossible to get them to track or work. It’s pure instinct and that’s what they were counting on so he could get away.

[@karonwhitmore2223]

What’s really cool about this song is that the story is based in truth (as all good stories are)! We’ve actually met someone with a descendant of Ol’ Red & his lady!

[@kimwade9896]

The dog portraying Ol' Red was the actual dog named Ol' Red that lived at the Angola Prison in Louisiana. There's quite the history behind that prison and those stories. The podcast Bloody Angola is quite the podcast!! A must listen!!

[@nanayoung3932]

Now Please listen To the baby tissue will be needed also a Blake song 😢

[@sheilasisk7550]

Now Blake has “Ol Red” restaurants up everywhere from his hometown Ade Oklahoma to New York City

[@michaelhankins6374]

If you really love country songs that tell a story, then you have to listen to several of Ray Stevens hits from the 70s through the 90s. There are three in particular that I absolutely love and I’m sure that you and your subscribers will enjoy as well. “The Mississippi Squirrel Revival” - “It’s Me Again Margaret” - “Sitting Up With the Dead” … these are all classics, and I would love to see your reaction to them! 😊

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Great reaction. Another song you should consider doing a reaction for is - Chad Brock's - Lightning Does The Work from Chad's first album - which is Self-Titled.

[@Bohica369]

It's always great when someone comments how under rated a song is when Ol' Red and Austin are literally the two songs that put Blake Shelton on the map. Don't get me wrong, he had plenty of wonderful music ahead of him at this time in his career, but how can a double platinum song be under rated?
