Uncle Lucius Keep the Wolves Away | Metal / Rock Fans First time Reaction with Blackened

[@briansnyder308]

His mom and dad are in the video at the end and you can see the chemical burns on his face. This song is as deep as it gets

[@stacy4823]

Yes!!! Finally. I have been waiting for this since Holly mentioned that she sent a bribe for it. It's supposed to be a true story about the lead singer Kevin Galloway's dad. It is the most haunting and mesmerizing song. I always hit repeat, you just can't listen to it once.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We legit almost played it again in the recording. I really wanted to. We don't have many that have been "instant playlist," but this one made the cut. - Keith

[@tracycampbell4526]

Great song. I grew up across the ship channel and just a few miles from League City where he grew up. My dad worked on the ship channel skippering a supply boat, working alongside the chemical plants. He was involved in more than one plant explosion, but, thankfully, was never hurt. I can definitely relate to this song.

Country music has had many different “genres” of country. “Americana”, which is what this is classified under, has become very popular today as traditionalists are trying to get away from mainstream Country.

[@susanprice3454]

Loved this song. And THANK YOU HOLLY for Uncle Lucius! The more I listen the more I like.

[@shannonherb2048]

Help this band grow.

[@greeneyelove2003]

Never heard this song before but I love it. So damn relatable. His voice is outstanding. Suggestions - Chris Stapleton's "Fire Away" Zac Brown Band's "Colder Weather" Trisha Yearwood's "Walk Away Joe" (I've suggested that one before and seen it suggested but you mentioned Matthew McConaughey and he has a cameo in the video) and Garth's "Shameless" and "Red Strokes" LOL. Love hearing about the wardrobe drama. Nothing worse than arriving somewhere to find someone else has on the same outfit. For some of us women folk that can result in serious emotional trauma.

[@Holly_D84]

Add another vote for "Fire Away" It's actually hard to believe this one hasn't made its way on here yet!

Very emotional song, loved it. Thanks for reacting to it, thank you Holly for suggesting it. I was a bit confused with the Metallica track at the begining, cause I recognized it.. but on my phone couldnt read the video....🤣

[@jackieg7261]

This song took me back home. Corpus Christi TX has a ton of refineries and a large port off the Gulf of Mexico. The smell does stay in the air. The poor folks who live right around the refineries has to deal with them on a daily basis. The town has to deal with the smell in the air! Great job Holly!

Wonderful suggestion, Holly! Never heard it before but I am definitely checking out more from them. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Really Keith, coffee apparatus! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jillybean4265]

New artist to me. I'll be looking for more. Both of you talking about your family's work history reminded me of award winning documentary Harlan County. Since Keith admits to being old, he might remember the events. Not sure. Definitely worth a watch. It's free on KZbin.

Great documentary!

[@ffwr-109]

Never heard this country song and I was raised on country music. This kind of sounds like outlaw country music.

[@jami9130]

I also grew up on country music and have never heard this but definitely would agree with some of the other comments! Much better than a lot of what plays on country radio right now!!!

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We really don't know where this fits genre-wise. And, I don't think I care, because, good music is good music, and this is good music. - Keith

[@Holly_D84]

You guys are silly. I do like metallica but nothing after garage, inc. And I got so burned out on them I didn't listen to them for years. 3rd shift factory worker here... chemical plant, actually. So this song hits. Glad you guys liked it! Unfortunately Uncle Lucius broke up a couple years ago but this song was used in Yellowstone so I think that may have caused in uptick in people discovering it. It is a true story about his dad and those are his parents in the video, as others have commented. As far as the whiskey.. hey, win some lose some. Better you than me. Now you're stuck with the bottle and I don't have to go get one for myself to try. At least it's a small bottle. 😆The whole marketing schtick for this is that the whiskey is blended using sonic wavelinks from blasting metallica's music. *insert eye roll here* Each bottle comes with a batch number and you can go online and see what playlist was supposedly used to make your bottle.

[@inflatablecarnival3172]

I’m commenting a year later . After the success of Yellowstone , the boys got back together and went on a sold out tour . I got to see them twice . Just curious if you got the chance to see them live ?

[@MrNiccholas]

My dad wasn't exactly blue collar, but he kinda was. My Dad is the Pastor of a very small Church so he always had to work multiple jobs on top of Church. He has worked 25-26 years at UPS during the overnight hours loading the trucks. He was also the co-chair of the Safety committee so I heard about some horrific accidents and even fatalities over the years. My Grandfather worked 29½ years at the CF&I Steel Mill in Pueblo Colorado. I recently played this song for my Dad to get his thoughts. He had just about your reaction to the song. He told me stories his Dad had shared with him as a teenager about some of the accidents at the Steel Mill. Some Grandpa saw happen personally others he just heard about. The one that Grandpa saw that messed him up the worst was watching a man fall off a platform into the crucible of molton metal. I have seen/experienced my share of job site accidents, but I can't imagine what that man went through before dying and what Grandpa must have felt in the weeks afterwards.

[@sethmden]

Grew up in the Houston area not far from Brazos and such and my dad worked his gdamn ass off for me and my own. I recently joined a little band for the fun of it playing fiddle here in central Texas. My pops just had a stroke recently and luckily came out for the most part ok. But I feel this song. His health isn’t the best and I have a good job but always wanted to pursue music. No matter what I do now, it’s my turn at 28 to keep the wolves away finally. Whether it’s with my city job or my fingers on the fiddle. It’s time to rest pops. This song makes me feel like, “I got this”

[@calibcool1187]

I had the pleasure of hearing these guys live in a little restaurant that featured live music about 15 years ago here in central Louisiana. This group along with this song blew me away then and still does to this day. I'm glad they are finally starting to get more recognition now. 😎👍

[@jackielittle4498]

This song always reminds me of the Texas City, Texas disaster of April, 1947. In was in the refinery port in Texas City. It killed around 500 people and injured thousands more. My father-in-law lost his arm as a young college student.

[@firewalldragon9774]

His voice reminded me a lot of the singer Everlast.

I live here, and yes, all so very true. By “here” I refer to where the Brazos meets Galveston Bay. Our coast lined with chemical plants. Someone’s got to do it, Texans do.
