You chosen a heck of a song as your first country music reaction. This song is like an anthem to us country folks. You'd be hard pressed to find someone outside of the urban US who doesn't know this song in America.

Thank you for reviewing this video, yes basically he is saying, "We say Grace, and we say Ma'am, and if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn" that you can live your life the way you want to, and we can live ours, does not mean we are stupid, or anything, just our expertise is not in the market, or books, but more of the basic instinctual survival skills, that I think a lot of people really need to learn, true hunting and fishing to name just two. And, he does not say where the 43 dollars came into play if the guy killed had it, or the store that was robbed had it, just a small amount of money is the cause of the robbery that caused his friend to perish. Anyway, again, thank you for watching, I truly hope that you enjoyed it, and will dive more into country music, like the other songs noted on Patreon. Cheers!

Country music has some of the best melodic guitar riffs you'll find anywhere. The sound focuses on melody, timing, and expression. Basically country and blues need you to bring it from deep in the GUT. You can be as fancy as you want but Country and Blues follow the rule, if you can't feel it, you can't be it. Jonny Cash is no joke either.

You will find that a lot - possibly even a majority - of country songs sound like stories put to music. You will also find the lyrics in general easier to understand than in a lot of rock songs. In country music tradition, the lyrics and message are as important as the music. There is an old saying: to play country music you only need "three chords and the truth".

The best thing about any good country music is that it tells a story that most people have gone through in some aspect of their lives. I'm a country boy, can confirm, I'll be ok no matter what, I'm a certified mechanic, welder, carpenter. I have two pantries full of jarred vegetables I grew myself, two freezers full of deer, pork and fish and a generator that can hold me over for a month off the grid in case of hurricanes or floods. And plenty of guns and ammo to get more food or protect what I have. If I can't build it, fix it, grow it, catch it or kill it, I can do without it.

This song is about the self sufficiency of rural people. They aren't reliant upon grocery stores and can eat during times when those in cities will panic. They hunt, they fish and they grow crops. Most even know what plants they can and can't eat in the wilderness. I'm a country boy from Florida for instance and I know how to survive in my environment. I can eat gators, snakes, turtles, possums, coons, rabbits and squirrels along with any fish as well as swamp cabbage and other plants if I need to. I can use a gun or bow or traps or a spear and I can improvise when needed. That's what this song is about.

My two favs. are Hank Jr. and Waylon Jennings. I'd recommend "Family Tradition," and "Feeling Better" by Hank Jr. and "I've Always Been Crazy" and "Amanda" by Waylon. Also you might enjoy the film: "Living Proof: The Hank Williams Jr. Story" which is notable for being an entire biography that ends when its subject's life is just really beginning. Great film and Great Story. I found it very empowering as well!

They've been portrayed in such a bad light because they're self-reliant, religious in general, conservative and don't give a damn what anyone else thinks. And if you know anything about the folks who control Hollywood, it's easy to see why they love to portray Southern and Appalachian people in a bad light. The truth is, these people are some of the most honest, hard working people in the nation and many of them would give you the shirt off their backs to help you. I know, my entire family are from the hills of eastern Kentucky. I was only the first generation to be born outside of that area in a long, long time. Every time I go there it just amazes me how great that culture really is. And I feel safer, by far, down there than I would in ANY city in the U.S.
