@@davidwillison7796 Hank Williams Sr was a great country singer. But George Strait has more number one hits than any country singer ever. Even more than Garth Brooks. All without ever changing his style. That's why he is the king.
According to Waylon ... Bob Wills is still the king, I think of all the people living or dead .. Waylon Jennings has earned the right to crown the king!
LFC1892 he has his share of over commercialized pop radio hits, but make no mistake, George is a God where I am from. When you have over 40 years of albums some of them are not going to click lol.
LaneUSMC I was fortunate to see George early in his career in Brehnam. Still remember the magic of George! Saw him several times at the Livestock Show with the kids..also huge fans.
I really appreciate how you guys are so open to all genres. I respect what y'all are doin. Society needs more open minded ppl like when it comes to music.
He wasn't being dismissive, he was fronting. His heart was breaking, and he figured he owed it to her to make her feel like she made the right decision. He was being a good enough man to let her be happy. He knew he hadn't been giving her the life she deserved.
Pretty much....I saw that having already met someone new, her decision was made. He was respecting that, likely mentioning Cheyenne to relieve her of any guilt. You have to understand this culture was founded on respect for one another-even (or especially) in the face of betrayal. ...Reason was it's one of the things that helped ensure a long life in places with little law here. If you killed someone in the West, the more respected they were, the more friends they likely had, and the more money got spent hiring folks or detectives to investigate or find you....and this was all well understood, and would be inferred by just the way you acted/ how respectable you seemed. This likely promoted the culture of honor and respect that has lasted into modern times, especially in parts of Texas, Wyoming, etc where many towns still have no police- only a small sheriff's dept. at the county seat. You can see a slight version of this today, but only regarding public figures or police....where harm to them guarantees a greater response... mind you without the cultural impact since this extra protection can't be gained/increased for anyone by acting 'more public figur-ee' or more 'police-ish' lol....
I'm so glad you did one of his songs. He just dropped his 30th studio album on the 29th at almost 70 years old. He is the King of Country, never sold out, always true to his roots. For 90s r&b being my favorite genre of music, George Strait trumps it. He is my #1 since I was a kid.
I'm from Cheyenne. Cheyenne has the largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration on Earth. That is what this song is about. A cowboys love for Cheyenne Frontier Days, "The Daddy of Em All".
To me this song is more about him not blaming her for leaving him. He knows that the rodeo life has been hard on her, with him being gone for months at a time and her never knowing if he was going to make the next ride ( because Broncos and bulls ect. Are very dangerous) . And instead of making her feel guilty or hurting her , he just walking away with a broken heart and went to Cheyenne to finish the season rather than go home and and deal with the heartbreak. To me he just handled the situation like a gentleman and let her go without a fight because trying to get her to stay wouldn't have been far to either of them. So TO ME he is going to Cheyenne for both their sakes, not because he wants to focus on his career but because going home to an empty house would just be too painful
I agree! He left the phone hanging and looked back at it. He was shocked and devastated. He was telling her he was headed home -- the call did not go the way he expected! Probably cried all the way to Cheyenne. Malcolm Gladwell would love this....
But they live in Cheyenne... “And in that Cheyenne wind he can still hear her say.” He’s not going to Cheyenne to compete, he’s going in hopes of catching the woman that he loves before she’s gone forever...
There's a long running theme with the rancher/rodeo types. There's a love/hate for the cowboy lifestyle. If you want to hear an older version of the same idea, check out Willie and Waylon. ua-cam.com/video/BIan1LDa3hU/v-deo.html
These two guys represent what I wish our media and entertainment world would show more of. They likely won’t see my boy George in a concert, but they are cool and give legitimate dialog. I would send them a round of drinks if they were at my bar. Yah, I’m a conservative, Country listening white guy, but I got more in common with these two than a lot of folks. God Bless.
I sure wish they had read this, it is a great reminder that there are others out there that we have more in common with us than we realize whether they like the same kind of music, or music at all. Just good people you would love to buy a drink for
Their reaction gave me shivers. Like they GET it. Cultural differences don't mean jack when you take the time to listen and figure out what you have in common instead of what is different.
Danny Scott This is the same thing that happened to me. UA-cam recommended it and I went on three hours straight watching videos. I subscribed and now I watch every video that comes up
@fucookie Don't get me wrong, Garth is amazing in his own right but there is only one King of country. Garth tours like crazy and has 20 #1 hits but George retired topping out at 60 #1 hits for his career. Radio stations here in Texas have dedicated 24 hour streams to nothing but George Strait. Another keeps people tuned in by promising at least 2 strait songs every hour. Another has something called "strait at eight" where they play a couple of his songs back to back. George is King.
George Strait IS, and WILL be ALWAYS, THE King of Country!! Garth is great... but he studied at the feet of the King, George Strait, #hisinspiration. Read about it. HANDS. DOWN. King.
The point of the song is this: the chyenne rodeo is basically the mecca of rodeos. Its on the most prestigious rodeos around. He was going to give up going on order to be with her, but it was too late.
The song is about the life of a rodeo cowboy. The song begins with a phone call from a cowboy on the road to his love. He assures her that he is coming home. However, her tone alerts him that something is wrong. The chorus reveals that the woman has decided to leave him for another she feels is more reliable. The man replies that as much as this pains him, he will go on to Cheyenne, the most prestigious rodeo around. He was going to give up Cheyenne to be with her, one of the biggest sacrifices a cowboy could make, yet the moment he learned she had replaced him for another, he was quick to try to make Cheyenne. The cowboy does get to Cheyenne but it is revealed that when he does, it is his love that is still foremost on his mind. The song is about Lane Frost.
Loved your reaction. Thank you for respecting country music. Most people write it off right away without giving it a shot as soon as they hear the word country. Your interpretation of the song was right and I liked how you equated it to a basketball player or anybody else trying to make it at what they love. It was great to see you get what country music really does which is tell a story that everybody can relate to. All you had to do was insert a different profession and it can relate to anyone. And thank you for acknowledging that country music keeps it real. That's what it's all about. And that the artists and fans are unapologetic about it. And yes George is the KING of country music. He has 61 number one hits which is more than any other artist in any genre in history. That's how he got the name KING George. Thanks for keeping it real guys #freethinkers
Sure, but they look confused when he talk about Cheyenne, cause they were not cowboys, neither am I, but hope it's about Cheyenne Frontier Days™.. (Moral of the song ~ don't quit to give your best, even if your heart is broken..)
Cheyenne is Cheyenne Wyoming. It's a place where there is a huge Rodeo every year or there may be more. But I do know that Cheyenne Wyoming hosts a huge Rodeo at least once a year.
I used to live in Cheyenne and yeah it's def about frontier days. My ex had tickets to see journey and Reba was there. But I swear you could hear the music from frontier days from the mud hud on the south side pass the via-docks. Laramie and Cody could hear journey too lol.
FYI George Strait has more #1 hit singles than ANYONE in the history of music, thats all genre's. That's why he's called The King of Country "When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar"
Yes you hit the nail on the head, fiddles and steel guitars.... equals pure old school country music, unlike todays so-called country music. It's like the Travis Tritt song says from so many years ago, "Country ain't Country no-more"!
Garth Brooks says in his show he spends 2 hours flying through the air, running back and forth on stage and doing all kinds of stunts to get the crowd charged up and all George Straight has to do is walk out on stage, stand in one place and smile and the place goes wild.
I'm a massive George Strait fan, but let's give credit where it's due, there's a reason why Garth has won Entertainer of the Year so many times. The man puts on one of the best concerts ever.
I've been listening to George Strait, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Toby Keith, Hank Williams Jr, Conway Twitty etc for years. I grew up around it and just gravitated to it.
YOU gentlemen GET. IT. You understand the music. THANK YOU. Doesn't matter WHAT walk of life you come from...you listen to...respect...and understand the music..THANK YOU. You are correct. This song is about placing your worldly DREAMS and career above ALL ELSE. INCLUDING LOVE. THANK YOU. Listen to music with an unbiased heart and soul...and you walk away feeling complete and WHOLE...
I like that y’all say this song is pure country when George Straight was the main character of a movie named “Pure Country”. He’s the king of country like Elvis was the king of rock and roll.
Ken Hall I opened for his son Ned back in October He is a great guy!! Has a lot of cool stories about his Father and a lot of good songs!! Keep an eye out for him he's climbing the ladder!!
They'd have to hear the way overplayed "This Cowboy's Hat" and not something like "Tougher Than the Rest" or any of his less known cowboy songs. Agreeing he's awesome but that's cowboy music where country is so...weird on how it can be pop but mention hay bales.
I'm pretty sure his "I can still make Cheyenne" comment is supposed to imply that when he initially called and said he hadn't made the cut, that he had indeed made the cut to the next event, Cheyenne. He was willing to give up his position at Cheyenne because he was ready to come back home. Once she let him know he was too late, he decided to push forward with his career.
I find it so perfect that you guys called George "pure country" and he was literally in a movie called Pure Country in the 90's. What are the odds, huh?
He's a cowboy... He is who he is... He is what he is... He's not necessarily trying to provide a better life for her as much as he's just pursuing his passion and if she can't handle it, that's ok. Ironically, it's this passion that attracted her to him in the first place. He doesn't hate her. He doesn't wish her ill. He knows she wasn't the first and that she won't be the last. He's on his path and women are welcome to come and go. One of my favorite songs. Nice work guys!
Like Chris Ledoux, they both started out rodeoing. Chris was a bronc rider, George did bull doghing. Chris started out just recording and selling his tapes at the rodeo. George started preforming at the rodeos. I think they actually met in Cheyenne.
I swore I would never listen to goat ropin music .. being a rocker and a musician since I was 8 years old .. but I went to Alabama in my 20's and it all changed .. and George is definitely the King seriously he grows on you big time the more listen to him the more you love him .. he has so many fucking good songs its impossible not to love him and he is just plain and simply a great guy .
Greatest thing I've seen on UA-cam in awhile. I'm from iowa, but live and rodeo in Texas. I listen to hip hop mainly but George Strait is a staple of rodeo life
I just found your channel and I'm obsessed!!! As a lifelong country girl I'm loving your takes on these old school country songs! And really love that you called this a "pure country" song bc he was in the movie Pure Country 😊
Didn't make the "short go" in reference to the final round in the rodeo. He travels for rodeo and is always gone. She always expects to receive a call that he's been killed in a rodeo accident. The Cheyenne Rodeo is world famous in the rodeo world, like the Calgary Stampede rodeo
George Strait is the most respected country singer of all-time!!! Willie Nelson may be a national treasure, but nobody has the clout that Strait does!! My favorite song of his is Ocean Front Property.
That's a great one, how did you pick a favorite?, He doesn't have bad songs just ones I like more then others, I really dig I hate everything, run, Amarillo by morning, poison, when the credits roll, so much like my dad
Poor logic. Jethro Tull once won a best metal Grammy. Sometimes using popularity to decide standard just doesn't work. Thinking like that would make McD's the restaurant chain with the best food.
If you boys want another Stapleton tune, try "Broken Halos." And yes. George strait is the king of country. If you want the heavier "rock country" I recommend Garth Brooks.
On a sidenote George Strait is the king of country music and if you look him up, he has a world record in any music genera for the most number one hits in the history of music
Dont get me wrong George Strait has a ton of good songs but I dont think that makes him the one and only king of country, theres quite a few other great country artists out there who I think have songs that can beat out some of George's best songs. Alan Jackson, Hank Williams, Tobey Kieth, Brooks and Dunn, Alabama, and Waylon Jennings to name a few. George Strait has made a huge contribution to country and again has a lot of great songs but he shouldn't be the "king" that most other country artist are compared to.
Yes, there are a lot of great country artists. But that's literally George's nickname. He's known as The King of Country. It's like how no one tried to claim Prince was also the King of Pop. Yeah, he was good, but that wasn't his nickname. Strait holds the record for most number one albums and singles, gold albums, platinum albums, and multi-platinum in the history of country music. He's definitely the King of Country.
The fact that you guys stay putting out content at the level of quality you guys do is incredible. Being so open minded with music in todays world is almost unheard of, i also love that you guys are not afraid to say if a song is trash just because it was a song requested by a subscriber. This channel is definitely one of my favorites (notification squad!) That being said I have a few requests from a variety of genres that id like to see you guys do. And I'll probably be posting them on every video but don't feel rushed or pressured to get them out just look at them as friendly reminders haha. Linkin Park- given up The messenger Slipknot- snuff Devil in I Psychosocial Disclosure- Omen Logic- metropolis Disgusting Maybe some Lana del Rey That's it for now, Stay up!
I get what you're saying and agree but there's context at play in the song you're probably referring to. Nothing I would ever say or want to hear said in my presence but given the true history of the south and his band mates at the time it worked then.
Earned a sub. This was a surprisingly good review, many people are put off by country, but you gave it a fair listen and found deeper meaning in the lyrics.
riversquid Yea, the beginning violin to that song reminds me of greeting the cold morning, the sun beginning to show though still dark, getting into your cold car. But the sound of that echoed violin warms your insides. Yes, they should react to Garth Brooks "Much too Young" (to feel this damn old). Beautiful.
And yes, that's me in my profile pic, but I grew up working a farm, with my adoptive parents. This is the only music I listened to growing up. Y'all need to listen to some Civil Wars. Specifically, Poison And Wine. It'll shake you.
George Strait has had 60 NUMBERS ONE HITS over 33years he is the true OG of country music he is the KING of country
60 number ones? He had more than 75.
No way the king of country is hank Williams sr. Always and forever
@@davidwillison7796
Hank Williams Sr was a great country singer. But George Strait has more number one hits than any country singer ever. Even more than Garth Brooks. All without ever changing his style. That's why he is the king.

@@chriswaltman5313 but George Strait lifespan was longer than Hank Sr so u can't agree but I can respectfully agree to disagree man
Can’t believe y’all actually did a George Strait good pick
Not even close to his best song
P C but a damn good one.
No but at least this one wasn’t killed on the radio
@@Luckyleft13 does he have a bad one?, This isn't my favorite George song but lesser George is still better then most
LFC1892 he has his share of over commercialized pop radio hits, but make no mistake, George is a God where I am from. When you have over 40 years of albums some of them are not going to click lol.
He's called "King George" for a reason. I had the privilege to see him at Rodeo Houston this year. He's still got it.
LaneUSMC I was fortunate to see George early in his career in Brehnam. Still remember the magic of George! Saw him several times at the Livestock Show with the kids..also huge fans.
Every year from age 2-15 my family saw King George at the Astrodome during the rodeo. Great memories
he isnt called king george... thay would be george jones
I really appreciate how you guys are so open to all genres. I respect what y'all are doin. Society needs more open minded ppl like when it comes to music.
I agree 100%. Society needs more open minded people period no matter what it is. Society has become so cruel and only seems to be getting worse.
George Strait is so pure country. He starred in a movie called pure country.
Everett Baker good movie!
Everett Baker kinda like Em is a such a rap god he put a song out lol
This happens to a lot of career military people
He wasn't being dismissive, he was fronting. His heart was breaking, and he figured he owed it to her to make her feel like she made the right decision. He was being a good enough man to let her be happy. He knew he hadn't been giving her the life she deserved.
Rusty Shakelford spot on brother couldn’t have said it better myself!
If you know you know.
Exactly!
Yes! Glad someone explained it perfectly ❤
Pretty much....I saw that having already met someone new, her decision was made. He was respecting that, likely mentioning Cheyenne to relieve her of any guilt.
You have to understand this culture was founded on respect for one another-even (or especially) in the face of betrayal.
...Reason was it's one of the things that helped ensure a long life in places with little law here. If you killed someone in the West, the more respected they were, the more friends they likely had, and the more money got spent hiring folks or detectives to investigate or find you....and this was all well understood, and would be inferred by just the way you acted/ how respectable you seemed. This likely promoted the culture of honor and respect that has lasted into modern times, especially in parts of Texas, Wyoming, etc where many towns still have no police- only a small sheriff's dept. at the county seat.
You can see a slight version of this today, but only regarding public figures or police....where harm to them guarantees a greater response... mind you without the cultural impact since this extra protection can't be gained/increased for anyone by acting 'more public figur-ee' or more 'police-ish' lol....
I'm so glad you did one of his songs. He just dropped his 30th studio album on the 29th at almost 70 years old.
He is the King of Country, never sold out, always true to his roots. For 90s r&b being my favorite genre of music, George Strait trumps it. He is my #1 since I was a kid.
He's got the most number 1 hits in any type of music, COMBINED.
I'm from Cheyenne. Cheyenne has the largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration on Earth. That is what this song is about. A cowboys love for Cheyenne Frontier Days, "The Daddy of Em All".
Yup. So many Southern Cowboys wanna ride that event. Super Bowl of Bull Riding. Great event

Cheyenne Is the Grand Daddy of them all and Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is by far the biggest.
LOL...LOved this reaction...I am from TEXAS and trust me...George Strait is King!!!!
Dwayne Webster He is king everywhere!!! Even in California
AGREED!
Sorry ya'l bob willes is still the king
lol...Waylon says so and so does George....but nope,,,In Texas its George a few old school folks will beg to differ though, so see your point.

Herman Reyna that was my thought to but I like his too. Both are good in different ways.
“Cheyenne” is like the super bowl of rodeo in Cheyenne Wyoming.
CFD. I go every year. I live just about 40 miles away, and have been in WY my whole life.
Heading to Frontier Days in July...cant wait!!! I was stationed their for 9 years.

Nah, the NFR is the Super Bowl, but CFD is great, too.

Irony is not just the opposite of wrinkly.
Thanks for pointing this out!
I did not even catch this. Thanks for pointing that out. I think I’ll make my wife watch it soon. I haven’t watched pure country in many years.

Yup king of country music!
Kevin Schaefer wrong Ronnie Millsap has more.
I love seeing folks from different cultures respecting other cultures. Keep it up guys 👍
“You know a woman wants her cowboy like he wants his rodeo.”
from Rodeo by Garth Brooks
I came to see if someone said this. If they haven't reacted to Garth Brooks' Rodeo, they need to asap. :)
YOU gentlemen GET. IT. You understand the music. THANK YOU. Doesn't matter WHAT walk of life you come from...you listen to...respect...and understand the music..THANK YOU. You are correct. This song is about placing your worldly DREAMS and career above ALL ELSE. INCLUDING LOVE. THANK YOU. Listen to music with an unbiased heart and soul...and you walk away feeling complete and WHOLE...
Excellent Pierce Nine...very well said and agree 100%
I agree, these dudes are cool with the reactions and opinions.
Anyone remember and LOVE Marty Robbins.
..El Paso???
Yessssss
For Marty Robbins, I would go with Big Iron or Master's Call.
oh yeah. But you also have to listen to the other one, I can't remember the name off hand.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh hell yeah Marty and Gentleman Jim.
Cowboy in the continental suit
I like that y’all say this song is pure country when George Straight was the main character of a movie named “Pure Country”. He’s the king of country like Elvis was the king of rock and roll.
Savannah Bratton agreed!!!
If you wanna hear the smoothest pick up song ever... listen to George strait “ The Chair”
llikens171921 my all time favorite!!
My all time favourite too damn.. Chair 💝❤️❤️
They definitely need to listen to The Chair
My husband sang that to me while we danced to it outside his room...
Listen to DIsys owns every families assets n there ain't shit I can do about it see we fucked the ugly sister
I think you two would really like "seven Spanish angels" by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. A little blues and a little country.
brandon jackson I've loved that song since I was a little kid.
YES PLEASE
brandon jackson played that at my sister funeral!! Great song
Chris Ledoux was a pure, real cowboy like Strait, doesn't get much more country than that !!
Ken Hall amen brother
Amen brother. I live by where chris lives
Lived gd
Ken Hall I opened for his son Ned back in October He is a great guy!! Has a lot of cool stories about his Father and a lot of good songs!! Keep an eye out for him he's climbing the ladder!!
They'd have to hear the way overplayed "This Cowboy's Hat" and not something like "Tougher Than the Rest" or any of his less known cowboy songs. Agreeing he's awesome but that's cowboy music where country is so...weird on how it can be pop but mention hay bales.
George is known as the King of Country. Love your channel.
porkchopsrv As a Native Texan we call him King George! Hail the King! 😍
Kelly Lewis well I think Garth Brooks is better that George straight
As a NATIVE Texan, Bob Wills is still the King.
GEORGE STRAIT IS WAY BETTER THAN GARTH!
@porkchopsrv, i thought Roy Acuff was The King of Country Music? :)
I'm pretty sure his "I can still make Cheyenne" comment is supposed to imply that when he initially called and said he hadn't made the cut, that he had indeed made the cut to the next event, Cheyenne. He was willing to give up his position at Cheyenne because he was ready to come back home. Once she let him know he was too late, he decided to push forward with his career.
This is a exactly what this song is about
And the last line is she found another man just like him. The circle never ends.
I find it so perfect that you guys called George "pure country" and he was literally in a movie called Pure Country in the 90's. What are the odds, huh?
He's a cowboy... He is who he is... He is what he is... He's not necessarily trying to provide a better life for her as much as he's just pursuing his passion and if she can't handle it, that's ok. Ironically, it's this passion that attracted her to him in the first place. He doesn't hate her. He doesn't wish her ill. He knows she wasn't the first and that she won't be the last. He's on his path and women are welcome to come and go.
One of my favorite songs. Nice work guys!
Smart depiction Rick.
Fun fact. George competed in PRCA roping. The man can ride.
Didnt know that
I didn't know that but it makes sense so he knows what hes singing about that's cool
He actually has his own roping show at his own ranch, has for years. Pays a lot of money out, too.
Like Chris Ledoux, they both started out rodeoing. Chris was a bronc rider, George did bull doghing. Chris started out just recording and selling his tapes at the rodeo. George started preforming at the rodeos. I think they actually met in Cheyenne.
“He’s just in love with rodeo” 😂 so many circuit wife’s would agree with you!
THE King of Country. Not one of. ;)
@Pointhunter75 I understand what you're saying for sure, I'm just saying that's what he's called. ;) Google "Who is the King of Country?" Lol!
Pointhunter75 he is known as King George.
Yes! Thank you! Funny to see people that never really heard his stuff..lol
Exactly! He IS The King of Country!
Strait called that man George Jones, but I tend to think its Strait.
I swore I would never listen to goat ropin music .. being a rocker and a musician since I was 8 years old .. but I went to Alabama in my 20's and it all changed .. and George is definitely the King seriously he grows on you big time the more listen to him the more you love him .. he has so many fucking good songs its impossible not to love him and he is just plain and simply a great guy .
Since y'all are trying to have a little bit of everything I think y'all should check out Ryan Upchurch
Brooks and Dunn Neon Moon
MrPain Games absolutely
MrPain Games great song!!
Oh my god yes please
Your reaction to "Don't bother coming home" was hilarious! Great analysis too!
Greatest thing I've seen on UA-cam in awhile. I'm from iowa, but live and rodeo in Texas. I listen to hip hop mainly but George Strait is a staple of rodeo life
You guys really open the eyes of many, thank you!
I god damn HATE reaction videos... I've been atching you guys for over 12 hours straight now. I love it!
Free Thinkers, man!
Omg!! This is my first reaction video and I am hooked!!!! These guys truly appreciate music and glad to know I am not the only one.
SUBSCRIBED. STRAIGHT FROM MUSIC CAPITOL OF THE WORLD MEMPHIS TENNESSEE.
Glad to know there are other people out there who realize society’s standards are absolutely 100% made up bullshit
Made me think of "Please don't take the girl" Tim McGraw...
I just found your channel and I'm obsessed!!! As a lifelong country girl I'm loving your takes on these old school country songs! And really love that you called this a "pure country" song bc he was in the movie Pure Country 😊
Didn't make the "short go" in reference to the final round in the rodeo. He travels for rodeo and is always gone. She always expects to receive a call that he's been killed in a rodeo accident. The Cheyenne Rodeo is world famous in the rodeo world, like the Calgary Stampede rodeo
George strait is the best country singer ever!
Yes he’s much better than Garth Brooks, because he’s real country.
Hank wins every time
No, waylon
Jasmin Alexander-Peck Goethe strait is good but George Jones is great
Do "in color" by jamey johnson , its another amazing country song. you guys are amazing keep grinding
Nathan Barnett one of the best ever. Get chills listening to it
Agreed. React to it
Yes! Very very good song
Cmom guys , keep commenting on every video for them to play" in color "
Yes In Color awesome song
Cheyenne "The daddy of them all" is basically the world series of the rodeo circuit. Cheyenne, Wy that is.
Lived in Cheyenne. Love/hate with Frontier Days. The population explodes for that week.
The Nat'l Finals Rodeo in Vegas is the Super Bowl of rodeo but Frontier Days in Cheyenne is definitely the Daddy of 'Em All.
George Strait is the most respected country singer of all-time!!! Willie Nelson may be a national treasure, but nobody has the clout that Strait does!! My favorite song of his is Ocean Front Property.
That's a great one, how did you pick a favorite?, He doesn't have bad songs just ones I like more then others, I really dig I hate everything, run, Amarillo by morning, poison, when the credits roll, so much like my dad
Midnight in Montgomery by Alan Jackson
I second this
Absolutely love that song!!!
YESSS
Mabye chattahoocce or where wer e you when the world stopped turning
Steve Mitchell Amen!
George isn't one of the King's of country he is the king of country music he has 60 number 1's... But the chair is probably my favorite by him.
Austin M that sly classy George haha.
Austin M amen brother
Poor logic. Jethro Tull once won a best metal Grammy. Sometimes using popularity to decide standard just doesn't work. Thinking like that would make McD's the restaurant chain with the best food.
the chair then the firemen
Austin M I believe he's up around 67 #1s
You guys would get a kick out of George Straight's "The Fireman"
Hell yeah !
👍👍👍👍
Or All My Exes 😄
Salina Roof or anyone of 57 other songs. 😀
Fireman is one of his best.
King George! Keep up the great work!
You both bring real value to music review videos. Just wanted to say great job! Peace from an American in Australia 💥
George strait is the GOAT of country
George Strait is the KING of country
If you boys want another Stapleton tune, try "Broken Halos."
And yes. George strait is the king of country.
If you want the heavier "rock country" I recommend Garth Brooks.
Sean K Garth is one of my favorites. Why do you consider "rock country" excluding that album that shall not be named
I have to disagree with you jones is the king man
Jo Dee Messina is a good choice for rock country such as her cover of Delicious Surprise or her song My Give A Damn's Busted.
GEORGRE STRAIGHT is the man lol. He's the real deal.
I love how you guys are sincerely analyzing this!
Mai Yeev Xiong Yes.. they aren't trashing it. They are trying to decipher what the song means.
The King of Country and more importantly Texas Country
This cowboys hat or eight second ride Chris ledoux
this cowboys hat
I would love to see This Cowboy’s Hat
This cowboys hat.
👏👏👏 love that song, saw him do it live in the 90's man it was epic!!
This Cowboy's Hat you gotta do this one
On a sidenote George Strait is the king of country music and if you look him up, he has a world record in any music genera for the most number one hits in the history of music
George is not one of the kings ?HE is the KING!!!!
AMEN TO THAT
Dont get me wrong George Strait has a ton of good songs but I dont think that makes him the one and only king of country, theres quite a few other great country artists out there who I think have songs that can beat out some of George's best songs. Alan Jackson, Hank Williams, Tobey Kieth, Brooks and Dunn, Alabama, and Waylon Jennings to name a few. George Strait has made a huge contribution to country and again has a lot of great songs but he shouldn't be the "king" that most other country artist are compared to.
Yes, there are a lot of great country artists. But that's literally George's nickname. He's known as The King of Country. It's like how no one tried to claim Prince was also the King of Pop. Yeah, he was good, but that wasn't his nickname. Strait holds the record for most number one albums and singles, gold albums, platinum albums, and multi-platinum in the history of country music. He's definitely the King of Country.
Agreed
Strait is a king but you cant forget Jones. Both them are kings of they own life.
I love your honest reactions to these country songs. You two are awesome
do "Amarillo by morning" by George Strait
Jacob Woodell man I miss the shit out of Texas every time I hear that song
fuck yes!!
Jacob Woodell I LOVE that song!! Yes! Do that one!!!!
A Father's Love is good too.
Jacob Woodell do it!!!!
Try "mama tried" by Merle Haggard. Great song by a guy singing about something real.
Love that song
Holden Smith George Strait sings real songs he's a champion roper
Hell yeah!
Cheyenne frontier days known as the daddy of em all is one of the biggest rodeos in the west held in Cheyenne wyoming
🎵I turned 21 in prison doing life with no parole
The fact that you guys stay putting out content at the level of quality you guys do is incredible. Being so open minded with music in todays world is almost unheard of, i also love that you guys are not afraid to say if a song is trash just because it was a song requested by a subscriber. This channel is definitely one of my favorites (notification squad!) That being said I have a few requests from a variety of genres that id like to see you guys do. And I'll probably be posting them on every video but don't feel rushed or pressured to get them out just look at them as friendly reminders haha.
Linkin Park- given up
The messenger
Slipknot- snuff
Devil in I
Psychosocial
Disclosure- Omen
Logic- metropolis
Disgusting
Maybe some Lana del Rey
That's it for now, Stay up!
I recommend Charlie Daniels "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"
John Anderson "Seminole Wind"
Vince Gill "Go Rest High on that Mountain"
I'd skip "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", way too overplayed. Your other two choices are good though.
YES!
Seminole Wind is one of my favorites, lots one can interpret from that song!
David Allen Cole, you never call me by my name. Song is legendary
YES! The greatest country song ever written (mostly because of the last verse lol)
Yall better warn them about DAC though. These some good dudes and I don't want to see them getting offended cause they stumbled across the wrong song.
I get what you're saying and agree but there's context at play in the song you're probably referring to. Nothing I would ever say or want to hear said in my presence but given the true history of the south and his band mates at the time it worked then.
Fuckin good song
Hank Williams Jr. "A Country Boy Can Survive"
Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys by Willie Nelson
And Waylon Jennings...
I yes!
@@dbacksfan09 that's no a country song. It's a cowboy song. -Cpl. Ray Pearson
Cowboy in the continental suit
Yes plz one of my favorites
My sons favorite Strait song is “I saw God today”
“Cowboys out here in the streets” lmfao
😂
That was hilarious! Haha
Yall need to do troubadour by George strait
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yaaaaaaassssssss
Yes!!!!- troubadour!!!!!!
Yes!! Troubadour!!
Absolutely do that one troubadour
Rodeo is in your blood, it goes beyond obsession. People will sacrifice everything to feed that fire!!!!
Cheyenne Wyoming has one of the largest rodeos .....my sons and I traveled all over the US to participate in Rodeos ... best life ever!
King George!! Soooo many of his songs to choose from! Amarillo by Morning, How bout them Cowgirls, The Chair, and on and on...
crusincamry the Chair is the smoothest country song there is. The way get picks up the woman in that song was next level before there was next level.
Neon Moon by Brooks and Dunn. It's a classic
Dirty Dan it sure is.
Dirty Dan agreed
God yes
B&D is amazing new country
Earned a sub. This was a surprisingly good review, many people are put off by country, but you gave it a fair listen and found deeper meaning in the lyrics.
That was always such a great part of the song: "She said don't bother coming home..."
I will never hear it the same way again after watching this lmao
All that remains - Six
Seven Spanish Angels - Ray Charles and Willie Nelson!!
10072018 I STILL listen to that song regularly
Amarillo by morning
joshua darden Run!
King George. A true country legend.
Garth Brooks - "Much too young to feel this damn old"
Mike Riddle I can't thumbs up this suggestion enough! Yes lord please!
riversquid Yea, the beginning violin to that song reminds me of greeting the cold morning, the sun beginning to show though still dark, getting into your cold car. But the sound of that echoed violin warms your insides. Yes, they should react to Garth Brooks "Much too Young" (to feel this damn old). Beautiful.
George strait -the chair
john zepeda THIS IS A MUST
And yes, that's me in my profile pic, but I grew up working a farm, with my adoptive parents. This is the only music I listened to growing up. Y'all need to listen to some Civil Wars. Specifically, Poison And Wine. It'll shake you.
Love Civil Wars!!!!! Poison And Wine is awesome!!
If you don't already know, check out gangstagrass
I like the shit out of y'all. Keep up the good work and God bless.
