- Metal / rock fns first time reaction to Willie Nelson's "Whiskey River" while checking out some Garrison Brothers Cowboy
The look on your faces....priceless. That's our Willie. He's been doing this for decades. Poor Trigger has been through the mill but Willie still gets a great sound out of him. Y'all just missed it. Willie has a different cadence to his singing. Everybody wants to do a duet with Willie. Welcome to the world of Willie Nelson.
Nelson's guitar "Trigger " is a Martin N-20 Classical guitar with Nylon Strings. Willie plays guitar using a pick without a pick guard and has worn a hole in the top due to constant play. Trigger is easily the most recognized sounding guitar in the USA. The guitar itself has quite a history. It has survived a fire and theft. It was also hidden from the IRS during Willie's Tax Troubles. Martin Guitar has offer Willie free replacements, but Willie is more than fond of Trigger. Willie has a Luthier work to keep Trigger playable after most performances. Yes, Willie is a great guitar player. All genre
I'm thrilled you guys finally listened to this song. I've been requesting it for a long time. I can't believe Dustin didn't comment on the harmonica in this song. Willie and Trigger brought down the house. Now you need to listen to Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground! It's my favorite Willie Nelson song. Other great Willie songs ate Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain and My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys.
Yes I bribed it after a backstage tour of ACL

I heard that harmonica for sure, and I think you might see me react to it a couple of times if you watch closely, but I was mesmerized by Willie. -Dustin
Willie was one of the most in demand session guitarists before he had his own thing going, his picking skills are superb. On the vocals, he is a jazz vocalist singing country. All his phrasing is pure jazz.
Always slightly in awe over SRV playing those 13 gauge strings lol. BTW there are a couple videos on YT of Stevie playing acoustic. One of them on a 12 string. Might be worth a listen off camera for you. Just search Stevie Ray plays acoustic. Willie, Merle, Hank Jr and Waylon were all really good pickers.
Willie was a session musician. He was a successful songwriter and got signed on the strength of that, but didn't become a "major recording artist" until his album "Redheaded Stranger" (his 18th) and particularly the single off of the album, "Blue Eyes Crying In The rain". I always thought that was ironic, since Willie had written so many hit tunes himself and that one was an old Fred Rose song, first released in 1947, sung by Roy Acuff.

Honor/Tribute Willie as he turns 91 in April. So excited for this as Whiskey River is one of my all-time Willie favorite.
Got to wish the Texas native a Happy Birthday
I got a picture of Willie’s favorite room at ACL it’s the balcony where he could smoke
This is the first time I've hit your channel. This was a great introduction to it. There's another ACL from the same era where he played the entire "Red Headed Stranger" album, and that one is a stone classic. Watch those two and you'll start to understand the genius of his songwriting and just how good that band was. You can thank me later. BTW, I subscribed just now. Good work, guys. Note that he's not just playing acoustic but he's on nylon strings to boot.
*edit* As you listen to Willie, pay attention to his timing, how his vocals play with the beat. He's a master of singing just behind or ahead of the rhythm, a very jazz like improv is in his music quite often. The old man can rock out too, when the spirit moves him. Willie Nelson is a national treasure, bless him.
Welcome to the Bourbonites family
I’m gonna request Willie Nelson “Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground” to give you a different perspective of him. And Willie’s guitar’s name is Trigger. Also, keep an eye out and see if you catch the hole in Trigger, right above the bridge.

I asked for this a BUNCH of times, but then i gave up. Glad you finally got to it. ❤. I TRIED TO TELL YOU GUYS YOU'D BE AMAZED
Remember reading that someone once said you ain't made it in country music until you sang with Willie.
This was a great reaction guys. I would recommend that if you're interested in similar skills on the guitar that you check out Toby Keith and Scott Ehrlich I'll never smoke weed with Willie again Toby Keith refers to that particular guitar technique as taking it back down to texas.

It's as much trigger the guitar as willie
I honestly feel like the two of you would absolutely love Willie's repertoire. As such, I'm going to recommend you check out his song "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground". In fact, I recommend checking out his version, and then checking out his son Lukas' cover. Because you can tell whose son he is, though there's still enough unique aspects to his voice and playing style that it's not an exact copy.

Keith, Willie’s guitar is named Trigger. When he was battling the IRS, he had to hide Trigger because of its value.

Wow, fun to watch. Like kids on Christmas morning! Good job Stephen and Kat. And I loved the younger video of Willie.
Huh. It kinda felt that way. - Keith
I love to hear Willie sing Crazy. Since he wrote it, I guess he knows how to sing it best.
And Jeeezus! Steven must like you guys A LOT.
@@susanprice3454 yeah just a little 😂😂😂
Now you know why Trigger (Willie's Martin N-20 classical or gut-string guitar) has a big ol' hole in it. He has a very eclectic guitar style fusing, country, blues, flamenco, jazz and folk.
Keith, you were talking about the differences in electric and acoustic, and how SRV used the heavier strings on electric. Check out SRV's 10 minute MTV Unplugged set with a 12 string single neck. You will cry and drool all over yourself. You're welcome in advance. Semper Fi.
This is the Willie Nelson we all love.
So many thanks to Kat & Stephen for all of this. I’ll never taste the bourbon 😢 but watching these guys realize the magic that’s Willie - ❤.
Stephen, thank you for bribing this one. Old school Willie got me flashing back to when losing myself in (classic) country music was one of very few ways I could mentally escape very chaotic parts of my childhood.
And this was a kick arse performance of it!
Your welcome
Thank you guys! You made Stephen and me so happy! What a great reaction! Stephen wanted to get you this Bourbon a long time ago. When I was in Texas at the beginning of March we went to Austin and took a backstage tour at Austin city limits. So of course Stephen picked Willie at ACL for this special bottle. Willie is amazing! And no, we didn’t get a bottle for us, Stephen just got a bottle for you. Enjoy it and thank you! BTW Willie kind of started Austin City Limits.
Oh man, he needs a bottle of that. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReactsthis year it’s too late. If he behaves maybe I’ll get him a bottle next year. 😂
@@Kat._Blue wait… Steven behaves?! Blasphemy! -Dustin
@@BourbonCountryReactslmao yeah yeah yeah 😂😂😂
@@BourbonCountryReactslet’s say, we are working on it, Dustin. Lmao I trained dogs, I’m working on training an American. 😂😂 lmao
I knew you guys would love this one with the guitar chops ALONE!
My mom’s family used to own a bar in Austin. They played with Stevie Ray Vaughan then often go hang out together at IHOP. My aunt knows Willie Nelson and she will talk your ear off about him if you let her lol.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Willie a few times. Such a sweet, nice, humble and funny guy.
That’s outstanding, and let her talk your ear off! -Dustin
I was asking my mom more about it yesterday. She said her uncle played drums for Joe Ely and that’s how they got introduced to Stevie. And the Thunderbirds also frequented the bar because Stevie’s brother played guitar for them. This was in the late 70’s through early 80’s.
This is Willie while he was still in his prime. There is a movie from this era starring Willie and Kris Kristofferson called "Songwriter" and its amazing. You guys would love it. Willie at his best. He also has an album called "Stardust" that is old pop standards. It was in the charts for ten years (78-88) and my favorite vocal performance by Willie. It is unreal. He is one of the most talented humans ever.
Stardust is soooo good.
The good things about my bribes is they are always rememberable even when they taste like candy corn 😂😂😂 I never disappoint and I will go out on the limb a little and say that I you two were too lost your favorite bourbons and ryes on the channel that I would have at least 8 or 9 on both lists
I saw a documentary on Willie Nelson once and it pointed out if you pay attention to his vocals you’ll realize that his style of vocals is actually Jazz.
That makes sense! - Keith
Willie used to come to town every spring like azaleas. I have seen him many times and he never disappoints.
“Like azaleas.” I love it.
Willie is an incredible guitarist. One of my favorite songs is the 2011 (?) release of "I Never Cared For You" it starts with an incredible guitar solo. Great reaction to this one.
Vote added -Dustin
Willie will grow on you, and he writes songs about everything. He's been doing it a long time and many people have made the tunes big hits. His guitar skills are apparent when he plays Trigger, but that old friend of his wouldn't take the playing he did in this review.
Great review as usual and it was good to see Keith's fascination with the guinea pig's casket. Thanks Stephen & Kat for going to Texas, seems a lot of great musicians were born in that state!
I thought his guitars name was trigger. But I was afraid to say anything in case I was wrong. I'm not sure of this too but doesn't he also have his own brand of whiskey
@@amandahandlin1405 I believe Willie had a company make a special edition bourbon to his liking. He also had a bio fuel thing too. He was looking to get the tax man off his back. These are memories I had over the years.
Trigger is the guitar with the hole from his pick in it. He will protect it with all means possible. They are old friends!
You should check out his Son Lukas. He sounds just like his Dad!
I always like to see someone hear or see Willie tear into it when they just think he’s a ‘country’ singer or a pothead.
I have seen Willie live twice. I was in Nashville in 2001 at some dive bar/restaurant that had a live band and all of a sudden I hear a familiar voice and look up and it was Willie. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Second time I saw him was in concert in 2004 @ The Tabernacle in Atlanta that used to be an old church now a concert venue but on the floor area there are no seats it’s standing only and the earlier you get there the closer to the stage you get and I was pretty darn early lol I have never smoked any weed but I imagine I got a second hand high in that place because everybody else was smoking 😂😂. This was when his sister was still with the band and playing piano. He for his age was very energetic and every so often he’d take off his bandanna and throw it out in the audience put a new one on then do it again. My favorite Willie songs are “ The Last Thing I Needed the First Thing This Morning “ and Willie’s cover of “Always on My Mind”

Hell yeah finally some one did the ultimate
His son Lucas is carrying on the family tradition! Great reaction guys! I got to see Willie play at small dancehalls when I was young. People were ALWAYS speculating his early death, he wrote a hilarious song called "I woke up still not dead again today" as a comeback to the bullshit. Lol his song with Snoop dog, 'Roll me up and smoke me when I die" speaks for itself. Angel flying too close to the ground is one of my favorites by him too. The man has talent. Songwriter, and Texas legend. We have a festival here every year called Outlaws and Legends. He played last year. He's BOTH.

My favorite thing about Willie is his songwriting skills. You should check out his catalog. Also you should check out his son Lukas Nelson singing at willies 90th bday party. Lukas is my favorite!
If I'm not mistaking you may notice Willie, has a set of vinyl sting's on his guitar, which I think he's named "TRIGGER" but those sting's make a very distinctive sound to them!! Willie's, great
And yes, he was laughing his ass off when Keith guessed the proof. 😂
hahahah, I'm not surprised. - Keith
If you want to experience Willie... try "Last thing I needed" or "Angel flying too close to the ground"
Added that vote -Dustin
Glad you enjoyed the bourbon and the song. Willie actually help start Austin City Limits up, the first song performed there was this song. I picked the video because of his guitar skills. The bourbon was ranked as the number 1 bourbon by Forbes magazine. People line up and camp at Garrison brothers in advance of the release, it’s not cheap but worth every penny. And yes I was lmao at your proof that’s Hazmat level bourbon.
Seriously. Need one of those big white spacesuits to be around it. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts😂😂😂😂
Great job guys!.. Love Willie and now I have to get some Garrison Bros!
You want be disappointed
No, no you will not. - Keith
You should do Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain by Willie.

Please react to Dirt Cheap by Cody Johnson!!!
Allegedly, that coming soon from a briber! -Dustin
Love me some Willie..great reaction
and we love willie. Period
Willie was one of the BEST concerts I've EVER attended!! I saw him in 1993, same year he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame! Back then you could wait around at his bus...he came out and signed autographs for every person who waited in him! Pictures too! His talent was AMAZING! The acoustics in the theater he played in were SO GOOD as well. He is such a talented man. Not to mention the countless songs he has written for others!!🎉❤
Willie and Trigger.❤❤❤
These guys are legends for a reason!
Yes if you are drinking this bourbon and close your eyes you can see and smell the bluebonnets, see the the wide open fields, smell the streams, see the sunset over the fields and view that Texas sun fall and dream about the stars while drinking this, it’s that damn GOOD
What’s funny about this video is Dustin looking at the camera after his first sip like he was stealing something from the candy store taking his second sip😂😂😂😂
His guitar, Trigger, has a lot of wear on it and has been repair many times to keep it from falling apart. If I remember correctly, the IRS took everything he had due to back taxes. He either got to keep Trigger or it was bought back. He has written several songs that you would probably know or at least heard of. Great Reaction.
He asked his daughter Lana to take the guitar away from his house before the Irs got there and it was given to his attorney to keep in his house and given back to Willie when his debts were paid😂
He hid Trigger from the IRS
Makes me want to hear Bloody Mary Morning.
Vote added -Dustin
I didn’t know h3 played like that either !
What….you thought he just had a distinct voice? That was fun to watch.
his guitar is a martin n-20 with nylon strings and electric pick up
I didn't talk about the electric pickup, but I did note it was there. No microphone for amplification. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts "Trigger" is a story in itself.
Keith -- what's that a chalk outline of on your shirt? Lol.
Barber Motorsports Park. It's a racetrack map. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts 👍
Yessir Willie all the way
And now I want to know who won that very special bottle. 😂
That would be me. It's ok. There were no bad choices that night. No losers of the coin toss. We had a run of really good stuff. - Keith
Keith got the hamster coffin
Easy for the winner to say 😂-Dustin
@@BourbonCountryReactslmao one gets the cowboy bundle the other gets the Guadalupe bundle 😂😂
@@BourbonCountryReacts in German we say, sometimes you loose and sometimes the other guy will win. lol 😂
Love this one ❤
