I'm a Black man from New York and I feel your music especially Rich Man... I salute your truth brother. We as Americans need to come together, stop the race card and set this country right! We the ppl are the backbone of this great nation!
@@jacobsawley98I'm assuming you don't know how music videos are made. They're not recorded on site of the music video.

Oliver Anthony heats up the blood of redemption boiling in the veins of Americans everywhere today! Thank God we can still be heard. Thank you Oliver Anthony! ❤🇺🇸😘
@@andymontgomery9330 Thank you! I am a writer and I tell you Mr. Anthony’s song and soul resonated deeply with me this morning and obviously many others.
When I was a young girl, I visited my grandpa's hometown of Blackwater, Virginia. Virginia is always singing to me since that day. And y'all don't know the beauty of Virginia unless you've been in the Appalachian mountains.
I believe his style is Appalachian , that being said it's all the same in our hearts . It's the sound of the struggle of everyday people , & from the soul . Something everyone can understand regardless of the music you prefer or the color of your skin or nationality . I pray to Jesus he doesn't take him home too soon like he did with Stevie ray .
@@davidwashburn5848 He has said before, that he can't take credit for that sound. Though, I also feel the Appalachian style to his music. I've listened to many of his songs. Appalachian, at least the Virginia Appalachian area, is not too far from him, but he is not from there. Obviously, the Appalachian area varies greatly because it goes much further North and South of Virginia. I hear the folky, Appalachian, and original type country....where it really all started in America, in his music for sure. Simple, from the heart, authentic, and a bit twangy. Not that 'Western' or honky tonk southwest sound. He's great. Hits the soul for sure!
@@shane5261 God Given Blood... We all have it, just need to tap into it... Seek and Speak the truth in all things. Use our God Given Free Will, unafraid... to share this truth with others.
A million views in 3 days. Just shows how badly we need real music with a message these days. Thank you for your artistic contribution to a crumbling society. Makes the pain a little more bearable.
Got this country boy tearing up. This is authenticity my soul needed. And I thought real country was dead. Hank Williams would tap his boots listening to that
Dear Stranger , i love how you've made a impact with so many folks alike. I personally love this song the most. I am Proud 12th Generation Virginian and this track just feels good ! Much Love and Respect, Brother! Stay True and Always stay with the Light!
This man's voice and words give me goosebumps. I can smell the chicken and salmon patties cookin in great granny's kitchen after church and hear my mom call us all in to eat while my cousins and uncles laugh and pick music on the porch. It's memories of the good 'ol days that Oliver brings back. 😊🌾🌻
There are literally thousands of guys doing this....... just because the internet jammed one idiot in your face doesn't make him different.... grow the fuck up
Damn man. This song threw me back 40 years to when my dad was alive and I'd sit by the box fan in the summer while my dad would play. Thank you for that memory. North Carolina says hello.
The setting and filming of this video was brilliant! Love the sitting position taken for this and the placement of the chair in front of his car. The close up of the backroad tire and the dogs gives it all a feel of relaxing- down home -welcomeness & fits the words and voice to a 'T', This song and the setting earns five golden hearts :-)🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
As a Virginian, I have memories of myself & my husband riding in his truck in the country going to the little white shack we’d camp out in by the river. We chose the countryside as our home.This hits my heart hard!
Watched my daddy work, sweat and bleed for the man for 50 years now I’m 22 years deep. I played this and cried. My the Lord bless you all the days of your life!
This song is beautifully poignant. I have very fond memories of living in VA. You’re lucky if you still live there and fortunate if you’ve at least visited. It’s absolutely beautiful. I’m glad he wrote this song because it touches even a non native who has a deep love for this gem of a state❤
I can’t believe this guy has just been singing songs in the forest with his dog going unnoticed by the world for so long. Dude has a world class voice and sings with a lot of soul.
I grew up in Powhatan Virginia, and my mom always had a crowd over picking and making some amazing music when I was growing up!! My mom played /picked the hell on a 4 string banjo! I'd play mandolin and would sing she'll be coming around the mountains when she comes! 🎶 with the whoever would come over to jam with my mom! I know the slices of heaven that Virginia is. I feel like Oliver is my neighbor and like-minded friend! ❤️and I'm so proud of him. I know God will keep him humble and protected! 🙏❤ There is a whole lot of soil in country Virginia for sure! 😊
speaking from knowing the music industry..... they only want money. NONE OF THEM HAVE PURE INTENTIONS. I dont care how much they preach that theyre on our side or olivers. give him a contract and let him keep ALL THE PROCEEDS. Then youll know whos real
@jasonalzuto1794 nah he asked kindly, give it a listen, it's not bad at all. When you have a passion for something and a dream you want to be heard. Oliver is getting his, we here listening to it and here is another man chasing his dream, not hard to click and give it a listen my guy. Think if it were you. Hope you have a great day
My husband came from Charlottesville Virginia... It is so beautiful there... we had to move to the West Coast in the 1970s, but I will always consider Virginia the most perfect place in the USA.
The places like Fairy Stone Park, Mount Rogers, Floyd county,, and many more , they ARE a slice of heaven on earth. When you leave them, a piece of them goes home with you, no matter WHAT state you live in. I HIGHLY encourage anyone falling in love with his songs to make a trip to experience what he is singing about. Your soul will thank you.
As good as rich men north of Richmond is, it’s not even his best. I’m so glad I have been introduced to this man’s music. When I say I like country music, this is what I mean
Just as my friend says, today songs are about drugs, cash and (usually casual) sex. xD He IS a fan of rap and hip hop but it can be heard in the pop genre as well. It permeates the whole industry. Sadly an industry, long gone are the days when music was an art. You can take movie or game music as a work of art, but all the pop, rock and other genres are mass-produced garbage nowadays. Independent music is salvageable, but when someone's contracted to a production studio more often than not it's SHIT.
Nowhere in America will you find a greater combination of history and scenic beauty than you'll find in VIRGINIA---the mother of states and the mother of presidents!!!
I 1st listened to Rich Men North of Richmond and fell in love with his voice and U.S.'s new National Anthem. I'm black and he has turned me on to Country music. Great looking guitar. May God Bless You, keep it up. You should receive an award for RMNOR; it tells exactly how everyone feels and the world is. Thanks Again
His guitar is a resonator guitar, which are louder than regular acoustic guitars and a favorite of bluegrass and folk music singers. They are also called Dobro's.
Damn, brother… you put me right back in the ozarks with this one. I was driving down a dirt road I haven’t seen in ten years with my father, who’s been gone for five years. The good LORD has blessed you with a rare talent. Thank you for sharing it. 🌸🌺III🌺🌸
Oliver has his own UA-cam channel named Oliver Anthony. Everyone should go and blow his channel up with some love. What an amazing gift to be able to reach everyday Americans using musical talent like his. Not all musicians have this gift that he has. Truly remarkable.
Pure backgrounds that makes you really appreciate his art it comes from a pure place he’s singing from . Rich men of Richmond and his others bring me to tears..
Also South African in Oxford England. Keep it raw buddy! I can feel the raw honest truth in your songs. Whatever you do don’t sell your self to the devil.
This sound is reminiscent of the days of past, when the AM southern stations could only be listened to after darkness fell and 'skip' sent the airwaves to trembling. Soulfull feelin's spread all over the country... Even the one tube and crystal radios of the 'barely surviving folks, picked up those words of every man's (including woman's) heartfelt life experiences. ;}
Rich men north of Richmond is a hit no doubt! I just sincerely hope people aren’t sleeping on his other music. This song, Gotta get sober, etc. are absolute bangers! If Rich men north of Richmond brought you here do me a favor and keep listening to this guy because he’s worth it. Keep doing your thing Oliver Anthony! - a big fan from WV coal country
@@johnlebzelter4208 EVER BEEN CALLED OUT ON FRAUD ? LISTEN TO TYLER CHILDERS Kentucky born artist on charts for years ... this guy Oliver Anthony should get called out ! Seems like I heard his entire song before with diffrent lyrics .....and it ain't him singing brother lol
Remain yourself and don’t let them corrupt you brother. Your music is what most of us feel inside but can’t express it. Thanks for telling all our stories.
Don’t ever get in the way of a country man with a dream. I was born in Kentucky and raised in Virginia. I’m a proud coal miner/baptist preacher’s daughter ❤❤
@@thomascolbert2687 It isn't jealousy brother. Its just simply not possibly not possible to achieve that kind of reverb naturally. That being said, the musicianship Oliver has is still incredible regardless if these videos are live or not.
@@GoFukoff How do you feel about Fame without money? Oliver is here to send his message, he doesn't want either. Also the OP didn't say anything about fame or money.
I grew up in greene county indiana. This sentiment is golden. All of my best friends and people i love respect our land and love. This is a true ballad of country love. God fucking bless you brother. The lord is on your side, because you made him your ally. Absolute unconditional love for you and your mission and your music.
Thanks for writing a song about our home - The Old Dominion!! Virginia has the best people and the most beautiful landscape! Never want to live anywhere else🤩
As a NATIVE OF VIRGINIA, (with 250 plus years of my family, both sides, that have called Virginia home) I APPROVE OF THIS SONG!!! Southern Virginia, THE REAL VIRGINIA, HAS SPOKEN!!! God bless you Mr. Anthony🙏 A TRUE SON OF THE OL SOUTH, THE OLD DOMINION, VIRGINIA🤠
Oliver is a "classic car barn find" for some of us. There are truly gifted singers out there that haven't been found by the masses. Glad he was given the limelight he deserves.
Because the masses don't want to think or truly feel anything. They want to be numb, so mainstream music gives them 2 inch deep songs and a catchy, meaningless chorus.
You know a song is special when the truth of it raises the hairs on the back of your neck. Keep preaching the truth in your songs --- We The People need your voice.
others would have sold their soul for fame and fortune. Not this man. *All it takes is one song to change and wake up humanity* This guy was chosen, and he did not give in. This is pure heaven. 🤩
Virginia is my home and it’s beautiful to hear how this state has swept you off your feet. For me I’m from the beach but I’m always called back home no matter where I try to venture off to. God bless you sir and all that the Lord is going to do through you, hallelujah!
Stirring up the soul of this 71-year-old used to be folk singer. I was the coffee house variety in rural Arkansas. Keep it up my friend as you got it where it counts, in your soul.
Bravo Monsieur, grâce à vous les américains remontent dans mon estime. Pour moi, vous chantez la véritable âme des États-Unis, Dieu vous voit et garde. 👍
❤❤❤ this man has healed more souls since the times of Jesus! And nobody in the fake media can touch him! He has brought all of us who bleed 🩸 red together as brothers and sisters and children of god. He’s brought back hope, faith and love to all of us! Now we all need to stand up and use our voice and love for one another with the mark of the pen in 2024. Lord protect this heaven sent angel to unite us all again! My soul feels cleansed ❤
I hope this isn't a reference to voting for the Republicans in 2024. Fact is, both parties are just as broken as the media that attempts to give us their opinion day in and day out. Chris has already made it clear that his music is NOT in support of either party. And for that, I thank him.
“Preacher talk about heaven. Son, it sure sounds nice. At least I can tell em’ I had me a slice.” Dude has some of the best lyrics I’ve heard in decades.
Rich Men North of Richmond was uploaded to streaming platforms tonight! Give it a day or two to pop up!
Keep it up brother!
You're the man! I live about an hour from you.. looking at buying some land in the mountains. Are you doing any shows soon?
Congrats man, very happy for you and your success!
It's time to buy up some tickets

Oliver is a real blues man singing with pure soul! It can't get any more real! There is no one like him!!
Greatest picker since Curtis Lowe. Say what, six dogs on it.

We need more pure clean heartfelt songs again… no violence, degradation, vulgarity or division… just good old school reminiscence.

Did it yesterday. He seems like a great dude.
I subbed this morning 👍 this popped up I thought it was his channel at first. But yeah head over to his channel to show some love.
My heart feels your music, You are what our country needs right now, Bringing us all together, no race card involved.
Pure backgrounds that makes you really appreciate his art it comes from a pure place he’s singing from . Rich men of Richmond and his others bring me to tears..
I'm a South African in Ireland and fully identify with your songs. ...sing it like it is bro. God bless you.
Ayyy I'm South African too
@@RobinoftheHod paganism inherently rejects the idea of God, Jesus, and monotheism. So you're just a bit off there
Also South African in Oxford England. Keep it raw buddy! I can feel the raw honest truth in your songs. Whatever you do don’t sell your self to the devil.
oh stop there were millions of gods before yours ,,,,,,grown ups believing in magic is pathetic. @@Caught_On_Dashcam
@@RobinoftheHodThis is not the Vikings show stop with the belligerence 😂
No gimmick, this is so real, I just can't describe how soulful is his voice - a blessing to hear
This is pure gold. Your talent is worth 8 mill all day
This sound is reminiscent of the days of past, when the AM southern stations could only be listened to after darkness fell and 'skip' sent the airwaves to trembling. Soulfull feelin's spread all over the country... Even the one tube and crystal radios of the 'barely surviving folks, picked up those words of every man's (including woman's) heartfelt life experiences. ;}
Rich men north of Richmond is a hit no doubt! I just sincerely hope people aren’t sleeping on his other music. This song, Gotta get sober, etc. are absolute bangers! If Rich men north of Richmond brought you here do me a favor and keep listening to this guy because he’s worth it. Keep doing your thing Oliver Anthony!

Don't ever change Oliver ...you got something this world is lacking....heart and soul ....keep em coming brither
Your comment is real, just may want to adjust your spelling of “brother.” Before some whacko calls you out on it.
@@johnlebzelter4208 isn't any spelling counted in what counts.
If he doesn’t change to the mainstream narrative they’ll burn him as they did Trump
TYLER CHILDERS ? look him up people ?
@@johnlebzelter4208 EVER BEEN CALLED OUT ON FRAUD ? LISTEN TO
TYLER CHILDERS Kentucky born artist on charts for years ... this guy Oliver Anthony should get called out ! Seems like I heard his entire song before with diffrent lyrics .....and it ain't him singing brother lol
This young man sings from his soul. Country blues sound to make Waylon Jennings, George Jones, and Hank Williams proud.
I'm from Oregon and I'm a long ways from home and I LOVE this song.
Why isn't this on the radio yet.. come on now.. this pure blues/country..
I’m from Michigan, a country boy and this man touches my country roots. Sing on brother, sing on!!!
When a guy singing and pickin in the tall grass with his dog gives you goosebumps it’s the real deal❤️God Bless you Oliver!
🎯
Favorite song so far
Man I’ve listened to your music all day at work today! Truly gifted by the big man to send a message to the masses I reckon! Legend!👌🏽👊🏽🇬🇧
His voice is addictive. So genuine and raw! I hope Oliver goes far and makes more music that cuts us all to the bone.
Remain yourself and don’t let them corrupt you brother. Your music is what most of us feel inside but can’t express it. Thanks for telling all our stories.
Alot of us have been saying exactly the same stuff he said for years now
Like his yodeling!
Amen.
So over 3 weeks we have had masterpiece after masterpiece. Fellow Virginia brother I feel this to the bone.
Don’t ever get in the way of a country man with a dream. I was born in Kentucky and raised in Virginia. I’m a proud coal miner/baptist preacher’s daughter ❤❤
I love how this guy’s recording booth is nature. It’s just such a beautiful thing.
it's not, the video was shot separately
@@stefan.avramov Why do you lie like that? Jealous?
@@thomascolbert2687 It isn't jealousy brother. Its just simply not possibly not possible to achieve that kind of reverb naturally. That being said, the musicianship Oliver has is still incredible regardless if these videos are live or not.
@@timechild1261 how does a modern microphone pickup the sound of the *_old soul??_*
reverb was added in later@@brysant_
This guy about to blow up and I’m here for it
Don't wish money and fame on anyone. With money and fame comes the matrix. Corruption.
@@GoFukoff How do you feel about Fame without money? Oliver is here to send his message, he doesn't want either. Also the OP didn't say anything about fame or money.
God bless our great Common Wealth of Virginia. NOVA born n raised Sic semper tyrannis.
I grew up in greene county indiana. This sentiment is golden. All of my best friends and people i love respect our land and love. This is a true ballad of country love. God fucking bless you brother. The lord is on your side, because you made him your ally. Absolute unconditional love for you and your mission and your music.
😮 Wow! Oliver, please don't you ever change. We, the blue collar, country, working class people love your songs. God bless you brother.
Loving this song in the hood of Columbus Ohio!!
This one sounds like Hank Jr.
Welcome to bluegrass music
@@ktanner11 I grew up on it. My mother is from west Virginia
This dude is for real. Not just a one hit wonder. Great job Mr Anthony 👏
That’s no joke, go look at the charts… He’s number one, number two, and number three right now.
he glows
Thanks for writing a song about our home - The Old Dominion!! Virginia has the best people and the most beautiful landscape! Never want to live anywhere else🤩
Sending love,honesty is a commitment to truth,even when it’s difficult or inconvenient,have you seen this gem live??
As a NATIVE OF VIRGINIA, (with 250 plus years of my family, both sides, that have called Virginia home) I APPROVE OF THIS SONG!!! Southern Virginia, THE REAL VIRGINIA, HAS SPOKEN!!! God bless you Mr. Anthony🙏 A TRUE SON OF THE OL SOUTH, THE OLD DOMINION, VIRGINIA🤠
Oliver is a "classic car barn find" for some of us. There are truly gifted singers out there that haven't been found by the masses. Glad he was given the limelight he deserves.
Exactly !!!!
Well said.
@Caught_On_Dashcamgood god be quiet please
Because the masses don't want to think or truly feel anything. They want to be numb, so mainstream music gives them 2 inch deep songs and a catchy, meaningless chorus.
You know a song is special when the truth of it raises the hairs on the back of your neck.
Keep preaching the truth in your songs --- We The People need your voice.
Yes!!!
others would have sold their soul for fame and fortune. Not this man. *All it takes is one song to change and wake up humanity* This guy was chosen, and he did not give in. This is pure heaven. 🤩
Virginia is my home and it’s beautiful to hear how this state has swept you off your feet. For me I’m from the beach but I’m always called back home no matter where I try to venture off to. God bless you sir and all that the Lord is going to do through you, hallelujah!
This man is bringing real country music back to its roots wow
Stirring up the soul of this 71-year-old used to be folk singer. I was the coffee house variety in rural Arkansas. Keep it up my friend as you got it where it counts, in your soul.
Jesus loves you
Love it!
Young man, you’re still that same folk singer and don’t ever forget it 💓
Im from Arkansas as well what amazes me is the amount of reach this song has to people whom I figure would never listen to the genre.
Bravo Monsieur, grâce à vous les américains remontent dans mon estime. Pour moi, vous chantez la véritable âme des États-Unis, Dieu vous voit et garde. 👍
❤❤❤ this man has healed more souls since the times of Jesus! And nobody in the fake media can touch him! He has brought all of us who bleed 🩸 red together as brothers and sisters and children of god. He’s brought back hope, faith and love to all of us! Now we all need to stand up and use our voice and love for one another with the mark of the pen in 2024. Lord protect this heaven sent angel to unite us all again! My soul feels cleansed ❤
I hope this isn't a reference to voting for the Republicans in 2024. Fact is, both parties are just as broken as the media that attempts to give us their opinion day in and day out. Chris has already made it clear that his music is NOT in support of either party. And for that, I thank him.
“Preacher talk about heaven. Son, it sure sounds nice. At least I can tell em’ I had me a slice.” Dude has some of the best lyrics I’ve heard in decades.
I’ve listened to this on repeat for awhile and that is by far my favorite line.
