I love that half way through this became two FBI agents trying to solve a cold case. I died.
Also, FYI, "don't trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer" is good advice to this day.
Moxie Dawn You got that right. My daddy always said don’t ever forget, it doesn’t matter what side they’re representing, at the end of the day all those lawyers and judges meet up at the country club to drink and they play golf together on the weekends.
True words.
Amen
Especially if you’re black or brown.
Underrated comment
Your reactions as the story unfolds...priceless.
Old-school Reba was a savage! Many of her songs tell a story and they almost always end with somebody dead.
Fancy is one of the greatest songs & videos EVER. Classic.
@@thatsentertainment2840 yes! 👏💞
This isn't Reba's song; it's a lot older than she is. Vicky Lawrence made the first popular recording in 1972.
@@jeanmc4213 Reba was singing in the 70's which is CRAZY to think about, lol! She just looks great for her age. I don't think she's as old as Vicki, but she's up there. I'm younger, so I became a fan b/c my dad was. She's amazing & can SAAANG!
I know you like the story telling in country music, try Johnny Cash "A boy named Sue"
Or the "Automobile" song!
Souix
one piece at a time?
YES! YES! YES!
Please!!
I still have difficulty wrapping my head around the fact the first version of this was recorded by the woman who played Eunice's Mama on the Carol Burnett Show (as others mentioned, Vicki Lawrence).
Actually, in the 70's the reaction was kind of the same. "Vicki Lawrence? Carol Burnett's Vicki Lawrence? THAT Vicki Lawrence?"
Yes... THAT Vickie Lawrence
this is a cover of a 1972 song written by Bobby Russel and sung by none other than Vickie Lawrence...that's right Momma from Momma's Family.
Returning home from a two-week trip to a place called Candletop, a man, identified only as "Brother", stops for a drink at Webb's Bar before going home to his wife. While there, he encounters his friend Andy, who informs him that Brother's wife has had affairs with both Andy and another man, "that Amos boy, Seth."
Brother, angry and scared, goes home to find his gun, presuming his wife's continued absence was because she had left town, and quietly makes his way through the woods to Andy's house. On the way there he finds a set of footprints leading up to and back from the house, but they look too small to have been made by Andy. Arriving at Andy's back door, Brother looks through the screen and, to his horror, finds Andy's dead body. To get the attention of the Georgia State Patrol, Brother fires a shot in the air; the sheriff on patrol mistakenly assumes that the gunshot was the one that killed Andy and arrests Brother for murder. In a show trial, the judge wastes little time declaring Brother guilty of Andy's murder and then sentencing him to death by hanging, which is carried out in short order.
The story wraps up as the narrator, revealing herself as Brother's younger sister, confesses that it was she who had left the footprints that her brother had encountered on his way to Andy's house, and that she had not only shot and killed Andy with her own gun, but the adulterous wife as well, in her case disposing of the body in a way that no one would ever find it.
In the song's chorus, Little Sister blames the Georgia criminal justice system for Brother's death, warning the listener "Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer, 'cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands."
matt johnson explained well
copied from wikipedia...a lot faster and easier....even tho i just watched the reba video and was not aware that the judge was banging his wife too lmao...only in country music
matt johnson
They also attempt to explain this song at the beginning of the Quentin Tarintino movie Reservoir Dogs.
Arfnudaniack Blue
They started with like a Virgin then they argue about whether it was the sister or the cheating wife who shot Andy.
I never knew that about Vickie Lawrence or maybe I did at one time and it slipped my mind.
Whiskey Lullaby will make you cry it gets me every single time
Tierra Birdens me too
Reba's video makes the story clearer. Thanks
I would love to see you guys react to Randy Travis "three wooden crosses." It's a beautiful story I think you guys would really enjoy
Yup beautiful song! Love to see the reaction to it!
yes! I love that song.
TheHawkibillyRanch deffinitly agree
TheHawkibillyRanch yes
Yep Three Wooden Crosses is waaaaay better classic country tune than this Reba song. I mean, I like Reba but c'mon really? The night the lights went out in Georgia? Really?
You guys should watch the video! It shows her as an old woman telling this story. I won't give everything away, but... y'all need to watch the video😉😉😉 #freethinkers
Fantastic video!
That is an excellent video!!!!
That’s a southern little sisters love for her Bubba that’s protected her her whole life 😘
Chrisdee: And, she let him hang for a crime that she committed....
@@arx754 you got it all wrong the brother took the blame to prevent her from being hung
@@christophermiller3338 : That's what I'm saying. She LET him take the blame, knowing he'd be hung instead of her. He did a courageous thing in doing that, but what does it say that she let him?
@@arx754 you realize nobody would have believed her at the time right?
She got him killed lol
Yes this is a cover of Vicki Lawrence's song from the 1970's. Yes the same Vicki Lawrence who plays Mama in Mama's Family! This song is brilliantly written...
James Butler Vicki makes it stick too. I like Reba, but Vicki's version gets me.
I like that Reba had done a cover of the song and more folks can appreciate it, but I think the original done by Vicki is more haunting. Beautiful and yet eerie and sad.
James Butler. Never knew this existed. ua-cam.com/video/wMD5nBcPrCk/v-deo.html
Johan Bear that was everything I never knew I need. Thank you for that!
The Vicki Lawrence original is better. Vocals smoother. But I'm not the biggest fan of covers always.
I was a radio announcer in Country radio starting in the late 90s when parents were freaking out because their kids were listening to "Gangsta" Rap at the time. It was actually kind of a big deal during that era. I used to make fun of what I referred to as "Violent Gangsta Country" when I played this song, as well as several Johnny Cash tunes and going all the way back to Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell! I would say to my listeners, "Yeah, Rap tries, but we have the market CORNERED where it comes to sex and violence!" It didn't always make me popular, but it sure made people think! To this day, I challenge you to show me the poetic difference between Merle Haggard and Dr. Dre! It's the stories of people who have seen some serious shit! That simple.
Tommy Culver 💯 you must have been a top tier radio announcer! That’s awesome!
In middle school we all leard square dancing, and one of the first songs we learned how to dance to was Copperhead Road, re-listend to it a while back and realized it's a song about generational moonshiners running and killing government men and their grandson growing weed instead of making moonshine fighting off the DEA with guerrilla tactics he learned while in vietnam and violent ptsd lmao
Lol excellent! Kinda like when they called the white Hurricane Katrina survivors rummaging through stores “foraging” but the black survivors were “looting”. When are we gonna grow up as a nation?
The actual video tells the story really well. You all should watch it.
Yeah, you really need to watch the video of this song.
"The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" is a Southern Gothic song, written in 1972 by songwriter Bobby Russell and sung by (his then wife) Vicki Lawrence, an American pop music singer, actress, author and comedian (co-star on The Carol Burnett Show). Lawrence's version, from her 1973 Bell Records album of the same name, was a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 after its release. In addition to several other renditions, the song was again a hit in 1991 when Reba McEntire recorded it for her album For My Broken Heart. McEntire's version was a single, as well, reaching number 12 on Hot Country Songs.
Released as a single in June 1972, the song would ultimately become a number-one success for Lawrence, topping the Hot 100 chart in early 1973. Lawrence was, at the time, a regular performer on the ensemble variety comedy television show The Carol Burnett Show; on the final episode of the sixth season (March 24, 1973), Burnett surprised Lawrence by presenting her with an RIAA gold record for over a million copies sold. The song also scored number six on the Easy Listening chart,and it peaked at number 36 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart.It was number one for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, and was finally topped by Tony Orlando and Dawn's "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree". Billboard ranked it as the No. 11 song for 1973.
In Canada, the single version scored number one, as well, topping the RPM 100 national singles chart on May 5 of the same year.On the RPM Country Singles chart, it reached #25.
Tim Carder Mamas Family!
yup yup :-)
never thought I'd see Reba on this channel lol ... I still watch Reba, she's hilarious ...fun fact, she was in that movie The Little Rascals lol
Kenny 92 She had her own tv show too. But I'm sure y'all knew that lol
I'll always remember her from Tremors
Clicked on it right away, this song is def something I remember from childhood so cool to see a different reaction than you would normally see.
AJ Ferguson!!
I think the judge got andy killed framed the guy who told andy. Southern lawyer was judges son . judge was amos.
Vickie Lawrences original version was spooky! My favorite
Awesome.I agree,
Wow! I did not know that version existed. Tha is for sharing
@@AUNTIE-DEE Vickie's husband at the time was the writer of this song
@@Nitro1970 Oh wow! So interesting, thanks for the info.
Mine too. Shows my age too. LOL
You can't doubt Reba, she is awesome.
I've also noticed several requests for Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley & Allison Krauss. That is on of the greatest & saddest country songs ever written but it would be a great reaction video. If you're gonna do country, that song definitely needs to be on the list!
Vicki Lawrence is the original singer singer of this song. If you don't know who she is watch The Carol Barnett show or Mama's Family. She plays Thelma Harper.
I’ve been a Reba fan my whole life, literally, and this is a great song, but she didn’t write it. She didn’t even sing it first. Vicki Lawrence sang it back in the day.
Yep, i remember watching the carol burnett show when vicki lawrence sang this song on her show in the 70s.
But she made it her song cause she sang it better like -willie Nelson and Blue eyes crying in the rain
Kristy Good sane I was raised on Reba.
Like Johnny Cash and Hurt. Trent Reznor from NiN came out and said that song belongs to Cash.
@@DerrickRG exactly. I've always been a fan of Nine Inch Nails. BUT I cried hearing Johnny Cash sing it. Cash definitely made it HIS song
Let's hear some Brooks N Dunn!! One of my favorite country bands. You won't be disappointed
Neon Moon! It's a classic!!
Yes
SoCal YESS the son Believe!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do Fancy by Reba McEntire!!! Greatest song by her! Still gives me chills to this day!!!!
Love that song!! 😳😳😳
Jami Brinker please listen to the original by Bobby Gentry. Many of Reba's biggest hits were covers.
Oh God no. That song is THE Worst!
Also not her sing, but Bobbie gentry
@@marylhere thank you!!!
This song has a pretty cool history. Vicki Lawrence, of The Carol Burnett Show and Mama's Family, first made it famous. Her first husband, Bobby Russell, was the songwriter. Vicki Lawrence took the song to number 1 in 1973 and received a gold record. Surprisingly, as popular as it is among fans, Reba's version peaked at number 12 on the Billboard charts.
I personally love Reba and am grateful to you for noticing the lyrics above the music. She has always been one to want to tell a great story through her songs so that she may connect with her audience and is very selective in that category.
You guys should do Chris LeDoux, "this cowboys hat".
Chris Mcneely yes texas country!
YES, 100% agree.
Hell yeah
Ooh, good song
Great story behind it as well
The Vicky Lawrence version of this song was one of my favorites as a kid. Great review!
React to Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby ft. Alison Krauss
Y’all will love that story
Sea Bass think they did that didn’t they
Yes they did
Stevie Ray Vaughan!!
SOME BLUES PLEASE
SRV!
SRV!
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Mostly all other reaction channels have done him!
Jean-Luc Ortiz...yeeessss!!!
Texas flood
Cold shot
Lenny
Hells yeah! We need some southern blues rock going on.
SRV, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Joe Bonamassa, Government Mule, Blackberry Smoke, Henrik Frieschlader, Tedeschi Truck Band.
C’mon man!
Sitting here watching their reactions because I knew what was coming. This is a great song and I love your reactions!
I requested this 😃😃 so excited!
Oooh I was not expecting to see a Reba reaction. Yayyyyyyy 💕
PLEASE do "Teddy Bear" by Red Solvine, it will make grown men cry - promise!
Truth!!
Yes!!!!!
Even more tear inducing is Red's The Last Goodbye...
Wow, you guys actually did my request. Im good for life. I always tell people country has some really gangster stories!
CHRIS STAPLETON - “EITHER WAY”!!
Flawless song writing. Flawless vocals. You guys would love it!
Love watching you guys discover each of these songs because I had almost the exact same reactions to every country song you've featured. It's reminding me a lot of my journey into country music. I moved to Georgia from Long Island, NY when I was 14 and became immersed in pop-country of the time, but as I've gotten older I've really gravitated more toward the classic stuff and I love it. Your videos are great. I just found you guys today (2 years after you made this video) and I'm looking forward to learning about other genres other than country by watching your videos.
The wife was sleeping with everyone, that's why it says the judge in the town has blood stains on his hands... That is a really old song she redid, but I love watching y'alls reactions to everything... So glad you are exploring more old school country... Try some Gary Stewart, his life, real everyday life, was a sad country song... But he had a sound so defining, you know it instantly... Thanks for doing what y'all do, I love it!!!
Watched Reba perform this live...chills. Thanks for the reaction. #freethinkers
She stopped performing live, I believe, after the Columbine school shooting. At least for a little while. She didn't feel comfortable singing about shooting someone, with kids in the audience after that. I don't know if she ever played it again since I've never seen her live.
Mario Gillette interesting. This was before Columbine.
Jeremy Bro I'm sorry, I can't find anything to back up my claim, but I clearly remember her saying that she was going to stop playing it. BUT, in looking onUA-cam, I have found newer liver versions by her, so she at some point started singing it again.
OMG I’m so glad you guys popped up in my recommended. I’m binging your videos. God y’all made me laugh in this one. Excellent video.
I did the same thing about a year ago. I still go back through and watch my favorites or see if there are any I missed.
Garth Brooks - The Thunder Rolls or That Summer!
Joel Rodely That Summer is great!
Pretty sure they did Thunder Rolls.
They did Thunderstruck
Yup. They did thunder rolls already.
Link?
Jamey Johnson- In Color. great song. please react
Zach Arendt yes do this one great song
Yes!!! Great song!!! 💗
This was gonna be my selection. I definitely want to see what they think.
Zach Arendt - live at tanglewood is the best version I’ve seen. Terry Kath’s solo is epic!
Also, “I’m a man” from the same concert...enough cowbells to knock out a herd of cattle.
Glad you guys did this song. It's one of the best narrative songs of all time and even though it was a cover, Reba just killed it. This THE exact song that got me listening to Country music.
Jamey Johnson In Color. You will love it
Wannabe Outdoorsman hell yeah they would
I love this song so much! It gets me all in my feels and reminds of my great grandparents
Yes!!!!!!!
Wannabe Outdoorsman yes please do this
They would really like this
What about the Devil went down to Georgia looking for a soul to steal? Thwarp! Thanks y'all! 👊😈
Al Grabar -- I was having a demonic possession of a human. Who repossessed me? Repro but never recreated. Good luck with that. Ha. Ha.
Al Grabar -- I just commented that! YEAH!!!
I suggested it a while ago. Cause you know they gonna like the devils funk groove. I always thought the devil won. 👍
VIM EXT yes 😁😁😁
He was in bind because he was way behind, he was willing to make a deal
I remember when this song first came out in the 72-73 by Vicki Lawrence. I liked it back then cause of the story.
I had that version on a 45 growing up! Reba's is good, but I like Vicki's too - probably because it's the version I heard growing up.
I always loved Vickieçs version better. I love Reba, she is a legend, but I think this song was meant for Vickie Lawrence's vocals.
@@KarenBarberaBITA I think the B side was Dime a Dance, I loved that song too.
This has to be one of my all-time favorite Reba songs along with "Fancy" and "Why Haven't I Heard From You".
Jamey Johnson- in color!
Good choice.
They did it
I've heard this song a hundred times but never got as much out of it as I did watching your reaction - Please keep doing what you do - I loved it!
"She Thinks His Name Was John" tells a pretty good story, too. Most of Reba's songs paint pictures you can get lost in while riding in your car and listening to the radio.
Beth Grogan - I was obsessed with that song!
yes she can
Vicky Lawrence's song. 😉
Huge fans of what you guys do, I’ve been a loyal free thinker ever since the Stapleton video went big. My biggest recommendation for you guys would be to check out Zac Brown Band, they are considered a country band but they can play just about any genre. I would recommend Colder Weather or Goodbye In Here Eyes, two very great very emotional songs.
phillyphan11266 Colder Weather is so gorgeous! I’d click on that review so fast!
This is a hug and awesome surprise. Damn I love me some Reba
Time marches on - tracy lawrence
it was vicki lawrence, but ya...she did it first...was on the carol burnett show...and played mama on the spin off show
Check out Dwight Yoakam! He's by far my favorite country singer, and one of my top male vocalists period.
How have yall not don Fancy by Reba? Your comments on that should be priceless
If you're going to listen to Fancy, you should really listen to the original version by Bobbie Gentry. She wrote it and performed it. If you've never heard Bobbie Gentry before, well let's just say you have to hear her for yourself.
When people say country lyrics are bland, formulaic, or "simplistic" songwriting i play them this. Its the perfect example of the "storytelling" vibe you only get from country.
YES REBA!!!! Great choice guys.
She lived in my town for years. She is a genuine person. Seriously love this lady.
Solid reaction guys!! Been a fan for about 7 months now!! I absolutely love this song. And Im glad you did too.
Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley
Sweet On Life shuuuttt uppp
Excuse me? The song is actually sung by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss who has won more Grammys than any other person in history. So you need to go sit down with your bad taste in music.
Megan Stallings Nope she’s tied with Quincy Jones and they’re both tied for 2nd!
Let me get the tissues ready for crying...
They did It
Loved how the story caught you off guard!
I’ve never heard this version; I grew up on the Vicki Lawrence original. Vicki Lawrence was actually known for being a comedian and an integral part of The Carol Burnett Show for many years!
Y’all should do Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss! It’s such an incredibly sad song, but there’s such an amazing story to it! One of my absolute favorites!
Amy Wright they should definitely do this!!! Let’s get it guys!!!
BattleHog 81294 do it come guys
one of my favorite songs since I was a kid.
Just found you guys last night,enjoying your energy, by the way, this is garlands wife Lynn, he like me to say that so you know it's not his comments. ..like it mattters
It matters to guys 😆
Mama tried by Merle Haggard or Kentucky Rain by Elvis Presley
Elijah Hibbard KY rain is such a good song! And you can't beat the KING!
Jamey Johnson, In color! You will dig it!
They saw ya buddy! Great song choice
Thanks fellas! Keep free thinking alive!
They have done this one
This comin from a 66 y/o white great grandma and i just wanna say , you two are so handsome and funny ... a real treat to watch !
Man, you guys need to listen to _"When I Call Your Name"_ by Vince Gill and Patty Loveless.
So many good songs to recommend, it's hard to choose just one.
Yes its a great song
YALL. Great reaction as always! You’ve got to check out “The Highwayman” by outlaw country supergroup The Highwaymen.
Also, you still need to give Amon Amarth another chance! “Twilight of the Thunder God!”
And that's why Reba is a legend, she makes you stop and think, provokes thought deeper then just simple listening. Watch the video it does it even more so
David Alan Coe - The Ride
all time classic
DAC. You never even call me by my name
Yes, do the ride
Great song
Hell yes.
Check out The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels. The king of country fiddle solos!
Or Convoy by CW McCall for some good old 'trucker country' music. Either version is good.
Michael Wolfe "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is country rap. It's a classic.
Actually, originally a hit for Vicki Lawrence (from the Carol Burnett show) back in 1972, and written by songwriter Bobby Russell. Reba did it justice, but it will always be Vicki's voice I hear. Good job guys. :)
I am SO HAPPPYYYYYY!!!!! To see this. Thank You!!!!! OMG this is the dream.
Just discovered your channel (thanks algorithm) and somehow it's two hours later and I should be asleep. Love your takes on these songs, I've gained a greater appreciation for some of my favorite songs because of you guys.
I would be curious as hell to hear your thoughts on Jolene by Dolly Parton. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
Fancy - Reba has a great story too!!!! One of my favorites along with this one!
Man, I love this freakin' cchannel and open minds to listen to all kinds of music!!
Marty Robbins, El Paso... he’s one of the best lyricists I’ve ever heard
I love that song
You caught my attention with the Golden Knights hat! (FLEURY FAN HERE!) Now I can't stop watching, you're just so entertaining.
Garth Brooks "unanswered prayers"
Justin Swinehart live with the whole crowd singing along
Jonathan Young Central Park.
Guys, do Tool - The Pot, been a while since the last Tool video. Greetings from Brazil. Keep up the good work.
Rafael Latini yes please
Thank you for appreciating this song, one of my favorites 💜💜💜
This is real country music!!!
PLEEEEASE react to Garth Brooks- The Thunder Rolls. Preferably the live version as it has an extra verse!!
Absolutely!! His song The Storm also gets to me hard!! 😢
Yes, please!
It does! It's AMAZING!
Yes! Please do this!
You guy's are great!! Love to see your reactions ..How downright funny and how humanely real your expressions get..keep it up I want to see more..
Love watching you guys break down songs. Gotta keep requesting "The Pot" by Tool. You're gonna love that bass line
You guys should take a listen to Tim McGraw's "Don't Take The Girl" it is a heartbreaking story
Christopher Word I think they did
I love watching you twos reactions to listening to songs for maybe your first time, or putting the face with the singer, etc..
One of my favorite Reba songs!
Man I love y’all’s videos. I’m so glad you reacted to one of my favorite songs. Keep it up guys!
The devil went down to georgia! *Charlie Daniels*
George and Ryan:
Reba is Kelly Clarkson's step mom-in-law.
Missi Reason Kelly Clarkson's husband is Blake Shelton's manager
bflandragon90
Yeh, Kelly said this is why she is on the Voice vs. American Idol. Being on the Voice just made sense. She met her hubby after a duet with Reba, kinda neat they met that way.
Love that you guys are listening to all types of great music!!! React to Conway Twitty’s “Thats My Job” Please, thanks!
Jason Adkins Why do you wanna make these boys cry infront of everybody man? That song is to much! Lol
I want to see what they think
The writing in the song and the instrumentals in this song is so good it's amazing, I remember listening to this song as a kid and never noticed the story just singing the chorus lol but as a adult I love this song
Some others I’d love to see reactions to:
George Jones - The Grand Tour
George Strait/Alan Jackson - Murder on Music Row
Patty Loveless - You Don’t Even Know Who I Am
Patsy Cline - Crazy
Conway Twitty/Loretta Lynn - You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
Travis Hart If you do Country,you have to do some Possum
Nice one! Do some Stevie Ray Vaughan! Live version of Little Wing!
I probably haven't listened to this song in twenty years, and now I'm going have to listen to this song again. Thanks for that.
You should react to Brad Paisley, Whiskey Lullaby
Never assume someone singing a country song actually wrote it. You do have a few who sing their own songs and have original content, but most are part of the "Nashville machine" and are handed songs to make music to. It's one of my biggest complaints about country music and why I switched to metal and indie songs.
That being said, I don't care who wrote this song, it's fantastic. Reba is one of the best female country singers.
One country song you guys HAVE to react to is Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue" but make sure you don't get the radio edit.
RvBDopp Yes! I would LOVE to see their reaction to A Boy Named Sue.
Boy Named Sue was written by Shel Silverstein.
Yes it was.
😳
Definitely do Boy named Sue
Lol... I grew up listening listening country but I never thought about people who didnt . It's funny watching you guys's reaction...
Would like to see what you guys think of Craig Morgan. His song "Almost Home", to me, is one of the saddest songs, especially as I get a little older, and very visual. He has many good country songs but that is one of my favorites.
