The renewed sound of the past coming from these young men these days is just absolutely incredible and a breath of fresh air. We counting on y'all to do big things! Awesome track man. It's like southern country rock from the 70s mashed with a voice similar to the lead singer of Cage the Elephant and we get Hunter Root. Take my money when's the tour???? 🤣🤣 Gonna leave this here so whenever someone likes it I'm reminded to listen to it again.
You always could before just had to go to a show, check out the local area. Shoot I got records from back in the day of STL MO blues from 60s and before. Good times. Still exists out there.
@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239 he's not rapping 😆 he's clearly playing a guitar and singing and seems to be a talented person. Don't hear any auto tune like quite a few rappers, pop music or even country pop. Try again and be a bit more respectful.
@@Danniedorito You are an idiot that doesn't know music. They ripped off the entire back track of that song from Ain't No Rest For the Wicked. And Rhyming is rapping you stupid cock sucker! AHHHH! Flex in your face bitch! BANG BANG!
Sang the words leaving nothing out played his guitar smooth as white Gin n some get up in his whiskey barrel kick ass coming from a rat in the sticks hahaha *what else you got Heathen*
My best friend brought me here, he was born and raised in the cities of California but moved out into the sticks of Arkansas where I met him. He was a country boy at heart, Seth Aiken I miss you buddy R.I.P this one's for you
Ditto!!! Hit home with never been to a highschool dance I was in love with a bad romance... All the lyrics people around suffering... All your loved ones a mess. Someone ready to raise hell cuz you're using the jazz cabbage. Love it. Hunter used to play a lot in millersburg peace of mind Cafe. Hauck family are musically inclined and had success with having gems like hunter and peoples blues of Richmond TIM to play therapy. If you're in pa HIGHLY SUGGEST a visit there. I know Hunter was traveling last I heard. I assume he will be back.
I am 56 - grew up on haggard and jones and waylon - im not exactly why but i dig ur music - keep on with it - compared to that color by numbers crossover pop bullshit they play on the radio i will take this all day long - keep on making good music
Americana - storytelling through music, especially string based music Country music cones from an office nowadays, Americana comes from a fire pit in the woods.
Why the hell doesn't this have more likes or views! This is something I'd love to hear on the Radio, and a lot of people around here would as well. New favorite 🔥💚
Absolutely phenomenal. In every sense of the word phenomenal this is phenomenal. Life changing and life saving stuff right here. I was 28 years old first listening, now I'm 29 and the song hits differently. God bless you bro.
LYRICS: Gettin’ drunk by the figure 8 Figure one more beer oughtta set me straight Young and carefree as a boy could be Whiskey, smokes, and LSD Railroad tracks run along the creek Walk em up and down in the summer heat Same ol’ boy changing like the seasons Country kid turned into a town rat heathen Daddy’s in jail for a dui Brothers in rehab a second time Fucked up on salts and spices of all kinds Legal drugs doing double damaged to your mind There must be greater forces at play Too big to see and impossible to say No one in life makes it out unscathed Aches and scars Now I think we’re even Country kid turned into a town rat heathen Gettin’ high by the covered bridge Granny find out gonna flip her lid Never did go to a high school dance I was in love with a bad romance Now I’m 28 with these aches and pains Pray to the devil now with each complaint No one in life makes it out unscathed Aches and scars Now I think we’re even Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
Dude this guy is really good. Can relate to this forsure. Come from small town of tonasket in Washington moved to Spokane bigger city am officially a town rat heathen
So happy I found this..Love it.veru 70s throwback southern rock ,blues,country.. its always a good feeling knowing people are still making good music✌️💕😌
This old Dead Head says, I dig it the most.!!!..Just discovered this today, and it hits with a heavy choke, and cough..Just when i think theres nobody putting out anything killer anymore i find some cool jams like this..
All my life I've spent listening to the music from the 70's. These days I'm finding more and more new artists with this beautiful classic rock blues sound. You've made an old woman very happy.
reminds me of steve earle copperhead road. i love this sound...southern blues / rock/ grassroots. NEED MORE LIKE THIS ONE!!!!!!! keep on keepin on, rockin out bro!
Yeah finally thanks to God I'm a country boy this is country music no love it I'll bless you Mr Hunter best wishes and keep the music coming cuz I enjoy it very much other music your music feels good one love my brother!
Caught a clip of this randomly... Came straight here and played 8X straight 🔥🔥🔥 Dropping everything i had planned, picking up the acoustic and will play non-stop til I got ur down 💯
This song has kept me alive since i found it. Idk what it is. But its working. So ill be back again, tomorrow or maybe as the sun sets. Teary eyed just trying not to die
I guess I always assumed that line is about the gas station drug trend because of the “salts and spices” line. Remember bath salts & spice? I have a friend who had a psychotic episode induced by “spice” and it took her a whole year+ to recover.
I fought that after Days of the New nobody will have this acoustic awsome spirit .....and here it is ...... Australian musicians can only sit and polish his shoes
Dude seems heavily inspired by not only music like that of Tyler Childers and Billy Joe Shavers but also by the sound of 90s grunge/post grunge. Very talented kid.
As someone who typically doesn’t listen to much released after ‘94 - I am so blown away. This would have to be my new favourite song! Absolutely unreal. I hope you blow up to become something massive! 🤍
I've been Janming this cruising the city my jeep through main street during happy hour. I will say this song turns some heads! Why isn't it #1...oh well not meant for a town rat heathen. Love you bro!
Can't stress this enough, when you don't like today's country sound, it's a blessing finding diamonds in the rough like this guy.
100%!

Some's fast. Most are slow. But good nonetheless
Amen 🙏
Myron Elkins and the dying breed is another good band with that old country vibe

listen to Mimicking the Sun album, sounds similar to Alice in Chains if you ask me. New favorite man. Every song is incredible.
crazy how good these young guys are thank god for social media and youtube we can hear great music
Sounds like they are rappers and simply took the music from another song and added new lyrics to it. Basically a weird al of country.

This song is top notch. I just randomly clicked this vid in my algo and damn I so happy I did. Discovered a diamond.

LYRICS:
Gettin’ drunk by the figure 8
Figure one more beer oughtta set me straight
Young and carefree as a boy could be
Whiskey, smokes, and LSD
Railroad tracks run along the creek
Walk em up and down in the summer heat
Same ol’ boy changing like the seasons
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
Daddy’s in jail for a dui
Brothers in rehab a second time
Fucked up on salts and spices of all kinds
Legal drugs doing double damaged to your mind
There must be greater forces at play
Too big to see and impossible to say
No one in life makes it out unscathed
Aches and scars
Now I think we’re even
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
Gettin’ high by the covered bridge
Granny find out gonna flip her lid
Never did go to a high school dance
I was in love with a bad romance
Now I’m 28 with these aches and pains
Pray to the devil now with each complaint
No one in life makes it out unscathed
Aches and scars
Now I think we’re even
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
I think it may be…..legal drugs doing double damage to your mind.
thank you
🕺 THANKS 👍
now I think we're even. 🎶🎵🎸
I’m super picky about what I think sounds good, and I take a lot of pride in my taste in music. This person is about to blow up. ❤
And if not, then something is wrong in this world
if you want him to start sharing it every place you can

Absolutely! I’m kicking drugs the doctors had me on so I can clear my mind and focus on the lord and not
My big Pharm meds

I guess I always assumed that line is about the gas station drug trend because of the “salts and spices” line. Remember bath salts & spice? I have a friend who had a psychotic episode induced by “spice” and it took her a whole year+ to recover.
He killed this verse. 🔥
Your music is great. Keep working hard and your music will always be here. Build a legacy

Maaaaannnnnnn, real music, real artist... keep it comin'
Absolutely one of the best musicians i've heard in the decade.
great voice and storytelling in your songs hope you keep it up.. LOVE!!!
I've been waiting for a artist and song like this for so long.... Dude! This is proper songwriting
The simple fact of being in the middle of nature making music is enough to feel full namaste.
I’ve listened to this multiple times a day since I came across it! Love it!
Im glad there are still people who love the classics.
Absolutely love it! This has to be my favorite song, I can feel it coming from your heart!
Just the most relevant track of the year, sneaking by you.
Holy shit I got this on loop! Good stuff Hunter! I can feel your vibrations from Boston. Keep shining brother!
Where have you been all my life??!?! You are just too smooth. Whatever "it" is lord knows you got it in spades lover!
Dude seems heavily inspired by not only music like that of Tyler Childers and Billy Joe Shavers but also by the sound of 90s grunge/post grunge. Very talented kid.
Came to UA-cam looking for something new I can vibe to. Gah dam, I'ma fan.
Subscribed after hearing only half the song. Deep, relatable lyrics great music great message keep doing you brother
One of my favorite country songs by far. Never heard of this guy till I heard this song. Now he’s one of my favorites. Keep up the good shit!
As someone who typically doesn’t listen to much released after ‘94 - I am so blown away.
This would have to be my new favourite song! Absolutely unreal.
I hope you blow up to become something massive! 🤍
I've been Janming this cruising the city my jeep through main street during happy hour. I will say this song turns some heads! Why isn't it #1...oh well not meant for a town rat heathen. Love you bro!

Me too and I'm 51! I'll never grow up tho!
Wussup neighbor, from Haywood Co.
