“The main reason this song resonates with so many people isn’t political. Raw, solo songs with titles like “I’ve Got to Get Sober” and “Ain’t Gotta Dollar” helped cultivate a small following, but it was the recently released performance video of “Rich Men North of Richmond” - in which the red-bearded Anthony performs the song on a resonator guitar in a field with a deer blind behind him - that caught the attention of conservative personalities like country singer John Rich and commentators Dan Bongino and Matt Walsh. In a video Anthony posted to YouTube earlier this month, he says he started writing songs in 2021 after he “wasted a lot of nights getting high and getting drunk.” “Rich Men North of Richmond” is a passionate screed against the state of the country sung by Oliver Anthony, who identifies as a farmer living off the grid with his three dogs in Farmville, Virginia. It’s not breaking any ground in terms of storytelling at this point in his long career, but it’s a fun enough song that wouldn’t prompt me to switch the radio off.Right-wing influencers are losing their minds over a new country song that just appeared on streaming services today. Lyrically, it feels a bit like his 2015 song, High On Life it shares a similar sentiment of being high (or drunk) off of the simplicities of a Southern lifestyle. Sonically, it’s a fun, light track filled with nice touches of fiddle throughout. Overall, Southern Comfort is a very safe, pleasant song from Darius Rucker.
Burns Like Her will ultimately catch the ear of mainstream audiences and hopefully bring more listeners to the red dirt sound he’s known for. It sounds much more of a stadium crowd-pleaser compared to many his dive bar-esque tracks, but that’s not a bad thing by any means. It has some slick electric guitar work, great vocals from King and simple albeit catchy lyrics that don’tsound AI-generated. Unlike Chevrolet, the track sounds like a radio song that actually brings something to the table. 8/10īurns Like Her is one of the most mainstream-sounding tracks I’ve heard from Randall King so far, but I honestly don’t hate it. The closing lyric, “I could ride this rollercoaster for forever and a day.” is such a simple, yet effective one that feels equally romantic as it does effortless. The song is a delicate one playing with the “opposites attract” concept. Rollercoaster throws a wrench in this notion and completely strips back everything with a piano ballad and hints of a violin strewn about. It’s the sound they’ve built their brand on because, well, it sounds incredible. When you think of Brothers Osborne, you’ll most likely think of rocking, electric guitar-heavy tracks such as It Ain’t My Fault, Stay a Little Longer, and Shoot Me Straight. Rollercoaster (Forever And A Day) – Brothers Osborne The combination of acoustic guitar, banjo and fiddle interwoven into the production provides the perfect amount of backing to this expertly written song.
He packs the track with incredibly detailed imagery/phrases such as “with aging eyes as misty as an early mornin g dew” and “then we sat there in silence as he held hands with her ghost.” These lyrics show the poetic side of Acuff’s songwriting and show the strong disconnect between prominent independent songwriters and the shallow lyrics many Nashville writers are pumping out lately. From deluxe editions of albums to singles and brand-new projects, this Friday, September 15, has plenty to offer from a wide range of different artists.Ĭherokee Rose is an absolute heart-wrencher, depicting the story of a man reminiscing about his late wife, the titular “Cherokee Rose.” Acuff’s storytelling ability shines here. It’s finally Friday, and that means one thing: new country music.
