10k subscribers as of this video. THANK YOU ALL!

Somebody once asked Dolly how she liked Whitney’s version of “I Will Always Love You”. Dolly replied “I like it just fine, every time I hear I’m making money”.

The song was recorded to commemorate the Country Music Association Awards reaching its 50th year. Originally, CMA Awards producers had wanted to record a cover of a single song; the idea to instead record a mashup came from Joseph Kahn, who directed the song's music video. The song was recorded in a span of three days in Nashville, Tennessee in June 2016 with Shane McAnally as producer, with the music video produced concurrently. So says wikipedia

The song “I Will Always Love You.” was Dolly Parton’s song; Whitney’s version was a cover. Dolly wrote it for Porter Wagoner as a way to show she was ready to leave his show and pursue a solo career. Another interesting fact, Elvis Presley once showed interest in singing it, but he wanted half the publishing rights and Dolly wouldn't agree to that, so Elvis didn't sing it. Dolly first realised it back in 1974. So, the song is older than some might think.

Honestly thank you guys, I havnt laughed this much in a long, long damn time, I have had this on loop and still can't stop listening. Actually enjoy your comments almost as much as video reactions, almost and Keith 👍 👍 .Seriously congrats on reaching 10k viewers, glad I could be apart of it. And cheers to the next 10k

this was a compilation song for the 50th anniversary of the cma's more than 50 artists contributed to the vocals, Artists of then ,now and forever.

Dolly Parton is the one who originally came out with I Will Always Love You. Love Keith's reaction to being Rick rolled country style.

The legend at the piano!! Ronnie Milsap - Stranger in my House & Smokey Mountain Rain. Smokey Mountain Rain was written in tribute to Elvis. Ronnie was the studio pianist on “Kentucky Rain”, and a friendship formed.

That 1st look should be a meme.Now we know what little Keith looked like sitting on time out.Congrats on the 10k and more importantly all the knowledge you guys have gained.It was like proud parents watching you recognize the artists.

BEST REACTION EVER, so much amazing talent in that song, lovely vocals and such a surprising mashup. Thank you Steve.

Love watching Keith’s reaction to this song.

I’m still laughing about Keith’s reaction. Great one Stephen. 😂 Here in Munich/Germany they play country roads in the beer tents at the Oktoberfest. Every German knows that song. A couple weeks ago we had our first ever regular season NFL game in Munich. And the whole stadium sang country roads and sweet Caroline. Congratulations to 10k subs. You deserve it big time. 🎉 And Dustin enjoyed Keith’s reaction as well. 😂 You guys are so funny.

OMG! BEST REACTION EVER! BAHAHA I have had the best day ever, after this!

Thanks for making this ole lady laugh great reaction Keith lol! Dustin your face that sheer joy ! Congratulations on reaching 10,000 subs!!

"Isn't this Whitney Houston's song?" OMG NOOO!!! Whitney did a pretty good cover of Dolly's original masterpiece!

I started laughing when I saw y'all were reacting to this. This is one of the greatest collaborations ever

How did I miss this video? 😂 Congratulations fellas!

Love how Keith just does the entire shot in the beginning!

Thank you! I needed to start my day off with a laugh! It's not been a great 2023 yet. Hoping for it to start looking up! In the last 2 weeks I've been told there might not be a solution for my debilitating back pain, and I just need to learn to cope with my TBI. Then on Sunday my Father fell and tore his Hamstring! So yeah, a good laugh is totally appreciated!!! On the song, I really appreciated it for what it is. I think if it had been ANY other song you both would have absolutely loved it! The vocals were amazing, and the post production on both the music and video were top notch! I loved seeing all the old greats, the current greats, and the young greats sharing a song together in such a magical way!

😂 I'm laughing with Dustin! Great performers, great song...lighten up Keith!! Thanks for a great reaction 😅

😂 Epic reaction …I had to text this to my man because he has heard this exact rant about the Blue Ridge Mountains…dude is singing about western Virginia NOT my home state which is the REAL “Almost Heaven”. I swear it is in part that everywhere we go we hear “oh you are from WV…I’ve been to Roanoke or so and so is from Virginia”. Our ancestors literally seceded from Virginia…Hillbilly Proud runs deep where I’m from. Thanks for the entertainment guys. Loved the reaction. Side note: Keith will feel me here. I had to give it up and start enjoying the song because get this. My guy from CA visits Spencer 1 time…we took him down route 36 and even 16 thru Grantsville…mama used to drive away games from there to Spencer and was known for speed…she had him green and clinging to the oh schist bar! Good times 😂 he was all…that rig is in our lane…Mom says he knows…he’ll get over when we get there LMAO. It was fall and beautiful and he was hooked. We got back to the Bay Area again and he would NOT stop singing it. I mean he knew the whole second verse by heart and serenades me with the darn thing…sigh. Careful how much you protest my man cause I sounded just like you and now it’s “our song” and his ring tone. It plays everywhere we go lol.

Loved the reaction as always. But this one was epic. Go Steve!!

I too am West Virginia born and raised… mid Ohio Valley on the river…. My family has very deep old roots here and I love my state and wouldn’t live anywhere else with the exception of maybe Montana… but when I’m gone I want to be 6ft in these mountains. I’m a proud Mountain mama and even though I’ve lived “in town” since the birth of my 19 yr old, I am a few miles away from my very rural roots and can’t wait to make it back out to the woods. I LOVE MY STATE. I would never change my roots or disrespect what has made me who I am… the good, the bad, the sad, the ugly and the love. One must humble themselves. Keith reminds me of my cousin Bobby (looks just like him) but it saddens me deeply his feelings on our beautiful but sometimes tragic state. My heels are in and I will not waver on my pride and self humbling of my state and it’s people. I had friends that couldn’t wait to leave so he’s not alone but it’s terribly sad… to each their own, but NO WAY IN HELL do I wanna live anywhere but here, in West by God Virginia

This is still my favorite reaction video EVER

hehehe I had to rewatch, I needed a laugh and this one will not disappoint. 🤣🤣🤣

Dolly Parton - I will always love you Willie Nelson’s - On the road again John Denver - Country roads I was hoping a -re-watch after the shock…a lot to appreciate from so many Country greats. Most of all, a silent Randy Travis sitting and looking out the window.

The thing to remember John Denver appeared nowhere in this instead it was a cast of most of these people are people that you really enjoy Martina Reba dolly in the book of performances cannot be faulted. The look on your face Keith was. Well done Steven.

Thumbs up to Steve, that was priceless

Lmmfao, Keith's reaction then Dustin laughing his ass off. Yeap I got ya Keith

Lol 😁 This is me running to the comments to see how many Dolly fans Keith triggered with the Whitney Houston comment 🤣 I love this song. There's a video on the making of this music video if you want to understand it better

It's three different songs combined and that song was Whitney Houston in the movie but originally it was Dolly Parton who wrote it even Elvis wanted to record it and she would not let him and it's an amazing if you take all the aspects and put them together

Steven sure sends in a lot of Bribes. Steve you pick good songs for them to listen to keep it up!!

Dolly Parton wrote "I will always love you" and it was her song first

It's just a song; come on guys' and John Denver is dead. This video was made for the 50th anniversary of the Country Music Awards. AND as a side note, "I will always love you" sung by Whitney Houston, is an old song written by Dolly Parton. ❤🎼🎵🎶

Yes, 10,000 subscribers! Way to go guys!

Congratulations on the 10K. It's been fun watching you from barely any subs to now. I come for the entertainment more than the music anymore. Well played Stephen!

Beautiful song! You're hilarious Dustin!

They took 3 songs and mashed them together, no just the country roads song. Great reaction.

Hey Steve…you are awesome! Thanks for the entertainment…this “Like” is for you. “Everyone except Steve give us a like” LMAO. Excellent bribe.

9:48 Exactly.. That's what drives me crazy when I see so many people request reactors who are new to the genre to react to songs like "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" by George Jones, a great song that references the names and nicknames of a bunch of legends. Reactors who have no clue who they are, are not going to get the full impact of the song, and might even think the song is just "meh". But for some reason, people incorrectly think it will hit the reactor with the same feelings that they get from the song.. Make sure the reactors some familiarity with artists who are being referenced first, before requesting that they react to songs like that.

The Keith Shot is EPIC!

Being from West Virginia born and raised has such beautiful scenery I wouldn't live any place else my stepdad was born in Virginia and loves West Virginia

This was a hoot! You seemed to notice Trisha Yearwood's voice. The Song Remembers When would be a great one to try.

It doesn’t matter how much of the mountains and river are in WV. The sound is about a specific place in WV and the roads to get there. The Ohio rover is very much a part of life here in Huntington, WV. The fact it’s shared by 7 other states doesn’t change it. So I don’t see what the issue is with the lyrics of the song.

thank you for this one Stephen it was on my list for my next set of bribes.

John Denver is awesome. I love his music

we're all laughing our asses off

Congrats on 10k.

Dustin, the girl you first asked about was Kacey Musgraves and yes, Keith, that was Ronnie Milsap.

The song is written about getting to West Virginia. Country roads is the roads getting to West Virginia. Specifically route 28 which goes through Maryland and Virginia. The song was written by a woman named Taffy who was part of the 70s band named Starland Vocal Band. They were famous for the 1976 hit Afternoon Delight

I loved Keith pouting...was awesome

Ok im late to this, im sorry but i love country roads & back home again. My daddy sang those as lullabies all through my childhood. We tried to sing it on his deathbed without losing it. I get it though im not bitching, i love watching you guys!!

That's not a Judd, it's Trisha Yearwood.

Dolly wrote "I Will Always Love You". She also performed it and then let Whitney release it! You are the only person I have ever heard say they dislike that song.

To be fair John Denver had never actually visited West Virginia when he wrote this. 😅 Keith wasn't around back then to set him straight. 🤣

Guy on the right is crazy for not liking country roads. And also not knowing that dolly sings "I will always live you", just adds gas to the flame

Love this video and most of the artists

I never heard of someone who disliked country road. Blows my mind. I never knew they existed.

Keith since you dislike John Denver, I would suggest Charlie Rich "the most beautiful girl" or "behind close doors". Charlie set award card on fire during award show after John won an award for "County Roads" in protest of John Denver. Widely considered one most famous County Music award moments good or bad

Good job poking the bear lol !!!

You know at least in the beginning of this song the first person that started to sing Country Roads was at least Brad Paisley someone who is actually from West Virginia LOL but aside from the first song that was chosen to go into it appreciating the legends that were singing all these other songs and songs that weren't even theirs for some of them and then some of them singing their own classic songs when you get a chance you should probably react to the women of country music tribute that aired on the CMA Awards a couple of years ago it was pretty good and had all these legendary women singing together also there is a video here on KZfaq of Carrie Underwood singing at the Grand Ole Opry and she sang some hits that were done by other legendary women you should probably check it out she really shows how great her voice actually is it was actually amazing all of this other stuff aside you guys now know that your subscribers are going to now send you bourbon bribes to do songs that will just totally screw with Keith now LOL

Okay that was funny.. but what I want to know is which ones you didn't recognize, because obviously we need to get you those people. Great job boys and Stephen, you deserve a medal.

Dang! his panties jumped right up into Box Canyon on that.

I bet the womenz loved this reaction and probably laughing there ass off like I am

So here is a fun fact, Brad paisley is from from West Virginia, so him starting the song is another way to poke the bear 🤣

😂 Go Steve!

The songwriters of country roads didn’t know that the mountains and the river ran through 9 miles of WV but when they were asked about it and he said that the narrator of the song was traveling through Virginia to get to his home in WV

LOL could not stop laughing at Keith

It is not about the song country roads by John Denver it is about the country roads that the performers have taken

Nice Grunt Style Shirt

Drive-by truckers Daddy's cup Steve McQueen Billy Joe Shaver Georgia on a fast train Guy Clark The guitar

The girl you were asking about near the beginning was Kacey Musgrave. She has some great songs like "Merry Go Round" "Biscuits" and "Follow your Arrow".... nevermind just saw y'all reacted to her already lol

I love this. I love John Denver though too. Lol this was a super arrangement with super talent.

Ronnie Milsap!

Dolly wrote I will always love you and Jolene in the same day ! Please guys you should know this !! Lol 😂

Listen to the Statler Brothers version of Country Roads (the Statlers are from Staunton VA) they changed the lyrics to Virginia not West Virginia….sorry it’s a great song!!!

DOLLY PARTON WROOTE I WILL ALWYS LOVE YOU IN 1974

Rick Astley wasn't in this video, so you couldn't be Rick Rolled.

I am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What's funny is Keith really did want to laugh. I saw his little smirk he gets when he thinks something is funny

I will always love you. Dolly wrote it and sang it first long before Whitney ever sang it.

A better (IMO) version of this without any reference to Country Roads is a song called Same Old Train from the album A Tribute To Tradition.

I agree with Keith the song county roads absolutely sucks it’s in my top 5 worst songs ever

Share this with your friends and family #PokeTheBear

i'm from brazil but i love american's style

Congrats on 10K! I'm not a Denver fan either. You gotta do a song from Little Big Town, or Hardy - Give heaven some hell!

Have ya'll done George Jones' Corvette Song?

Keith. Virginia doesn’t scan as well. Ever heard of poetic license? 😂

Yes...yes he did!!

After this video I think Keith is gonna revoke the invitation to come drink bourbon with em. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Keith, yes, Stephen pulled a fast one on you, as you would never had reviewed this song if the title appeared. Still laughing ...

Evil sadistic Hahahaha Keith

You also need to do some Little Big Town (the 4 some). Girl Crush will surprise you. Beer, wine & Whiskey, Hell Yeah and Boondocks.

As a lifelong country fan…this song is a whole movement ❤ they had the OG’s like Vince and Reba…the youngins of the late 90’s and 2000’s…showed Randy Travis even though he couldn’t sing..then finished it up with Queen Dolly 🙌

It's called a mashup up various songs and get off your damn high horse, even if there was even one foot of the topography in West Virginia it makes the lyrics valid.

Look pass that and look at all of those amazing singers in it it was the best old and new singers best

Mate, you realize that the blue ridge mountains are literally in the WEST of Virginia, right? So it can be thought of as either "West Virginia" or "The West of Virginia 😂 There you go, I fixed it for you 🤭

Chill out dude! It's a tribute to country music! Does West Virginia have country roads? Or are those just in Virginia too?

Yeah should check out Hardy the mockingbird and the crow. It would be straight up yalls lane. Going out on the ledge but it could be Playlist for y'all.

Poke the bear, Rick Rolled Keith
