A country boy doesn't mean black or white. It means self reliance, loving your family and God, caring for you neighbor. Keeping guns to protect but never to start harm. Great reaction and analysis. First time listening buy really enjoyed you

"We say grace and we say ma'am, if you ain't into THAT we don't give a damn". Much respect for breaking down the song and giving Bocephus his props.

I’m from Arkansas, when a boy turns about 10, he gets a fishing pole & a 22 rifle and is expected to bring home food! 😂

This is old country when it was real country

Neat thing about Hank Jr. is that he fell down a mountain as a young man and lived. He fell off of Ajax Peak while hiking in Montana. He fell upwards of 440 feet and lived, and kept his music career going. He ain't kidding about being able to survive, cause he already has.

I was in a coma in ‘21 for 2 weeks. Doctors thought I was brain dead until my sister played this song for me. I’ve been getting better and stronger ever since! Country folks can survive 💪

I'm a West Virginian born and raised, and this song speaks the truth. We country folks can survive

Being a country boy from SW Virginia, it brings a tear to my eye when I see people from other areas of the US showing respect to us country folk. We are not that unlike, one thing I took away from my years in the service, we are all humans trying to make in this world, we have similar wants, needs, and even senses of humor. Had some great times with people from all over the world! Thanks you sir for having an open mind and you seem like a great guy!

“If you ain’t into that.” Not back. This is a great song. I was a city girl from Boston and when I went into the Army, I spent almost 6 years in Georgia! I can assure you I was indoctrinated on country music and found out what a git was (love grits now). Love that you are open minded about what you listen to. Best regards.

He said "if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn" 🙂 Great reaction!

I am a white man and just recently got into watching music videos reactions. Can't tell you how uplifting this journey has been for me. You, Polo, are among the best of those who try to join cultures based not on a common hate, but a common love, which is music. Experiencing and appreciating the art of each other's cultures brings us together amid a very toxic division in today's age. Well done and keep up the great work, my brother!

I was born and bred in WV and he is singing the truth. The best food is cooked outside over an open fire. In the morning coffee, biscuits and gravy is heaven. Took baths in the mountain spring water. Proud of being hillbilly Went to North Carolina and said, "Yes Mame" and I was pulled to the side and told we did not like that because it reminded her of slavery. Sorry, but to me it was respect for the person asking me the question. Still saying yes mame, no mame, yes sir, no sir and will say that till the day I die. Love the song because he's right, that is the way of life in the hills of WV. GOD BLESS❤️🙏🇺🇸

This song is an ANTHEM not just music. Your feeling it brother!

The line is "We say grace, we say ma'am and if you you ain't into that we don't give a damn." A better way to think about "country" music, is to think of it as story telling. I do appreciate the authenticity of your reactions.

I am a 70 yr old white woman, I have watched several of your videos and really appreciate that you "listen" to the music. Anyway I am a new subscriber!

We need more Hanks today more than ever.

"if you aint into THAT we don't give a damn" Great reaction!

The problem with most country today is it is more what I would classify as pop, not country. I'm mainly heavy metal (the heavier the better), but when I listen to country I listen to Johnny Cash, Hank Jr. and Sr., Johnny Horton, etc. The old school country singers.

I grew up a city boy, but saved my money and now live in the country. If I can spend the rest of my life surrounded by country folk, I will.

Northern California small town mountain kid.. this song was our anthem, our life..

My dad grew up on a farm in Ohio with 11 of his siblings. Back then taking care of the family was more important then school. He joined the Air Force when he was sixteen served 21 years as an air craft mechanic. He didn’t really read and write well but there nothing he couldn’t fix from washers, dryers, cars, air conditioners, carpentry, roofing, run wiring to connect electricity etc. We never had to call a repairman for anything. When I got old enough to know what a truck driver was I started going on runs with him listing to country music. Hank Williams Sr, Pasty Cline, Jim Revees, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Charlie Pride, I could go on and on. Country music eat it best. Men from that era were hardened patriotic family men. Men you didn’t mess with because they had to much to lose. Goggle old time country singers and have fun learning their story telling through song. By the way I love your show. I came upon it by accident and am glad I did.

My father was the son of a west Virginia coal Miner and steel mill family. They are hard people, I lost him 5 years ago and can't listen to this song without tearing up. I'm a country hard FL boy he taught me what he knew but I will never be stone like he was.

He was the CMA performer of the year 5 times for a reason. Hank is a legend.

Country music is where its at, it will never go out of style!

We hold this song close to our hearts. It is at the core of most of our values.

Y’all can’t go wrong with Bocephus! That was his dad’s nickname for him. ❤️🔥👵🏼☮️

We will indeed be the last ones standing. YOU can survive too Sir!

Hank Williams is a storyteller...love his music. Another group of outlaw country singers is Highwayman... they're Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings. They tour as the Highwaymen, so many videos are concert pieces...great listening.

His father was a famous singer and died at age 29. This song makes southern people proud to be country. My mother's side are from Mississippi and my father's side from Alabama. It's southern tradition to garden, fish, and hunt. We still can our fresh tomatoes in mason jars, hot peppers, make pickles and much more. Raise our children where they have lots of room to explore nature and learn how to survive just like Hank sang. I am so proud to be Country and yes if the economy goes bad we will survive and city people will have it hard with store shelves empty.

Hank Williams Sr. - So Lonesome I Could Cry, Hank Williams Jr. - Family Tradition, Hank III - Devils Daughter. I was not raised on country, I was born in Cali but my family moved to TX when I was young, I love the Hank Williams Family, their music breaks boundaries 🙌

I think he’s made his daddy proud!

One of my favorite songs from all time when I don’t even like the country. Where did I listen to this? In the bars. 😉 Hank Jr. is the man.

Hank Junior's music can't be pigeonholed. He's very versatile.

"We say grace, we say ma'am. If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn"💯💯💯

My husband hunts and fishes and works. I take care of the house and the kid and make sure he has a good meal and clean clothes. We've been doing this for 30 years and yes we are still surviving, happily too.

“We say grace, we say ma’am…If you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn.” Great reaction video. I too grew up on hip hop and honestly rarely listen to it now that I’m older. It’s sad because there are so many talented artists. The messages many artist project are destroying our youth and society as a whole.

I remember in 1999 he released a Y2K version. That one was even more brutal. "Now that dude's gonna get out in a year or two, because the system don't work for me or you..." Facts!

The love of God has waxed cold in the heart of this country and without that we have nothing to offer that’s any different than anywhere else. The words are “If you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn!”

"We say grace, and we say Ma'am; If you ain't into that, We don't give a damn."

What's wild is his voice is so powerful because it's like one of the only ways he can hear himself singing since he's mostly deaf after his accident. His early stuff he sounded alot like his dad. It's such a unique voice

Dude absolutely love your reaction he's one of my favorite artists he says if you ain't into that we don't give a damn

Went to college with a 100% Country Boy who loved Hank Jr more than anybody. This guy used to drive home to work on the weekends, a simple hour-long trip, early every Saturday morning. One day he fell asleep at the wheel and rolled his truck, died instantly. They played this song at his funeral the next week.

Great honest reaction. We are proud here in the South. Black , White, Red or Brown. A country boy is a country boy. I know what you mean by a simpler life. I lived in near Detroit in the 90s. Was always obsessed with making more money and being successful. I moved back to Ky opened up my construction business and never looked back. Just a simpler stress free life. And the races get along way better in these small towns I’ve noticed as well

This song was played at my cousins funeral. A true country boy! RIP CUZ!

His, father Hank Sr, is what I would consider to be the father of country music

I had the pleasure to talk to Mr Williams over the phone and truly a genuinely nice gentleman and great person . Love his music

Hank came from country royalty. His dad Hank Sr was also a singer. He passed away at age of 29. Hank Jr was only 3. He sings a song called Family Tradition re his dad and his different styles. Also Hank Jr he tells about almost dying when he fell off a Mt while hiking. He wears a beard and glasses to hide his scars.

Listen to his father, (Hank Williams Sr.) and you'll see where he gets his talent, it's born to him.

Growed up in the woods of western North Carolina.. We was taught to love everybody. No race, color line bullshit. If you came across one less fortunate than you, then you help them along what you could. They gonna help you in return . Folks need to get their hearts right .

Country music evolved over the decades with the 70s and 80s being the more of a storytelling Era. Country today can't hold a candle to the Country of yesteryear!

You might want to try "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle.

Its. If you aint into THAT, we dont give a damn. Not " into BACK. YOU JUST MISUNDERSTOOD HIM. NO BIGGIE THOUGH. YOULL ALWAYS BE THE BEST REACTION ARTIST ON KZfaq. YOURE THE MAN !

I was born and raised in Texas my mewmaw absolutely adored Hank williams Jr. I grew up listening to the outlaws and honky tonk and I'm happy that alot of people are giving the music a chance they wouldn't before.

I think he says "we say grace and we say mam, if you ain't Into that, we don't give a damn." Glad you liked it.🥰

I miss my 'country folk' grandpa. He could do everything about the farm. Weld / fabricate / fix about everything. Made his own 'barbed wire' roller. No more doing it by hand. Then he was born in 1895 - served during WW1 in France. Lived though that and returned to farming on the farm he was born on. Great memories of him removing oak tree stumps with dynamite. (which he legally did back then) He was a demolition expert in the army and had permits for that kind of work. RIP Grandpa.... Miss you still..

No black or white here! Country folk are all over: South, North, East and West. Every race, creed, color and sex! As a 49 year old, white GA man, there are local black ladies nearly twice my age that easily out-fish me! Even if they couldn’t, they absolutely gonna cook it all up a hundred times better than me! I’m thankful to be invited because of amazing food, fellowship and brotherhood. I’ve said it to everyone who will listen: you ain’t never gonna get better food, but better….hugs and kisses than from the top tier lady of a black family! She gonna give THE absolute best hugs and kisses you ever got!!!! We southern boys ain’t racist cuz we know better! ❤🙂

In West Virginia , We'll surely survive 🇺🇸

Thank you for the authenticity of your reaction. I've always said, "People will make fun of us country folk, until everything goes to pot. Then they will beg for our help." They are in luck. Most of us, would help a total stranger, just because it's the right thing to do. I can also appreciate what you were talking about with today's Hip Hop. But a lot of modern country music is just as toxic and shallow. Pretty much any country artist from the 80's or 90's will be good. This song was originally released in 1981.

I saw this legend the summer of 2021. Keep in mind, I'm not much of a country music fan (I'm a heavy metal and rap fan) but I bought my mom tickets for her birthday and went with her. It was more than worth the money. He's definitely an entertainer. And I thought that with all the deaths in the last 3 years, I better see him while he's still around. And again, it was well worth it.

older country is real gangster shiit

Music. Like art, tells a story. When it's done right, it touches your soul and that's it's purpose. Makes you stop and think. Good reaction, thanks.

I had to laugh at the “if they have a touch screen phone at all” comment!! Born and raised in the mountains of NC. I moved away and came back to raise my daughter. While my job keeps me up with the times as far as technology…my dad still has his flip phone, and he raised both my brother and my sister and me to be self sufficient!! If I have to I can hunt my food and cook it!! My daughter would have to depend on me!! I’m thankful for my country upbringing. We raised cattle for beef and grew a garden for everything else!! I hated it growing up but I’m thankful for it as an adult!! Love your channel!!

"if you ain't into THAT we don't give a damn!!! Country girls can survive with or without our country boys!!!!

"Very digestible", I've never heard a country song described with such perfection.

On this version, which was recorded in celebration of the 25th anniversary of it's original release, Stevie Wonder is the one playing the harmonica. Hank's fans are vast in many genres. Everyone from country artists, to Ludacris, to Snoop, to Buddy Guy, to Van Halen.

I love your open mind and you're willingness to check anything out. You're a true American. And a true human.

Great reaction. More country please and Elvis. There isn't a more loyal fan base than country fans and Elvis fans.

"We say grace and we say ma'am." We show respect, thankfulness and courtesy. " A country boy can survive." I have a small farm in Mississippi. Just clearing land is hard work you can love. So far, only coyotes have been interested in threatening our stock, but all our guns stay loaded. Yesterday, I found fresh deer tracks. I can hunt without ever leaving the property. Wild blackberries grow on our land. My wife can cook and can. God is good.

Blues Man is one of my favorites by Hank Jr👍

This is one of those songs that makes just about everyone want to move out into the country and learn to live off the land.

Im a cajun bayou girl and we cajuns know how to survive and enjoy simple things like crawfis boils fish fry nights and bbqs simple life

I am not a huge country fan, but I was very moved by Johnny Cash's rendition of the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt.

country music is just storytelling with guitars & fiddle!! Hank's dad was the ICONIC Hank Williams - a true LEGEND in country music!!!

"WE SAY GRACE AND WE SAY MA'AM.. IF YA AIN'T IN TO THAT... WE DON'T GIVE A DAMN"❤❤❤😂

When he started out (after his father died) hevwas given a very hard time for not playing "traditional" country western. They tried hard to box him in to just playing his father's songs. His father's death hit him hard. When he fell off the mountain that deriously effected him and his music too.

Hank is a legend👍👍

This song became an anthem in the south in the 80's. You are so right about the environment where you listen, I remember being in a country bar playing pool and rocking out to this, the whole bar was happy and singing. I appreciate your videos, breakdowns and reactions. Your point to positivity in music is dead on, music so influences attitudes and moods.

People that don’t like Country Music Never honestly listened to it 😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hank Williams SR is his Dad and he Is a Legend❤

I’m sure someone’s already said this, but if not the bar is….”We say grace, we say ma’am, if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn”. This song is describing how country people are/what we can do in general …men, women and all races that are from the country. ❤

One of the top 100 songs of the century. Timeless. I like this type of country than the trash now.

"If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn. He's referring to what's important. God and respect.

YALL TELL HIM PLZZZ….. The funeral Hank senior PLZZZ He won’t regret it y’all know ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

He said, "We say grace and we say ma'am, if ya aint into that we don't give a damn". Loved your reaction.

Dude, we sing about what we know, or, like Hank, to the people he knows. Worked with him several times over the years as his personal security but don't have to know much to know Hank was born rich and never had to much that he sings about. BTW he was nicest entertainer I ever worked with. rick in Tennessee.

There is nowhere in the world where you will find manners and loyalty and honesty and strong family values and nobody is stronger or tougher than us in the country. Us country boys and country girls can survive with nothing but a buck knife and a pack of cigarettes and a cold beer.

It's good to expand your musical experience and get an appreciation for all genres. Glad you found this great example of country music when it was still country music. Doing more of Hank Jr. and expand to his father who was a true pioneer of country music. More power to ya.

Alan Jackson will forever turn you onto country, he is the legend above all legends when it comes to country music. Every song he makes tells a story that you won't forget for a long time. Even 25 years later I still recall what happened way down yonder on the Chattahoochee.

we moved to the country in 1976 when i was 6 years old and it was so peaceful quite very little traffic no police or fire sirens or shooting.had no reason to go into town, we grew everything as food vegetables meat ,milk. on the farm.

every single thing said in this song is facts and can be backed with proof

This song always gives me chills

I appreciate watching your sincere reactions. I could see how much you liked this song written all over your face!

We say grace we say Amen

This man fell off a mountain and broke nearly every bone in his body and lived to talk about it

I love all kinds of music. All genres are awesome and have its place. How about Merle Haggard - “Mama Tried” or “Walkin’on the Fightin’ Side of Me”

Country music is three chords and the truth. Yes Polo I remember hip hop was about social commentary and mostly about fun.

8:40 in - "We say grace and we say Ma'am, if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn." Sometimes lyrics are hard to understand. Hank didn't say anything about the "back." He's saying, American country people worship God and show respect to others, especially to their elders, but it could be a young cashier at their grocery store. They say, "Yes, Ma'am" or "Yes, Sir." Alternatively, "No, Ma'am" and "No, Sir," "Thank you, Ma'am" etc. Country children are DRILLED from a young age that they MUST use titles of respect. Country people don't "put on airs," and they don't care much for people that do. I love to see these reactions, and I'm very happy to see some new appreciation of country music outside the base of country music fans. The lyrics speak truth and will stand up to the most critical analysis, especially their specific choice of words - ie. dogs, not dog - love, not like in this song. Thank you so much for devoting some valuable time on your site to country music appreciation. I would LOVE to share more with you. Since you are a city guy, let me give you a friendly word of advice. When you speak to a country friend, never forget to ask, "How's your Momma and all them?" If you don't, your country friend will go home and sadly tell his wife, "I seen Polo, and he didn't even ask about Momma." Bring on some more great reactions!

Best song ever

The interesting thing as I age is how Rap and Country music are structured they are about a message being put out there and more similar than most would care to admit.
