Oliver Anthony is his Grandfathers name and the name is a tribute to him and his Appalachian Mountain roots. He also lives in a camper on his own property that he is still buying,where the video is shot. Everything in the song is true. Not just a bunch of lyrics with a catchy tune.

I had a coworker that dropped out 10th grade, no GED. I asked him something along the lines of "[has he] experienced troubles with job interviews and applications?" And he said no, he just lies and puts yes for HS Diploma from the high-school he dropped out of and nobody ever asks questions. I thought that was funny. Pretty smart guy, with a highly technical skill set from his career. You'd never guess he dropped out of highschool.

The main thing I have found from watching reviews is no matter who WE are or where WE are from, this tune strikes a cord with everyone. And the great thing about that is WE all find a different meaning to each one of US = however, we all come to the same conclusion, things can NOT stay the way they are!

Once in a while a song is 'inspired'. This is one of those rare times. Millions upon millions upon millions of us feel what he says, deep in our souls. We're sickened at the welfare scammers, and that there are hungry people. We're disgusted at the powerful men that rape children and don't get called out and punished for it. We're in despair about our young men that come home from the military broken, and the kids that age out of the welfare program that have no where to go but the streets. Even our college educated have been suckered into useless degrees, can't get a job, and have given up trying. We've been downsized, made redundant, our jobs sent to cheap countries, or our employer got taxed out, and quit. I wish there was 10 verses to this song.

And Hannah Montana filmed at that courthouse, Mario Lopez movie filed there and Hallmark Christmas movie filmed there…nobody complained at any of those times. I’m not a fan of Jason Aldean, but I DO live in a small town in The South and I have heard that statement “I wish somebody would try that here” a guzillion times. So much so that if I had a dime for every time I heard it, I would be RICH. That song wasn’t racist. This one isn’t either. Both are about the state of our country…not color….country.

100% politically motivated. It was against the 2020 rioting, and pretty much every MSM channel supported or at least down-played the violence/looting/arson, so there was no way they were going to let that song pass without trying to knock it down. I don't like modern country, like even a little bit (love this tune, but this is folk/Americana, the genre's that country was inspired by, but an acoustic resonator guitar does not a country song make...) don't care for Jason Aldean or his music, but if people falsely cry racism where it doesn't exist, people aren't going to believe you when it actually happens. But the media doesn't care if they destroy this country; the only goal they seem to have is to keep normal people divided and fighting each other so the elites can rob us blind while we're distracted.

He was NOT a religious man, but he would always say “I’ll let the missus pray for our souls, but I swear to GOD I hate politicians! The only time they care about the working man is when they want our vote!” I love the fact that Oliver came out and said this song wasn’t for the left or the right, it was about ALL the politicians north of Richmond!!

Latest statement by Oliver(Chris) Anthony--It's been difficult as I browse through the 50,000+ messages and emails I've received in the last week. The stories that have been shared paint a brutally honest picture. Suicide, addiction, unemployment, anxiety and depression, hopelessness and the list goes on. Im sitting in such a weird place in my life right now. I never wanted to be a full time musician, much less sit at the top of the iTunes charts. Draven from RadioWv and I filmed these tunes on my land with the hope that it may hit 300k views. I still don't quite believe what has went on since we uploaded that. It's just strange to me. People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don't want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don't want to play stadium shows, I don't want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place. So that being said, I have never taken the time to tell you who I actually am. Here's a formal introduction: My legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford. My grandfather was Oliver Anthony, and "Oliver Anthony Music" is a dedication not only to him, but 1930's Appalachia where he was born and raised. Dirt floors, seven kids, hard times. At this point, I'll gladly go by Oliver because everyone knows me as such. But my friends and family still call me Chris. You can decide for yourself, either is fine. In 2010, I dropped out of high school at age 17. I have a GED from Spruce Pine, NC. I worked multiple plant jobs in Western NC, my last being at the paper mill in McDowell county. I worked 3rd shift, 6 days a week for $14.50 an hour in a living hell. In 2013, I had a bad fall at work and fractured my skull. It forced me to move back home to Virginia. Due to complications from the injury, it took me 6 months or so before I could work again. From 2014 until just a few days ago, I've worked outside sales in the industrial manufacturing world. My job has taken me all over Virginia and into the Carolinas, getting to know tens of thousands of other blue collar workers on job sites and in factories. Ive spent all day, everyday, for the last 10 years hearing the same story. People are SO damn tired of being neglected, divided and manipulated. In 2019, I paid $97,500 for the property and still owe about $60,000 on it. I am living in a 27' camper with a tarp on the roof that I got off of craigslist for $750. There's nothing special about me. I'm not a good musician, I'm not a very good person. I've spent the last 5 years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it. I am sad to see the world in the state it's in, with everyone fighting with each other. I have spent many nights feeling hopeless, that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away. That being said, I HATE the way the Internet has divided all of us. The Internet is a parasite, that infects the minds of humans and has their way with them. Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweat shops in a foreign land. When is enough, enough? When are we going to fight for what is right again? MILLIONS have died protecting the liberties we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift. Never in world history has the world had the freedom it currently does. Don't let them take it away from you. Just like those once wandering in the desert, we have lost our way from God and have let false idols distract us and divide us. It's a damn shame.

Washington DC is just north of Richmond, Virginia. The rich men north of Richmond are the politicians in Congress he's singing about.

He paid nothing. In June he performed for 20 people for free. RadioWV reached out to him wanting to do this video at his little farm near FarmVille, VA. He was dealing with his alcoholism for about 30 days, suicide thoughts etc. anyway, he agreed to do the video. It was released and it’s been on KZfaq and Spotify for a couple weeks with 21 million views. And he has 5 songs in top 10 of Spotify. No fancy sound mixing. That’s a resonator guitar. He started writing songs 2 yrs ago. His use of the double entendres is great.

As soon as you bring politics into it it devalues the message, don't. The country was founded on the principle that politicians are inherently corrupted by the system. Therefore as few and as little politics as possible is the best way, regardless of who the politicians are.

The reason you hear the raspy in his voice is because it's not recording a studio it's recorded right there where he's standing at his house. That is the original recording and and the some politicians came out and tried to use it for their theme song and he said no I'm talking about all politicians no affiliations. He is awesome

Oliver Anthony is an ex factory worker and now off grid farmer and lives with his 3 dogs. He's been writing his own music for several years with hundreds of songs. However, dealing with mental illness and alcoholism he came to the end of his rope, and got on his knees and prayed to the Lord asking if he would sober him up and let his music touch others. After this prayer, Radio WV, a radio station in West Virginia listened to a couple of his songs 30 days ago, and said they would help financially to record his first album, then recorded this video, 'with a real microphone!' said Anthony. Prior, all his songs were only recorded on his iphone. Radio WV or Anthony had no idea when his song was released to the public last week that it would go viral. He played at a farmers market on Sunday, which normally has 20 people and thousands showed up. Many of his songs are now in the top 10 on itunes. John Rich, country artist, said he would help financially as well to produce his first album with Radio WV. Two days ago he received an $8 million dollar record contract and turned it down, because if he would have had a big record contract 30 days ago, this song never would have been heard as its not what the mainstream corporate music machine wants to put out.. and is why he wants to remain independent. He is now selling merchandise, but he chose a small business near his home in Farmville, VA. A bigger company would get the merchandise out faster, but small businesses need financial help more at this time, he has said. He opened at the farmers market Sunday reading a psalm from the Bible. The guy is the real deal and you can feel his heart through his song and his actions. This song has touched the heart of every American, and beyond. People from Australia, Europe, New Zealand all feel the truth that comes thru the lyrics of this song as well.

After this song was released, Oliver was offered an $8 million recording contract which he refused. Also, Oliver didn't record this video. At the end of the video, you see the word RadioWV, which was the outfit that recorded the video, and they posted it online. Oliver had no idea that this song would make news all over the world, and that it generated over 99 million views on KZfaq. It's being called, "The People's Anthem."

I’m old enough to remember when tv would sign off for the night. You’d have Johnny Carson, then the Late Late Show then the Star Spangled Banner then static. When I was on college radio we would play Jimi Hendrix’s version of the Star Spangled Banner before signing off for the night. Our generations version of a mic drop. This man just dropped the mic for the nation. I hope we all wake up when the static is gone.
