The black man leading the marching band is Cowboy Troy. His stuff is really unique. Check him out.

This was the Big & Rich era! It was in the times before everyone was offended by everything. Cowboy Troy, the drum major, and Gretchen Wilson were also part of this crew. Miss these days - they had a different sound.

With the 4th coming up, I would suggest reacting to Big and Rich's song '8th of November'. It's a true story about a squad of boys dropped in the jungle of Vietnam.

When John Rich was on and won "The Apprentice" he raised over 1.2 million for St. Jude's Children's Hospital! He seems like a helluva nice guy.

Gretchen Wilson “Here for the Party”. Country gal that likes to have fun 😂

This is the same John Rich from Tom MacDonald’s “End Of The World”. #hangovergang forever 🤙🏽

John Rich is a true Patriot who donates so much to our Veterans! He has a Bar Called Whiskey River after HIS brand of whiskey he donates massive amounts of its proceeds to the Vets. ♥️🇺🇸

Your face tho!! 😂 "Oh they *ARE* sayin' what I thought they was sayin'!"

John Rich and Big Kenny. Always a fun time. Toby's song came out yrs before this. You should check out Toby and Willie doing Whiskey for my men beer for my Horses. PS. Love Cowboy Troy as well

You got to check out "Cowboy Troy". He's in background of this video. He's a performer with Big and Rich. He's right up your alley.

I highly recommend "the 8th of November" and also "Holy Water" by these cats

"Hip Hop invented stunting in music." 😂😂😂 Bless your heart.

"8th of November" is a must by Big and Rich.

Omg, I knew this reaction wouldn't disappoint 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The look on Pegasus’s face while that song was playing is priceless. 🤣 I will say, for anyone who is interested to know, that Toby Keith’s song “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” was released on Toby Keith’s 1993 self titled debut album and was chosen as his debut single. Big and Rich released “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)” as their second single from their debut Album ‘Horse Of A Different Color’ in 2004. Their first single released from the same album is titled “Wild West Show” and was released back in December 2003.

Big and Rich are a big reason that I started dipping my toes into the country music genre. From what I understand, they were refused by labels in Nashville for not being 'country', so they gathered up other artists and formed the MuzikMafia. On another note.... Holy Water is a beautiful, meaningful song. You should check that out.

Big & Rich are Big Kenny Alphin and John Rich. They are a popular duo in country music and are also a very successful songwriting team. They are also producers and do some artist development. They are Nashville mainstays and like to push the limits at times. This song was their first hit as Big & Rich, although both of them had, had previous success with other music acts. They also do more traditional as well. Check out a song called "Look At You."

This was huge when it came out. Loved it instantly. And what a crazy video. John Rich does some great stuff solo as well. The song (with its great video) "Shuttin' Detroit Down" is a favorite of mine.

John Rich is a amazing songwriter. He writes for several artists as well. Above all that, he is a patriot!

"8th of November" is one of their songs that is a MUST!

You gotta check out "She thinks my Tractor's Sexy"

Dig a little into this group, they're something. Very patriotic. And John Rich is a heck of a business man. I love their Com'in To Your City.

This is a great example of Country Crossover from a different angle. Tongue and cheek sexuality with a great rock groove (as in Van Halen's Hot For Teacher) steeped in rap... What fun! It's as though the crossover folks were afraid to do this until these guys came along. Cheers!

Big and Rich song 8th of November

You need to listen to their song 8 th of November you will love it.

😅😅🎉🎉 hilarious love you for checking this out😂

They have a few great tracks as well as helped Cowboy Troy and Gretchen Wilson (the girl on the tractor) get their careers going.

FYI Rich did a song with Tom Macdonald.

Big & Rich are way underrated!!!

The look on your face was priceless dude lol...

Big Kenny and John Rich are both amazing people, both donate heavily to charities, both absolutely love America, they both live without prejudice, truly amazing guys

:D One of my favorites. Another is "Beer for my Horses" (lol.... this wasn't a '70's thang y'know. This came out in the 2000's).

They mixed it up and made it work. It hit each genre. Everyone was singing it from 12 year olds to 60’yearolds. And we were having a blast

This doesn't mean what I thought it meant...eyes BIG...' I shoulda been a cowboy.... ' 🤣 I haven't laughed/snorted in awhile 😂 I just LOVE your content. Your reactions to Falling In Reverse brought me here over a year ago... and here I always come back to. Your open-mindedness is just so refreshing these days. You literally will listen to ALL genres . Thank you for bringing educational and often HILARIOUS content ❤ Congrats on new baby girl 🎉❤❤ .

John Rich, the man in the yellow shirt, is such a good man. A true patriot. Very down-to-earth. His song and video with Tom Macdonald was a wonderful collaboration. You should check it out.

Tennessee native here and I looooove this song so much. Nashville can be so much fun if you can avoid the recent troubles downtown. Love 2nd Avenue and Broadway.

For some country rap try Jason Aldean " Dirt Road Anthem " or Carie Underwood ft Ludacris with " The Champion ". This will be on you workout list. It will get you pumped up for a workout.

Big and Rich started a movement called the Muzicmafia which included Gretchen Wilson, Cowboy Troy, Two Foot Fred, Kid Rock and many others! You need to go down the rabbit hole on all of them. Big and rich had many great songs including one called Holy water. My fav. Gretchen Wilson is a straight badass. Check out All jacked up, Redneck woman, here for the party, California girls, come to bed and tons more. Cowboy Troy is one of the first known country rappers. He has a great song called I played chicken with train. I had the privilege to meet Gretchen Wilson at a country connect. When I was leaving the meet and greet I was the first person out and no one was there to direct me where to go. I stated wandering around back stage. I actually met Two Foot Fred and Cowboy Troy. They were both very nice and have me autographs. Please, check the Muzicmafia out!

that was Grethen Wilson on the tractor at the end

I was a bartender in a small town in Ohio when this song came out.. We had a blast with this song. Big and Rich are Great...

Dude if you ❤ Big & Rich, then you'll seriously ❤ Every Song of Cowboy Troy. This is just a taste of Cowboy Troy's Country Rap Music 🎙🎶. You most diffenitly have never heard anything like it.

Thank you, thank you I haven’t laughed that much for ages and it was your expression that caused it , loved it

I'm an artist and a musician. In art school we learned that contrast creates interest - dark, light - dull, bright - large, small - rough, smooth, etc. In music, same thing in audio - loud, soft - slow, fast - signature changes, texture changes, etc. What you've got going on here is a HipHop guy reacting (positively) to Rock and Country! Wow! Talk about creating interest through contrast! You got it going on pal! Cheers!

I love big and rich. And this song is crazy good.

"8th of November" It'll get ya Bro!!! Git ya in a good way 😉 How Big Kenny got his Hat 😀

LMAO, I bought the T Shirt when it came in the market!! This song was a HUGE hit! ❤😂🎉

The guy leading the marching band is Cowboy Troy. Check out his song "Hick Chicks". You will not be disappointed.

One of those songs that makes me smile every time I hear it.

Woo hoo on my playlist already! ❤❤❤❤. Thanks again man for your show

The title of this song was actually a pick up line that John Rich (before he was married) came up with one night in a country bar in Dallas. John Rich is a great song writer and has written songs for other artist. Two songs that are 180 degrees opposite are “Lost in This Moment” which is played a lot at weddings and “Holy Water” which is about domestic violence against women. Big Kenny’s sister briefly appears in the really moving video because she had experienced domestic violence at some point. The song called “The 8th of November” is about a real soldier who was shot during the Vietnam war.

A more serious song they did was 8th of november its about an event that happened in vietnam where 29 us troops got ambushed by 1200 north vietnamese toops

they were teaching a class at a local High School in Brentwood TN about how to write a songs. The song was mostly penned there... they have told the story here locally a few times...

Definitely check out Cowboy Troy, the leader of the marching band right behind Big & Rich. I was a hard-core anti-Country person that married a dude from Calgary. Eek! But I got him tickets to Big & Rich one year for V-day and I fell in love with these guys...but Cowboy Troy opened for them and I went to the lobby in between bands and bought his CD right then. My fave is Hick Chick's, but I Play Chicken with the Train is awesome too.

I saw Big & Rich live & had a blast! I was not sure what to expect but was stunned by what amazing singers they both were. They made some goofy music but they were excellent musicians & entertainers. 8th of November & Between Hell and Amazing Grace are my favorites.

I love this song and support the message 100%.

Great reaction as usual! other songs recommended by Big and Rich cast "8th of November", Gretchen Wilson "here for the party" , Cowboy Troy "Hick Hop" "Playin Chicken with the Train"

This the same John Rich that did a feature for Tom Macdonald "End of the World" 😂😂 let's go!!

Their song 'Holy Water' is amazing...and heart wrenching

Shaboozy is on it with his new country music …. I’m a Texas born and raised I ride horses grew up on 80 acres I barrel raced so let’s say I’m country through and through and I say the more the merrier bring new and different to country we need it

Big and Rich are awesome!! Definitely worth a deep dive. Their concerts were all out parties. You should check out Rollin. It features Cowboy Troy.

Have you heard Darius Rucker, formerly of Hooty and the blowfish, and his country music? It's phenomenal. Especially the song he did with Charlie Pride before the legend passed away.

Big and Rich performed at our wedding at Barbara Mandrell's old mansion just outside of Nashville in 2007. It was the height of "Lost in this Moment". Great guys to meet!

Awesome they are true patriots ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸 This was filmed on a pedestrian bridge over the Columbia River @the foot of Broadway in Nashville. Happy Independence day BP 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

Love it. I love when the girl ( who looked like a doll) smiled at the end.

John Rich is a national treasure!

Next do Cowboy Troy! "I Play Chicken with the Train"...Hickhop!

Love! Whoop Whoop! I’m up dancing!,, 🎉🎉😂😂😂

Everytime my band played this song, it Killed!!! People love fun songs period. Good stuff bro

A good bar dancing song. What. What!!🎉❤😂

Once you are in, you are never out.

The Big man that is leading the parade - his name is Cowboy Troy and is a rapper -- If you want a Big & Rich song with true rapping by Cowboy Troy look up Rollin' --- best video "Big & Rich - Rollin (ft. Cowboy Troy) CMA 2004"

Big and Rich have produced such great party songs such as Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy, but you also need to watch the CMA awards where they sang Rollin". Unfortunately that is the only video available that shows this, all others are only lyric videos. But they also produced some very deep heart wrenching songs such as Holy Water.

How funny, your expression the second you realized it was exactly what it sounded like was epic. Music video is totally bonkers.

The glee on Pegasus' face through the whole video is priceless!!!!

I love this group they’re a lot of fun

Gretchen Wilson is the girl on the green tracker. She, Big & Rich, and the Black cowboy walking were all part of a group, that would get together and write songs together....they were a pack!

Yess!!! Let’s gooo!!!! They got bangers! Hahahaha. I’m so glad you checked this out. My grandpa loved this song so much when it came out he had to go buy there cd and still has it to this day and plays it in his old truck and in the radio when he’s in the wood shed or the garage tinkering around😂 along with some Andre Rieu but it’s awesome haha

This song was huge when I was in college, and I went to a school in the south and someone had a bumper sticker that said; "Save a Truck Ride a Red Neck"

I LOVE THIS SONG! John Rich is a great songwriter....❤❤

When I saw this come up, thought you’d like it. Heavy rap influence. And that influence has continued with newer country artists. 😉

Dude thier concerts were epic

This is back in the day of what was called the Music City Mafia. A group of country musicians and comedians who worked the clubs around town. It's members included, Cowboy Troy (the black cowboy), Two-Foot Fred (the midget), Gretchen Wilson, and Big & Rich.... At times Kid Rock would join in. Amongst others as well.

Soooo much fun ...!!!

you should totally watch 8th of november by big and rich !!

OMG.. Making me LMAO Let's Rock this country.

Truly brings me back to 80's videos.. I like it.

It's so much better when we all get along and collaborate. ❤

Save a horse ride a rapper! You’re killing it BP 🤘🏻👊🏻🇺🇸

I've heard of this song....but never listened to this song.....I loved it ❤❤❤

The look on your face was priceless! 🤣🤣🤣

Every time I’m visiting family & friends in Nashville, see the Bridge & of course Broadway. This video pops in my head. Especially Big Kenny with the ‘bridge’ pun intended.

Your face is priceless 😂😂Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏

They’re hilarious! I love this song lol. If you want a more serious song, listen to Holy Water. It was written about Big Kenny’s sister who was a victim of domestic violence. (he’s the tall blonde crazy one). It will break your heart

Your lecture on what "make it rain" means is amazing!

🤣🤣🤣 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR REACTIONS❣❣❣ Esp when it's a fun song like this...keep it up!!!

When this song came out it was very popular

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 your initial facial expression & reaction at start of video is priceless

love your facial expressions 🤣🤣this song was and still is a wonderful upbeat country song that gets the toes tapping and heads bopping 🤣 GREAT REACTION B.P.

They were so much fun in concert and are really talented artists.

I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC! I didn’t quite warm up to them. A bit to crass and I grew up in a largely male world in veterinary school in the late 70s. No worries, I owned it and was totally not bothered. I just went with it! And still practicing, three specialties under my belt!
