There is a pain ebbing deeply in this country, and it turns out that music is the catharsis that so many Americans are craving.
Given that, “country music” has never felt like a more appropriate term.
The most recent example of this comes from the viral smash hit “Rich Men North of Richmond” by musical neophyte Oliver Anthony.
Despite his relatively unknown status and total lack of big money behind him, Anthony’s hit single has roared up the iTunes Country chart all the way to the top spot, per Billboard, displacing another prime example of American frustration (more on that song later.)
You can watch and listen to the song below, but fair warning, it may ruin other country songs for you:
All his stuff is great. Check out “Got to get sober” or “VCR kid”. Anthony said he isn’t a great musician but between these 3 songs alone he is one of the greatest song writers today.
Amazing
