Rich Man's Gold - Oliver Anthony
Музыка
A song I wrote. Thanks for your support!
You won't born, to just to pay bills and die
You wont born to just pay bills and die
All you need is a dog, a shack with a creek in the back,
And a good woman to hold
You don't need that Rich Man's Gold
Granddaddy grew up on dirt floors
The whole county was dirt poor
Momma died when he was four
What a damn shame
They grew tobacco and raised hogs
Seven youngins and some old dogs
I reckon they were living high on the hog
Way back in their day
He'd say you won't born, to just to pay bills and die
You wont born to just pay bills and die
All you need is a dog, a shack with a creek in the back,
And a good woman to hold
You don't need that Rich Man's Gold

Amen to that, give Scott Ainslie a look if you like early blues. He literally wrote the book on transcriptions of Robert Johnsons music and is just as much of a musical historian as a performer and he is fantastic at both.

If people, especially young people, would learn this now. Greed, money, 'want' can steal your soul. Take your time, your joy and all your peace away. Mr Anthony, please hold to this when folks offer you a lot of deals to buy your songs. Don't let them buy you.

What they dont tell you is this is real gold, gold from the soul, you dont need much to be happy, chasin paper straight into hell is a miserable life, love those around you, sit next to a creek and let life be, smile at the sunset and give praise to the Lord
I don't know how long you've worked and struggled to become an 'overnight' sensation, but your voice sure sounds like it has some miles on it. I'm one of your many new fans, and I'm truly happy for your well deserved success. Thanks for bringing so many people together, at a time when it seems like there are so many forces working to tear us apart.
Something to be said living in isolation. That’s where you tap into some deep shit from the soul. Sing it brother
Oliver, you’re a true gem who has been hidden from much of the world until now, and we’re blessed to hear your wonderful music. I’ve been a country girl all my life, and was taught there’s more to life than material possessions. I grew up poor, and I’m still poor, but I don’t feel poor, and I never have. I feel the good LORD Jesus Christ has provided all I need, as He always has, and a person can’t ask for more than that. The most important thing Jesus has blessed me with is a renewed relationship with my Heavenly Father YHVH through my relationship with Christ, and the forgiveness of sin that His precious shed ßIood purchased for me. I love that you are a believer in Jesus Christ, and you’re not ashamed of your faith in Him. In your introduction video you said you used to be an agnostic, and you told those listening that you know there’s a God above, a Creator of all things, and that He loves them. He sure does, and He is waiting to receive all who come to Him with open arms. Your music reminds me of the country music of my childhood, songs written for the poor working man, that I’d hear coming from my grandmother’s little radio in the kitchen. I believe Jesus has brought you into the public eye for more than just your music, but for testifying to His goodness, mercy, and grace, in a time when the world has so many lost, broken and struggling people who need Jesus Christ as their Savior. I pray the Holy Spirit works mightily through you, through your testimony of Christ, to bring the lost and downtrodden people of the world to a renewed relationship with our Heavenly Father YHVH, to give them peace and joy that surpasses anything this world has to offer. And I pray that Jesus will watch over you, and guard your soul, and guide your path according to His will and purpose. God bless you brother, with much love in Christ.❤
PLEASE put this on your first album!!!!

What an old soul. Keep singing for we the people. Thank you !🙏

This dud got me out here listening to country music 🎶 ... I cant believe this shit... Im loving it! Im all teared up listening to his songs
Love your songs, come from a family where my grandpa was a West Virginia coal miner and my dad was 1 of 17 kids. I learned young even though I only had one sibling how to work hard for what you wanted in life and never took for granted what I had in life. Oliver keep God first bc money isn't everything that's for sure. Thanks for being country back to country music. I'll be praying for you.❤
Good stuff, keep on keeping on
This is a rock n roll as someone can get in current time.
Been awesome discovering your talents! You have great songs and I look forward to supporting your career for many more years!
I never really cared about country or folk music until Chris opened my eyes he’s amazing!
All I needed was 2 cats, a camper, a pond across the road and the good love of my girl. Some of the happiest times in my life.

Thank you for singing from the struggle. I always feel like I'm leading from behind, financially. One damn vet bill and any lead we had disappears. Or an oil change. Or a doctor visit. Or car registration. Seems like every month it's one more thing. And then the prices around us rise... again.
Soulful Truth! I would love a Shack with a Creek in the Back, and a good ole Dog!
My Grandmother used to tell me tales of when she was growing up, in a sod house on the prairie, dirt floors, bug and all.

"You don't need that rich man's gold" this song really holds strong seeing you turn down million dollar contracts. Amazing integrity.
“A dog, a shack, a creek in the back and a good woman to hold. Don’t need no rich man’s gold.” We needed the blues back, Oliver delivered.
I work at Sunbelt rentals fulltime loading and unloading bobcats and front end loader. While I was listening to my music I had this song play loud ASF and the truck driver knew exactly who I was listening too. It's crazy how fast your growing on KZread. I work in Dallas in Oak cliff
Keep doing GOD'S work brother, as your Tennessee neighbor, I live in a holler deep in the woods. Just hearing you harmonize in the woods, that there was beautiful. 💯❤❤❤
thank God that there are adequate, real, reasonable people in America! God bless you❤ from Russia
A guitar and a humble voice of truth. That's all it takes to move the world. Jesus was born in the most humble of situation. He saved all who believe. Oliver knows the Lord. ✝️🇺🇸

You sir are absolutely right it's the simple things in life that are the best like you said a good woman and a good dog.
I drove a few hours today listening to all the songs on Apple Music that he’s got on there and this one might be my favorite at the moment…just the authentic sound of these original tracks are amazing!!! He doesn’t need any accompaniment or background music just him and his dobro in the woods with his dogs and we see true blues like this generation hasn’t seen before
