      And unfortunately he’s also a pretty damn good singer.

      Like my hackles were up the whole time I was listening to the song because I knew this is some sort of like Republican redneck protest song against the liberals, but at the same time I had to admit the guy can fucking sing and it was a good song.

      We really need to step up our protest song game.

        You need to get out there and look.

        Lots of revolutionary music being made, just not made by industry plants and boosted by bullshit

        Tho he is a good singer, the song was basic

        Yeah that first verse about how we struggle, etc. I was very interested. Then look out for miners, not minors…oook easy dunk, we can all get behind protecting kids. Then the welfare thing. Oh it’s republican talking points not a new uprising of classic country like Cash

          I love AJJ, they are a mainstay on my playlists. Their songs are good to great in the lyrics department. But musically they’re not super amazing. Their lead singer also has not a great singing voice. I don’t think any of their songs could be called “catchy” - and none of them are going to get the attention this guy’s song did, and a big part of that is their songs aren’t as good - again, simply from a music standpoint.

        The song on youtube does seem to have recorded much greater pipes than he actually has live in person.
