The song has gone viral, amassing over 1.7 million views on YouTube alone, and has been praised by prominent conservatives such as Glenn Beck and Laura Ingram. Anthony’s voice is powerful and emotive, complemented perfectly by the natural acoustics of the surrounding woods and his resonator guitar.
Perhaps the most striking aspect of the song is its commentary on the great divide between the elites and the working class. Anthony speaks directly to the “rich men north of Richmond” in Washington D.C. and New York City, letting them know that their grip on power is slipping. He makes a clear reference to the notorious Epstein Island, pointing out that politicians should be protecting miners, not minors on an island somewhere.
Despite his success, Anthony’s story is one of struggle and hardship. He has battled mental health issues and alcoholism, and only found success after making a promise to God to get sober and pursue his dreams. He currently lives off the grid in Farmville, Virginia, with his three dogs, dedicating himself to his music and the pursuit of a better future for himself and his fellow Americans.
Conservatives around the country have rallied around Anthony and his powerful message. From social media to Fox News, his voice is being heard loud and clear. This is the kind of country music that we need, raw and poetic, with a message that resonates with everyday Americans. Let us all join together and sing the praises of Oliver Anthony, the voice of the American working man.
