Great White Men have hearts of a lion. Never have lion-hearted men been needed more than right now!
To me he is the best modern country musician there is at the moment. Of course I don’t know the genre very well so I’m sure there are plenty of others.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing.
For those of you who like your bluegrass with a tinge of gospel I present the HillBilly Thomists.
A group of Dominican friars in Appalachia who also happen to have great musical chops (as well as a passion for the writings of St Thomas Aquinas).
They have some great harmonies and personally I think this is one of their best.
Course!! Also for those of you who like the Tyler Childers sound check out red barn radio on YouTube. Lots of great stuff thereGreat vid. Thanks for sharing.
Shaman (Russia)
Я Русский → English translation
I am Russian
I breath this air
The sun in the sky looks at me
The free wind flies over me
It is just like me
I just want to love and to breathe
I don't need anything more
I am what I am
No one can break me because...
I am Russian, I push to the end
I am Russian, I got my blood from my father
I am Russian, I am lucky
I am Russian and I don't care if you don't like it
I am Russian
This song flies into the sky
And it calls me with it
My heart burns inside of me
Lighting my way home
Where I just want to love and to breathe
I don't need anything more
I am what I am
No one can break me because...
I am Russian, I push to the end
I am Russian, I got my blood from my father
I am Russian, I am lucky
I am Russian and I don't care if you don't like it
I am Russian

Seems like it’s been a long time since we have had that kind of patriotic outpouring. I suspect there would be more too but after enduring the lies of the last few years a lot of people are more turned off I think.I saw this tweet today
and was compelled to find the song.
It's very catchy, in fact.
I certainly can't say how popular it actually is with the Russian public, or where it's concentrated. (Currently at 36 million views after a year is a pittance in the youtube era of fake stats)
The lyrics are awesome. I wish it was a song for "USA instead of "Russia," because there is a lot of spirit and positivity that isn't commonplace here these days, even in the most wholesome holdover corners.
If you watch the music video past the end of the song, at the 3:41 mark, there's a cut to "meanwhile, in America..." and there's a Hollywood backdrop. A black couple is jamming to this song on their radio. It made me LOL IRL because that is how "the Russians" think of our country, how messages gain their acceptance and approval through gatekeepers. It must be filtered through (((Hollywood))) and delivered by negroes in a luxury vehicle in the wilderness. Lots of stinging barbs in one simple, 10-second clip!
I have no knowledge about this performer "Shaman" and had never heard of him until yesterday. The song is naked propaganda, and I'm certain its circulation has been positively influenced by the Russian government. Why wouldn't it be, even if it was completely organic?
You probably remember the jingle "proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free..." This is right up that same alley.
It's not nearly even a new concept, making pro-government positions into pop music. Apparently, the Mamas and the Papas were spooks!
One of the all-time great rock songs:
Hagg was amazing. No doubtSeems appropriate. An important song. Merle Haggard was ahead of his time.
Mickey Thomas the singer on many of the Jefferson Starship records was also the lead singer for Elvin Bishop's hit, "Fooled Around and Felled in Love." A good old Georgia boy.
