The singer, who has the hottest song in the nation right now, is not some Nashville superstar or pop sensation. The singer who has the most popular music on all platforms is a young man from the hills of Virginia named Oliver Anthony. His music has received tens of millions of downloads in just the past two to three weeks! His most popular song, "Rich Men North of Richmond," is huge, gaining a listenership that crosses all social and ethnic boundaries. It speaks about how the working class is severely taxed by the politicians north of Richmond (Washington DC). However, not everyone is singing his praises for various reasons. In this episode, Wade Lentz and Harold Smith give their opinion of the song from their pastoral perspective. Tell us your thoughts about Anthony's music; we'd love to hear from you!
