Oliver Anthony’s meteoric rise to become a folk hero is incredible to watch. …
The writer and performer of “Rich Men North of Richmond” is singing the anthem of a generation, and the best part about it? He’s honest, genuine, and a real salt-of-the-earth type.
Anthony recently appeared at both Joe Rogan’s comedy club in Austin Texas and on the Joe Rogan Experience.
The rising folk-country star tackled topics ranging from the problem of the state, mental health, his music, President Trump, and the Bible.

“I mean, I’m 31 and I’ve been playing guitar and singing on and off since I was a kid.
My grandma was in a band years ago and, I was like five and I used to sit with my grandma and we’d watch The Dukes of Hazzard and watch Waylon Jennings pick that guitar — I had no idea who Waylon Jennings was, but I just fell in love with that.
