Rich Men North of Richmond - Oliver Anthony - MP3 instrumental karaoke

On Oliver Anthony's divisive viral hit of 2023, "Rich Men North of Richmond," he calls out Washington and the political establishment while hinting at his experience of alcoholism ("I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day / Overtime hours for bullshit pay / So I can sit out here and waste my life away / Drag back home and drown my troubles away.") Littered with offensive stereotypes, "Rich Men North of Richmond" split America down the middle, with many right-wing commentators championing the song while Oliver Anthony later went on to describe himself as a centrist. This acoustic country tune—built around simple resophonic guitar—by a previously under-the-radar artist from Farmville, Virginia remarkably shot straight to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, making Oliver Anthony the first artist to top the chart without any prior chart appearances. The song caught the attention of country star John Rich who offered to produce the next Oliver Anthony record.
