Virginia Factory Worker Becomes 'Overnight Sensation' as Blue-Collar Anthem 'Rich Men North of Richmond' Blows Up

I believe that I have found my new favorite song. Written and sung by Farmville, Virginia, native Oliver Anthony, the recently released single, “Rich Men North of Richmond” has placed into words what the heart of America is feeling.

The response has been staggering since its debut. According to Whiskey Riff, which dubbed Anthony “an overnight sensation,” an outpouring of encouragement continues to flow similar to this comment: “This man needs our support as much as we need his message and songs.”

Many agree. They see this as just the beginning for Anthony.
