Most of us country boys are raised and molded around this song. Fishing, hunting, farming etc.... "Yes ma'am and Yes sir" is a way of life in Tennessee. We take care of our own and always open the door for a woman. Country boys are tougher than shoe leather.
His dad is the most influential figure in the genre. Which is saying something, considering how short his career was. He died in 1953 at the age of 29, when Hank Jr was 3 years old. Hank Williams Sr.'s music is featured in a lot of movies, like Forrest Gump and Shawshank Redemption. His music is even featured in the huge game title called The Last of Us. Hank Williams Sr was like Elvis before Elvis. Not in style, but in superstar gravitas and charisma. There's only a couple of raw video performances of him that exist.
Hank Williams Sr is a rabbit hole all on to its self. Hank Williams Jr has been doing concerts since he was a small boy. Hank Williams III is another one that is doing music is own way.
On August 8, 1975, Williams was nearly killed while mountain climbing in southwestern Montana. While climbing Ajax Peak on the continental divide (Idaho border) west of Jackson, the snow beneath Williams collapsed and he fell almost 500 feet (150 m) onto rock, causing multiple severe skull and facial fractures. His face struck a boulder on the way down, fracturing his skull in a number of places. His nose, teeth and jaw were broken to pieces, his eye was hanging out of the socket, and a fracture in his skull had even left his brain exposed. The first two people Hank Jr. saw when he woke in the hospital was none other than his godmother, June Carter Cash and her husband Johnny Cash. Hank Jr. would go on to endure nine more surgeries to repair the damage to his head and face. We’re talking plates, skin grafts, the whole nine yards. To cover the scars and permanent disfiguration, Hank grew out his beard, started wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat… and Hank Williams Jr.’s signature look was born.
Hank Williams, Senior passed away at 29, and yet he gave us some great Western songs like: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", so please enjoy this man's good ol' Daddy's songs as well! 😢🎵😁 Thanks!🙏
Growing up in a largely rural area where it's just like this song. It was my high school's unofficial theme song. In the parking lot, every other pick-up truck had a gun rack with at least one gun and the first day of deer hunting was an accepted excuse. Hank, Jr.'s daddy was Hank Williams, Sr. one of the greatest country music singer/songwriters and icon of all time.
The best Concert I ever went to was in my Hometown of Wilmington.NC. It was during the 1983 Azalea Festival and Alabama who was a up and coming group was the opening act for Hank Williams Jr. I was 19 years old and I was working as Student Security at UNCW. I was also in the National Guard and i was about a foot or so from the stage. Both Alabama and Hank Williams Jr would go on to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Please react to Hank William Jr song Family Tradition, He mentions his Dad and him singing different type Music. Hank Williams Sr when he was playing at the Grand Ole Oprea would take Hank Williams Jr with him. Their was a ventriloquist Doll named Bocephus and Hank Williams Jr looked like him so he was nicknamed by his Dad Bocephus.
Hank Sr. is the gold standard in country music and anyone will tell you so. Hank Jr. is one talented man who can play any instrument and does rock as good as he does country. He has won several country music awards for artist of the year and takes sh#t from no one. Liberty you should dive into more country music , I think you will really enjoy it, you seem like a country girl at heart...
And "The Devil Comes Back To Georgia" by Mark O'Conner, Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash, Marty Stuart, and Travis Tritt. Many people forget the original has this sequel.
There's an 8 minute compilation of all of his TV performances that you can watch on YT, labeled "Hank Williams-Kate Smith Shows March & April 1952" uploaded by Earl Martin. He wrote all of the songs he performed. June Carter (Johnny Cash's future wife) is featured in there as she introduces Hank Sr and her sister Anita Carter doing a duet. Those performances were about 8 & 9 months before he unexpectedly passed.. He passed on the night of New Years 1953 at the age of 29, while riding to a show in the back of his Cadillac.
Hank Sr., just like his son, was an absolute animal. He was actually fired from the Opry because of his antics. That doesn't make him any less of a legend. Tear in my Beer is probably my favorite of his. There are lots of Hank Sr songs that you'd enjoy. Hank Jr is no slouch when it comes to hits. This is a great double barreled rabbit hole to jump into head first.
Hank Sr. was very influential in country music. Hank Jr. or as we call him Bocephus started off young and doing his daddies songs after Sr. passed. In the 80s Bocephus found his footing with his style of music.....worthwhile rabbit hole on both
You may have heard Hank Jr. without realizing it, although it has been a minute since he did the intro. "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?" 😂😂😂 That's a "cover" of his tune "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight." Later in his career, he bemoaned the fact that "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down." 😂😂😂 I'm not a country music fan by any stretch, but grew up with my folks listening to his daddy (Hank Sr.), so I've been familiar with the works of these two gentlemen my whole life. I actually saw Hank Jr. in 1991. Great entertainer. Played every instrument that was on that stage that night. Knew how to write a good country song, too. Check out "Family Tradition." It's about the old-timers that knew his daddy and Jr's contemporaries giving him shit because his music don't sound like daddy's, among other things. Nothing but respect for Jr. as a musician.
Hank Williams Junior inherited a lot of his famous father's issues . Hank Junior climbed a mountain and fell a long way down , nearly to his death . His facial and eye injuries lead to him wearing sunglasses for the rest of his life . Even after his injuries he successfully continued to perform musically and pursuit outdoor activities like hunting and fishing .
Great Reaction and that write-up is AWESOME!! You swayed Me in as a New Sub.!! Keep up the Good Work Youngin'!! Hank had Me from the Git-Go!! Been a Fan for 40 some years!! Bocephus is THE MAN!!🤠👍
First of all, I thought your dog was a stuffed animal.. very pretty. Hank Williams Jr. “Man of Steel” is a good one that rarely gets reacted to. Just subscribed. Keep it up! 👍
I’m only half way through your video and no harm meant with my comment. I have to say your comments show how very very young minded you are and the very very little experience you have adulting. You completely missed the sentiment of this song. It doesn’t have anything to do with what you or I can do as far as skinning a buck or catching catfish all day long growing tomato’s and making homemade wine (your Meade) It’s meant to point out that Country Folks will Survive When The MAN comes and takes what little city people still have like being able to Buy Food And Pay For Their Homes ETC… Country folks live off the land and don’t depend on anything or anyone to help them survive. Maybe you did understand the true meaning of what Hank Williams Jr is saying but your words just show that you’re still very very young. I hope the best for you and your generation and it makes my heart hurt to think about and know what’s happening and what’s coming to the world. I was born in the very early 60’s and life was a much much safer and simpler time. I wish you all the best as you grow in your knowledge and wisdom and wish you nothing but goodness and longevity. Bless all of our youth and help them fix the mess this very troubled world is in!
You are so charming and enjoyed your reaction to a legend. I just request you review Family Tradition. Read comments so your questions had been answered.
I was raised just north of Denver Colorado. But my family owned property in the Rocky Mountains. So we spent our summers up there. So I relate to this song and he gave us a shout out too. We started out roughing it up there, then got trailers. But us kids still loved tenting it down in the aspen groves. We built a big house for everybody.. we had it framed and were working as a family dry walling and building the rest together. Until my grandmother got cancer for the third time. My uncle had to move for his job and after she died they sold the property. Our family all went our own ways. This happened when I was 13. But all I ever knew until then was the summers up there.
Hank Jr. grew up in the shadow of his father's career. Big shoes to fill. Hank senior was so popular that when he died people wanted Jr. To take his father's place and sing his old songs that everyone loved. But Jr. knew he had to make it on his own. It kind of addresses this on his song Family Tradition. Give that song a listen. I think you will like it. And check out Hank Williams Sr. Truly an icon of early country music.
There’s a song by Aaron Lewis that pays homage to this song, called “Country Boy”. The live studio version features legendary country artists George Jones and Charlie Daniels. I saw him in concert and he was so good!
I knew of III, but didn't realize there was a IV. I guess he would be old enough to be out there doin' his own thing these days. With a name like that, what else you gonna do? 😂😂😂
I saw the light........Love Sick Blues......Just look up his daddy...Lil' Bocephus is what his daddy called him......Do some Charlie Daniels....ZZ Top......Marshall Tucker Band.....look throught those artist's catalogues.....Southern Rock and Old timie country...Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Will the Circle be unbroken album.....Allmann Brothers Band too..........thanksfor your time
Hank Williams Jr has so many great songs we could list. But here's two that I wish reactors would finally do of his: • Blues Man • All in Alabama Some background about Hank Jr that will help you understand the second song: He was raised in the music business to be the spitting image of his father. And once he got into adulthood, he kinda started having an identity crisis and wanted to start going his own way. But he was highly criticized for it, and called crazy. During that time, he went hunting for big ram sheep in Montana. He was hiking on top of a mountain with a friend and his young boy. At which point the ground gave way and Hank tumbled down the mountain 500ft and landed face first into a boulder. It crushed his face, knocked out his eye, and exposed his brain. The little boy had to stay there and talk to him and keep him conscious while his friend went and got help, which came hours later. Hank awoke a few days later in the hospital with Johnny and June Cash at his bedside. From that point on, Hank Jr has always worn a beard, sunglasses, and a hat to cover up his scars.. There is an old interview where be removes his sunglasses to show the scar around his eye. It's noticeable, but doesn't look too bad.
@@LibertyBelleReacts There's a video on YT of Toby Keith performing "Country Boy Can Survive" where they tell the story before the performance. It was during a special where artists were honoring Hank Jr. But again, his song "All in Alabama" eludes to the event.
Damn Belle, you pulled thoughts straight from my head about hunting for your own food, and coming to terms with the realities involved. JUST NOT BELOW 55 DEGREES!!!!🤣 I'm such a cold weather candy, I'm going to escape the harsh winters of Alabama for south Florida!!😳
Hi Liberty. You are a Sweetheart! "Country Boy Can Survive" is an iconic song. One of the most requested songs in Country Music History. I'd like to see you react to some of my favorite Country artists of the past. The legendary Crystal Gayle. Vastly underrated talents like Lari White, Holly Dunn, Kelly Willis, James House, Deborah Allen, Radney Foster and Marty Brown among others. With Lari I'd start with her duet that she Co-wrote with Travis Tritt "Helping Me Get Over You" from 1997. The video has over 30 million views on RUclips. Also check out "Don't Go Home Again (Flies On The Butter), "Wishes" and Stepping Stone". "That's My Baby", "Now I Know" "That's How You Know", and "Lead Me Not" are kind of her signatures, but she had many other great songs. An awesome duet with a guy named Esera Tuaolo called "Another Broken Heart" the video to which has way to few views and comments on RUclips . It should have Millions of views, and only has around 30,000. Lari was tremendous songwriter and musician, with a phenomenal voice. A couple of my favorites song's of Lari's are the little known "If I'm Not Already Crazy" and Ghost Of A Chance". I think your love the Jaunty "Wild At Heart". She was an amazing live performer. Sadly, Lari died of Cancer in January of 2018, just after completing a new album project. She was just 52. I'm desperately trying to get her noticed by the younger generation. The same with all the other artists I mentioned.
He did another version to poke fun of the Y2K scare, called "A Country Boy Can Survive Y2K". That one's lesser known since the millennium hit, but would be worth it if you can find a recording.
Hank Williams Senior died outside of Beckley, WV. One of hit top hits - "Tear in My Beer". Cool! I make Mead, beer & wine. PS Don't forget to degas your mead before you bottle it.
I don't know where you are but if you are anywhere near me, which I doubt by your dislike of winter, to hunt several species of animal, pronghorn, white tale, and mule deer 🦌, plus elk, and moose if you're lucky enough enough, if your wealthy you can hunt a bison 🦬, but those are kinda spendy hunts!..for Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
YEAH!!! North California. I hunted and fished and lived off the land and loved it. Even though I know how to skin a buck, grow tomatoes and potatoes and corn and carrots butI have never made whiskey or homemade wine. Maybe I should learn.
Research the Hank Williams name to take a deep dive into one of the greatest family legacies in Country music. Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, June Carter Cash (a rising star in Country music before she married Johnny), Red Solvine (probably miss-spelled the name), Dolly Parton, Loreta Lynn, and many others led the rise of Country Music. May I suggest you check out Chapel Heart, Gregin Wilson, and many others in the modern version of Country Music. God bless and be safe out there.
The whole dynamic of Hank Williams Sr. and Hank Williams Jr. is very interesting. Senior was, despite his early death, a huge influence on country music. He has the "twangy" sound a lot of people associate with country music. Junior was only about three when his daddy died. He showed talent young and was raised and pushed to sound just like his dad. But like a lot of young people, he rebelled. He became part of what became known as "outlaw country" because it was in your face, and incorporated a lot of outside influences like rock and blues. He got a LOT of pushback from people in the industry that thought he was rejecting his dad's legacy. In addition to his musical influence, Senior was known for his issues with substance abuse. He had severe scoliosis and chronic pain. His alcohol and painkiller use contributed to his death at the age of 29. Junior had his own problems with substances. He also had a climbing accident that nearly killed him. The injuries to his face are why you always see him with a beard, hat, and sunglasses. Two songs that confront the expectations that the music industry had for him, his struggle to be his own man in the shadow of his father, and his struggle with the same demons are "Family Tradition" and "The Conversation" (with Waylon Jennings, another "outlaw"). These hit themes a lot of people relate to. True, most of us don't have a country music legend as a parent, but most of us struggle with the expectations our family and friends have for us, our own dreams, and a lot of time a family history of mental health or addiction problems that we have to work through. I think you'll like them. It helps to know the history to understand the songs, though. Even in his "party" song, "All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight", at the end of the music video, a ghostly Cadillac flies through the air and Junior salutes it - it is a tribute to the father he doesn't remember, a legendary party animal in his own right.
Um, so, yeah,, Sr is most certainly a real person that is jr's father,, and there is much much history to country music,, Jones, Jennings, Reed, Haggard, so many, now called outlaw country 🤔🤔 and well, there no place other than America such music can be inspired
Great reaction young lady! I was going to invite you to come deer hunting with our family but it may be a little too chilly for you. Another song you may appreciate is a recent one called Try That In A Small Town. It’s by Jason Aldene.
I have spent all of my nearly 50 years in the country, in northern Alberta. I can do everything he mentions, except the fishing. I seemed to be jinxed where fishing is concerned. There have been a couple brief periods, where I lived in the city. It was unbearable. You lack so many basic freedoms in the city, it amazes me how so many people seek it out. Different mind set to me, I guess. Also, Definitely check out Hank Sr. He is, probably, the second best of the mid-century country line up.
Hank Sr invented country music. The first music superstar. He may have not been the best, but he would do till they got here. He died when Hank Jr was still a toddler. Do yourself a favor and watch A Tear In My Beer.
Oh my God, you are the only one that thought the music reminded you of Cats In The Cradle. I thought the same thing. Kudos to you. Now I know I not crazy. 😁😁🤪🤪
is there a hank williams sr???????? Are you kidding me..... thats about as clueless as kanye west when he collabed with Paul McCartney and said this guy has talent and is going places hahahahahaha.... Paul had been more famous and done more performances, worked with more superstar singers than you could ever imagine.... bless his little heart hahahahaha. Props to the dog just chillin in front of the ac lol..
If you listen to hank the III you should listen to Outlaw ways with David allan coe. You should also check out conversation with hank jr Waylon Jennings
Just pick a Hank song. Jr or Sr, really doesn't matter. If you did one a week it would take years to go thru the good ones. And don't forget Hank III... he's something else.
There’s actually a Hank Williams III also. I saw him front row in NC. First half of the concert is country then the latter part is grunge def metal mosh Pitt music

He is like the grandfather of country music.
Hank Sr is #4 behind Cash,Strait,Merle.
@@timothyhayes2935 1) George strait is awesome but he’s not top 10. 2) Merle and Johnny are way more awesome that that but they can’t hold hanks junk.
sr is on eof the biggest influence in country
Country people can be your best friend but don't mess with us we are many and we look out for one another.
Most of us country boys are raised and molded around this song. Fishing, hunting, farming etc.... "Yes ma'am and Yes sir" is a way of life in Tennessee. We take care of our own and always open the door for a woman. Country boys are tougher than shoe leather.
Ain't it the truth. Been with my COUNTRY BOY for almost THIRTY years. ❤ eM

"Is there a famous Hank Sr?" 😳 😂😢
Hey, if you don't know. You don't know. I'm glad you're checking it out!
Hank Williams Jr aka Bocephus was the very first concert I ever went to. Will always love Hank! 😊
Hank Jr. could give rock bands tips on how to put on a show.
I grew up on bocephus, I'm 44, "women i've never had" or " my name is bocephus" are probably my faves

You gotta listen to Charlie Danials “simple man” it’s similar to this but more like, fuck around and find out edition
Hank SR. straight out of Georgiana, Alabama.
OD'ed in Denver is one of my favorite Hank songs. No one reacts to it.

@wgj4everlong426 I stand corrected. As I said, not a fan, so I was making an assumption the settling down came after the coming over. 😂😂😂
Hunting gives you a direct and personal connection to your food. Do it once and you'll never want to purchase meat from the store again.
I am going to add on as well...she said she was cold... you absolutely want to harvest and skin deer in colder temperatures.
Hank Williams Junior inherited a lot of his famous father's issues . Hank Junior climbed a mountain and fell a long way down , nearly to his death .

Hank Williams Jr. - Whiskey on Ice
Hank Williams Jr has so many great songs we could list. But here's two that I wish reactors would finally do of his:
• Blues Man
• All in Alabama
Some background about Hank Jr that will help you understand the second song: He was raised in the music business to be the spitting image of his father. And once he got into adulthood, he kinda started having an identity crisis and wanted to start going his own way. But he was highly criticized for it, and called crazy.
During that time, he went hunting for big ram sheep in Montana. He was hiking on top of a mountain with a friend and his young boy. At which point the ground gave way and Hank tumbled down the mountain 500ft and landed face first into a boulder. It crushed his face, knocked out his eye, and exposed his brain. The little boy had to stay there and talk to him and keep him conscious while his friend went and got help, which came hours later. Hank awoke a few days later in the hospital with Johnny and June Cash at his bedside.
From that point on, Hank Jr has always worn a beard, sunglasses, and a hat to cover up his scars.. There is an old interview where be removes his sunglasses to show the scar around his eye. It's noticeable, but doesn't look too bad.
Wow! I had no idea.
@@LibertyBelleReacts There's a video on YT of Toby Keith performing "Country Boy Can Survive" where they tell the story before the performance. It was during a special where artists were honoring Hank Jr.
But again, his song "All in Alabama" eludes to the event.
Damn Belle, you pulled thoughts straight from my head about hunting for your own food, and coming to terms with the realities involved. JUST NOT BELOW 55 DEGREES!!!!🤣 I'm such a cold weather candy, I'm going to escape the harsh winters of Alabama for south Florida!!😳
Hi Liberty. You are a Sweetheart! "Country Boy Can Survive" is an iconic song. One of the most requested songs in Country Music History. I'd like to see you react to some of my favorite Country artists of the past. The legendary Crystal Gayle. Vastly underrated talents like Lari White, Holly Dunn, Kelly Willis, James House, Deborah Allen, Radney Foster and Marty Brown among others. With Lari I'd start with her duet that she Co-wrote with Travis Tritt "Helping Me Get Over You" from 1997. The video has over 30 million views on RUclips. Also check out "Don't Go Home Again (Flies On The Butter), "Wishes" and Stepping Stone". "That's My Baby", "Now I Know" "That's How You Know", and "Lead Me Not" are kind of her signatures, but she had many other great songs. An awesome duet with a guy named Esera Tuaolo called "Another Broken Heart" the video to which has way to few views and comments on RUclips . It should have Millions of views, and only has around 30,000. Lari was tremendous songwriter and musician, with a phenomenal voice. A couple of my favorites song's of Lari's are the little known "If I'm Not Already Crazy" and Ghost Of A Chance". I think your love the Jaunty "Wild At Heart". She was an amazing live performer. Sadly, Lari died of Cancer in January of 2018, just after completing a new album project. She was just 52. I'm desperately trying to get her noticed by the younger generation. The same with all the other artists I mentioned.
Hank Sr. is a Country Legend who wrote over 200 songs, Hank Jr. mentions him in his song MAN OF STEEL.
He did another version to poke fun of the Y2K scare, called "A Country Boy Can Survive Y2K". That one's lesser known since the millennium hit, but would be worth it if you can find a recording.
There is Hank Sr, Hank jr, Hank the III, and Hank the 4th, the youngest isn't very popular yet
Hank Williams Senior died outside of Beckley, WV. One of hit top hits - "Tear in My Beer". Cool! I make Mead, beer & wine. PS Don't forget to degas your mead before you bottle it.
I don't know where you are but if you are anywhere near me, which I doubt by your dislike of winter, to hunt several species of animal, pronghorn, white tale, and mule deer 🦌, plus elk, and moose if you're lucky enough enough, if your wealthy you can hunt a bison 🦬, but those are kinda spendy hunts!..for Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
Home Free does a cover of a Blake Sheldon original, "Hillbilly Bone", that's definitely worth a listen.
YEAH!!! North California. I hunted and fished and lived off the land and loved it. Even though I know how to skin a buck, grow tomatoes and potatoes and corn and carrots butI have never made whiskey or homemade wine. Maybe I should learn.
His father's name is Hank Williams. Famous country singer.
Research the Hank Williams name to take a deep dive into one of the greatest family legacies in Country music. Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, June Carter Cash (a rising star in Country music before she married Johnny), Red Solvine (probably miss-spelled the name), Dolly Parton, Loreta Lynn, and many others led the rise of Country Music. May I suggest you check out Chapel Heart, Gregin Wilson, and many others in the modern version of Country Music. God bless and be safe out there.
The fact that you want to learn things and aren’t pretentious at all, SUBSCRIBED.
The whole dynamic of Hank Williams Sr. and Hank Williams Jr. is very interesting. Senior was, despite his early death, a huge influence on country music. He has the "twangy" sound a lot of people associate with country music. Junior was only about three when his daddy died. He showed talent young and was raised and pushed to sound just like his dad.
But like a lot of young people, he rebelled. He became part of what became known as "outlaw country" because it was in your face, and incorporated a lot of outside influences like rock and blues. He got a LOT of pushback from people in the industry that thought he was rejecting his dad's legacy.
In addition to his musical influence, Senior was known for his issues with substance abuse. He had severe scoliosis and chronic pain. His alcohol and painkiller use contributed to his death at the age of 29. Junior had his own problems with substances. He also had a climbing accident that nearly killed him. The injuries to his face are why you always see him with a beard, hat, and sunglasses.
Two songs that confront the expectations that the music industry had for him, his struggle to be his own man in the shadow of his father, and his struggle with the same demons are "Family Tradition" and "The Conversation" (with Waylon Jennings, another "outlaw"). These hit themes a lot of people relate to. True, most of us don't have a country music legend as a parent, but most of us struggle with the expectations our family and friends have for us, our own dreams, and a lot of time a family history of mental health or addiction problems that we have to work through.
I think you'll like them. It helps to know the history to understand the songs, though.
Even in his "party" song, "All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight", at the end of the music video, a ghostly Cadillac flies through the air and Junior salutes it - it is a tribute to the father he doesn't remember, a legendary party animal in his own right.
Um, so, yeah,, Sr is most certainly a real person that is jr's father,, and there is much much history to country music,, Jones, Jennings, Reed, Haggard, so many, now called outlaw country 🤔🤔 and well, there no place other than America such music can be inspired
Great reaction young lady! I was going to invite you to come deer hunting with our family but it may be a little too chilly for you. Another song you may appreciate is a recent one called Try That In A Small Town. It’s by Jason Aldene.
I have spent all of my nearly 50 years in the country, in northern Alberta. I can do everything he mentions, except the fishing. I seemed to be jinxed where fishing is concerned. There have been a couple brief periods, where I lived in the city. It was unbearable. You lack so many basic freedoms in the city, it amazes me how so many people seek it out. Different mind set to me, I guess.
Also, Definitely check out Hank Sr. He is, probably, the second best of the mid-century country line up.
You absolutely ROCK! Good Luck and God Bless.
Hank Williams Sr is to country music what Babe Ruth is to baseball
Hank Sr invented country music. The first music superstar. He may have not been the best, but he would do till they got here. He died when Hank Jr was still a toddler. Do yourself a favor and watch A Tear In My Beer.
Oh my God, you are the only one that thought the music reminded you of Cats In The Cradle. I thought the same thing. Kudos to you. Now I know I not crazy. 😁😁🤪🤪
is there a hank williams sr???????? Are you kidding me..... thats about as clueless as kanye west when he collabed with Paul McCartney and said this guy has talent and is going places hahahahahaha.... Paul had been more famous and done more performances, worked with more superstar singers than you could ever imagine.... bless his little heart hahahahaha. Props to the dog just chillin in front of the ac lol..
Don't know why so many pick this song when they want to react to Hank Jr.? I think All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight is a much better song.
If you listen to hank the III you should listen to Outlaw ways with David allan coe. You should also check out conversation with hank jr Waylon Jennings
Just pick a Hank song. Jr or Sr, really doesn't matter. If you did one a week it would take years to go thru the good ones. And don't forget Hank III... he's something else.
My cousin played steel guitar for Hank Jr… The man is a legend!!!
There’s actually a Hank Williams III also. I saw him front row in NC. First half of the concert is country then the latter part is grunge def metal mosh Pitt music
I’ve listened to both songs a million times and never made the connection to Cats in the Cradle. You picked it up in seconds.
You just realized your American!
She realized wait a min,, damn I'm a country girl,,🤔🤔hhmm ok I don't hate that
