True: Hank Williams saw himself as a failure, I knew or met Hank a long time ago, and I would like to add to this beautifully done video. The one thing that was missing was the answer to the question that Hank longed for. Hank was close to his Mother, but being a woman, couldn't give Hank a satisfactory answer. Hank longed to know "At what point in a young mans life, When does he become a Man." 2. From Learning music on the streets and associating with friends whom, were what his mother would refer to as being wild, A new Spirit was being born. That Spirit was to become known as Luke the Drifter. 3. Hank in concert, Hank rarely sang directly to his audience, He always sang to God, and He was ministering to the people. Last: They comment that Hank could be in a room full of people and feel as lonely as all hell. That was because he lived through Luke the Drifter, inside of himself, he always felt like a kid. He always looked for people who saw life the same way as he did, but he never did, because he was a one of a kind type of person. thanks
@@phillipgarrow2297 When any person calls themselves a failure it only means that there is something missing in their lives, I wasn't talking about Hank's accomplishments as a performer, writer, or thinker, he always followed his Light! Hank Failed as being able to connect on Soul mate level with his peers. Hank felt safe behind an invisible fence, or as I said before He always stood behind Luke the Drifter. Thanks
One of my favorite artists. --- Hank was a fiddle player. There are no recordings, but there are pictures of "Early Hank" as a Fiddler. --- According to the book, "Life and Times of Hank Williams", when Hank was interviewing Jerry Rivers, Hank played "Sally Goodin", then handed the fiddle to Rivers, sayin' "Now you play." After Rivers played the tune, Hank said, "Anyone better than me is pretty good. You're hired." When Hank died on New Years Day, 1953, Hank's song on the Charts was "I'll Never Get Out of this World Alive". The structure of Hank's song "Move it on Over" , is virtually identical to the 7-year-later song, that some consider to be the start of Rock-n-Roll, "Rock Around the Clock". Almost the same song.
Remember, Hank Williams couldn't read or write. He wrote his songs in the way of comics he called "goof books". Fred Rose was the one that helped write the sheet music. Hank once said that he never learned how to notate music. The words and music were just the "things" in his head. Fred Rose knew how special Hank was when he asked Hank to write a song about seeing a old love. He an Audrey went to a diner for a cup of coffee and came back thirty minutes later. The song Hank had wrote was 'Mansion On the Hill'. He wrote that classic in 30 minutes. We'll never have someone that special again

@BatMan-x6r he certainly was not a failure, he did a lot in his short life

This dude's basically the Jimi Hendrix of the Country world, rip!
I would mind going back to alcohol and pain meds, but if I want to stay married I’m gonna have to just deal with it
A broken 💔 was his downfall great legend gone tooo soon
Hank Williams was the king of country's soul - Waylon Jennings
Pain,alcohol and pain killers are a bad combination he may have died at 29 years old but he looked much older
Williams seemed more like a man in his 50's.
