Your next 50's/60's Country Western reaction needs to be Marty Robbins "El Paso" - Talk about story telling, it's like watching a 2 hour western movie in a 4 minute song.
Strawberry Roan
Great suggestion! I’d go “Big Iron” after!
I second the nomination for "El Paso", "Big Iron", and "The Strawberry Roan". I would add "San Angelo", "The Ballad Of The Alamo", "Running Gun", "Utah Carol", "The Master's Call", "Felina (From El Paso)", "El Paso City", "The Song Of The Bandit", "Cool Water"
You want a good laugh while doing El Paso do the one with Steve Martin doing the video. It is the funniest music video you will ever see.
Yes!! El Paso is a must; he’s one of the best storytellers!
You two are to be commended for checking out such a wide spectrum of excellence!
YES!
...and on that spectrum you'll also come to Lead Belly...gotta find some LB.
@@22tango79yes! Given all the Midnight Special clips Ja and Amber have seen, perhaps they should listen to Led Belly’s song !
Tom T. Hall, his nickname is The Storyteller. May I suggest "Old dogs, children, and watermelon wine'
This is an excellent recommendation.... you guys would love it....
The recommendation of Tom T Hall is a great one. The song is a great choice also. Another is The year Clayton Delaney Died. BTW Tom T also wrote Harper Valley PTA.
Yeah I like Tom t hall and herd that for the first time the other day and loved it
That’s How I Got To Memphis
Second on the Old Dogs and Children
It's so hard to believe he was only 29 years old when he died in 1953. So he had all this great music in a very short life. I believe this was recorded in 1949.
If you'd like to hear something more upbeat from him check out "Hey Good Lookin'" or "Jambalaya (On the Bayou.)" Those were two of my favorites when I was a kid.
I love There's a Tear in my Beer...
@@jbjacobs9514 oh my gosh, my Dad used to go around singing that all the time when I was younger. Memory unlocked.
Mine too - he loved Hank Williams (how I was able to listen to him - my dad had his records) - I would then sing it too, extra twangy. hehehehe I miss my papa!@@hellokimmy68
@@jbjacobs9514 aww! I'm glad you have that good memory with him. I'm very grateful to still have my Dad around, but I lost my Mom 13 years ago. Whenever I hear Neil Diamond or Willie Nelson, that's my memory of her. 💜
RIP to your mama, my mama and my papa. 🙂😞 My grandma and Aunt were crazy for Neil Diamond (so am I now)! My dad loved Willie Nelson too. My parents were both born in the early 30s but had the most diverse list of music that I have ever seen! We always had all kinds of music playing in our house between them and my brothers and sister and I. I am glad to hear the same in your home. Take care and be well. @@hellokimmy68
Warms My heart to see younger folks enjoy Hank. He was my mother's favorite singer. I was 9 yrs old when he died and I remember her crying at the news.
I was 3 days old when he died.
Hank Williams was one of the few things my traditional conservative father and I agreed upon.
He would've turned 100 years old this past September.
Hank Williams sang this for his album in 1949. This was my mother‘s favorite country singer. She would sing all of his songs at the piano and sing her heart out ❤️
You want the best of both worlds, Hank Williams Sr and Hank Jr, "There's a tear in my beer", watching father and son singing together (even though Jr. was very young when he died) is such a tribute to his late father
"Kaw-Liga" is a great story about a cigar store wooden Indian. My favorite as a kid in the 50's
Hank Williams is one of the greatest music figures and most important and influential singer/songwriters of the 20th century.
His impact is found in nearly every genre of music from country to rock and Gospel.
His best hits include:
"Jambalaya", "Your Cheating Heart", "Hey, Good Looking" "I Saw The Ligt", "Lovesick Blues", "Move It On Over", "Honky Tonk Blues", "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive", "Take These Chains From My Heart".
Yes.I think of "Move It On Over" as perhaps the first rock song. If not, it at least had a huge influence.
Don't forget "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", "Cold, Cold Heart", "There's A Tear In My Beer", "Thank God", "Kaw-liga", "I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You"
ALL GREAT TUNES!!!
@@gregorymoore2877 SUCH GREAT SONGS!!
@@gregorymoore2877 I love the version of "There's a tear in my beer" that includes both Hank Snr and Jnr.
My favorite Hank Sr song is "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)."
I have a Hank Williams Tattoo in honor of my father who was a Hank Williams FANATIC and he passed his love of Hank to me. Thanks Guys
Hank Williams is legend. ❤❤
Before Hank Williams there was Jimmy Rodgers: Blue Yodel Number1 (T For Texas) or Jimmy’s collaboration with Louis Armstrong Blue Yodel Number 9(Standing On The Corner) circa early 1930’s.
I'd really like to see them do even a Vernon dalhart tragedy tune
Wow!!
The Father of Country Music was Jimmie Rodgers, who died of tuberculosis is 1933. There is one known film of him, and he sings "Waiting For a Train".
You guys just have to do Lefty Frizzell, Long Black Veil, if you want to hear a story. That and Saginaw, Michigan.
Also Leftys song "Hobos Pride"..
My dad used to hang out and pick and sing with Lefty. His voice...omg! Yes, to Long Black Veil...
Long Black Veil is a great Halloween song! Love it!
To me, Hank was the greatest American songwriter of all time. It would be cool if you guys reacted two rocking Hank songs next, "Move it on Over" and "Mind Your Own Business".
Peace
The real deal!! The original country star!!!!
Jimmie Rodgers, the Singing Brakeman, would be the first.
"Mount Rushmore" of Country music:
Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family.
Honorable mention:
Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, George Jones.
Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs? Conway Twitty? Lynn Anderson, Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson [yeah he's been around since the 50s]
Hank Williams would've turned 100 years old this past September.
"I Saw the Light, Jambalaya, and Hey Good Lookin'" are a few songs by Hank Sr. "Men with Broken Hearts" by the Three Hanks. "The Highway" by Holly Williams (Granddaughter of Hank Sr, Daughter of Hank Jr. and Stepsister of Hank III).
This was from radio days, when families gathered around the radio to be entertained.
One of my favorite quotes comes from the lead singer of Hayseed Dixie. He said it’s his belief that Hank Williams’s Lost Highway & AC/DC’s Highway To Hell are different stretches of the same road.
This song was written by a blind country music singer/songwriter in 1948. Hank included it on an album of his in 1949.
I'm old and I really like Hank Sr.
Have you done "hey good looking" yet for him?
There’s a video for that one!
Hank first did this song in 1949 it was written by Leon Payne a year earlier
Personally I feel Hank was the beginning of all sorts of music. The father of a whole lot of modern music.
You know I really hope they eventually do a Jimmy Rogers reaction eventually and take it back to the twenties and thirties y'all need to hear where Hank got his roots even a good old tragedy song by Vernon dalhart would be pretty awesome
Next you should listen to "Jambalaya". Good foot-tappin' music.
1949 Hank recorded it. This was digitized from a spinning record with scratches, classic static.
Marty Robbins - El Paso
Buck Owens - My Heart Skips a Beat
Patsy Cline - San Antonio Rose
George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today
Loretta Lynn - Fist City
Hank Williams/Setting The Woods On Fire😮😊
"Your Cheating Heart" "Honky-tonk Blues" for your next Hank Williams song. ❤🎶🎼
You would love Linda Ronstadt singing Hank Williams with Emmylou Harris singing backup. The song is
I can’t help it if I’m still in love with you. The recorded version is the best. Linda is responsible for giving Emmylou Harris a break after the death of Gram Parsons with this song.
Definitely a legend! Another artist that would be great to check out is Johnny Horton. His songs Battle of New Orleans, Sink The Bizmark, North To Alaska, When It's Springtime In Alaska, Honky Tonk Man, and Whispering Pines are some great ones to check out!
I second the nomination for Johnny Horton and all the songs you mentioned.
He also excelled at more upbeat songs. You should check out Jambalaya and Setting the Woods on Fire.
Born in the back seat of Greyhound bus. Rolling Down Highway 41.....
One thing about Hank is that his music set a standard across most genres at the time. He was one of the first to.take cues from gospel, R&B, blues and folk music and helped give modern country music it's foundation. There is a reason his songs have been recorded by every type of singer out there. Not only did hwhave #1 songs. His songs themselves were #1 for everyone from tony bennette to sam cooke ray charles and Nora Jones. Hes right up there with another who did young, Buddy Holly. Who died at the age of 22.
Jay and Amber I have an old country story teller for you. Red Sovine 1976 song is called "Teddy Bear". You better have a box of tissues handy, it's sad.
Ohhh MAN.. just about makes me tear up at the mention of it. Same goes for “Giddy Up and Go”! Red Sovine is a King among us Truckers! Some of the best Country out there and a lot of people don’t know.
I tried to suggest him before, but I don’t think they’ve ever gotten around to Red Sovine yet. Hope they do someday, it’ll blow their minds.
LOVE ME SOME HANK SR!!! SO GOOD!! My Dad introduced me to him at a VERY young age....Kawliga was one of his favorites. My Dad would teach me how to two step with my feet on top of his! GREAT MEMORIES!! I think you'd also like Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys: maybe Cherokee Maiden, Roly Poly, San Antonio Rose, or Sugar Moon....and, I know that the band: Asleep At The Wheel covered a bunch of these songs in the early 2000s: THEY did a GREAT JOB on their covers of some of this music. This-type music influenced so many modern artists, and will always hold a special place in my heart. MISS YOU, DADDY!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!
Just for giggles, when Hank thought the song wasn't good enough, he would record the song under his alter ego Luke the Drifter.
Loved it! I would highly recommend Hank's Jambalaya (On the Bayou) It is a banger! 😊
Grew up listening to Hank Williams. My dad loved his music. Every time I listen to him I think of my Dad.
"A woman's lies, makes a life like mine". How great is that line? You can listen to any of his songs and find great lines that stand out and are as memorable as anything you'll ever hear.
"The Funeral, by Hank Williams". This, I would classify as a poem, but it is wonderfully executed. Warning, some of the language is antiquated, and the topic it is about the demise of a child. I can't listen to it without tearing up.
I am so glad you have featured ol' Hank on your channel :-) My late father adored Hank and in 1999 was fortunate enough to travel to the USA from England to visit his grave and boyhood home. Thanks - warm regards, C.
I saw U2 do this once, believe it or not. This was on the Joshua Tree tour, when they were immersing themselves in American music. The first support act, The BoDeans, did their set. Los Lobos, the second act, was running late because of a problem with their bus. So U2, bless them, came out with cowboy hats and called themselves The Delmore Brothers. Bono singing with a twang will be a memory that I’ll carry until my last synapse fires.
He recorded the song in 1949 ❤
Hank Williams is my wife’s grandfather’s first cousin
Jay, you were so close - this came out in 1949, great job :)
Hank Sr,.....It's just absolutely beyond sad that he only lived to age 28. Lots of alcohol with the combination of two particular serious drugs finally caught up with him....he was found deceased in the backseat of his car on New Year's Day in 1953. 😢 Thankfully he wasn't driving to any of shows he did but when I hear this song I think of the sadness of losing such a great singer who was the elite of them all back in the day but those demons constantly grabbed onto him and one they got him and I just think of the decades more of great songs that would have filled the airways had his voice not been silenced so soon. But at least we have these priceless gems of music that he left behind for us to still have the joy of listening to and that of his son and granddaughter and grandson who carry on. ❤
*Hank Williams Jr. .....
I love so much of his music....
"Country State of Mind" is a favorite you would enjoy. "Born To Boogie" is an up tempo and very fun song that you will enjoy 😊
I have all of his albums and he certainly has a ton of great hits to choose from of course! But these two songs come to mind right away for me. He also does a great fun duet with Reba McEntire
(another great Okie 😊), in 1986 on one of his albums,the song is called "Mind Your Own Business". 🎶
*Hank III ....
Now he sounds A LOT like his grandfather when he sings and in a Zoot suit he looks just like him.
Tall and slender like his grandfather was.
My absolute favorite album of Hank III of the many he has done is...
"Broke, Lovesick & Driftin'"
Two songs I know you will enjoy
are "7 months,39 days" and
"Mississippi Mud" and he has a GREAT fiddle player too which really adds to his country songs. But lots of other great songs on this album and on all his numerous albums. My husband and I started going to his shows in 1999....we've seen him many times in concerts over the past 20+ years at country bars ...he doesn't do the big arenas or stadiums like his daddy did. But it's never a dull moment that's for sure.
Hank III did another favorite album I like called "Three Hanks - Men with Broken Hearts....it has hit songs by all three of them.
That album came out in 1996. A must have for your music collection.
But he's a very down to earth guy ... we've met a couple times after the shows and he signed some pictures for us...but he carries on the legacy proudly for his legendary grandfather.
I really enjoyed it as always, hearing you play Hank Sr crooning like no other country singer can.
Keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart! 😊🎶❤️
one of the saddest and most haunting songs ever from my favorite country singer of all time. Hes one of the most influential singer songwriters of all time impacting several genres
She nailed it storytelling
Hank 🐐
In 1951 Hank had a live early morning show on WSM radio in Nashville. When he was going to be on the road, he recorded the shows in advance, and they were played on the air. This is from one of those recordings.
I love all Hank's songs. Such a big catalog for Such a short life
I haven't heard this one in a long time. There's just something about that classic country that speaks to me. It takes me back to when I was younger and my mom was alive. One of the radio stations about an hour away would play classic country every Sunday night until midnight. We'd just sit in the living room listening to that station. I went to bed many a night listening to that station. I was sad when I went to college and found out they quit doing that. I was introduced to so many great songs that you never hear anymore. My favorite one ended up being "Tennessee Stud".
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine and a womans lies make a life like mine... OMG what a line
I'll never get out of this world alive, is right up there with his other hits.
Hank is in three Hall of Fames, Country, Song Writers and The Rock Hall of Fame because of "move it on Over" and several others. There is also a Star on the Sidewalk dedicated to Hank. The man was the First Super Star. He died at 29 years old and had written and recorded 100's of songs and had a notebook with many more unfinished. Many of them were finished thanks to Sony records and a Lucky female janitor. Sony gave them to Bob Dylan and Bob finished some and passed the notebook around, a complete album came from it.
Hank Junior has become ever more prolific than his dad. He also did 20 years of "Are you ready for some Football"? Hank III is Jr's son, and he has some real good music, just be careful because of some bad words the kids would get slapped on the butt for! He has done some of his grand dad's music and looks and sounds just like him. The last half of the shows were Pantera type music. His show were always four hours long. Some old complete country and equal time for the other types. He did Honky-tonks' and many smaller venues. The bad language kept it off of the radio except for the college stations. I still loved it! Anything by any of them including Hank 4 is good and keeps the "Family Tradition" Alive.
The Amelas One
"Hey Good Lookin". Seems like I've known that song for my whole life, but it wasn't until 2004 that I learned it was a Hank Williams song. He wrote "Good Lookin" before I was born and I'm 71 years old.
This tune was around 1949 or 1950 if I remember correctly, not one of his best known but one of his best, and I've been listening to old Hank since I was a little kid. Amazing!
Another excellent story teller was Johnny Horton. "Whispering Pines", Battle of New Orleans" "Sink the Bismark" North to Alaska" and "Johnny Reb" just to name a few
I am an Okie too! My dad always played Hank.
Remember in 1949 a lot of people only had a radio my family didn't get a tv till 1953, we would sit around on Saturday evening and listen to country music.
Ill never get out of this world alive. This is a must if your going to go down this rabbit whole ❤
One of my most favorite Hank Williams songs (the hillbilly Shakespeare)❤ this one came out in 1949.
Amber & Jay, Lost Highway was originally written and recorded by blind country singer Leon Payne, and released in October 1948. The Hank Williams cover of this song was released September 9, 1949.
Another one you should check out by Hank Williams Sr and Hank Williams Jr called There's A Tear In My Beer.
Hank is probably the best snger in country music history imo.
This was my Daddy's favorite song. Pickers used to come to our house on Saturday nights and we always asked them to play The lost Highway
Thank you for this song J and Amber.
In my younger days it was only rock and roll for me but now that I'm up in years I'm loving on the country God bless you folks!
For more oldies, there were more Hanks: Hank Lachlan, Hank Snow, Hank Thompson. Also favorites of mine are Ray Price, Webb Pierce, and Roy Rogers was a founding member of the Sons of the Pioneers. You might like Hank Thompson “Wild Side of Life” and Kitty Wells answering song “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”. Ernest Tubb, Roy Drusky, Eddy Arnold, Lefty Frizzell, Marty Robbins, oh my gosh, so many over the years! The Statler Brothers, first with Lew DeWitt, then with Jimmy Fortune after Lew had to quit, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, etc. Being 81 in 3 weeks, I’ve been SO FORTUNATE to live during so many great music times, not only Country, but Rock & Roll and Pop, too 🤩. 2 May 2024, Wittmann, AZ You kids enjoy learning! 😊
This one made my day! I’ve seen a bunch of suggestions in the comments, but didn’t see his song “Settin’ the Woods on Fire;” that is my absolute favorite Hank Williams song, so fun to sing along to!
I love Hank Sr's Music. When Hank Jr started, he sang his daddy's music and didn't care for it. But, when Hank Jr found his own music, I loved it. Have you ever covered Boxcar Willie?
You guys like Hank Senior. I have been asking for 2 years to react to Hank’s idol and the true Father of Country Music- Jimmie Rodgers- the blue Yodeler.
Be sure to react to the 1920’s Jimmie Rodgers not to the 1950’s Jimmy Rodgers. Both were massive stars and worth checking out
Hank was a great story teller. A few songs others havdn't mentioned: Wedding Bells, My Son Calls Another Man Daddy, The Old Log Train (a song dedicated to his father).
My favorite song by Hank is I Saw the Light. It's a gospel song. You'll love it.
One of Hank's contemporaries in the 40s was Merle Travis, who sang the original "Sixteen Tons" and other hits.
On the female side, how about Wanda Jackson, who had a successful career straddling the line between country and rock in the 50s and 60s, which made her unique.
The King of Country. You can't do better.
definition of irony: there's a scene on the Blues Brothers movie where they play "both kinds" of music, country and western. But Hank Williams wrote one of the most successful blues songs ever, Move It On Over
Hank was the first Country Superstar. I have an old 2 CD set of his music. His songwriting was what made him. He was way ahead of his time. In a business where most do not write their own songs, he managed to stand out as a performer and writer. He's a legend. Obviously his music is dated and limited by the technology of the time, but his words are profound and stand up in any era.
I’ve been waiting for this one. I’m not really a Country music fan. More Metal and Rock but there is something about Hank that resonates with me.
I would like to suggest another great song by Hank's legendary son,Hank Williams Jr;a song called "Young Country".You guys will recognize and appreciate the names that are mentioned in the song. The song PERFECTLY captures the SPIRIT of your musical journey and the SPIRIT of this channel. I think that you guys will love it and will totally relate to it.
One of the few songs Hank Williams didn’t write; recorded in 1949; song written by Leon Payne, who was blind. Hank Williams died in 1953; only 29 years old!
You should check out the singing brakeman Jimmy Rodgers the guy that Hank emulated the first country star from the 30s check out t for Texas and will hear where Hank came from
My favorite country singer. ❤️❤️❤️ my favorite song is Lovesick Blues.
Hank was the original outlaw going back to when he was fired from The Grand Old Opry.
Hank Williams, Jr. mentions this song from his dad on his own song All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down. That would also be a great song to react to.
Hank Williams recorded songs with moral messages under the name Luke the Drifter so they wouldn't hurt his honky tonk image. This is one of them. I recommend you listen to Lovesick Blues or Honky Tonk Blues for some great yodeling. No one does it like Hank Williams. To hear his sense of humor, listen to Move It On Over about sleeping in the dog house. If you want to cry, try I Dreamed About Mama Last Night. Did you realize that Hank Williams died at age 29. He influenced music for the next 70 years even though he only recorded for a few years.
Hank Williams didn't just write songs; they were cautionary tales that still hold true today! Y'all should check out "Old Dogs" by Waylon Jennings, Mel Tillis, Bobby Bare & Jerry Reid. You'll get a chuckle out of it!
This is my favorite by Hank
Emmylou Harris wrote a song giving tribute to several influences of hers titled "Raise the Dead". In it she mentions Hank Williams, Sam Cooke, Bill Monroe & Robert Johnson.
It was released on the 1999 album, Western Wall (The Tuscon Session) which she and Linda Ronstadt released together. Great album. I think youll love the fast-paced song and appreciate the lyrics especially.
❤
It’s hard to believe he accomplished so much in the short time he was alive. He was only 29 years old when he died. He also used the name Luke the Drifter for a lot of his songs.
Of the songs of his that you have done on this channel, this one is my favorite
Hank’s original recording of ‘Lost Highway” was made in 1949
You're absolutely Right, this song I believe came out in the early 50s
"All For The Love If A Girl "Johnny Horton and also "Move It Over "Hank Williams
I wish someone would react to his song, "Lonesome Blue".
Unique vocals on that track.
My mother was married to Hank senior's 1st cousin for about a year and i have a half brother that's 2nd cousin to Hank Jr
This is my favorite Hank Sr. Song
Hank Williams is THE original. You had bluegrass and mouintain music. Hank Williams took the music and made his own mixed with blues and there you have the "birth" of country music. If you listen to George Strait, Alan Jackson and the traditional singers and writers their DNA comes directly from Hank Williams. You can imagine seeing George Jones or some other singer sitting in his bedroom as a kid and hearing Hank Williams.
Interesting thing about that song is he wrote it when his son Hank jr was a year old as a future warning to him if he ever followed his footsteps
How can you mention great story tellers without one of if not the greatest country western story teller of all time, Marty Robbins.
