What a good looking man he was. A great voice. I wish just once before he dies, he cleans up a little and plays some of the old country music along with his newer stuff. He is so talented. I am glad he still performs
He had much damage done to his face and body in his fall on the mountain in Montana. Multiple face surgeries scars are covered by the beard. He plays the old songs of his and his dad's at his engagements and has recorded most multiple times. He's clean now except for medicinal mj.
@@steveendicott1855One of his eyes actually fell out of socket and was hanging out so the reason he wears them is because his eyes are very sensitive to light
This is not just Still In Love With You, it is a terrific mashup of his father’s most famous songs, that’s why the audience bursts into applause with each new verse. In order: You Win Again Cold, Cold Heart Still In Love With You Half As Much
Hank jr is such a great singer ,that voice sounds the world ,never be another like him !!Hank has always ben the most handsome guy ,Iloved him then ,love him more now ,Hank can sing like no other ,and play so many different instruments !!Icon Hank living legend always !!
Thanks for sharing Hank Jr. Songs with us. HEY out there Country 🎵 🎶 MUSIC SINGERS, where are you. PLEASE don't let COUNTRY MUSIC die. PLEASE step up & give us the REAL Country Music. 🎵 🎶 I LOVE COUNTY 🎵 🎶 MUSIC. 💕 💕 💕 💕
Folks who aren't familiar with Hank Jr.'s pre-outlaw work MUST get a copy of his greatest hits and listen. You can also find a lot of that music, in RUclips videos, from when he promoted the songs on Hee Haw. GOOD STUFF! Classic country music
The Essential Hank Jnr is a great one to listen to. I like a lot of his later outlaw stuff even his blues stuff , but the pre '76 stuff is my favorite. He really did some great stuff when he was just a teenager, but he was kind of feeling pressure to be a carbon copy of his father and that's not really what he wanted to be. He had to set himself apart.
are you crazy? if he would have stuck to this even though its great he would have never ever been the mega star he is today you people forget he is a 5 time entertainer of the year few can match his ticket sales to this day hank jr is equal to his dad inevery way only he got his deams beat and lived to tell it unlike hank sr
Wow! So cool Hank Jr. singing Hank Sr. I can't help it if I'm still in love with you. Cold Cold Heart and If you only loved me hals as much as I loved you. perfectly country!!! This is a great medly and I used to sing it when I was 10 years old before I even knew what the meaning of a good country song was.
He was so amazing in all his old videos in this style of music, they are all great. Man imagine a live concert if jr impersonated sr just once.. just once... i would come all the way over from ireland to see it. Dame the thought of that makes me want to be born around the hank sr era..
listen to the song Standing in the Shadows....one of Hank Jr.'s best songs from the early part of his career....plus, what do you mean he quit....he had an accident and took a few years off to recuperate....when he came back, he had a different look (due to the amount of plastic surgeries) and a different sound (he needed a change of pace, musically).
What happened to this Hank, Jr.? If he would have kept this style he would have been a good successor to the throne that is still left empty since Hank, Sr. left.
Both Hanks are great in their own right. Jr has a more projective voice than his father but his father's style of singing was great. Now when it comes to Hank III he sounds a lot like his grandfather and I had a hard time telling the two apart
Interesting to see footage like this from 1970 or thereabouts, before that terrible mountain climbing accident Bocephus had a few years later. I wonder why CMT doesn't dust off stuff like this to show instead of endless repeats of "Reba" or "Touched by an Angel".
He still does some of that...just not as much. During his acoustic set he generally breaks out at least one Sr. song, and even with the changes in his voice due to age and the Ajax Mountain incident, he can STILL sound just like his Daddy. He also does a killer J.R. Cash impersonation.
PICK ANY HANK ERA, IT DONT MATTER. PICK THIS ONE. THE MANS VOICE STANDS ABOUT 6' HIGHER THAN ANY ONE. A MIGHTY MAN, A MIGHTY SINGER ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
problem with "cleaning up" is that his face is now covered with scars and his skull is misshaped from falling off Ajax Mountain. That's why he let his hair grow out, grew the beard and always wears sunglasses.
why would you say that this is shit??? i dont get that...its not hank sr but hank jr is one of the best country music artists of all time...he didnt continue singing his dads songs...he made his own way and his own sound and he is to be respected for that....im not crazy about much of his new stuff....but his music from the '70s...holy hell that is some GOOD DAMN COUNTRY MUSIC
to all of the people commenting about how they dont like his change. He couldt be the spittin image of his father, he didnt want people just liking him for him just singin his daddys songs, he wanted to do his own style of country music, which still included his fathers twang. theres absolutely nothing wrong with that. through people leaving his concerts or people wanting more of his new style, look how far hes gotten. hes amazing, and idc what anyone says, i think he was cute back then and he still is now.
Man hank had a voice so amazing at a young age. And my opinion is that he had one of the best voices singing his daddy's song and his own that man could play the hell out of some drums and piano and guitar lol and sing the hell of this song to
Like the old Hank Williams Jr.......And I love the new Hank Williams Jr!! As a teenager of the 80s........I THANK YOU FOR SHOWING MY GENERATION HOW TO BE MEN!! God bless you Hank!!!!
thanks for posting Hank Jr. before his accident so we can see he real Hank JR. who was expected to follow in his daddy's style seems after he changed looks, he changed hi style of singing but still does tributes to his dad.... Hank the 3rd sure looks the spitting image of his granddad but is a rebel also.... " family tradition "
He changed because the idea of trying to be his daddy for his daddy's fans tormented him. He had done it since he was 8 years old. Him changing was him developing his own style and it lifted a tremendous burden off of him.
Love to hear him sing Hank Sr.'s songs. There's not a better writer than Hank Sr. and not a better singer than Hank Jr. I could listen to him sing his daddy's songs over and over.
This was long before he had his accident falling down a mountain in Montana breaking every bone in his face because he was trying to live down the image of Hank Sr that everyone one of Hanks fans wanted Jr to be. And the pressure from his mom Ms Audrey Williams.
My mother always told me that Hank Williams Jr. didn't look the same as today. She said he fell over a mountain and needed lots of surgery, because he almost died! I just stumbled across this early video, and believe me, I wouldn't have believed this to be the same guy! He was very straight laced back then, before he got rowdy for sure! I can hear his dad in his twang though!
I have lots of songs and singers save to my music list and when I start making a CD go play my favorites I always have more Hank and Hank Jr than anyone else
look I know some people have there opinions but let me tell it to all you that are saying that hank is so ugly and different remember that your an ugly person for running your mouth can't find your way in life so you are trying to put someone else down tells me exactly what you are ha ha no morals no values no one hears you Hank you look good brother and you sound like and look sharp bro
hank jr sounds like his daddy when he wants to and it is not copied. It is his birth- right,. he is the son of hank williams. and has his blood running through his veins.hank jr went through alot. and still came up on top.. THE GREAT HANK WILLIAMS JR NUFF SAID
I feel this way about a lady I met over twenty years ago and by coincidence saw her this year. Only time will tell if we meet. I have over five cds of Bocephus,but over ten sung by his father Hank Williams Sr.
Awesome performance!!!!! Alot of ppl give ole Hank Jr a hard time, but i think he's the greatest... I have afew doc video's of him talking about his Mountain accident.. He didn't loose site in his eye when it popped out of the socket... It just doesnt follow the other eye when he moves them..... kinda like they are out of time with each other.
The songs are as follows. You win again (sungs by Hank Sr), Cold cold heart, I cant help it that im still in lve with you (sung by Hank Sr and Anita Carter), i cant remember the name of the 4th song though
The song your probley thinking about Alan Jackson sings that Hank Jr did is the blues man. Yes the song Midnight in montgomrey is about hank sr. Hank jr, Waylon and Johnny cash are the best
@steventhestudent yes sir, i do agree, but hank jr should be greatful that he took from his daddy instead of his mommy. Cause audry williams couldnt sing. just search for auidry williams on u-yube and hear for yourself. And thank you for your reply. you have a great day
Never knew JR DID SUCH AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE ! IM SURE HIS FATHERS HEART IS FOREVER PROUD PRACTICALLY IDENTICAL AND ID SAY MORE POWERFUL BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE
As he grew older his own music made him greater oh he can sing on his own songs older he got the greater his voice got.
What a good looking man he was. A great voice. I wish just once before he dies, he cleans up a little and plays some of the old country music along with his newer stuff. He is so talented. I am glad he still performs

Multiple face surgeries scars are covered by the beard.

I believe he can still see out of both eyes but he wears dark glasses anyway

Its cool that you have, and posted this Great Video.
Great. His best.
Damn i am glad i saw this ,WOW Just wow

Lol LP
Some of my favorite Hank Jr songs come from before the Hank Williams Jr and friends album.
The Essential Hank Jnr is a great one to listen to.
I like a lot of his later outlaw stuff even his blues stuff , but the pre '76 stuff is my favorite.
He really did some great stuff when he was just a teenager, but he was kind of feeling pressure to be a carbon copy of his father and that's not really what he wanted to be.
He had to set himself apart.
MGM years is an awesome collection of songs.
@@TylerSnyder305 That pressure was from his Mother Audrey. She taught him at a tender age how to walk and talk and be his Dad all over again
are you crazy? if he would have stuck to this even though its great he would have never ever been the mega star he is today you people forget he is a 5 time entertainer of the year few can match his ticket sales to this day hank jr is equal to his dad inevery way only he got his deams beat and lived to tell it unlike hank sr

Standing in the shadows

Thank you for posting this. If you have anymore videoes of Hank Jr before the fall please post them.

Yes you can hear his Dad in some of his songs
10 times the singer as his old man, and twice the singer of most.
Hank Sr. was second to none in writing.
Wow he is really good at singing his dad's song bravo!!
It was a personal curse at the same time too tough.
What a performance, will I get shot for saying that is the best version of the song?:P
PICK ANY HANK ERA, IT DONT MATTER. PICK THIS ONE. THE MANS VOICE STANDS ABOUT 6' HIGHER THAN ANY ONE. A MIGHTY MAN, A MIGHTY SINGER ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
this song says it all just take me back no one will ever love you as much i love you
He can do his daddys music,then turn around & do his own,both sound great,the man,myth,& legend in classic country.
First time ever hearing this. I like him better pre-accident. I love those old Hank songs.
I agree with you 100%, but Bocephus' given name is Randall Hank Williams. Sheldon is Bocephus' son.
Wow this is so awesome didn't know he sang all of the beutiful hits of his daddy this is so awesome
problem with "cleaning up" is that his face is now covered with scars and his skull is misshaped from falling off Ajax Mountain. That's why he let his hair grow out, grew the beard and always wears sunglasses.
Yes he nose how to sang a song and he is the very very best country music singer in the world
I miss that pre-outlaw voice. This was the first album I listened to as a little boy.
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you. It was written and made famous by his father Hank Sr. They were all Hank Sr. songs.
John was the first one at the hospital when Jr fell off the mountain, that's what Hank said
why would you say that this is shit??? i dont get that...its not hank sr but hank jr is one of the best country music artists of all time...he didnt continue singing his dads songs...he made his own way and his own sound and he is to be respected for that....im not crazy about much of his new stuff....but his music from the '70s...holy hell that is some GOOD DAMN COUNTRY MUSIC

quite so, it traumatised him, having to "be his father" and it was only years later that he was able to come out of Hanks' shadwo...
Alexis Judd true I'm gald he followed his own star it made some great music.
That, and the whole "fell from a cliff that almost killed him and had/has horrible scars on his face" thing.
Man hank had a voice so amazing at a young age. And my opinion is that he had one of the best voices singing his daddy's song and his own that man could play the hell out of some drums and piano and guitar lol and sing the hell of this song to
Now I loved to here old hank a lot he was a true blue beautiful singer . BUT! HANK JR COULD BLOW HIM AWAY ....
He has a stronger more melodious voice...
Like the old Hank Williams Jr.......And I love the new Hank Williams Jr!! As a teenager of the 80s........I THANK YOU FOR SHOWING MY GENERATION HOW TO BE MEN!! God bless you Hank!!!!
DITTO
Awesome vid.
It aint Still in love with you, btw this is a Hank sr medley:P
lol he looks so weird before his outlaw country look. lol I had trouble beliving this was him
+Chris Brown Same here
+Chris Brown Same here
Me too, but not better then dad
something about him makes me think of Dan Blocke from Bonanza...
He fell off a mountain and they had to rebuild his face
thanks for posting Hank Jr. before his accident so we can see he real Hank JR. who was expected to follow in his daddy's style seems after he changed looks, he changed hi style of singing but still does tributes to his dad....

Check out his album Men with Broken Hearts, Hank Jr and Hank III sing along with some Hank Sr records, one of my favorite albums ever
To shake the hand of Johny Cash...
His voice was perfect here.
This was long before he had his accident falling down a mountain in Montana breaking every bone in his face because he was trying to live down the image of Hank Sr that everyone one of Hanks fans wanted Jr to be. And the pressure from his mom Ms Audrey Williams.

He most definitely sings better than his dad, no question.
He was trying to.. plus it was before he went deaf in one ear and blind in one eye
He is great! Love his songs,
I have lots of songs and singers save to my music list and when I start making a CD go play my favorites I always have more Hank and Hank Jr than anyone else

Looks at Sheldon looks at Randal then looks to Hiram........the uh........um.......Hiram's facial structure skipped a generation.
So great 🎤🎸 love listening ❤ H.W.Jr👍👍👍
In another life, he would have made one hell of an auctioneer.
he was a star before the mountain. this video was made before the fall.
God bless you Hank Williams and Hank jr.
Man he is awsome!!!!! deadla
I feel this way about a lady I met over twenty years ago and by coincidence saw her this year. Only time will tell if we meet. I have over five cds of Bocephus,but over ten sung by his father Hank Williams Sr.
let me quote the late great waylon jennings, Hank jr makes his daddy look like a share cropper......
@steventhestudent Excuse me, but when did he ever stop? You can find the odd Sr. track on just about every one of his albums.
Awesome performance!!!!!
Alot of ppl give ole Hank Jr a hard time, but i think he's the greatest...
I have afew doc video's of him talking about his Mountain accident..
He didn't loose site in his eye when it popped out of the socket...
It just doesnt follow the other eye when he moves them..... kinda like they are out of time with each other.
Well Done Hank Jr.
Thanks for posting that :-)
He has his own sound even here he has hints of senior but not as much as you would think
never saw him like this, pre-beard!
I LOVE THIS SONG ❤️💙🎶🤟
The songs are as follows. You win again (sungs by Hank Sr), Cold cold heart, I cant help it that im still in lve with you (sung by Hank Sr and Anita Carter), i cant remember the name of the 4th song though
Jr. woulda made it big in Nashville in the 60's even if he wasn't his daddy's boy.
Hank Jr Rocks!!!!
Love it , love the old ones
what a country singer!
That is how he looked when. I saw him in 1969 at. Wheeling. Jamboree. He was great and bvery friendly to us after show. Still like him today 2023
Still awesome
this is before he fell off the mountian
He.was.so.much.better.back.then.
Junior looks different without a hat and sunglasses on. This must have been recorded before his mountain accident.
I REALLY LIKE HIS SOUND BETTER THAN HIS DAD..A LOT RICHER AND STRONGER
I actually just commented almost exactly the same thing
Hank Jr. may be a legend, but is he as much of a legend as his father?
how old is hank jr?what new about hank 3? did talor haze do any more videos play the accordian?like he did whith hj
He is 72 this year.
Great singer x
Listen to that beautiful voice. His dad could write them, Bocephus
was the one to sing them.
Many don’t notice but JR even sang these his own way 👍
Go jr
personally, i like his early material more than his "country-rock" material.
Wrong
And this is the only time he has sung Half as Much...which is a shame his rendition rendition is amazing
The song your probley thinking about Alan Jackson sings that Hank Jr did is the blues man. Yes the song Midnight in montgomrey is about hank sr. Hank jr, Waylon and Johnny cash are the best
my daddy i'll say no more than I can be found hiden out down here............HIRUM see ya folong folks hank' comin back look out nashville
He looked very old when he was young before he had his beard. Trucky.
Hank jr at his best
@steventhestudent yes sir, i do agree, but hank jr should be greatful that he took from his daddy instead of his mommy. Cause audry williams couldnt sing. just search for auidry williams on u-yube and hear for yourself. And thank you for your reply. you have a great day
Never knew JR DID SUCH AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE ! IM SURE HIS FATHERS HEART IS FOREVER PROUD PRACTICALLY IDENTICAL AND ID SAY MORE POWERFUL BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE
This songs called you win again
The recordings I've always heard from the radio do not do justice to how good he was. What a singer and performer that was gone to soon.
I met him when I was walking home from my Mc Donald's job a d his bus was parked at the holiday Inn. I went a onboard and met him
God bless Hank senior! But Hank jr. Could sing the hell out of those songs I love listening to him singing baby songs
His shows suck but his music is good. Unless he was just stoned at mine
Its. Hanks recarnw ation
All over. Again
Incredible.... thank you
