no matter how i struggle and strive, i'll never get outta this world alive
Pure talent!!!
My fishin’ pole’s broke, the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I’ll never get out of this world alive
Precursor to Jim Morrison’s five to one
Every genre of music should pay homage and respect to this man.
Without a doubt
What exactly has hank 3 done. Thank his Granddad
@@rowdyyates724 listen here chicken. You want some lime light in your ears, go somewheres else.
Even Hank's most popular mass appeal, bubble gum songs are so much more visceral and real than any country song played on the radio in the last 20+ years.
He was handsome like his father, his mother’s resemblance around the eyes. His two grandsons look a lot like him. Hank III can sing like him. Kudos to Jr for making his own way bc it’s never easy being a performer and a child of a legend.
My dad saw Hank at the Rio Palm Isle, Longview in 40's, I saw Jr. Tyler in 80's, now my son needs/wants to see III like a Family Tradition.
That's awesome . Elvis played the Rio in Longview too. I saw Hank 3 in Tyler about 10 or so years ago .
I saw hank 3 back in 09 and still one of the best shows I ever been to
Well, Hank IV exists now, now, so now he now he has someone else to look forward to.😍😍 Sadly, it appears Hank III is retired.
@@MsAggie78 No hes not
@@synysterguitar63 He hasn't been active for six years, with no indication of coming back.😢😢
Hank was THE King of Country Music. Hank’s song will be around 500 years from now.
You have to love the fracking accent on the narrator of this documentary.
never heard a bad Hank Williams song.
Cuz there ain't none!!!
Only hundreds and hundreds HE NEVER SANG!!
Hank could never look bad to me, Hank best singer ever was, he hurt deep inside with a whole different hurt , not really pain but hurt, there's a difference. Best singer on earth.
Pain and hurt are different? 🤔 ya know , I never thought of it but …I think you are right
When I first saw Hank Jr Jr... I thought I was starring at Hank the 1st! 😳
Yes. Minnie Pearl told Hank III he was a ghost.
Fluffy_ Kinz: a newer, country-punk-rock version.
@@xenoscoot I woonder if that's what inspired him to write Ghost to a Ghost...
@@edenblack206 It's very possible.
@@edenblack206 i just wish he would come back already
A real hell raiser . Mr Williams paved the way for all types of musical artists.
I’ve said it for years , he’s the king of rock n roll and country
Hank Williams Seniors music will live forever as long as there are folks who like good songs about everyday life RIP Hank (1923-1953).
Best ever. No one will ever come close. Closest we’ll ever have is his grandson.
He still lives every time we play his songs they say u die twice once when the soul leaves the body and again when someone says your name for the last time as long as I live hank will too
Bill Davison Wise words pal, like wise.
Yes wise words
Wulf Skal Amen brother.
Beautifully said. Hank Williams is, and forever will be, immortal.
hands down the best country artist of all time and one of the best musicians EVER. Glad his grandson is keeping his legacy (and REAL country music) alive. much love.
wesley gray Like Bocephus isn't?
umm, think you're forgetting about keith whitley there son! and as far as instruments hank jr can play 28 not just an acoustic guitar
Jesus Christ! This guy was just Latin a little respect to Hank 3 and you guys start in with comments that have nothing to son with his comment lol. Comprehension isn't for everyone I suppose.
@Jerry LeeLewis it's not about the talent. It never was.
@@danielsmit11 Keith Whitley?? Hahaha GTFO
When the wind is right, you'll hear his songs, smell Whiskey in the air. RIP Hank. The man who changed music forever.
Ray Whitt it's midnight in Montgomery. He's always singing there......chilling.
Ol' Hank's always singin' there...
This video never gets old.
Great music and great tales.
He was a master of lyrics and rhythm, very hypnotic music.
Hanks grandson...hell that's Hank ,same body looks I'm Amazed 🥰⚡⚡⚡🔥
Went on vacation to Nashville a few years ago and to my surprise the biggest attraction/star in Nashville was hank sr. Yes hank sr. Every shop you go in. Every store. Every museum. Everywhere you go its hank. Over 60 years after his death he still the biggest star in Nashville. Don't believe go there and see yourself.
It's sad how the country music machine will use his name now that he's gone, it's kind of fucked. The machine will do the exact same thing to Hank III. Mark my word. When Hank III is gone and country music has to evolve because of the "watered down bullshit" they will use III's music to sell country music. Hank III is so talented and probably one of the best song writers ever and barely anybody is celebrating that right now. III is a bonfire legend and has been since the 90s.
Hank 3 is what the Williams really are just ask his dad why hes being repressed now
So much heartache, he was only 29 when he died, DANG!!!
I can not picture anyone as cool as Hank Williams, man his clothes is gorgeously amazingly super star , he meant business... he meant show business.... legendary so cool, those white cowboy boots and suit at 4:23.... man before Elvis , ZZTop ... how many decades gone ... still the coolest to me !
Hey love all hank Williams sr.s faimly
Only Hank sr can sing his songs no one can cover them as good as he did
Hank III just called his grandma a hot firecracker
Hank 3 is the best hank in my opinion
Keep it in the family
@@GuyFromTheSouth very subjective but I personally agree
Hank died on New Years Day 1953, and I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive was only recently released at the time. It reached #1 after his death.
Cold Cold Heart is one of the best songs ever written. There's never been one better. Man he could sing and write. None better.
I'm a rolling stone
All alone and lost
For a life of sin
I have paid the cost
When I pass by
All the people say
There goes another guy
Down the Lost Highway
Just a deck of cards
And a jug of wine
And a woman's lies
Makes a life like mine
For the day we met
I went astray
Started rollin' down
That Lost Highway
Tom Petty turned me on to that song.
#bobperator
I really appreciate Johnny Hortons version of this song, as you know he married Hank's widow Billy Jean Horton and the last I heard she was alive but in a nursing home and not in the best of health!!!!!
I love that they got ray price to come out and talk
He sung his HEART out with his life and feelings in most of his songs. A country King, His blood line and his immortal music will go on and on!
What a amazing story ....I was fortunate enough to spend a little time with his grandson....what an amazing person and was such a true entertainer who sounded and looked like his grandfather.....was kind enough to take his time with just me while so many others waited in line to speak to him....was a great experience for me and lord his manager big Al was the most generous and a ball of fire.....true high light of my life ...thank you both for an amazing evening.
Artists hope to write/sing 1 or2 iconic songs in a career. Hank wrote a catalogue of gold classics in only 7 years!
The greatest country singer ever Rip Hank Williams
I have loved Hank Williams all my life. I have loved Hank3 about 13 years.
They are two sides of the same soul & talent.
When a celebrity actually meant something. Rip hank. Much love.
Nah. Celebrity has always been shit. Hank was just another asshole like you and me.
Love some Hank and some Junior and yes some 3rd!!!!
Hiram hank Williams you will never be forgotten you passed when legacy had just begin rip Hiram hank Williams your the king always n forever will in my book~I'm only sixteen and been listening to his music every since I was 8 years old..
hank jr. came to Zanesville Ohio and played my step dad cowboy was splaying on guitar underneath bandstand. with him. hank jr. came by where he was said how cowboy said like his daddy, I lived my whole life with hank sr. and country gold songs. it was shock to hear as kid hank jr. speak to my step dad that day in Zanesville Ohio. since then I barely learned few cords and had to sell my guitar for my kid needs, I taught her as much as I could about some people even my step dad.
Son of a Son . The voice lives .
KING HANK!
(Hank 3 broke the mold in the best way possible) ❌
They are my lifes blood..i see you too brother. 👊
Old school country musician's description of music clubs where the club owners/employees "had to sweep up eye-balls in the morning": "Some of them places were rough..." now THAT is OG!!
“Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry”
He makes me want to cry !
He conjures up the saddest and most beautiful images of all!
I was thinking who even comes close to elvis presley? Well hank was very close in terms of Karissa, talent and the live of the people. Elvis was a performer. Hank was that and a poet.
Who would even be third on the list?
@@tree7249 Woody Guthrie
@@Jonandbrianshow right on!
Hank was , is and always will be the greatest of all time. 2nd to none.
It’s crazy how much Hank III looks like Hank sr.
Hell Yeah!! Kinda Place where they sweep up the EyeBalls in the morning! :D I've Known those types of Joints for several years when I was younger... Hank was/is the King of HeartBreak Country. and his Boy JR. was my Country Hero... Thanx Mrs Audrey.
One of my greatest inspirations!
Can’t wait to meet Hank in the heavens
Hot damn, Hank III is a spitting image of Hank Sr.
Oh my stars his Grandson looks just like him!
Not really
Also resembles him with his voice
@JASON VOORHEES are you blind nothing alike besides a couple things
I've listened to Hank Sr since I was born, we had a great stereo before we even had a tv set!!! It was AWESOME!!!
Hank Williams and Layne Staley wow the similarity just different decades.
Hey I'm a huge hank 1,2 and 3..grew up on jr....but I know more about Layne than most..from AIC to to Mad season...The music's beyond phenomenal and for some very personal...but beyond all that what similarities do you...I'll add talent..but not quite sure other than a few minor things..but I don't everything about Hank(the basics)
Layne I know too much about...anyway don't mean to sound argumentative ..just curious
@@jonstrausbaugh9147 if you'll look into seniors background Hank one the similarities of self-destruction in there lives. Waisted talent. And overdose. Hank two is a survivor of that life style but he to had an accident that almost killed him and actually probably saved his life in the end.
what a great video I am glad I watched this, thank you for the upload!
the Scottish narrator is perfect for this for some wonderful earthy human reason. Bless ya Hank. He goes way back in my life. I was just a wee girl in a dinky podunk southern town. But he was HUGE in the house! ♥
A gift to the world. Thank you sir
7:42 Hank III dropping the truth.
Hank Williams Is my all time Favorite country music artist and songwriter. He is Amazing and has a great gift. I love all his music ;)
Heather Mollett had and was /:
Wow Heather I say the same thing
Amen to that!
Hank was part of my life sense i was born my daddy played hanks records religiously, amongst other of the time period singers but hanks the only one that put tears in my eyes and i believe if a singer can make a kid cry something's sure enough going on there thats pretty special.
They should have gotten Hank III to play him in the movie.
That would've been awesome
Right?? Damn if he doesn't look just like his Granddad!
@@chriscarter6481 sounds a lot like him also
@@Zionsol777 sound like him ,looks like him but handle has his own style
Absolutely
Shelton.... we miss you. Please come back. We miss you!
Greatest ever! Love this man!
Hank is with Jesus smiling down at us.
How you figure? Not being judgemental but theres certain things that a person has to do to get to that place and I dont believe the life Hank lived involved any of those things.
@@ericstoecker2096 it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you ask for forgiveness from the lord for your sins
He lives on through Hank 3. The definition of Rebel has changed.
Love me some Hank music.
not 1952.
he died in 1953.
i was 8 days old.
spent my whole life in love with a dead man.
Shirley Ford no one knows when he died cuz he could have died before or After Midnight of the new year
Shirley Ford I spent my whole dead inlove with a life man
Whether it was December thirty one or January one, I’m in the same boat. I was born in late February of nineteen and eighty nine and have been obsessed since I first heard that “euphorically melancholy, (if that makes any sense)” universally familiar, and beautifully haunting voice. I feel like you “can’t not” love Hank.
Shirley Ford damn that's sad girl!
Shirley Ford he did die in 52...it was not reported until Jan. 53...i was there
Never knew any of this. Thanks for sharing
Hank the best there ever was, and is to this day!!!
Best country artist of all time and if you think about it he was just a kid unbelievable
Hank 3 is so freaking good...
The king.......
Hank Sr. Is a legend will always will be. His family is also a legend ❤❤
this was great thanks !!
Jeez Hank III looks exactly like his grandfather. He's a good singer in his own right
The King of Country Hank Williams
I LOVE THE WILLIAMS FAMILY!
I was born years later I'm still devastated
Love me some Hank Sr
Great little video by the BBC.
bbc brodcast from uk london
The goat of country an rock forever
My grandma used to hang out with hank jr in Shreveport as infants in their strollers and either her mother and Audrey were friends or her grandmother .
He have a vorice out this word I was born in 1961 I ♥️all his songs I could not believe he died he had a voice and songs out this word I ♥️ him every seens I was a child and guss what I love his music today
The greatest country song writer to date-but Hank 3 is damn great to.
I covered Hank's songs whenever i could when i played acoustic shows
Gotta give yerself props weak
The greatest country singer song writer on the planet
Hank III is awesome, sure glad he’s in my generation
Hank, the original "Outlaw", known as the "which of which there is no whicher"
Hank will always be the King Arthur of Country Music. Others may be called king at some point or another, but there's only one King Arthur. To play a Hank Williams owned guitar is like wielding Excalibur
RIP HANK KING OF COUNTRY
Hank paved the way
Oh wow. How tragic. He was so young.
I love Hank Sr., Jr. ,and the 3rd
Hank Williams, Sr was proud of his Native American Heritage and never lied or hid it as some wanted him too.
Hank mentions he's part indian himself in a recording.
He didn't see anything to be ashamed of...And there wasn't.
He was simply proud of who he was and where he came from.
quit acting like you knew him personally , it's embarrassing
what recording?
look up The Cherokee Boogie. One of the videos includes him mentioning it prior to starting to sing the song.
I never heard a bad Hank Sr song either ❤ Hank III spitting image.
The greatest....
3:41 Pop superstar my ass! He was and is a Country/Western music superstar!!!
But that's what the popular music of the day was. Johnny Cash hosted 2 different tv shows. That's pop culture to me. The shame is that we allowed "diversity" to change the culture.
He was POPULAR dipshit
Do you know what pop stands for? Or what was considered pop back then?
Hank transcended country just like Bob Marley transcended reggae. He was and still is much more than just a country/western singer
Hank Williams 👍👍👍
Hank the best.
Hank Williams is the original punk rocker,he is where it all began, decades before the term was even coined,sorry elvis, sorry beatles and stones ,and dylan, and Sex Pistols, and everybody else ......
Pandora, Hank 3. 💓Add that to your cellphone and smoke it! 🤣😂
My his grandson is the spit of him to look at❤
Hank is the king
*Legend.*
