He sounds like that for the first set to pay the bills for the weird 2nd set when the old folks decide it’s time to go home and the room is suddenly all crust punks and tweakers
I've just listened to all three versions of this song done by the Williams men. Every one is unique, has it's own merits. It's a good song and it's great to watch the generations all give it due, respecting what came before while embracing their own style. *That's* a Family Tradition.
I used to listen to the original Hank when I was a little kid, hearing Hank3 and his catalogue which is even better all these years later has been a blessing, when I put music on this man is right at the top,his band is incredible 🔥🤟
Just like his Grandpa, They couldn't hold him down either. He just didn't live to carry on. But, thankfully, old Hank Sr. had strong genes and amazingly now when country music is about to boom again... Here is Hank! See, God Is a Country music lover. This is proof.
✨🇺🇸 Hank III is an awesome musician, his stage presence & magnificent voice is amazing. ✨ The first time I watched this, I cried, he sounds just like his grandfather, I cried again. I must have watched this 20 times. ✨ I wish Hank III would do an album & performances of all of his grandfather's songs, it would be so important for him & his grandfather's Fans. Please Hank, do an album & perform these legendary & historic songs for America! We need this!
Glen I saw I Saw The Light with my Dad in April and even though some folks say Tom Hiddleston sucked at the part of Hank, I think it's a great movie. If you're a Hank Williams fan like me, then this is the movie for you.
Craig Haylett The sad thing is that Hank III is not a good actor and that he's too old to do the part of his grandpa. Besides, he hated Tom Hiddleston's performance in the movie.
is it just me or does he sound just like hiram and not randall?? heck I thought hiram had came back from his grave in Montgomery, al when I heard this!!
i have grown up listening to hank sr, hank jr, johnny, waylon, merle, but i LOVE LOVE LOVE how hank III sounds so much like his grandpa. its crazy! although the music is a lil different than 1950 still makes me happy!
Fun song! Why compare? Its just fun to hear and watch them perform it live. Glad to see that the guy (HW III) values what came before and that he's keepin' it alive in the family! Thanks for posting it! :D
They are all 3 good in their own ways, Hank II is more rocky and has the best voice, but he had to get out from his father's shadow before he could succeed in his own way. Hank III is more like Hank I in voice, but he has to do his music in his own way....
why cant they all 3 be good in their own right.I like each of them for the differences they display, it just happens they were related but on their own each could have made a career.
Exactly right! All three Hanks are amazing talents going against the country music establishment in their own respective generations. Jr. and III both started out trying to impersonate Sr., neither one made it until they branched out and did their own thing.
Ben Williams Im not sure Hank III will ever be a real huge commercial success... I think he cares too much about his own integrity to compromise.... but yeah I think that there's a family resemblance and tradition and they each pay respect to what came before but botht of the yonger Hanks want to do their own work....
@mansport12ga Cause that aint who he is...he could be a "big star" like his pops once was, but that would mean doing things "their way" and not his way. Basically, he will never sell out.
Wow!! You can tell he's related to the late great Hank Williams Sr.! I like his rendition of this old classic song than Hank Williams Jr.'s. Gave me chills. I could close my eyes and see his grandfather on the stage performing this song. Thanks for uploading this video.
I'm not a country fan ( don't bite my head off here folks ) But Even I'm Impressed by hank III it's like his grandpa all over again.the looks and the awesome voice hank iii you'll make it as far as you're willing to go good luck to you man. keep rocking out anyway you want too Just like grandpa did. congradulations on the career.
Everyone is asking, Why Is He not ruling Country Music Right now? I will tell you. There are some powerful people in Nashville that cant hold a candle to this guy and others like him...Shooter, Jamie Johnson and The Van Zant Brothers. I can also tell you that they cant hold them back any longer. REAL COUNTRY is back. Kid Rock knows it. Wait and see. Hank III is going to hit it big. Real big.
I just listened to Hank III's version (this one), and then I went and listened to Senior's versions, and now I'm listening to III again. And honestly? Hank III did a great job here, really - he's almost a dead ringer for his grandfather. Now Hank Jr's cover? That's a joke.
dave miller reason why is Hank Jr, wanted to do his own music with his own style. All his young life his mother kept pushing him to sing only his daddy's music. He felt as though he was living under his father's shadow, and Bocephus wanted to be his own man. Hank 3rd is a real badass with his music. He not only sings his grandfather's songs or his Daddy's songs, he also plays his own music with his style. True, he sounds just like his grandfather, but with a bit higher octane.
@colasweet1 EXACTLY! people always get offended when a country person goes metal, but it's a whole different kind of picking, singing, and writing...it's like having another skill set... so yeah, GOD Shelton, way to be TOOOOOOO talented!
I like Hank III ..not so much his heavy metal punk stuff as much.. but his man got a HUGE hertiage. he pay's an honest and wonderful tribute to his beloved granddad maybe because he looks and sounds so much like Hank Williams.. Jr. he's a big ol' boy probably took alot from his momma. but Shelton is the Spitting imagine and has the same familar twang in his voice has SR. that Jr. just didnt have after be was a teenager. i think it's great. Hank would be proud
I'm pretty sure he's playing Johnny Cash's guitar here. I like all of Hank III's stuff, just would like to hear him create more classic country like a few of his songs are playing off of because his actual singing voice is freakin gold. He likes the screaming demon grunting stuff a little more than I'm into though.
YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE! hahaha no I respect your opinion seriously but I do believe no one after Hank Senior would have a career in country music if he never was around Hank Is The Best and his Grandson does a damn good job of keeping that alive
That's too bad that you feel that way, his studio recordings are really great songs. Out of all of the albums he's recorded and released he sounds nothing like Hank Sr. nor does he cover his songs, except for Long Gone Daddy and maybe one or two others. ALL of his songs are distinctly his style and sound. I also believe that he and his Grandfather sound nothing alike, yet that attracts fans' liking for Hank III because his music is so appealing and exclusively Hank the third.
Holy God!!! You would swear it's Hank Sr. singing!!! That man will never be dead as long as this boy is alive!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Right he sounds just like his grandpa way more then he sounds like his dad or more then his dad sound like his dad lol
its scary how close he sounds to his grandfather.
David Howe looks like the man too!
It's pretty cool tho
I got chills
He sounds like that for the first set to pay the bills for the weird 2nd set when the old folks decide it’s time to go home and the room is suddenly all crust punks and tweakers
Yap he sounds good
I've just listened to all three versions of this song done by the Williams men. Every one is unique, has it's own merits. It's a good song and it's great to watch the generations all give it due, respecting what came before while embracing their own style. *That's* a Family Tradition.
Jr. Is a 🤡
We're looking at the ghost of Hank Williams.
mountainaire for sure
Its amazing. Senior would be proud.
Just needs to be singing Your Cheatin' Heart again.
Honestly, looks and sounds more like him than Hank jr
Sure are!
sounds just like his grand pappy
This is Hank Williams Reborned as Hank 3
I used to listen to the original Hank when I was a little kid, hearing Hank3 and his catalogue which is even better all these years later has been a blessing, when I put music on this man is right at the top,his band is incredible 🔥🤟
Granpa Hank would be proud!
I’ve always loved Hank lll music!! He sounds just like his Grandpa, Hank SR!!
I've been in that crowd. I've felt that chill up my neck
boy he sounds just like his grand daddy . its kinda eerie. hank senior sure would be proud .
I love it!Your grandpa would be proud.My dad used to listen to this and ride me around with him to the bars when I was a kid.
Just as great as Sr's vertion, takes me back many a moon! Still love it.
Awesome! Sounds so much like Senior. I love that old school base!
lil like his Father, but much like his grandfather Hank Williams..... i think ;)
karri tolvanen gramps clone
Not to mention the steel guitar, something sadly all too often missing from modern country music
Just like his Grandpa, They couldn't hold him down either. He just didn't live to carry on. But, thankfully, old Hank Sr. had strong genes and amazingly now when country music is about to boom again... Here is Hank! See, God Is a Country music lover. This is proof.
✨🇺🇸 Hank III is an awesome musician, his stage presence & magnificent voice is amazing.
✨ The first time I watched this, I cried, he sounds just like his grandfather, I cried again. I must have watched this 20 times.
✨ I wish Hank III would do an album & performances of all of his grandfather's songs, it would be so important for him & his grandfather's Fans.
Please Hank, do an album & perform these legendary & historic songs for America! We need this!
A ghost...
a legend, reborn in our time !
Sr... He stands before us...!
just watched "I Saw the Light". I almost wish Hank III could act and had played Sr. himself.
+freedomguy80 He can act. They didn't even consult him about the movie, much less offer him the part.
Any good?
Glen I saw I Saw The Light with my Dad in April and even though some folks say Tom Hiddleston sucked at the part of Hank, I think it's a great movie. If you're a Hank Williams fan like me, then this is the movie for you.
freedomguy80 it was a good movie but it would have been better if they had Hank III play as Sr
I'd liek to see it, even if it is not good. but it wasn't on for long.. in the UK
Hank III should have played Hank Sr! ! !
Craig Haylett The sad thing is that Hank III is not a good actor and that he's too old to do the part of his grandpa. Besides, he hated Tom Hiddleston's performance in the movie.
we Louisiana country boys can survive and sing!stand tall and be proud of our roots !
That's some badass fiddle right there. ROCK ON!
Austin O'Dallas MN
Wow! He sounds just like his granddaddy! That is impressive!
I am actually in tears.
is it just me or does he sound just like hiram and not randall?? heck I thought hiram had came back from his grave in Montgomery, al when I heard this!!
He looks so much like his Grandpa it's spooky!!!

The looks the sound. Incredible. Love me some Hank lii
I love you Hank
SITTING HERE CRYING MY EYES OUT, ITS REINCARNATION TIME. HOW LUCKY ARE WE TO HEAR THIS MAGNIFICENCE

Wow! LOVE this, you best be back to singing young man, you need to come out of hiding and start doing some big concerts!!!
i have grown up listening to hank sr, hank jr, johnny, waylon, merle, but i LOVE LOVE LOVE how hank III sounds so much like his grandpa. its crazy! although the music is a lil different than 1950 still makes me happy!
Fun song! Why compare? Its just fun to hear and watch them perform it live. Glad to see that the guy (HW III) values what came before and that he's keepin' it alive in the family! Thanks for posting it! :D
I love that he's keeping real country alive.
Sheesh I got chills from this. Like watching a ghost.
Authentic Country Music here.
They are all 3 good in their own ways, Hank II is more rocky and has the best voice, but he had to get out from his father's shadow before he could succeed in his own way. Hank III is more like Hank I in voice, but he has to do his music in his own way....
I love Fiddleboy. He is irreplaceable. Such a awesome cool nice super talented guy. He was amazing on the country and assjack set
fuckin aye....good goddamn version.Shelton is a fuckin badass.
Hot Damn, Sorry junior you never played it this good!!! Damn 3. Grandpa is mighty proud. Keep the F word. F ol rapper Hank.

Haunting performance, just like his grand daddy! Great job, great voice!
why cant they all 3 be good in their own right.I like each of them for the differences they display, it just happens they were related but on their own each could have made a career.

holy shit, this is perfect
One of my all time favourite songs...
Its insane how he sounds just like his grandpa
Wish i would've been 21 back in '01. I'm frequently at the Vogue.
How much of Hank Sr.'s stuff does he do ? He could bring the legend to this generation.
Yes! I wish he would do all of his grandfather's music! Make an entire album with videos, so important for America! I was crying too!
i get the chills from this song
@mansport12ga Cause that aint who he is...he could be a "big star" like his pops once was, but that would mean doing things "their way" and not his way. Basically, he will never sell out.

i love all 3 Hanks, and this was awesome.
I do believe he is his Grandaddy's twin, Hank JR. Is super too, but Hank 3rd has won me over. Blessings go to all the William's
You All are so Wonderful!
I have subscribed to you because of your awesome Hank III videos.
I'm not a country fan ( don't bite my head off here folks ) But Even I'm Impressed by hank III it's like his grandpa all over again.the looks and the awesome voice hank iii you'll make it as far as you're willing to go good luck to you man. keep rocking out anyway you want too Just like grandpa did. congradulations on the career.
Hell yeah hank lives again a legend
Wow. Seeing and hearing a ghost. Amazing!

We love you Hank! sound like Sr!
no matter if he sing's his songs hank jr, david allen coe or hank sr that boy can get it done with his own style and do a great job every time
& Hank lives on....
He could never replace his Grandfather the Hank Sr.
my grandfathers favourite tune before he passed.
Awesome performance!
WOW.... I have a new favorite version of this song!! H3 kicked it in the ass.
Everyone is asking, Why Is He not ruling Country Music Right now? I will tell you. There are some powerful people in Nashville that cant hold a candle to this guy and others like him...Shooter, Jamie Johnson and The Van Zant Brothers. I can also tell you that they cant hold them back any longer. REAL COUNTRY is back. Kid Rock knows it. Wait and see. Hank III is going to hit it big. Real big.
❤We Love You Hank III ♥️♥️♥️
Would love to hear a studio released album with Hank||| doing just his papaws music
Omg!! where is he?? this is AWESOME !! HE IS GOOD!!
God damn he sounds just like hank sr
I just listened to Hank III's version (this one), and then I went and listened to Senior's versions, and now I'm listening to III again.
And honestly? Hank III did a great job here, really - he's almost a dead ringer for his grandfather. Now Hank Jr's cover? That's a joke.
I always liked Hank JR
They need to have IV sing this now
seems to me that III is more like I vocal-wise than II. Twangy that is. II has more of a bass sound to his voice.
IMHO.
dave miller reason why is Hank Jr, wanted to do his own music with his own style. All his young life his mother kept pushing him to sing only his daddy's music. He felt as though he was living under his father's shadow, and Bocephus wanted to be his own man.
Hank 3rd is a real badass with his music. He not only sings his grandfather's songs or his Daddy's songs, he also plays his own music with his style. True, he sounds just like his grandfather, but with a bit higher octane.
everyone always said he sounds like his grandpa and being a huge fan of both I never saw it.....Until I heard this
@colasweet1 EXACTLY! people always get offended when a country person goes metal, but it's a whole different kind of picking, singing, and writing...it's like having another skill set... so yeah, GOD Shelton, way to be TOOOOOOO talented!
Hank 3 GOAT
I like Hank III ..not so much his heavy metal punk stuff as much.. but his man got a HUGE hertiage. he pay's an honest and wonderful tribute to his beloved granddad
maybe because he looks and sounds so much like Hank Williams.. Jr. he's a big ol' boy probably took alot from his momma. but Shelton is the Spitting imagine and has the same familar twang in his voice has SR. that Jr. just didnt have after be was a teenager. i think it's great. Hank would be proud
love it
VIVA HANK I & HANK III !!!!
3 sounds more like Sr.....but Bocephus is the one I grew up on. He will always be my fav.
He sounds like SR!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure he's playing Johnny Cash's guitar here. I like all of Hank III's stuff, just would like to hear him create more classic country like a few of his songs are playing off of because his actual singing voice is freakin gold. He likes the screaming demon grunting stuff a little more than I'm into though.
This gotta be at Mountain Stage in WV it sounded very low at first
YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE!
hahaha no I respect your opinion seriously but I do believe no one after Hank Senior would have a career in country music if he never was around
Hank Is The Best and his Grandson does a damn good job of keeping that alive
Sounds a lot like his grandpa.
It really is chilling how much he sounds like his grandpa...
I was NOT sayin that Kawliga sounded like shit... I love your rendition lll.... was talkin bout the movie producers....
Damn sounds close
🖤🖤🖤
i am glad he does his granddads song the way they were ment to be done
He did it more like sr than his dad, also just realized this was a few days before 9/11
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's too bad that you feel that way, his studio recordings are really great songs. Out of all of the albums he's recorded and released he sounds nothing like Hank Sr. nor does he cover his songs, except for Long Gone Daddy and maybe one or two others.
