My great uncle was an Opry member, and actually got to meet Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings back when I was 4. I still remember it to this day because Waylon grabbed me up with one arm pinched me on the cheeks and told me to stay spunky for the rest of my life and I might just make it one day.
Great video of a great song done by two great singers. For those of you bashing Hank Jr., all I have to say is get real. Hank Williams Jr. is one of the greatest artists to grace country music, and has far outdone his illustrious father in both singing and songwriting. Go pick up a copy of "The New South" or "Habits Old and New," and you'll see what I'm talking about. Get over your narrow minded view of what country music should be and broaden your horizons a bit.
Oh yeah, and Johnny Cash and June Carter were one of the most famous celebrity couples of all time, and he was married to her from 1968 until her death in 2003. He died four months later. They had a son named John Carter Cash.
i agree completely that country will outlast what you call "funky" music, but don't try to single it out as the best music there is...there is music that has been around a lot longer and country music isnt american for a start
I think it's just a concert at the Ryman. I noticed daylight shining through the stained glass windows, so I don't think it's an Opry performance. Also, notice the mic stands. That backdrop is almost always there, no matter what show is going on. Sometimes you'll see it covered up or darkened.
Do anyone of you actually know about kaw-liga? I live 20 miles from the spot that inspired hank to write this song. Its on Lake Martin in Tallapoosa County Alabama. Hank was locked up in the local jail here for public intoxication and wrote this song while in jail. Peace
this song was written about a bridge in my hometown of alexander city alabama and the way hank sr wrote the song was he got arrested on the kawliga bridge for dui and wrote it in his cell
Man, why did someone thumb down my comment. Didn't mean it could ever beat Hank. The upbeat isn't why I said it was easier. I thought Hank's version was great but his voice get's too high. But no one can ever remake most of Hank's songs. This is just one of the few. Example: I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. Johnny Cash remade it. Horrible! It's a pure Hank Williams song and Move it On Over is one of my favorite Hank Williams songs. Pretty up beat too. :P lol. Did not mean that in an offensive way.
i just turned down my hank willams album to lisson to this and it was this song .lol wiled. i like hank williams seniro better but hes pritty good. cash rocked it
Imagine this song trying to get released and played in today's market. It would be deemed "Politically Incorrect" and we would have lost a great classic country song. Not to mention the fact that if either of these great artist tried to start a career in today's market, I'm sure they would be overlooked for someone more like Rascal Flatts (ugh).
They did a very impressive remake. Hank Willaims wrote good songs but his voice is so high it get's hard to listen. The Chorus was upbeat and amazing. But you still can't beat Hank Sr,
Yes there is a lot of proof to back up my facts, in fact everywhere you read about Johnny Cash, you will find that he was married to a woman named Vivian Liberto from 1954 to 1966 and had four daughters from her (singer) Rosanne Cash, Kathy Cash Tittle (I'm friends with her on facebook), Tara Cash, and Cindy Cash. Also everywhere you read, you will find out that Hank Jr was married to a woman too, and his dauther's name is Hillary Williams, and his son Hank Williams III.

Two of my favourites.... Bocephus has such a great powerful voice... Johnny is Johnny
Wow! I remember a good old Marine buddy singing this in my Barracks in Okinawa back in 1979. I hope he had a good life.I miss those days.
Johnny Cash and Hank Williams are the best country musics in the history. Thanks for the clip from Spain
Two greats in one song.
Johnny Cash and Hank Jr.
Hank Sr. did this first.
Love it!
George Vreeland Hill
COOL SONG!!
Funny thing is that Johnny Cash is kind of universal. He was loved right across the spectrum of music fans.
I don't think what I can write here can ever quite convey it's beauty.
Hank and Cash two of the best names in country..
RIP Johnny, god's speed
How badass it must have been to seen that show in person...
its actually a cigar indian made from wood like you see in front of stores

How about folks from anywhere just LOVE the music? Why does it matter where one lives? GOOD GRIEF!
this can't be so long after Hank Jr's accident? Great to see these legends play together !
Back when Jr. was cool. Too bad he became a caricature of himself. Cash never stopped being cool. Thanks for the vid!

i agree completely that country will outlast what you call "funky" music, but don't try to single it out as the best music there is...there is music that has been around a lot longer and country music isnt american for a start

Search for mini ha cha, dont think it was ever recorded, but hank sr. wrote it. It's about Kaw Ligas indian maid
This does ol Hank proud
Very very awesome video

O: awesome music
that's weird. I thought this was a Charlie Pride song too. Brought back lots of memories. Cool.
I believe Hank Jr's song's will be the same way Famous after his death
Bravo, thank you all...
I think it's just a concert at the Ryman. I noticed daylight shining through the stained glass windows, so I don't think it's an Opry performance. Also, notice the mic stands. That backdrop is almost always there, no matter what show is going on. Sometimes you'll see it covered up or darkened.
I rank the versions like this : Johnny + Hank Jr #1, Hank Sr. #2, Hank Jr by himself #3
miss johnny RIP
wenn die 2 das singen klingt das total gut. super song.
Do anyone of you actually know about kaw-liga? I live 20 miles from the spot that inspired hank to write this song. Its on Lake Martin in Tallapoosa County Alabama. Hank was locked up in the local jail here for public intoxication and wrote this song while in jail. Peace
cause his heart was made of knotty pine sweet song
this song was written about a bridge in my hometown of alexander city alabama and the way hank sr wrote the song was he got arrested on the kawliga bridge for dui and wrote it in his cell
I am impressed that Johnny actually has better stage presence than Hank in this vid!
Man, why did someone thumb down my comment. Didn't mean it could ever beat Hank. The upbeat isn't why I said it was easier. I thought Hank's version was great but his voice get's too high.

amen to that
Good version!
Charley Pride has done agood version too!
Bad ass ol Hank jr and Cash in their prime they just don't make em like that anymore (besides Jamey J )
i just turned down my hank willams album to lisson to this and it was this song .lol wiled. i like hank williams seniro better but hes pritty good. cash rocked it
Johnny Cash looks like he's going about 200 mph if you catch my drift.
Funny note - My first thought was "Cell... they didn't have cell phones back then!!" :)
I think Hank Jr had a cold when this was recorded.
Props to Grand Ole Opry - you can hear everything!
This song makes me cry if i'm along he never got his woman
Correct Stan!
Amen..
if its on the grand ol opre, its alrite with me!
the rythym for the versus is Dm and Am
classic
Imagine this song trying to get released and played in today's market. It would be deemed "Politically Incorrect" and we would have lost a great classic country song.

facebook sent me here !!
Cash & Hank! Does it get more country? :)
and oh yeah i met jonny were close frinds
Hehe. JRC wasn't excactly unfamiliar with questionable substances himself.
Anyway: Great stuff.
Hello, that;s JUST MY POINT!!
They did a very impressive remake. Hank Willaims wrote good songs but his voice is so high it get's hard to listen. The Chorus was upbeat and amazing. But you still can't beat Hank Sr,
AMEN. Kid Rock never sang any real country but he acts like he does.
thx...
@LEVENTOPOULO, JR. MAKES SR. LOOK LIKE A SHARECROPPER
Cool song,Id love to see The video for Residents version
@equinox627 Amen, bro. And now let us lean back and listen to the graet gay music of John and Hank.
Yes there is a lot of proof to back up my facts, in fact everywhere you read about Johnny Cash, you will find that he was married to a woman named Vivian Liberto from 1954 to 1966 and had four daughters from her (singer) Rosanne Cash, Kathy Cash Tittle (I'm friends with her on facebook), Tara Cash, and Cindy Cash.
