    The instrument in question is called a "pedal steel guitar". The pedal steel guitar is a console-type of steel guitar with pedals and knee levers that change the pitch of certain strings to enable playing more varied and complex music than any previous steel guitar design. Like all steel guitars, it can play unlimited glissandi (sliding notes) and deep vibrati-characteristics it shares with the human voice. Pedal steel is most commonly associated with American country music and Hawaiian music.

    • @MrWhit30
      @MrWhit30 2 года назад +48

      Actually that one doesnt have pedals and knee levers, Hanks band used the more primitive table top steel. Basically a lap steel with legs, sometimes with multiple necks. Notice he is standing up so no pedals or knee levers in use. Pedal Steels would come into use very soon after this though.

      Not a pedal steel. He'd have to be sitting to use the knee levers and pedals. And is used in country music mostly, but has been used in other music genres on some songs. If you want to hear some great pedal steel, check out Buddy Emmons!

      Hank Sr died in what could be called squalid conditions at age TWENTY-NINE! He had a back ailment most of his life and was prescribed pain pills that didn't quite do the job, so Hank supplemented them with alcohol. He died in the back seat of a car at a food stop while on the way to a concert; cause of death was the bad mix of the pills and the booze.

      Hank's songs were from his heart, simple and basic, but it reached into the soul of many in his time and others growing up afterwards. I think he passed away in 1952 or '53, but I was born in 1952 and grew up hearing him. Hank Jr is a classic in his own way, love his voice and music but his father, Hank Sr' s songs touched me in my earlier life. He's a classic.

      Called the hillbilly Shakespeare during his lifetime. His poetic and deeply emotional songs are classics. He worked hard getting them down just right. When he sang songs written by others he made them into Hank Williams songs as well. “Once dear I thought I knew the way. That was before old sad yesterday. The words that you told me cut like a knife. Now I’m lost on the River, the River of life. “

    Move On Over and Jambalaya are great ones!! Hank playing electric guitar was a big deal back then, he was banned from the Grand Ole Opry for a while. This helped Rockabilly become a thing, which morphed with Rhythm & Blues to become rock. The only real difference between Rock and R&B is the lead instrument and color of the singer’s skin. Steel pedal guitar was used in country a lot, it originated in Hawaii!!

    Hank Williams is pretty much the GOAT when it came to bringing country to the mainstream in his short life/career. And this song was covered by crooner Tony Bennet a year or so after Hank released it and it became a huge cross over pop hit. That's part of why he was joking at the beginning of this clip about how this song bought the band a lot of beans and biscuits. Maybe check out Tony Bennet's version just to contrast to this version?

    That instrument is called a steel guitar. It uses a slide on one finger to press the strings. Hank led a very tragic life, due to being born with spina bifida. He died when his son Hank Jr aka Bocephus, was 3 yrs old, on New Years 1953 after midnight. Currently his Grandson, Hank III is also a country star. By the way, Hank Jr got the nickname Bocephus from his dad. Go back and watch A Country Boy Can Survive again and look at the neck of his guitar.

      Settin' the Woods on Fire was written when the guys were driving to another venue. They stopped and had chili for dinner and it gave Hank diahrea. He got the driver to pull over and ran into the woods. A song was born! 🤣

    That vocal inflection he does is called a tear, like tearing paper, but it's your voice. The unusual sounding instrument is a pedal steel guitar, very popular in country music. Hank's guitar is legendary and is still in use today. Another musician who values the worth of what came before owns it and uses it, Neil Young has it and as a commemorative, even took it back to the old Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Old Opry, and played the very spot where Hank had stood decades before.
    Sadly your take on Junior growing up at daddy's knee is not quite how it went. Hank Sr. was addicted to booze and pills. He was in constant pain and life on the road didn't help and Senior died on the road when Junior was still young. There is a third Hank Williams. His grandson has a career and sounds very much like Senior.

      Hank Williams III does indeed sound a lot like Hank Williams, Sr.. If you get the opportunity to do so, I would like to see the both of you react to his song, "Whiskey, Weed, And Women". It makes me cry every time I listen to it.

    About 30 years ago I gave my mom a boxed record set of Hank Williams music. She was the right age for his music, although she’d never heard of him until she moved to this country; I was the right age to appreciate what I was hearing for the first time.
    He was a poet of legendary proportions, and I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves from current country acts, for his storytelling powers.

    Actually Hank SR died when Hank was 3 years old, Hank Jr's mother was the one that kept his father's music alive for him. She also forced him to do his daddy's music through his teenage years. Until Hank JR did his own style as an adult. The Hank jr story is pretty amazing.
