    Pass the magic of this song by introducing it to your church choir. Can you imagine having 10 to 20 people singing this every Sunday morning? I remember in my youth, the entire church sang this every Sunday. It was an experience to remember for the entire week. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    I read that Minnie Pearl the queen of country comedy said that Hank Sr. sang this to her once and it was so beautiful it brought tears to her eyes. She asked him 'Why don't you sing like that to everyone?' and he told her that people only wanted to hear what they were used to. Can you imagine it better that this?

    This is one reason he's the greatest pioneer of county music. My grandfather and father loved this song, as do I. He may have had his demons but was a true believer. Since being born with spina bifida he was in constant pain that drove him to self-medicate with drugs and booze. He passed away at 29 while riding in the back of a car and is buried in Mongomery, AL. Check out "Midnight in Mongomery" by Alan Jackson.

    When Hank was getting started he would stop at local fairs and try to get a gig singing. Most venues knew who he was and knew he sang a lot of beer drinking and honkytonk songs and wouldn't allow him in because they wanted a family values atmosphere. So hank wrote this song so he could play the family venues. Little did he know that it would become one of the most recognizable hymns ever.

    "Lone Gone Lonesome Blues" is one of my favorites by him. He does his unique and signature "moan," yodel, or whatever the technique is called. I think it's fun to sing, if you can imitate it.
    He sings it live in an audio recording of one of his concert shows uploaded on RUclips.

    Legendary Country Music Pioneer Hank Williams, Sr....Your Cheatin' Heart, Hey Good Lookin', Jambalaya, Move It On Over...the list goes on. 55 singles in the top 10 (5 posthumously), 12 #1 singles, died at only 29 years old...but, not before giving us Hank Williams, Jr., who is also a Country Music Legend with a different sound. Hank III sounds a lot like his grandfather. Personally, I think that's intentional and not just inherited.

    In one of his two appearances on TV, he and a whole group of old country legends sang this together. He sang the second verse solo in that appearance.
    There's an 8½ minute video compilation of all of his TV appearances/performances. The compilation video is labeled "Hank Williams-Kate Smith Shows March & April 1952" uploaded by Earl Martin.
    It's the highest quality video I've seen of all his live performances. Those shows were about 8 months before he passed. June Carter, Johnny Cash's future wife can be seen in that compilation when she introduces a duet that's being sung by Hank and her sister.
    Wish we had more videos of him.. There's also an audio recording of him doing an all day show in Philadelphia, I think. It's roughly a half hour of recording, but you can hear him interacting with the crowd a little in between songs. I think that was a few months before his death. The only recording of one of his live shows..
    That and his raw live performances was surreal for me to watch and listen to, because I grew up on his music, and only saw pictures of him. So in my mind, I perceived him to be almost like a mythical legend. Especially since he almost predates every other legend in the genre.. Those videos made him seem more real to me.. If I had to compare an example of that experience to someone, I'd say it would probably be similar to how someone else would feel if they seen video and audio of Abraham Lincoln. It's difficult to imagine.

    He recorded songs with a social consciousness. The record company wouldn't release them because they didn't think they would sell. After fighting with the record company they finally released them under the name Luke The Drifter. Watch a video called men with broken hearts. It a song about homelessness. The video is modern, but the song is very deep and still resonates.

    Hank sang under the pseudonym Luke The Drifter for all of his gospel songs. Back in the 40's and 50's record companies would install jukeboxes in honky tonks & bars. The requirement of having them was that they had to use their artists records when they came out with a new 45. Can you imagine, you're sitting in a bar & all of a sudden this song comes on, would kind of kill you buzz huh? The albums were released with his name on them after his death.
