to put it simply, he is a legend of legends. he is one of those performers whose life and work (if they arent already) is nearly mythological in its influence.
Most country singers from the 50s through the 80s will say Hank Williams was one of their influences. There have been 21 songs written about him and he has been mentioned in over 70 songs. He had a very short but powerful career.
And 2 movies.
Lots of rock icons idolize him also! Including Elvis who has a hit of a Hank song.
There is very little live footage of Hank Williams Sr. I think you will get a better idea by listening to some of the live radio shows he did. The guy was very charismatic.
Decades ago I lived and worked in Europe. I gave CD's of Hank to French, German, Italian, etc. friends. Everyone loved them. I didn't expect that. Hank is more universal than you think.
Hank Williams was one of the greatest country singers. He died January 1, 1953 at the age of 29.
Hank Williams Jr. - Family Tradition - 1982 live show, would be a great follow up to this. See how not only country music changed, but within the same family.
Just went back and rewatched the 1982 live show and it should be a amazing follow up to this video!
Hank Williams is the godfather of modern country. He wrote evocative lyrics that appealed to the common people and played and sang with all his heart. I love to hear him singing late at night when I am on my own at work. For a song to smile to, try "move it on over" or one to make you shed a tear, try "So lonesome I could cry". Love your work, mate
Another tear jerker by Hank, under his "Luke the Drifter" persona is The Funeral.). He was a true genius in the writing and performance of country Music. He is admired by performers of many different genera of music. He is the progenitor of several accomplished performers.
Hank Williams Sr had some great songs. I'd suggest:
Hey Good Lookin
Kawliga
The instrument that you were asking about is a steel guitar. It is an instrument that is common in country music. Junior Brown is a modern steel guitar player that is worth reacting to. Thanks for a fun song and some memories. For him I'd recommend "Broke down south of Dallas", a live version.
Great tune, great story, this is why we still have country music.
Hank died in my hometown on January 1, 1953 at the age of 29. He had written and sung many hits by this time.
Hank Williams Sr kinda had a similar superstar mystique about him like Elvis, but before Elvis.
The dude wrote so many hits, and made such a huge impact in such a short time. He's on my Mount Rushmore of favorite artists. You still hear his songs being used in movies like Shawshank Redemption, or video games like the Last of Us. He's a legend.
It was trippy for me to watch this raw live performance for the first time a few years ago. I was used to only seeing pictures of him, so I had almost a mythical perception of him. Imagine seeing and hearing video of someone like Abraham Lincoln. That's kinda how it felt to me when I first watched. Made him seem more real to me, and made me wish I could hop through the screen and exist in that time, and perhaps even save him from his soon impending doom.
Yeah... I'm a southern brother been tryin' to get a country yodel like Hank since I can remember. Rather than "stereotypical, this is the quintessential! Hank Sr is an OG of country music. You'd do well to familiarize yourself with his catalog. Might check in with the blues and pick up the pace simultaneously ''Long Gone Lonesome Blues" or "Loveick Blues." At the risk of repeating others, I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY may be my personal favorite of Hank's.
Keeping with the theme of quintessential country (bluegrass) check out some other OGs -- Flatt and Scruggs.
Hank Williams Sr was a unique and original artist, something rare in music anymore. He wrote and sung alot of different style songs. Everything from slow crooning songs to fast fun songs to deep meaningful songs. He also wrote one of the greatest gospel songs ever I SAW THE LIGHT a song that will have atheists clapping their thighs and tapping their feet to lol.
This is one of the greatest singers of all time!
At this time, this man was the top entertainer in the country. He was the man. For a very short time. But his legend lives on. Love some Hank and Hank Jr.
Hank Williams was the best country artist of this era. He was the inspiration for many country singers. Patsy Cline once said she wanted to be the next female Hank Williams. Try listening to Hey Good Lookin, Jumbalaya, I Can’t Help It If I’m Still In Love With You
Of all time
Thank you! Hank Sr. Is one of the original GOATs 😊 ❤ You asked for suggestions, here are my pick's: #1 all time fav is "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry". "I've Seen The Light" & "Lost Highway" are my next pics-there's a good message within. I spent the summer of '92, i think it was, with Hank's album "24 Of Hank Williams Greatest Hits" (MGM Records, 1970) on repeat. So you cant go wrong with anything off that album. (To give you a reference point, i was born in '76) I prefer to hear the album track vs live with older music like this-ive found it sounds better. But, as you know sir, you start talking about Stapleton, you know live is the way to go! ;-) Lol! It's a rare treasure to find new traditional country music these days. Alan Jackson is one of those treasures today-check out AJ's 'Where Have You Gone' (official video) it has a story to tell ;-)😊 I appreciate the respect you give the artists you react to. Even thou they may not be ur regular cup of tea, the genuine smile on ur face when u listen, tells me you have an appreciation for what it is to some folks & well, just mad respect brother!!!❤ much love, from Tenn
Hank III 'COCAINE BLUES' his grandson and a Johnny Cash cover. 🤘
"I'm so lonesome I could cry", and "I can't help it if I'm still in love with you" are must listens by him.
That's real country. What you've been hearing is country pop. You can hear Hank's vocal range in "Kaw-Liga".
The remark about the beans and biscuits is really a simple one when you look back at how these early Country and Western singers came from. ALL the best of them came up (grew up) literally dirt poor. These people lived for most to all of their lives on what could be hunted or trapped in their local woods, fished from the streams (creeks) by their homes, and grew in their gardens. What was bought from stores were the dry good staples like flour, sugar, salt, and even dried beans if they were not among what they gardened. So to ones that grew up doing serious work for any food going into the bellies of the families living 10 to 15 people in a shack with paper-thin walls and dirt poor where shoes are a luxury full bellies for everyone was a sign of the "breadwinner" being successful. So anytime they could provide many beans and biscuits was viewed as being quite a success. Summed up, he is saying that song provided him and "the boys" with many meals for them and their families.
You need to go down the Hank, sr rabbit hole. He wrote so many hit songs.
There's only a few live video performances of him, and one 30 minute audio recording of one of his all-day concerts in Pennsylvania. All recorded just months before he passed.
Country songs have always been about the lyrics. In the majority of cases, to this day, that is still true. But when comparing today's country music to these old classics from the 40s and 50s, it's important to remember that the recording technology between then and now (or even the past 50 years) is like night and day. So even when we hear a relatively simple country composition today (and, again, that includes the past 50 years) the overall "feel" of what we're absorbing from the recording is audibly superior to anything the artists had the ability to produce electronically in the past. In other words, if we could bring Hank Williams and his band (for example) back to life today and put them in a modern studio, the result would sound every bit as "contemporary" as anything being produced by any country artist today. And I have say honestly (as a long-time Hank Williams fan) Hank may not have been the best singer around but he sure was one of the VERY BEST songwriters around! That's why such a huge number of songs from his entire catalog are still covered by other artists and not just the big-time artists we hear on the radio, I'm talking about artists at jam sessions and open-mics all over the country who most people will never hear or even know exist. He had the ability to string words together that got right to the heart of the matter in a way that common folks could relate to in their own lives.
Your listening to the best and current country can’t hold a candle to
You did his song I'm so lonesome I could cry a while back.... Hank is the forerunner of all country and rock music. Shocked that you didn't get that. Please do I've just told mama goodbye by Hank!!! It's heart breaking!!!!!!! His best work but less known was under his pseudonyms "Luke the drifter"
An absolute icon. RIP Luke The Drifter.
The theme of this song is similar to the 1988 Keith Whitley hit "Don't Close Your Eyes". A current love haunted by a past one.
His son Hank, Jr. Is great too. One of Juniors is, "A Country Boy Can Survive".
When I was a kid this was "Hillbilly" music. My Dad loved it.
I highly recommend his song Lost Highway. One artist once said he believed Hank Williams’ Lost Highway & AC/DC’s Highway To Hell were different stretches of the same road.
His son Hank Williams Jr was a more contemporary-sounding country singer. You might find his A Country Boy Can Survive interesting and very different from his dad's sound. Both good. Both appealing to different generations.
Hank wrote 167 songs but only lived 29 years.
Hank Williams was a very prolific songwriter with many hits, but he had drinking problems and I believe he was taking drugs, also, for a back injury. I’m not sure how many hits he had because he wrote some under pseudonyms like Luke the Drifter. He was a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and he accomplished all this before his death from a heart attack at 29 years of age. There’ll never be another like him.
Hank Williams died from a combination of drugs and alcohol in the back seat of his Cadillac while being driven to an appearance.
@@eldorajohnson3894 Those were contributing factors, but an autopsy ruled his death was from heart failure.
@@larrywright3132 Heart failure was put on the death certificate because the bigwigs in country music did not want it known he was an addict and an alcoholic.
@@eldorajohnson3894 we’re just going to have to agree to disagree, then
PBS put out a documentary on American country music several years ago. It's worth viewing for discovering the sources, sociology, and business practices of country music through the years.
dang ol' hanks the man!
Hank Williams Jr. is his son. Country Boy Will Survive. Hank Jr. was 3 when his father passed away at the age of 29.
fascinating. like a time machine for our mind. taking us way back, here. thanks, brother. i like what your doing and how your doing it. big shoutout from just an ol longhaired, southern, rocker in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. watchin and diggin it. go w/ God. peace.
Hank basically invented country music. No other human being on earth has ever had such an impact or influence on the music industry, regardless of genre. He is considered royalty among country artists & fans. More than royalty- more like holy. More important to country music than Elvis was to rock & roll. The legend of legends.
He never invented it the Carter family are pretty much credited with that and they were doing it 20 yrs before Hank as was Jimmie Rodgers. That said he is without doubt the greatest country singer ever graced this earth.
These people are from the south, and Southerners still have an accent different from the rest of the USA. I am from the south and if you heard me talk you would notice the difference. The younger people in the south sound different than me. They have been taught to speak more proper than me
Hank Williams was hugely popular in his time.
This is amazing music! No lyrics about shootin' fools, biatches, and at that time everyone knew their place. Listen to country music before 2000, when it became pop
Another foundation singer was Jimmy Rogers.
Some say Bob Wills is the king, Hank is still king to me. Jim
I can't add to the comments already here. When you said you didn't know Hank Williams I said Oh My God.
This was my daddy's music. Nora Jones did a cover that is awesome.
I like your comments and seeing your insights. But Hank - is the cornerstone of modern country. He is the base foundation of the sounds that have evolved. As you say - genre music evolves - what people call country today - is a most commercialized version of the story telling of simple human emotions that the 30's - 50's music expressed. I was lucky enough to hear Hank on live 'am ' radio when I was about 7 years old. I didn't know who he was - but his voice and emotions touched me even then as a young kid. Now I'm 83 and still feel the emotion in his voice and words.
god this brought me back to my grandparents. i listened to this all the time growing up and know almost all the lyrics to all his songs because this is what they listened to. id highly suggest im so lonesome i could cry. its amazing. also be sure to do his studio versions. some of his live versions are good but the sound quality is a lot worse because of how old they are. It would also be hilarious to hear your take on his song Jambalaya because of all the slang i dont think you'd know.
Or another one from Hank Williams lovesick blues
this was written about Hanks first wife and that is the late great Don Helm on steel
It is a huge mistake and vastly unfair to compare an artist from the 1950's to artists in the 2020's. Hank didn't sound strange to us back then because people in the south pretty much ALL sounded like this. Television was in its infancy and very few people had TV's and we had not yet been exposed to the smooth way of talking that city slickers the likes of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley or Walter Cronkite spoke on the six o'clock news. The only news we got was from rural AM radio stations that were manned by local people who also sounded just the way we did. When we wanted to be entertained, we all gathered around the radio (and yes we pretty much stared at the radio much the way families would stare at televisions a decade or so later) and listened to music from the Opry. Roy Acuff was the man who introduced Hank and as you heard, Roy was as country as cornbread!
When you listen to Hank you also need to keep in mind that this was live and there was no sound engineer or mixer to take a track back to the studio and clean it up and run it through auto tune to make it sound better. Artists from that time simply stepped up to a mic with a few musicians backing them up and started singing and that's what went out over the air, mistakes and all, because since it was live there was no "take two".
Hank died before the age of 30 but in his short life he wrote and recorded songs that are still being played or even being covered today! The most thought-provoking song I think Hank ever recorded was "Be Careful of Stones That You Throw" and it is as timely today as it was when he wrote it 70 years ago!
have felt like this toooo
"lost highway" "lovesick blues "
Country music singers back in that time. We’re pretty much required to have a gospel album if you can track the album down otherwise Hank Williams I saw the light In my personal opinion is one of his best ones
So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank
maybe for some more exposure to this earlier time's music: Sons of the Pioneers - Cool Cool Water or Tumbling Tumbleweeds
I saw the light.hank
You do seem to be open minded and I think that is great. I will just add a couple comments here. The first is, "Country Music" is a broad topic. Just like there are big differences between the blues of New Orleans, Chicago, London, Texas, Mississippi, etc., there are also big differences between country music of different places in the US. And possibly even more than that, there are big differences between country music from 70 years ago like this Hank Williams song, and the country music of today. There are ways to trace the development of country music over time that would make it more clear why both Hank Williams and Garth Brooks are called "country" musicians and the ways they are connected. But even so, their music is very different. It's sort of like saying that the music of Bach is classical music, and the music of Stravinsky is classical music. To really understand the ways these types of music may be the "same" - which they are in certain important ways - it would take many years of listening, possibly with guidance from music scholars knowledgeable in the different genres.
My last point is this, hearing Hank Williams for the first time, and attempting to understand why so many think his music is "great," is a very big bite to take out of the musical apple. It is courageous to even try. If you don't immediately connect with Hank Williams this does in any way make you "ignorant," not even close. And your feelings about Hank Williams can most definitely change over time. If you devote a lot of time to understanding Hank Williams I feel very sure that you eventually love Hank Williams. If you don't feel that way your first time through, this is not a predictor of your future feelings on the matter. As my father used to say, "You don't know what you like, you like what you know."
You have your life ahead of you to learn so many things about music. I expect it will be a fun ride.
Listen to "Howlin' at the Moon"!
You need to listen to Hank Williams Senior song I Saw The light you would like that song
There is also a video, from this same TV show, of a a duet with Hank and Anita Carter singing "I can't help it if I'm still in love with you". At the time Anita was 19 and sometime prior to this Hank had been pursuing her, big time. However, Mother Maybelle didn't like drunks, so she ran him off". But judging by her expressions during the song, it might be possible she still had some feelings. ruclips.net/video/FRaZVav5sco/видео.html&pp=ygVIaGFuayB3aWxsaWFtcyBhbml0YSBjYXJ0ZXIgaSBjYW4ndCBoZWxwIGl0IGlmIGknbSBzdGlsbCBpbiBsb3ZlIHdpdGggeW91
They call him “the hillbilly Shakespeare “, every male country singer from the 1950’s till the 1990’s took a lead from his style
Some recommendations from the Williams.
Hank Sr. - Lost Highway
Hank Jr - Family Tradition
Hank 3 - Straight to Hell
Father of modern country music, died at age 29
haha! i see in the 'suggested vids' to my right you have heard Merle Haggard. i just might have to go watch that. you have to do a vid on his great song - Tonight, The Bottle Let Me Down
You've reacted to his before. This very video in fact. About a year ago. 😂
Yeah, what is up with this? I think he also just released a Merle Haggard video that was also done previously, Mama's hungry eyes I think.
a song called "I saw the light"
❤
He was only 28 this was a year before he died in the back seat of a car !
I heard that he wrote this after a fight with his wife.
LISTEN TO "LONG GONE DADDY". Absolute banger and nobody has a reaction to it!!
They didn't call him the hillbilly Shakespeare for nothing
The hillbilly Shakespeare. 😊
Try the Nora Jones cover it's more modern but as skilfully
Norah Jones did a remake of this song that is fantastic. It's got a piano lounge feel to it and it does it very well. Do yourself a favor and lend it an ear.
you need to listen to your comments
Do "Hey, Good Lookin" :ruclips.net/video/bjCoKslQOEs/видео.html by Hank recorded live which is rare for hank songs
Lost Highway
by the way what ever that is reflection off of makes everyone play left handed and all of them were right handed
YOU NEVER HEARD SAINT HANK
It's a bit slower than studio recording

Hank died at age 29.
You reacted to Hank Jr. "A Country Boy Can Survive" for example. That is his son. Whom I believe outdistanced him as a preformer and had to work hard to overcome being the son of a country music "legend". Yes, Hank Sr. was very early country and his songs are time honored classics, covered too many times to count over the years, to me he is a cultivated taste but to country music I am in the minority. I grew up on classic country and while I liked Hank Sr.'s songs lyrically I thought his voice was okay.
Hank wrote this song after he found out his wife Audrey had an abortion in 1950 cause she thought he was cheating on her.
This is so basic. They are in a relationship, and they are getting to the point where he is ready to take it to a serious level and in the past, this is the point that she was hurt by a previous person so she is backing up faster than he can advance things. Her heart is cold because of what someone else did to her and now she is hurting him.
This version is a bit too slow for my taste. The record version is a lot faster
Unpopular opinion… Lefty Frizzell was better than Hank Williams. You need to check out the song “Saginaw Michigan”.
Good? Good? What do you have stuffed in your headphones? Start by reading the lyrics less the music. Many of us have known that women and felt that hopelessness.
New country sucks it’s just bad rock ‘n’ roll, I don’t even listen to new country anymore.
