Hank Sr. died on 01/Jan/1953 (29 yrs old) Hank Jr was 3 yrs old. Hank Jr. mother made him start performing his dad's songs on stage at 8 yrs old. Hank Jr. got first record deal at 14 yrs old.
He died in the back seat of his Cadillac on the way to perform a concert in Canton, OH. When the driver stopped in W. Va, he discovered Hank had passed. No one really knows if he died on Dec. 31 or Jan 1, but the discovery was made in the wee hours of Jan 1, so that is the date listed. He was plagued with health issues from birth. He suffered from Spina Bifida and since medicine is not what it is today, he medicated with alcohol and morphine.
Hank Williams Sr. is by far the most talented singer/songwriter and performer of early country music. I'm 73 and grew up listening to his records on the "hi-fi". His records were the only ones my dad would play!
You talk about country music history? This song (and almost everything Hank Sr. sang) really is country music history. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry has been recorded and performed by dozens of artists in all genres, including Al Green, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.J. Thomas, Terry Bradshaw (yes, that Terry Bradshaw), Leon Russell and the Danish rock band Volbeat. Elvis called it the saddest song he'd ever heard. The most beautiful version I ever heard was performed by Broadway star Bernadette Peters during an appearance on the Johnny Carson show. Hank originally wrote it as a recitation until his fellow artists persuaded him to set it to music.
Hank Williams was one of the greatest of his generation. He died January 1, 1953 at the age of 29. Check out "There's a Tear in My Beer"...a duet of Hank, Sr. and Hank, Jr. Also, check out "Your Cheating Heart", "Move It On Over", "Mind Your Own Business" and "Cold, Cold Heart"...just to name a few. My dad taught me to two-step to Hank Williams' music.
Hank was my grandpa's favorite musician Hey Good Looking is one of my favorites it's just a really fun song and honestly I could think I could hear a hip hop artist using that one great reaction and thanks for all the hard work on it
Hank Sr wrote, "l saw the light." On tour with Country comedian Millie Pearl ("Howdy! I'm so glad to be here." And known for a price tag hanging off her hat. Also was on the tv show "Hee Haw") Hank told Millie in the car that "He couldn't see the light anymore." Millie said he looked so sad & she didn't get to discuss it with him any further cause Hank was called away. Not long after that, Hank died. Great singer/songwriter. If you get the chance. Watch the official video of Hank Sr & Jr singing, There's a tear in my beer." It's amazing!!!!!
To me, the holy trinity of country music is Hank Williams, Marty Robbins, and Johnny Cash. This is one of Hank's best-known songs. Elvis covered it once and called it the saddest song he'd ever heard. Hank suffered a lot in life and it comes out in a lot of the music, but he also wrote some songs that were tongue-in-cheek or outright funny; he did gospel, he did one of the earliest rock and roll songs (play "Move It On Over" and Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" back to back), he did the blues (a blind Black blues musician taught him guitar and Hank Williams Jr. has helped preserve his legacy; Hank Sr. lost touch with him when he got famous but Hank Jr. paid for a beautiful memorial to Teetot in Alabama).
Hank, Sr died at age 29. He wrote and performed some of the most famous songs in recorded history. He is the Legend of all Legends. He wrote the book on country music. Pure genius. He also recorded under the name Luke The Drifter.
There are Legends in Country music that deserve to be “Learned” to truly appreciate what you’re being introduced to. The Godfather of Country, Hank Williams is up there. His tragic life, his painful medical condition he controlled with alcohol and pills; not only lead Hank to be fire from The Grand Ol’ Opry but, to die alone in his Cadillac on New Years Eve at the age of 29. After his death…Then found Fame. His son, Hank Williams, Jr is the Truth, a Legend, an Outlaw and must discover! Also for your channel, many tributes have been done for Hank Sr: Alan Jackson - Midnight in Montgomery David Allan Coe - The Ride
Oh you gotta listen to Hank III! He looks and sounds exactly like Hank, Sr. No kidding! He has made recordings of some of Hank, Sr's songs and sounds so eerily like him, it's freaky.
I love the wide variety of genres and time periods on your channel!! I mentioned Cowboy Junkies on another of your reactions - Margo Timmons sings a soft, soulful, stunning cover of this song. Also... Now that you've reacted to Hank, you really need to go down the Roy Clark rabbit hole. He is one of the greatest musicians and iconic entertainers in American history. Folsom Prison Blues (solo and with Johnny Cash) and Malagueña, live on The Odd Couple tv show are two of my favorites. He also hosted Hee Haw, a country variety show, for almost 30 years.
Krizz: before Hank Williams there were the ICONIC ones- - The Carter Family ( check “Wildwood Flower” 1928) - Jimmie Rodgers (check “Blue Yodel No.1 aka T for Texas) 1928. Roy Acuff (check “Wabash Cannonball”) 1936 which sold over 10 million physical copies in the depression 1930s - and remained the top selling song for decades. Before that Vernon Dalhart 1924 “Wreck of the Old 97”. Those are where Country comes from.
Hey Krizz. I just want to say I've been here from the beginning on the recommendation of Black Pegasus. I love your channel and your reactions. I'll be here everyday, even if I'm old enough to be Yo Mama. This song was recorded before I was born, but my family tree is filled with Country Western fans, so I was a little girl who grew up hearing Hank Sr., Johnny Cash, Merle Travis, Eddie Arnold, Bill Monroe, Gene Autry and Chet Atkins' guitar. Way too many to name. Hank Sr. passed a year before I was born, but I heard him a lot. Gone too soon...RIP Hank Sr.
A little farther back would be two acts most mentioned...Jimmie Rodgers and The Original Carter Family. One of my favorites from the Hillbilly Shakespeare. Loved the little bit of harmony at the end, Krizz.
Glad to hear you like to hear older musicians who influenced modern music. Most modern music country, rock and blues were influenced by Jimmie Rodgers from the early 1900s and artists like Bob Wills with his Western Swing and Sister Rosetta Tharpe considered the grandmother of rock. And a whole lot of others.
❤. Love looking back at the classics with you. The fact that the music will always forever be in our lives is amazing. Maybe the best thing about the internet. Peace out man ✌️❤
Hank Williams was one of the early sounds. If you really want to get to the roots, check out the father of country music, look into Jimmie Rodgers "The Singing Brakeman" from the 20s. There is a video of him doing "Waiting on a Train". He also did "T for Texas" and "In The Jailhouse Now" are a couple of my favorites. A nice reaction.
Hank Sr. died in my hometown Oak Hill, WV on January 1, 1953 at the age of 29, cause of death was a drug and alcohol induced heart attack. His daughter Jett Williams was born 5 days later and is a country star as well. The mortician from Oak Hill actually drove the body back to Montgomery, AL. Jett came to Oak Hill while he was in assisted living and interviewed him.
The silence of a falling star, Lights up a purple sky. And as I wonder where you are, I’m so lonesome I could cry. They don’t write lyrics like that anymore.
This is one of the saddest songs ever written. If you're depressed have a fifth of liquor and a gun don't listened to this song. Hank was gone entirely too soon at 29
When did you become a country artist? My parents were touring Country and Western artists for most of my life and I am 70 now. My DFad olayed that flat slide bar steele guitar and my mom sang and played rythm on an old Gibson. I've lived it and it wasnt easy. moving all the time,leaving school all the time. Still,it was great.
Hank Williams is The Biggest Legend in Country Music History. He was also Rock And Roll before Rock And Roll was Rock and Roll! You also have Hank Jr.’s other children including Holly Williams and Sam Williams who both have their own styles, which are all phenomenal in their own right!
Want some history of Hank. Watch on Country Roads "Charley Pride and Don Helms Your Cheaten Heart" Charley did a tribute album to Hank, Don is the steel guitar player for Hank.
Alan Jackson did a great song honoring Hank Williams. Midnight in Montgomery. He is buried there. Great song. Elvis did song of his songs sounded completely different. Hank Williams was an Alcoholic and was going to sing , he had a driver. He died in the backseat of the car. He was 29 yrs old from Montgomery, Alabama, a poor family.
Hank Williams died way too young. Glad you are checking out country classics. Check out Roger Miller "King of the Road" and Charlie Pride "Kaw Liga" these were my favorites as a little girl. I would listen to my radio at night and try to stay awake for just one more song, hoping it was one of there.
He died in 53. He was 29. Hank Jr was only 3. Some folks think Hank Jr learned from his dad, but he didn't. He was to young. That's what kinda makes his story so amazing. He did it in his dad's shadow, but without his dad's teachings.
I'm not a country fan but my dad liked Hank Williams and Johnny Horton both are not bad and bring back good memories u should check out Johnny Horton too.
Oh yeah, I wore dad’s Johnny Horton record out when I was a kid. Battle of New Orleans, Bismarck, Johnny reb, etc. As a kid the powdering the alligator’s behind line was so funny.
Here's some guys to look into: Tom T Hall (aka "The Storyteller") Cal Smith (Country Bumpkin) Jerry Lee Lewis has some awesome honky tonk/country stuff
Several people have suggested investigating Jimmie Rodgers. He is known as "The Father of Country Music" (along with the Carter Family, he was the first to record commercially). Like Hank Williams, he died young, at 36 from tuberculosis, but was very influential in the early years of country music. Before he became a singer, he worked on the railroad and was billed as "The Singing Brakeman." Here is a short from 1930 that features three of his best-known songs. ruclips.net/video/iyHulWOZBpk/видео.html
HW III is a great talent as well. It's quite a family legacy. They are great storytellers, whether they wrote the song or they interpreted someone else's song.
I first became aware of Krizz Kalikoon a Jelly Roll cut. I only say that to say that this what I love about RUclips. Being exposed to all kinds of talent that I likely wouldn't have been. Hank Sr is the James Brown of country music
If you want something kind of similar yet nothing like this you should check out Hank III which is his grandson. He’s amazing but it’s rock ‘n’ roll country.

Looking back in history... I would love to see your reaction to Cab Callaway and the Nicholas brothers from the big band era '42? I like the black and white version. The shadows have a life of their own. Used in cartoons in the '60s?
Learn about Hank, Sr. and you'll understand Hank, Jr.'s "Family Tradition". Also, there is a video of Natalie Cole singing a duet with her dad, Nat King Cole, years after his passing. There is also one of Hank Jr. doing "A Tear in My Beer" with Hank Sr. (IDK which was first) @billdobagging mentioned Johnny Horton. I'll second that nomination. "Got to Sink the Bismark", "North to Alaska", or "Battle of New Orleans" will get you started.
Krizz, just pull up Hanks greatest hits. If you don't recognize the name of one of the songs just listen to a little of it. You've heard his music in some form, somewhere. SO MANY of his songs have been covered over the years it's crazy.
I've watched your reaction 3 times in a row now on this song. You have no idea how much the greats influenced all the artists that have followed! Did you actually listen to the words? Did the words stir something in your soul? I like your channel but IMO you missed the mark on this one! I'm sure I will catch heck for saying what I said but so be it!
Yeah Hank Sr actually died at 29 of a overdose or alcohol poisoning not 100% sure but something like that, he was THE star in country music and Hank Jr was only a baby so Hank JR never knew his dad personally only threw his music. There is a Movie on his life called “I Saw the light” the actor that plays Loki from the MCU plays Hank SR
Hank Williams was know as the Hillbilly Shakespeare. One of the most prolific songwriters of all time.
Hank Williams "Lost Highway" ❤❤❤...
Please go down The Hank Sr. rabbit hole. Classic country at its best. "Hey Good Lookin" or "Jambalaya". So great.

Yes girl! The 2 step is a lost art! Love your comment!
He wrote a number of gospel songs such as 'I Saw the Light'
I didn't know! Wow!
Love singing that in church!❤ ...learn something new every day !❤
He had a fun song to sing -- Move It On Over!
Helped invent rock and roll
Remember no stereo and it was AM radio.
Hank was my grandpa's favorite musician Hey Good Looking is one of my favorites it's just a really fun song and honestly I could think I could hear a hip hop artist using that one great reaction and thanks for all the hard work on it
I was a rock ‘n roll teenager, but I secretly LOVED Hank Williams, Sr. I played his albums to death.
Elvis said this was the saddest song he ever heard.
Grew up hearing these at my pawpaw’s, with lots of Marty Robbins.
Hank Sr wrote, "l saw the light."
On tour with Country comedian Millie Pearl ("Howdy! I'm so glad to be here." And known for a price tag hanging off her hat. Also was on the tv show "Hee Haw")
Hank told Millie in the car that "He couldn't see the light anymore."

If you get the chance. Watch the official video of Hank Sr & Jr singing, There's a tear in my beer."
It's amazing!!!!!
Minnie Pearl bro.
Hank Sr. died when Hank Jr. was about 3 years old.
Country music. Three chords and the truth.
“I Saw the Light” is a 2015 movie about Hank Williams, Sr. and his music.
Hank Sr's music is a definite rabbit hole te enjoy!
Hank 3 did a really good job with that song. You should definitely check it out
Hank Sr. is one of the most influential country artists of all time. His songs have been made into many genres. AND, he died at only age 29
"Tear in my Beer" with Hank Jr and Sr is a must.
Hank Williams Sr. is legend... his grandson Hank 3 is rebel AF!!! I love Sr.. but Hank 3 is underrated criminally!

He also recorded under ‘Like the Drifter’ some very sad and thought provoking songs. Men With Broken Dreams, Tramp on the Street….
I love his music, I have the Drifters with him on my CD.
I was blessed to grow up with this music...

What is amazing is that a song is one of the few vehicles that men feel the freedom to express his sorrow so honestly and publicly.
Beautiful recording. The year I was born. I grew up singing along with Hank.
Another rabbit hole you would enjoy is Marty Robbins amazing storyteller...
I think you would love Hank Williams Jr,' collaborations with Kid Rock! My favorite is The F Word! Very funny!
Another good song by the legendary Hank, Kaw Liga
He also released an LP in 1953 using the name Luke The Drifter.
I love his doghouse song. I can’t remember the title now.
The one where he sings, "Move over little dog, cause the big dogs movin in", lol😂
@ yes that’s the one!
He did an album under the name of Luke the Drifter.

Nice harmony you did at the end. I love Hank Williams ❤
Jimmie Rodgers was the first country star. Him and Hank Williams both died young.
Im pleased to find Hank here. Not surprised. Just pleased.
I love his song, I'll Never get out of This World Alive.
Glad to hear you like to hear older musicians who influenced modern music.

Hank III was a drummer for a speed metal band when he started.

You need to hear "Standing In The Shadows" by Hank Jr.
Love hank sr and jr hank the 3rd looks alot like his granddad and sounds alot like him
Hank Williams is The Biggest Legend in Country Music History. He was also Rock And Roll before Rock And Roll was Rock and Roll!

Love "Long Gone Lonesome"! My husband want's it played at his funeral!
I'm not a country fan but my dad liked Hank Williams and Johnny Horton both are not bad and bring back good memories u should check out Johnny Horton too.
The Battle of New Orleans! 👵🏼☮️
Maybe you already know but Johnny Horton married Hanks legal widow, second wife Billie.
Oh yeah, I wore dad’s Johnny Horton record out when I was a kid. Battle of New Orleans, Bismarck, Johnny reb, etc.
As a kid the powdering the alligator’s behind line was so funny.
Here's some guys to look into:
Tom T Hall (aka "The Storyteller")
Cal Smith (Country Bumpkin)
Jerry Lee Lewis has some awesome honky tonk/country stuff
Elvis version Aloha from Hawaii 1973 😊❤

He still influences artists today... hank IV is the son of Hank III
Look up Luke the Drifter. It was Hank Sr's alter ego.
It saddens me that we lose all these great and talented signings to either drug or alcohol at such young ages
HW III is a great talent as well. It's quite a family legacy. They are great storytellers, whether they wrote the song or they interpreted someone else's song.
Family legacy indeed!
Challenge to look into his history it’s so fascinating!
BJ Thomas does a great cover of this song. Because the recording techniques had improved so much by then, it sounds great.
Please listen to BJ Thomas version of this song. Hank Williams is a foundation of country music. He wrote many hits before his early death.
Just found your channel. Really enjoying your takes.
"Hey Good Looking"
One of the all time best
Oh I love the hat
Hank 111 is a rebel. I love all the Hanks. Check out Hank 111's song, "Dick in Dixie."
Yo Krizz your colab Target Practice is fkn awesome
I first became aware of Krizz Kalikoon a Jelly Roll cut. I only say that to say that this what I love about RUclips. Being exposed to all kinds of talent that I likely wouldn't have been. Hank Sr is the James Brown of country music
Listen to Lovesick Blues next. 6 encores at the Grand Ole Opry
If you want something kind of similar yet nothing like this you should check out Hank III which is his grandson. He’s amazing but it’s rock ‘n’ roll country.
