Steele player, Mike Johnson's dad played with Hank. Went on to play for Mel Street, then Bill Anderson. My ears were pinned to Mama's Hank records. I would shut myself off on New Years eve and just break down. Later, I met Mel Street(last 2-3 years of his life). Never will get over these two.
Yeah besides looks and song writing there's no doubts that young Sam is a member of the Williams family and with any luck at all he'll be a country music star like a combination of his Dad and his Grandfather and he'll hopefully keep the "family tradition " alive and well in country music for quite a few years to come 😊😅😮😂❤😊❤
Both grandsons (all) grandsons have gifts of song/ singing/ lyrical talent/ musical talent, glad I look up : Hank William's grandchildren singing one day, was not disappointed.

Hey I won't disagree with any of y'all 's comments about Sam's looks cause I can see a lot of Hank Sr's looks in Sam and this is the second time I'm seen him singing and he doesn't have his Grandpa's Alabama accent but you can tell he is Hank Sr's grandson 😊😅😮😂❤😂❤😊❤
Hank III isn't there, isn't part of this moment and can you respect how hard it must be for Sam to have someone like you blow Sam off when it's finally his moment? If I was Sam I would think your comment kinda sucks.
I grew up listening to Hank senior then blessed with Hank Jr and now its amazing that there’s a 3rd generation with Hank III and Sam. I feel very fortunate to have lived long enough to experience this much of the Williams family legacy. I know Hiram is smiling down on his family.
I feel that Sam probably hates that Sheldon doesn't get the credit that he deserves. I BLAME Randall Hank.Williams for the way Sheldon has been treated and shunned. He is an exceptional musician and singer/songwriter. Keep pluggin Hank III we love you ❤!
The Wiliams dangerous redundancy is embarrassing to watch. There was only one Hank Williams. If this kid don't stop trying to be Hank he will sacrifice having his own authentic life.
Even as free spoken as Jr is, I’d say probably not, unless he’s singing for a very select crowd. He ain’t lying, gay guitar pickers don’t turn him on. They don’t turn me on either.
Oh yes so terrible to have a brave, authentic , intelligent and articulate son. He is himself. Fully. Regardless of his lineage. If that isn’t a Williams trait….
How do we know, that sam is hanks grandson. Hank jr., does not look like hank senior, hank jr., was a very chunky little boy, look nothing like tall and lean, hank sr.
He's got a long way to go before I give him another chance. He was very rude to people. His father had to overcome this and he's going to have to. I hope that he does.
I loved Hank Sr. But I wouldn’t give a nickel for Hank Jr. He used being a Williams as an excuse for his stupid behavior. Junior barley even knew Hank senior. He was just a baby when his dad died. The “Family Tradition” should be good honest country music. Not drugs and alcohol.
What pressue do you have Sam, your name isnt even Hank bro. Hank II, you know that dude whos your brother. The one your dad craps all over and has more talent than his and your dad and you put together. Why dont you ask him about what its like having a talented brother who resembles his grandfather. What a joke.
As a Christian Mother of a gay man like Sam, I do not judge. I just love the child God gave me. The Bible says above and beyond all things the greatest commandment Jesus gave is, " To love one another as I have loved you." Let's just love and leave the judgment up to Him.
Sam has a child, that tells me he has been in love with a woman, maybe he was 'recruited' or changed his mind , either way, he is a great singer/songwriter, he is a born singer. God loves all of His children, Sam is a Christian.
Oh my gosh, he freaking looks JUST like him. That is amazing. Hank3 looked a LOT like him too when he was younger. Absolutely amazingly cool.
Love sam. Great dude. Looks like Hank sr. Those ears that smile. And just straight to the point. Like his dad.
Sure does
Hank Jr. Is still tops for me. Love the original and 3 as well.
Love ya Sam. ❤ keep up with the music
He is truly following in his grandfather and dad's footsteps. I swear I had goose bumps hearing him sing like his grandpa and his dad.
if only he’d learn to pick up that dang guitar
Young man your grandfather was one of the greatest songwriters ever he was very poetic
I'm sure Sam knows this
@@lindavaughn4974Dude was passing a compliment, no need to be a douche bucket
God bless you Sam and your family
Hank 3 looks and sounds like Hank sr.
Yes
That's Hank 3s younger brother Sam Williams.
And Sam is the spitting image of Hank Jr 🤠
I miss III, it's been awhile since he's put out anything.
Steele player, Mike Johnson's dad played with Hank. Went on to play for Mel Street, then Bill Anderson. My ears were pinned to Mama's Hank records. I would shut myself off on New Years eve and just break down. Later, I met Mel Street(last 2-3 years of his life). Never will get over these two.
I’m sure you’re better than what they’re calling country music nowadays. 🥺
GOD BLESS YOU SAM❤❤
Bill Anderson and Jeanie Seely were really cool in this interview.
Sam just looks like his grandfather, Hank Sr. my mother’s favorite ❤️👏💐❤️
HANK3 is the real deal.
Much love to Sam from Dothan, Alabama! You are a unique, massively amazing talent. ❤❤#TroyUGrad
Love this sweet Sam! So talented! We’re so proud!
That boy definitely looks like his granddaddy....and he definitely has the pipes too...
Love the whole Family!
Sam looks like Hank Sr
I thought Hank 3rd looked like Sr, but damn, Sam might have him beat!!! Proud to claim Hank Sr as a Bama Boy!!!
Yeah besides looks and song writing there's no doubts that young Sam is a member of the Williams family and with any luck at all he'll be a country music star like a combination of his Dad and his Grandfather and he'll hopefully keep the "family tradition " alive and well in country music for quite a few years to come 😊😅😮😂❤😊❤
Well he most definitely 100% has NOT kept the Family Tradition alive, as a matter of fact he has tainted the whole family name
I like Sam’s take on his family relationship and life. Never really seen his take before this interview. Charisma is genetic
Hank 3 got the talent.
You said it
Damn right Rebel Proud.
Both grandsons (all) grandsons have gifts of song/ singing/ lyrical talent/ musical talent, glad I look up : Hank William's grandchildren singing one day, was not disappointed.
@@1besiegedwell I’m sure if ole Hank was alive today HE would be VeRy disappointed in what’s going on with this kid.

I can't believe how much sam looks like his grandfather
Hank love him I’m just a good ol’ run into Hank Jr on night in a bar after a concert 🎵 n Florida it was one hell of a night
Hey I won't disagree with any of y'all 's comments about Sam's looks cause I can see a lot of Hank Sr's looks in Sam and this is the second time I'm seen him singing and he doesn't have his Grandpa's Alabama accent but you can tell he is Hank Sr's grandson 😊😅😮😂❤😂❤😊❤
You can tell he’s a damn Fruit
Hank III is the only Williams I can get on board with
Me too,except for the devil worship music.
Sam looks like Hank Sr. . Shelton Hank 3 sounds like him, he ( Shelton) mastered the sound.
@@benbricker890 Hank III mastered his own style and sound. Though he resembles Hiram Hank, he doesn't try to portray him.
@@glencoe6305wym by devil worship music?
@@featheredcoyote5477and why is that?
Shelton is the real III
It kinda of sucks that they're prasijng Sam for being Hank's grandson, just completely ignoring Hank III
Well Hank 3 isn’t there, Ftuity Sam is so I imagine thats why they’re talking about HiM and not Shelton
Hank III isn't there, isn't part of this moment and can you respect how hard it must be for Sam to have someone like you blow Sam off when it's finally his moment? If I was Sam I would think your comment kinda sucks.
Hank 3, as talented as he is, wants to be a punk rocker. That's the problem.
He looks exactly like his late grandpa Hank Williams Sr. It's uncanny
I grew up listening to Hank senior then blessed with Hank Jr and now its amazing that there’s a 3rd generation with Hank III and Sam. I feel very fortunate to have lived long enough to experience this much of the Williams family legacy. I know Hiram is smiling down on his family.
He does favor..but Hank 3 is like a clone !
Hank III looks a lot like his father before the accident in 75. Check out the movie A Time to Sing starring Hank Jr. from 68 that's on UA-cam.
Yeah I bet he’s got it rough.
He looks so much like Hank Sr.
how could he have pressure from his grand father? He never new him
I feel that Sam probably hates that Sheldon doesn't get the credit that he deserves. I BLAME Randall Hank.Williams for the way Sheldon has been treated and shunned. He is an exceptional musician and singer/songwriter. Keep pluggin Hank III we love you ❤!
He looks like Hank Sr
I think that cut out just as it was getting really good
God, he looks like Hank sr
What about Jett -
He favors Hank sr
Sam looks just like hank sr it's amazing and hank IV looks like hank jr
He sure does look like Hank.
They was all good different eras
Hank III more like Granddaddy, sometimes too much, Hank,Sr the Greatest of all time , followed by George Jones.
Why does he look so much like sr and jr I’m dead
Pretty wild isn’t it? He looks exactly like both of them at the same time
Strong genes. Hank 3 looks just like Hank Sr.
He didn’t even know his grandfather to have that kind of pressure
You’re not him, so how can you tell? You’re in no position to even have a clue 😆😆😆
He might not have known his grandfather but the pressure doesn't come from the grandfather but from the expectations from the people.
The Wiliams dangerous redundancy is embarrassing to watch. There was only one Hank Williams. If this kid don't stop trying to be Hank he will sacrifice
having his own authentic life.
Sam is an amazing performer, separate from his genetics.
Hank Williams and I have something in common. I was also born with Spina Bifida. Mine is more severe than his was though.
how about shelton
Hank III!!!
Wonder if Hank Jr still talks about Gay Guitar pickers NOT turning him on????☝️🙄
Even as free spoken as Jr is, I’d say probably not, unless he’s singing for a very select crowd. He ain’t lying, gay guitar pickers don’t turn him on. They don’t turn me on either.
@@acp865Oh he still sings it just like he used to, I heard him sing it a year and a half ago
That kid looks just like Hank Williams, if his hair was black and combed right it would be uncanny?
what a "B"
4:05 Moonshine Wellness ✔
He looks allot like his grandpa.
8:01
Hank Sr rolling over in his grave. We all know Hank Jr is very conservative so I’m sure this homosexual thing is like a knife in the heart
You better believe it!
Oh yes so terrible to have a brave, authentic , intelligent and articulate son. He is himself. Fully. Regardless of his lineage. If that isn’t a Williams trait….
@@Rebwell oh Those are all very admirable traits… it’s the one you didn’t mention that is the issue
I disagree. We need more diversity in country music, like a gay black country singer named Charlie Gay Pride.
There is always someone in the bunch that says something very inappropriate. This time its you.
Wow he really does looks like Hank Sr😮 more than Hank III does
Sam looks like his dad.
Sure looks like his granddaddy.
How do we know, that sam is hanks grandson. Hank jr., does not look like hank senior, hank jr., was a very chunky little boy, look nothing like tall and lean, hank sr.

Your comment makes no sense. Hank Sr. literally died from drugs and alcohol. It is the "family tradition."
What pressue do you have Sam, your name isnt even Hank bro. Hank II, you know that dude whos your brother. The one your dad craps all over and has more talent than his and your dad and you put together. Why dont you ask him about what its like having a talented brother who resembles his grandfather. What a joke.
Listen to your daddys song dinosaur
Why? You really think he’s never heard the song and listened to the words?
Hank Sr. would be ashamed of Sam's life style, and I'm sure his Daddy is as well.
As a Christian Mother of a gay man like Sam, I do not judge. I just love the child God gave me. The Bible says above and beyond all things the greatest commandment Jesus gave is, " To love one another as I have loved you." Let's just love and leave the judgment up to Him.
What is wrong with him
ohh he's a que-! l see
I hope you find love in your heart this lifetime and learn to live through Jesus. SMH, WOW! Such judgmental hateful people.
Sam has a child, that tells me he has been in love with a woman, maybe he was 'recruited' or changed his mind , either way, he is a great singer/songwriter, he is a born singer. God loves all of His children, Sam is a Christian.
Gay guitar pickers don't turn me on!!!
Exactly. I can't believe this shit.
The FuCK is wrong with kids anymore!!??
If he's gay, he's mine, lol
@@maxspencer2523 he’s 100% Gay, that came from his own mouth so Go Get Him!
No one cares what turns you on.
Where is Clancy you guys treat him like the redheaded stepchild you people make me sick Hank 3 always rocks out harder than you can
Sam is 💯 a spiting image of Hank Williams SR
Well spoken, young Sam. You have been asked these questions countless times. Your sincerity and sensitivity are courageous and honest.
He is a talentless hack
Blow-cephus
And now he likes boys. Hank would disown him
