Hank led a hard life. He was born with spina bifida, so he was always in pain, which he treated with alcohol. He was fired from the Grand Ole Opry for missing shows or bad performances while drunk. He died in the backseat of a Cadillac convertible, just after midnight on Jan 1, 1953. Hank Jr. was 3 years old when his daddy died
Hank Sr. Came from a very poor family and because of that he couldn't get the surgery to correct his spinal bifida, he may have drank and used chloral hydrate, used as a sedative and hypnotic, the night before when his driver called for a doctor, As they were driving to a show because a huge snow storm prevented Hank Sr. From flying, this doctor gave him a shot of morphine and vitamin B12, much more to the story but one show was canceled and he drove on to the next they drove for 20 hours and somewhere along the last leg Hank Sr. Passed away when the driver stopped at a diner and rigor mortis had already set in.
Except for "Settin' the Woods on Fire," "Lovesick Blues," and perhaps a couple more that I can't pull up immediately. He wrote "most" of his songs on his records.
And when it's no longer on the radio, or somebody's turntable or tape player or cloud playlist, Hank Sr.'s music will exist in people's hearts and souls -- Hank wrote about LIFE, its highs and lows, it's bitterness and its sweet moments.
People always think of booze and heartbreak when they think of country but there's that whole other side of country that's about perfecting the art of panty soaking.
If you've ever heard the gospel tune "I Saw the Light" you've heard a Hank Sr song, and if you haven't I suggest checking it out, also his song "Ka Liga".
Hank Williams Sr wrote this and many other songs. He sang when Elvis was a kid. The father of Country Music was Jimmie Rodgers. He sang and recorded in the late 1920s through 1932. Hank wrote about things in his life. He lived through a lot of heart break. He died in the backseat of his car at 29 years old. Try listening to "Move It On Over. "
Hank was my Dad's favorite. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mr. Williams best song - Settin' The Woods On Fire. He is an absolute legend and clearly his music will live on.
He was known to take his guitar into a random honkey tonk out in the stick and drink all night while he played and sang, often making up songs on the spot. It was his alcohol abuse that put him in an early grave, sadly. I've heard some say he was the inspiration for both Country and Rock and Roll. Hank Sr. is an absolute legend and thinking about him puts a tear in my beer!
You need some Hank III in your life. He's pretty wild but he pays his respect to them who paved the way. Hank III "Country Heroes"... It's a tribute to his influences.
Love Hank Sr and Jr. Move It On Over. Cold, Cold Heart. Your Cheating Heart. Mind Your Own Business. Jambalaya.. Elvis did cover this song and said it was the saddest song he ever heard
My kids know the words to Hank Williams songs and still love him to this day! Their daddy was a big Hank Williams fan of course. Later on it was Hank Jr the sons played and daddy loved of course! ❤️
Hank's music is timeless, and just as meaningful today as it was 70 years ago. He was taught by Rufus "T Tot" Payne, an old blues player, when he was a young boy.
Good for you, Hank came out of a much simpler time and the music was bare bones. He was so huge I think that people today don't understand or know. He was Elvis before Elvis, perhaps the first big pop star.
Dude this song is too nostalgic for me! Reminds me of when I was a kid spending the summer at my grandparents. Grandma loved Hank Williams, she would play his music every morning.
You can feel heartbreak in every note. Not teenage, kiss on the cheek heartbreak but grown man heart busted open heartbreak. There's Shakespeare and Hank. Then there's everyone else.
Hank is one of the fathers of country music. This is one of his best and has been covered by many great artists over the years. Just about anyone who is anyone has recorded a Hank Williams song. Great reaction. 1949
This needs to be on your "Jim Beam" Playlist. Not an everyday thing. Just a "Choosing to Wallow in My Misery" thing, 'cause Misery loves company and Hank can commiserate with you like no other.
I'm a 62 year old white guy, born and raised in NC. The first time I heard " Rapper's Delight" I thought, " What the f..k is that"? I've grown to realize what rap means to black Americans. I will say, this is the God's honest truth, this very first country music song I remember and remember singing along to the radio with my dad in the car was Charlie Pride's " Is anybody goin to San Antone". I can sing that song verse for verse today. Check him out, he's the reason I knew as a young boy that racism is bs. Imagine what the man faced in the 1960's. He was a true American treasure and a better man than me.
When I was a teen, back in the 60s, once no one else was home, I listened to Daddy's Charley Pride album. No way was I going to admit I liked country music.
I grew up in punk rock bands, death metal bands, hitchhiking for years, etc. fell in love with vintage country music about 6 years ago, and it’s all i listen to now. Old country just sounds GANGSTER.
My aunt and to be uncle double dated with Hank and his to be wife. My grand dad got into a tassle with Hank at a barn dance in Alabama and busted a guitar over his head. Needless to say, a bit of 'shine was involved. That family story still makes me smile. Im a rock era kid but as i got older, this became one of my favorites
I am sure you have heard Move it on Over that was a Hank Sr. song it was covered by several people but you would have heard the George Thorogood cover. I would recommend Lost Highway, Ramblin Man, Kaw-Liga, I Saw the Light, Jambalaya to start with then the rabbit hole gets so much deeper. He had so many hits and inspired so many, and only lived to be 29.
Could you imagine how much beautiful music he could have made if he had not died so young? Make me sad to think of the loss of it all. He has a song called, "Move it on Over". It is great! It was also covered by George Thorogood. You would love him! And as mentioned down below: Ramblin' Man, Kaw-Liga, I Saw the Light, Jambalaya! Charlie Pride did a cover of Kaw-liga which is great.
My Mom and Dad always had country on the radio or on tv on the weekends in 70's. I never liked country much but some of the singers like Hank Williams bring back nice memories any time I hear it again. That kind of country is priceless )
Now you have to do Hank 3! Smoke & wine, Cecil Brown, Mississippi Mud, Low Down, Country Heroes, 6 pack of beer... so many awesome songs. He has his own style!
Hank passed away shortly after Jr was born. Jr is now 75 with 5 kids including Hank III who's also an artist. He is along the Moonshine Bandits music Country Rap.
The Best of them all, I still have a full set of his MGM 78's they are all on my UA-cam channel ua-cam.com/play/PLcYm_NBods05aO1WvNf4E3SDZwhbZ8w32.html&si=-TNlZ5cM_VLxqvl5
This is actually my favorite Hank Williams song. My grandma and her sister use to listen to him. When I think about it it always hits me how hilarious it is that I'm in my late 30's and grew up surrounded by so many types of music that most people my age had never heard all because of how many different generations I was surrounded by. But I've had influences from the WWII generation up to prevent so my taste in music and movies is all over the place.😂 Speaking of WWII you should check out Ella Fitzgerald. She was an amazing jazz singer. She was known as "The Queen of Jazz" and the "First Lady of Song". Titles which she whole heartedly deserve as she has one of the mos beautiful voices you will ever hear.
I’m 58 and understand what you mean. It’s not something I would listen to very often. But if it’s on the radio or something like that I do listen as it brings back memories of my dad. Very nostalgic for those of us whose parents and grandparents listened to this music.
HE IS THE MAN !!! It wasn't easy going around from town to town in a 1945 Buick..rough trying to make a descent living back..tough old soul that shaped country music today..God bless him
Ramblin Man, Lost Highway, Mansion on The hill, Dust on The Bible, man, so many great Hank Sr songs. I grew up listening to this, (as well as Rock & Roll, Jazz, and blues.) Good Stuff man.
I'm five months late to the party, but I strongly recommend Hank Williams' "Lost Highway". Outstanding song that Tom Petty did a very good cover of. He loved that song.
Hank Williams wrote and sang a song called "Kalija". It was re-sung by many singers, but I think the best to ever sing that song was Charlie Pride. Charlie Pride is another one who you should check out. Especially "Cotton Picking Delta Town".
I grew up listening to Hank Sr thanks to my Mom. This makes me think of her. We're coming up on the one year anniversary of her passing. She loved this man's music and have us the love of him too. Thanks for this and thank you Mom from Hank to Elvis and so much more she just loved music❤
Hank Sr. wrote and sang Kaw-liga. Charley Pride later covered it. Have you reacted to any Charley Pride? Charley had a lot of hits. My dad particularly liked _Kiss An Angel Good Morning._ After hearing it on the radio at work, he stopped at Ace Record after work to buy the single to give to my mom.
You should check out Hank Williams "kaw-liga". Theres a reason hes so highly regarded. This man could literally sing about anything and make it a number one. Unfortunate that he died at 29, who knows where he could have ended up
Dude, I've been in Nuevo Mexico for 52 Years! Farmington! It's the wild, wild, west and I love it here. You gotta miss the Chile! All the old generation whether Mexican, Old Spaniard or gringo used to dress like that. The Natives are still cowboy. This state is unique, and I've lived all over. The saying here in Farmington is you can leave but you'll always come back. Via con Dios muchacho!
My grandpa use to pull out his old gibson and pick some Hank Sr. And sing. Brings back some old memories!! Hank Sr. Has a song that goes" Hey good lookin' what ya got cookin'? How bout cookin' something up with me?.... i cant reme.ber the name of it, lil.
Need to react to all 3 hanks! Hank Sr, Jr, And the III sing Long Gone Daddy. You want to be mind blow. Check out Hank the 3rd and how he not only looks like his grandpa but sounds eerie like him too. He does more hillbilly rock style but stays true to his strong country roots! Seriously check it out Long Gone Daddy by all 3 Hanks🤙🏻
Thanks - this is a classic by the original Hank Williams.. and so beautiful and soulful... his son is a pale shadow, trading on his dad's name... appreciate your listen...
Try listening to BJ Thomas singing I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. I'm 71, and it was one of my favorites in the late 60's. I grew up listening to rock and Motown, British invasion, a little folk but never country. By time I was 20 I was listening to a lot of country. Then I realized Hank had written so many great songs. The twangy music of country and western as they called it back then was definitely an acquired taste. But now I love it.
I'm so happy you checked out this classic!! Speaking of Loretta Lynn, you should watch the movie, COAL Miners Daughter, based on her song. It's her life story!! You'll feel an even greater pull to her once you do!! Love yah BP!!
Hank is the King. His music is still popular after all this time. He was born with spinal bifod my daught was also born with it had surgery when she was 7 days old. She is in pain everybut refuses to take pain meds. Love Hank
Did you ever see a robin weep/When leaves begin to die?/Like me, he's lost the will to live/I'm so lonesome I could cry. That line hits hard. Been there.
My Dad used to say, there's 2 kinds of true music, country and, western. This is true country and western.
Hank Williams was known as the "Hillbilly Shakespeare."
Hank led a hard life. He was born with spina bifida, so he was always in pain, which he treated with alcohol. He was fired from the Grand Ole Opry for missing shows or bad performances while drunk. He died in the backseat of a Cadillac convertible, just after midnight on Jan 1, 1953. Hank Jr. was 3 years old when his daddy died
Yup, ill and sleeping in the backseat on the road between gigs.
Hank Sr. Came from a very poor family and because of that he couldn't get the surgery to correct his spinal bifida, he may have drank and used chloral hydrate, used as a sedative and hypnotic, the night before when his driver called for a doctor, As they were driving to a show because a huge snow storm prevented Hank Sr. From flying, this doctor gave him a shot of morphine and vitamin B12, much more to the story but one show was canceled and he drove on to the next they drove for 20 hours and somewhere along the last leg Hank Sr. Passed away when the driver stopped at a diner and rigor mortis had already set in.
someone shot him while he was sitting in the back seat of the car
I never knew he had spina bifida 😢
where did you get that from?@@specialopssoldier1
Hank wrote all of his own songs and music.. He is a legend
Except for Lovesick Blues
Except for "Settin' the Woods on Fire," "Lovesick Blues," and perhaps a couple more that I can't pull up immediately. He wrote "most" of his songs on his records.
Everyone can feel this sing! Nobody has NOT been there!
Hank senior will never die as long as his music is still playing
And when it's no longer on the radio, or somebody's turntable or tape player or cloud playlist, Hank Sr.'s music will exist in people's hearts and souls -- Hank wrote about LIFE, its highs and lows, it's bitterness and its sweet moments.
Hank Williams Hey Good Looking, straight being a player.
He wrote that when Fred Rose took his wife out on the town when Fred told him to write a song while they were out.
My dad used to sing that to me when I was little and dance me on his feet.
People always think of booze and heartbreak when they think of country but there's that whole other side of country that's about perfecting the art of panty soaking.
Hank Williams the 3rd looks and sounds just like his Grandpa.. it's crazyyyy
If you've ever heard the gospel tune "I Saw the Light" you've heard a Hank Sr song, and if you haven't I suggest checking it out, also his song "Ka Liga".
Luke the Drifter. Pictures From Life's Other Side.
You have the honour of listening THE MASTER of Country Music!
You have hit the crown jewels now. Hank Sr. and Loretta Lynn.
75 years! My, how time flies!!! And so much story had to be packed into 2 minutes or so back then. Gone before he was 30. RIP Hank Sr.
Allen Jackson did a great tribute to Hank Williams Sr. (Midnight in Montgomery). Peace, Love!!
He died at 29!
Alan
LOVE the song 'Midnight in Montgomery' 💙
@@joshsheffield3820 yes, Alan.
Hank Williams Sr wrote this and many other songs. He sang when Elvis was a kid. The father of Country Music was Jimmie Rodgers. He sang and recorded in the late 1920s through 1932.
Hank wrote about things in his life. He lived through a lot of heart break. He died in the backseat of his car at 29 years old. Try listening to "Move It On Over. "
My favorite Hank Sr songs are Jambalya, I Saw the Light and Hey Good Lookin
Hank was my Dad's favorite. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mr. Williams best song - Settin' The Woods On Fire. He is an absolute legend and clearly his music will live on.
"The moon just went behind the clouds, to hide it's face and cry..." Pure poetry!
He was only 29 when he died. He made such a great impact on country music in such a short time.
He was known to take his guitar into a random honkey tonk out in the stick and drink all night while he played and sang, often making up songs on the spot. It was his alcohol abuse that put him in an early grave, sadly. I've heard some say he was the inspiration for both Country and Rock and Roll. Hank Sr. is an absolute legend and thinking about him puts a tear in my beer!
This is authentic country music ❤❤❤❤
I always loved that suit with the music notes on it. he had one of the best steel players around in his band the late Don Helm
"Lovesick Blues"!!
Hank Sr. The best song Ever!!!
Legend, King of Country music....people may argue fine. What he did in a short time is still recognized in music from different styles.
Amen to that. That would make an interesting “family” tree!
Finally.. Tired of hearing that being said from those "king" George groupies.
Yes yes yes......I like George Jones or Strait, but come on Hank Willims SR is the foundation of country after him.@@Gutslinger
@@jeremiahrose4681 Same, and agreed. Also, Hank wrote a lot of his own songs and had a super short career.
You need some Hank III in your life. He's pretty wild but he pays his respect to them who paved the way. Hank III "Country Heroes"... It's a tribute to his influences.
Legend in the house..❤
Love Hank Sr and Jr. Move It On Over. Cold, Cold Heart. Your Cheating Heart. Mind Your Own Business. Jambalaya.. Elvis did cover this song and said it was the saddest song he ever heard
My kids know the words to Hank Williams songs and still love him to this day! Their daddy was a big Hank Williams fan of course. Later on it was Hank Jr the sons played and daddy loved of course! ❤️
Story telling has always been a part of country music since it's start.
That's a tear in your beer man . Hank Williams Jr. Tear in my beer
Hank's music is timeless, and just as meaningful today as it was 70 years ago. He was taught by Rufus "T Tot" Payne, an old blues player, when he was a young boy.
Ain’t no other m’fer on here reacting to Amy Winehouse and Hank Sr. on the same day! Kudos and much love to you and your channel, sir! Respect🤓🤠👊🏼
Man you are a bona fide extrovert and it shows on your face - wonderful
That is definitely a stretch...😂😅
Good for you, Hank came out of a much simpler time and the music was bare bones. He was so huge I think that people today don't understand or know. He was Elvis before Elvis, perhaps the first big pop star.
Hank Sr. Ka-liga, you'll love it. And Two songs about Hank Sr..... Midnight in Montgomery and David Allen Coe's "The ride".
Also gets a respectful name-call in Leonard Cohen's 'The Tower of Song'!
Dude this song is too nostalgic for me! Reminds me of when I was a kid spending the summer at my grandparents. Grandma loved Hank Williams, she would play his music every morning.
Music is the best time machine ever.
You can feel heartbreak in every note. Not teenage, kiss on the cheek heartbreak but grown man heart busted open heartbreak. There's Shakespeare and Hank. Then there's everyone else.
Hank is one of the fathers of country music. This is one of his best and has been covered by many great artists over the years. Just about anyone who is anyone has recorded a Hank Williams song. Great reaction. 1949

Im a rock era kid but as i got older, this became one of my favorites
If you really ponder on the words to this song- WOW. This is so deep, meaningful and powerful.
If you were dealing with a broken heart, your play list would be filled with Hank.
My dad brought me up on him and others like him from that era. I played my fiddle to a lot of his stuff, merle haggard, Loretta Lynn Patsy Cline
My favorite HW song is Jambalaya (On the Bayou) Brings back fun memories of my parents singing along when I was a kid! ❤
Hank is in my top three of voices in music all time. I have him up there with Elton John and Freddie Mercury, he was so talented
Just wanted to say, this reaction somehow helped me realise my heartbreak is temporary, thanks for the wisdom, truly.
I am sure you have heard Move it on Over that was a Hank Sr. song it was covered by several people but you would have heard the George Thorogood cover. I would recommend Lost Highway, Ramblin Man, Kaw-Liga, I Saw the Light, Jambalaya to start with then the rabbit hole gets so much deeper.

One of the great songwriters of all time. Many of his songs been covered dozens of times.
Hank Sr. Is the King of Country Music.
I too am from New Mexico.
His voice in this song: SO MOURNFUL!!
Now you have to do Hank 3! Smoke & wine, Cecil Brown, Mississippi Mud, Low Down, Country Heroes, 6 pack of beer... so many awesome songs. He has his own style!

One of my uncles (RIP) that raised me, loved Hank Sr. Me I was playing Hank Jr....a lot of Hank in our house. I do really like Hank Sr though.
He's my all-time Favorite.
Best to ever do it
I love his music! A poet of country. No bad music. Good on ya.
Hank Williams Sr would've turned 100 years old this past September.
Greatest songwriter and vocalist of all time. This is a deep rabbit hole my brother!
So so so deep!
The Best of them all, I still have a full set of his MGM 78's they are all on my UA-cam channel ua-cam.com/play/PLcYm_NBods05aO1WvNf4E3SDZwhbZ8w32.html&si=-TNlZ5cM_VLxqvl5

The Conversation....with Walon & Hank Williams Jr about Sr. Is Awesome!!! ❤
My father was a Hank Sr. Fan.
Look up a lesser known “Roly Poly” it cracks me up every time.
Some fun ones from Hank:
Move It On Over
And
Jambalaya
HE IS THE MAN !!! It wasn't easy going around from town to town in a 1945 Buick..rough trying to make a descent living back..tough old soul that shaped country music today..God bless him
There are many of his songs that were hits to choose from. If you cheese to listen again & want one that's more up beat I'd go for "Hey Good Looking"
Ramblin Man, Lost Highway, Mansion on The hill, Dust on The Bible, man, so many great Hank Sr songs. I grew up listening to this, (as well as Rock & Roll, Jazz, and blues.) Good Stuff man.
What poetry! Thanks for this! You can't help but wonder what other wonderful songs could've been had they lived a much longer life!
BJ Thomas covered this song in 1966 and that is when I first heard of Hank Williams. Never stopped listening
I'm five months late to the party, but I strongly recommend Hank Williams' "Lost Highway". Outstanding song that Tom Petty did a very good cover of. He loved that song.
Oh, Mr. Hank Williams, Sr. He is old country for sure. Hank Jr got it honest. I love this sad, sad song. 😊 Respect to Mr Hank Sr.
Woe that is old pure country!! Hank senior was the man! Loved Hank !!!
Hank Williams wrote and sang a song called "Kalija". It was re-sung by many singers, but I think the best to ever sing that song was Charlie Pride. Charlie Pride is another one who you should check out. Especially "Cotton Picking Delta Town".

Hank Sr. was the first super star. His songs painted a picture. The greatest of all time. Jr. has been my favorite since 1964.
Hank Sr. wrote and sang Kaw-liga.
Charley Pride later covered it. Have you reacted to any Charley Pride?
Charley had a lot of hits. My dad particularly liked _Kiss An Angel Good Morning._ After hearing it on the radio at work, he stopped at Ace Record after work to buy the single to give to my mom.
Hank Williams. I love his music.
You should check out Hank Williams "kaw-liga". Theres a reason hes so highly regarded. This man could literally sing about anything and make it a number one. Unfortunate that he died at 29, who knows where he could have ended up
Now I know why I respect your reactions, you are a good and honest man.
Dude, I've been in Nuevo Mexico for 52 Years! Farmington! It's the wild, wild, west and I love it here. You gotta miss the Chile! All the old generation whether Mexican, Old Spaniard or gringo used to dress like that. The Natives are still cowboy. This state is unique, and I've lived all over. The saying here in Farmington is you can leave but you'll always come back. Via con Dios muchacho!
Hank Sr. grew up around Rufus “Tee tot” Payne..A blues man from Alabama.
My grandpa use to pull out his old gibson and pick some Hank Sr. And sing. Brings back some old memories!! Hank Sr. Has a song that goes" Hey good lookin' what ya got cookin'? How bout cookin' something up with me?.... i cant reme.ber the name of it, lil.
It's "Hey Good Looking"
Need to react to all 3 hanks! Hank Sr, Jr, And the III sing Long Gone Daddy.
You want to be mind blow. Check out Hank the 3rd and how he not only looks like his grandpa but sounds eerie like him too. He does more hillbilly rock style but stays true to his strong country roots!
Seriously check it out
Long Gone Daddy by all 3 Hanks🤙🏻
What is hank llls best cd?
This is true classic country. He was a great songwriter and I could not take listening to this in my youth but I appreciate him now
Hank was so great! 😃
Thanks - this is a classic by the original Hank Williams.. and so beautiful and soulful... his son is a pale shadow, trading on his dad's name... appreciate your listen...

My meemaw and granddad Would play this album all the time. And also loved playing patty page tennessee waltz you should react to that
I'm so happy you checked out this classic!!
Speaking of Loretta Lynn, you should watch the movie, COAL Miners Daughter, based on her song. It's her life story!! You'll feel an even greater pull to her once you do!! Love yah BP!!
This was one of my Mama's favorite singers,next to Ernest Tubb. Thank you for sharing this with us all ❤.
Jambalaya on the Bayou is my favorite Hank song.
His death at the age of 29 deprived us of who knows haw many great songs.
Hank is the King. His music is still popular after all this time. He was born with spinal bifod my daught was also born with it had surgery when she was 7 days old. She is in pain everybut refuses to take pain meds. Love Hank
Did you ever see a robin weep/When leaves begin to die?/Like me, he's lost the will to live/I'm so lonesome I could cry. That line hits hard. Been there.
Possible the most beautiful song ever recorded
In the 2nd grade, I sang “Hey Hey Good Lookin” at a talent show, lol. This is the music I grew up listening to.
