Many fans remain unaware that Hank wrote much of his material. So talented.. So tragic that he died so young. Will be loved and admired long after I am gone, and as I am now 87, won't be too long before I join Hank. England, February, 2024.
Hank Williams had been around a long time and was my dad's musical hero. One day my mom said "yeah he was pretty good but he sang out of his nose" and my dad says "I don't care if he sings out of his b*** he's still the best country artist ever" lol R.I.P. DAD n HANK.
I keep debating the KING of country, but they won't accept Hank Williams SR. I don't get it. I guess they are not educated in country music.....and I love rock music.
I love George Strait. But Hank Sr. is the fucking Beethoven of Country. That hard-ass painful Country music that was more about your heart than your pickup truck. Strait was above all that, but can't compete with Hank Sr.
@@lukeskywalker9060 used to sit in rocking chair with grandma Thompson & listen to this all growing up those young years next to the cotton field we did just like being back in Oklahoma where the good old hardworking honest Okies that my family came from. Living in Indian territory, there must have been something between us Okies & Indians.
Don Helms the best steel player ever, period. My uncle opened for Hank a number of times on WSFA radio in Montgomery before Hank made it big. He told me once no one could work a crowd like Hank.
I became a fan in an odd way. George Thorogood and Linda Ronstadt covered his songs. I just happened to come across an 8-track tape of Hank's greatest hits my Father had stored away. I played it, and that was it. The year: 1983. I was almost 20. (Was in October)
the Red Hot Chili Peppers did a crazy version of this on their very first album.. when I was getting back into their old stuff a few years ago I realised it was a Hank cover and it got me (back into) him as well !
Here because of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Years of listening and never knew that it was a cover of this song. Wow, did they put such a twist on their cover of this song. So unexpected but greatly and creatively done!!!
Raven Rose it's little "country" boys who just want to become rich and famous so the extort people's ears for fame by singing about every generic "country" boy thing, all while they stray further and further from the heart and soul of what once made up country. These are sad times ☹️
First time I heard this song was back in 1971 while watching the movie "The Last Picture Show." That was my intro to Hank Williams. I had not heard of him until then. I was 17 years of age and I soaked up every song of the guitar.
Hank, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Eddie Cochrane, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin...all gone before 30....and any one of them had far more talent than the ENTIRE music "industry" today !!!
@@ITILII they should have protected themselves and thusly their talent more. Shooting up can make one forget they just did and that's where overdoses kill. Talented brilliant but very stupid reckless people. They were just beginning to make their way in life. The young think they're indestructible. There's only so much serotonin in our nervous systems and when it's all used up, you're long gone into eternal suicidal depression. Worth the cost? The needle is for terminal cases, to help get through final days of pain. You would not want to become immune. If you need any more than a reefer or beer, something's wrong.
Well, why don't you love me like you used to do How come you treat me like a worn out shoe My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue Why don't you love me like you used to do Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' In a long, long while We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile Why don't you spark me like you used to do And say sweet nothin's like you used to coo I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through So, why don't you love me like you used to do Well, why don't you be just like you used to be How come you find so many faults with me Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue Why don't you love me like you used to do Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' In a long, long while We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile Why don't you say the things you used to say What makes you treat me like a piece of clay My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue Why don't you love me like you used to do
I clicked on this one thinking that I haven't heard it before, then all of a sudden it started coming back to me. It was weird, almost like I had only dreamed that I heard it before.
Songs like this by good ole 'artists' as Hank Williams should have the millions of views - not angry negative ghetto crap. Hank was like one of the father's of Country. This was such a good song. I wish we could slam on the brakes and turn this country back to the past better days. But sadly that's not gonna happen. We've lost something, something that was really good once.
@@thepreacher9895 He wasn't? Excuse me for my disrepectful comment, pal. I don't know much about him really. He made it big back in the 70's, so I thought he was part of that outlaw movement. Many people state that outlaw country was the start of corporate Nashville mess. He wrote great songs though.
I like the piano in this version. My dad was a Hank Williams fan when I grew up in the early 60's so I got to hear these neat songs. It was only lately that I came to really appreciate the great song writing ability he had and why he is such a legend. I cannot stand the talent mocking buffoonery on the radio today and it has caused me to go back and listen to these old classics with renewed appreciation. Tell you something else--we don't have catchy melodies on the radio today. All they do is spew out notes all over the place and the songs really go nowhere. I just love how he could use 3 simple chords over again but sing amazing melodies over those chords for unique and different songs.Hank is a world class songwriter and performer!
❤Always wonderful.to.listen to. Hank was.a geniius..05.2024
My husband has cancer and he has changed understandable so we make jokes and ol hank helped us along
Thanks and God Bless
How's your husband now Amelia?

he worked with Fred Rose from Acuff Rose music publishers, Fred Rose was a song doctor and helped Hank according to Waylon Jennings
@@michaelsix9684 Thank you. Much appreciated.
"My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue. Why don't you love me like you used to do""
Great line.
Old Hank had more talent in his little finger than THE WHOLE MUSIC INDRUSTY today have.
No doubt about it
Hank Williams - The King of Country.
Agreed but to me he is king of music!

He probably wrote this in a minute he was that talented. Damn
amen
As kids we use to sing, "my eyes are still curly and my hair is still blue". :P
I keep debating the KING of country, but they won't accept Hank Williams SR. I don't get it. I guess they are not educated in country music.....and I love rock music.

We no longer have real country music. Same old city beat!
Ladies and Gentlemen,... The KING of country music; Mr Hank Williams.
This man IS Country Music
I love George Strait. But Hank Sr. is the fucking Beethoven of Country. That hard-ass painful Country music that was more about your heart than your pickup truck. Strait was above all that, but can't compete with Hank Sr.
Glenn Matuszewski Patsy Cline too.
makes you feel like he's been there
I like Hank Williams's great country music songs. He is one of the best country boys in America.
Glenn Campbell is up there too for me then John Denver but Hank is and will always be the best

@@ShaunaEwton maybe, that’s cool
And Johnny cash
Happy 99th Birthday,
Hiram Hank
🎻🎶🎸
Nobody but nobody could do it like hank
If Hank only knew how much staying power his music has. Just imagine if he had lived longer. So much more he had to give. We will never know.
he had so much to overcome, it's a miracle he did so much in such a short life
Don Helms the best steel player ever, period. My uncle opened for Hank a number of times on WSFA radio in Montgomery before Hank made it big. He told me once no one could work a crowd like Hank.
I concur about Don !
My father favourite singer brilliant
last picture show bought me here

One of the best country western singers of all time!
He was great they will never be another one like him so much talent rip hank
Happy 100th birthday sir. You are missed. 😢
Excellent as Usual 😉
"My eyes still blue, why dont you love me like you used to do? " true words today
Here because of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Years of listening and never knew that it was a cover of this song. Wow, did they put such a twist on their cover of this song. So unexpected but greatly and creatively done!!!
Hank Williams is the king of country
Sometimes I can't decide which was better, Hank or his Cowboys.
Ain't had no loving like a hugging and a kissing in a long long while 🎶
I wish country music was still country music like this. Not that pop country. What the hell is that!?
Raven Rose it's little "country" boys who just want to become rich and famous so the extort people's ears for fame by singing about every generic "country" boy thing, all while they stray further and further from the heart and soul of what once made up country. These are sad times ☹️
agreed,,,hate that new music,,
Frist. Heard. Hank. About. Nov. 1982. With love. Sick. Blues
I listened to this song when I was about 15 or 16. Hank could capture a young girl's heart. How great he was and Is.
Beautiful sound! Hank's voice and Don Helms' accompaniment. Sensational. Thanks for sharing.
Saddest song in the history of the world.
Heard this for the first time watching The Last Picture Show. Loved it ever since!
You got that right And I call that real blue eyed Soul 😘
Fantastic song One of the greatest Country and Western Songs ever! And probably the best song Hank Williams ever performed! 🤠🎙️🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🇺🇸
First time I heard this song was back in 1971 while watching the movie "The Last Picture Show." That was my intro to Hank Williams. I had not heard of him until then. I was 17 years of age and I soaked up every song of the guitar.

The KING a Country Music. Total MUST have for your Music Monday collection. Thank you for posting Jan!
He is the country GOD better than anything since he was around !!!
There will never be another like him
Hank, where are you!!! There'll never be another, NEVER!!

Remembering Hiram King "Hank" Williams. September 17, 1923 - January 1, 1953. Wonderful songwriter, singer. Too soon gone.
So true! I have his biography. 'Not sure if I can get through it. Some sad times.
yes indeed
amen!!!

Genius Hank Williams. He talked with God!
He Sang to God.
yes,,, the great hank williams
greatest singer of my life . greetings from Poland .....
Well, why don't you love me like you used to do
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you spark me like you used to do
And say sweet nothin's like you used to coo
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So, why don't you love me like you used to do
Well, why don't you be just like you used to be
How come you find so many faults with me
Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you say the things you used to say
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
i do love hank just hit wrong button s he is the best
Hank was the best, no one comes close
Amen, brother.
hank is the king !!!
johnny cash
R U kiddin'
Hes the best at depressing me and making me feel happy at the same time.
Listening to Hank Williams brings back thoughts of my dad , who lived this guy.😃
Hiram King Williams=The best there ever was and the best they ever will be..Hell I m only 34 and know that damn much!!!..
I started listening to this about age 6 , still listening at 60+ , my canaries love this song too!
It's really fun to play Hank Williams songs on the guitar with my buddy, great songs
That man could *SING*
Hank is King of COUNTRY MUSIC !
This is great Country Music...
Old timey.
Think every man out there in the world recognize himself in this song at some point in his life
I clicked on this one thinking that I haven't heard it before, then all of a sudden it started coming back to me. It was weird, almost like I had only dreamed that I heard it before.
I could listen to this song for eternity. I loved hearing it as the credits rolled at the end of the film Last Picture Show.
Thank you for saying it so well. Whoever scored that movie was a genius. Masterpiece.
It was a treat all round
Yep.
Thank you, Peter Bogdonavich
Yes and I loved the way it was spliced into the credits
Williams at his shit kickin' best....
Can't get enough of The Master!
First song I heard as a youngster. Brings back a flood of joyful memories. What a gift to humanity.
lena toledo first song I remember hearing was ballad of a teenage queen by Johnny cash
He was a rambler a drinking singing as country as you can get good ole boy. King of honky tonk..
LISTENING FROM BAYTOWN,TEXAS ❣️🎶
One of my All-Time Favorite songs by the Great Hank Williams. Smokey Binion, Jr.
No music like this in 2018 the old is always better 👍🏻 love this song love hank
No one comes close to Hank Williams except maybe Miss Patsy Cline.

How do you NOT like Hank!?!
The one and only Hank!!
One of my all-time favorite songs by the Great Hank Williams. Smokey Binion,Jr.
Just saw the Hank Williams biopic "I Saw The Light", good movie but sad.
Hank III does is grandaddy proud. Here's to the true outlaws.
Outlaw? Hank is much bigger than Nelson, Jennings and many other products of greedy Nashville.
@@nurkenrustem6044 LOL Jennings is a product of greedy Nashville? I dont believe we mean the same person.
Yes sir. Hank 3 😍
Happy birthday to Hank Sr this date
@@thepreacher9895 He wasn't? Excuse me for my disrepectful comment, pal. I don't know much about him really. He made it big back in the 70's, so I thought he was part of that outlaw movement.

I love all 3 hanks
The thing I like about it it's so ez to play
A legend in his own time
Excellent!
ME AND MY GRANDDADDY PLAY THIS SONG ON OUR GUITARS!!❤
This man wrote my life!
Used to listen to this song all the time in. The car love this song
If you get a chance to see Jason Petty perform. He brings Hank back to life. Not just the songs but stories from those who knew him.
I had this song on a old 78 record.👍👏
I love this. One of my favorite Hank Williams songs. Smokey Binion, Jr.
LPS was an American classic! This piece plays over the closing credits. Love his pedal steel guitarist!
Opening
Carlos, you're spot on. This is his best riff, simple elegance !
The best in country
Fabulous. Absolutely incredible.

I agree with you!! They didn't call him "The Hillbilly Shakespeare" for nothing!!
I grew up on this music...
Norm MacDonald summed it up best when he said the new country's gay. (I think Billy Joe shaver egged him on though!)
check out Cody Johnson from TX, he is great
he's the father of country music good thing his son continued his legacy god bless country
his grandson more so
Ur right!
Hank III rules. Looks like his granddad too.
MAGA
Classic!!
Hello Alice, How are you doing?
Steel guitar, piano, fiddle and Hank.,
Hank and cash and Hank Jr were the best
This guy was amazing,wish I could've met him,sadly he died before my time.
Last Picture Show brought me here
The Stereo Version from the 60's. Not many of these on UA-cam.
