@@finallythere100 Country artists from back in the day had very distinctive voices. You can always tell who they are. Today? I can't tell one from the other. I'm sure the record companies are putting out what sells and that's why they sound the same. Long time Hank fan here.
Hank Sr. will tear your heart out. Try "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." He also wrote "I Saw the Light." Classic country, such a tragic figure, died so young.
I saw the light is 1 of my favorite hymnals, Hank Williams wrote this song too! Love it! If you haven't seen the movie "I Saw The Light", it's a movie based on his life, up till the day that he died, it's a great movie, I think I've watched it at least 50+ times, if you haven't seen it before, it's a must see, in my opinion!
I will say it again Hank is the GREATEST country singer and songwriter of all time... You can have your opinion, that's fine... Ernest Tubb was one of his influences Hank said that but Hank out did Ernest on EVERYTHING... I won't be drawn into an online debate Hank still outsales Jimmie Rogers Bob Wills AND Tubb combined!
Hank Williams had a lot of great stuff. Hey Good Lookin, Cold, Cold Heart, Move It On Over, Lovesick Blues, I Saw The Light, Jambalaya several others. If you are going down the Country rabbit hole, he's probably the place to start.
Hank Williams, Sr. known as the Hillybilly Shakespeare. Shawn and Mel, this is a rabbit hole you need to explore. Also, he has an album of songs under the name of Luke the Drifter. So many heartfelt songs on there that are also worth exploring.
Hank Senior is the King of country music , he’s before our time yet timeless ,So Lonesome I could Cry I agree should be next . Love smiles and good vibes 🤗❤️🙂
Love watching you two react to some of the greats of Country Music. You know what happens when you play a country record backwards? You get your girl back, your dog back, your truck back, and your job back. Most country music tells a story, with a lot of heartache.
Lots of tears shed over Hank Williams songs ! He had so many songs, it is hard to choose which is my favourite, Hey Goodlooking is a great one & I’ so Lonesome I Could Cry will hit you hard 😀💞 !
I absolutely love seeing younger men and women like yourselves discovering the great music of the past generations and keeping it alive. Please keep doing what you do. It was attributed to no less an authority than B. B. King that Hank Williams Sr. was one of the greatest blues singers ever. And you should listen to Hank on "I Saw The Light"
I learned about Hank Williams from my Dad who just was amazed at his voice and my dad would sing this when he had a few , my dad had a great voice also ♥️
The King of Country - Hank Williams! Imagine if he had lived to be 76 and how many more hits he would have produced. There is a unique story behind this song. Hank and his drifting cowboys only ran through the song once during the recording. Hank said that was perfect, let's go home, boys. It was one of the last songs recorded by Hank and I don't believe he sang it in concert or with his drifting cowboys. After Hank died, a DJ accidentally played the wrong side of the record (Your Cheatin Heart). Many folks loved it and requested it to be played again and again. It became a hit and Hank never got to see it hit the top of the charts for about 6 weeks.
And now you ve heard country. Hank williams was a superstar in the late 40 s and early 50s . He wrote some songs in just a few min cause he lived the pain in them. He died young . What a loss. No tellin what he could have given us. This is country. Period!!-dan1/19/22
One of the great legends & pioneers of early country music from the 40's-50's. He had a lot of great songs including "Move It On Over", "Lovesick Blues", "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Hey, Good Lookin'", "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" etc. On New Year's Day 1953, he suffered from heart failure & died suddenly at the age of 29. He had a short career but left a great legacy of music.
Actually he was clean & sober at the time of his death. Autopsy results showed he died of a heart attack due to his prior abuse of alcohol, morphine & chlor hydrates which wrecked havoc on his heart . The combination just weakened his heart so much & that led to the heart attack.
Every song this man ever did touches me. THIS is Country music. Hank Williams is the epitome of Country music. All of those who came after him should bow down to him.
Now you need to listen to Hank Williams, Jr. "Family Tradition". Sr. died when Jr. was three years old. At the age of eight, his mother pushed him to perform and the country music establishment tried to turn him into his father. When he later rebelled (after nearly killing himself) his doctor told him to tell them to go to hell and sing his own music, they black balled him. He showed them in 1982 when he had nine albums on the charts. He is still performing and has a great album called The Three Hanks. He and his son, Hank III, singing together to Sr.'s songs.
Hank Williams!!! He is the ideal song writer, singer of the time. My favorite song of his is called "Hey Good Lookin" Reminds me of chocolate chip cookies.
You nailed it. It ain’t about country music. It’s people music. I love Hank because his music speak to the common experience we all share. The human condition. I’ve always viewed him as one of the greatest American poets. It was a pleasure to see it hit you two, too. Thanks, and good work :-). I loved this music and I know several dozen more who have too. The I’m so lonesome suggestion is spot on, but I also heard the word dark used. If you like dark, check out “Rambling Man” Oh! And yes! Old country is by far superior. It’s true honky tonk
Thank you both for playing this great song with Hank Williams one of the all time great Country singers and yes this was Country Soul now listen to I'm So Lonesome I could Cry
Thank you so much for playing this song, my mother passed away a year ago, July 30th she was 88yrs old,this was one of her favorite Hank Williams songs, I still have her Hank Williams album sitting on a table in my living room, she was an amazing woman,she raised 13children on her own, after my dad died,ages 3yrs to18 yrs old were the kids ages. Brought back so many great memories when I was listening to this song! Y'all are so awesome and Wonderful people, thank you so much! Speaking of old country music, even before Hank Williams was Ernest Tubb, Walking the Floor Over You & Waltz Across Texas! He was the real Texas Troubadour!
When he first went to meet a producer the guy didn't think Hank wrote his own songs. So he told him to write a song about seeing an ex walking by him on the street, while the producer took Ms. Audrey (Hank's wife) to lunch. When they got back & producer opened the door there sat Hank in the producers chair & feet on desk & this is what came out of Hank. Listen to "I can't help it if I still in Love with you"
Country legend. Such a shame he drank himself to death. Incredible how timeless his music is and will forever live on. The good die young is true. Check out “Cold Cold Heart”
Hank Williams was an absolute sensation back in his day. My first two albums I ever owned were Patti Page Greatest Hits and Hank Williams' Greatest Hits. "Cold Cold Heart" is also a great tune.
My dad was from Ducktown, TN and I grew up listening to all this great old raw country music. I suggest “Kawliga” and “Move It On Over” for some fun 🤩 ☮️🌻❤️🙏🏼
The Hillbilly Shakespeare. All music can trace back to this man. He had hits long after he died. And the royalties from others singing his song rolled in for Miss Audrey and his son Hank Jr. The man new pain like nobody else. One Sunday afternoon try his song, "I Saw The Light."
I love your reaction to this song! You don't have to say anything. Your expressions say it all. Hank was such an influence to blues and rock. Today's country performers could learn a thing or two from Hank.
I said a million times and I'll keep saying it. Hank Williams sang some of the best blues songs ever. The song I can't help it if I'm still in love with you guys way to close to home
This song was released after Hank’s death at age 29. There was no rehearsal, Hank went into the studio and showed his band the new song he wrote. He told Don Helms to give him that awesome intro you can hear on the steal guitar. Hank sang the song and when finished he told them that it was good enough and he left the studio after only one recording of your cheating heart. His band never seen Hank alive again. Hanks big hit on the radio when he died was “ “Ill never get out of this World Alive.”
Old country music was raw, and to the point. I love old country music. The more you listen to it, the more you will crave its style and appealing stories. The songs are as relevant today, as they were back then.
I love Hank I grew up listening to him my dad wasnt around in his era but he loves all kinds of music I recommend listening to picture from lifes other side and thy burdens are greater than mine by Hank theres so many good ones you got to be in a certain mood to listen to Hank though hes very melancholy
Hank Williams Jr sounded & dressed just like his dad after he died cause his mom & dad's band wanted him too. And he was so good.Then he said he wanted his own sound & not want to dress like dad & he & mom had huge fight he moved out & became his own star & very famous.
Mr. Williams, from Montgomery, Alabama, was a singer and songwriter. His brief but powerful influence on Country music has been featured in books, songs and movies. His son, Junior, is also a singer/songwriter began his career as a boy singing his father's hit songs. Other notable country artists like Alan Jackson sang a tribute ghost story song, "Midnight in Montgomery" and David Allen Cole sang another ghost story song of Williams featuring the iconic line, "....and them sad old songs comin' out of them speakers was solid country gold."
Great song but I love Im so Lonsome I can Cry it touches your heart and you feel the emotion . PLease give a listen He also wrote his songs and he wrote I Saw the Light one of the greatest gospel songs ever his music is timeless
for so many decades (Im 46) Ive tried to get My friends to listen to old Country like this only to be told that it was trash and because it was old they wouldnt even give it a try. Im so glad so many of yall reactors are discovering just how good that old Music is.
Don Helms the steel player said he sang it for the band in the studio, they came up with the music and they recorded it in one take. The last session he recorded. Died at 29.
Hank Williams was a very talented man with deep personal issues (he was an alcoholic and an addict) and you could feel his pain through his music. He died really young, at the age of 29 on Jan. 1, 1953, leaving behind two children, a son and daughter. His son Hank Williams Jr. is also a very talented country music singer. Both father and son and legends in the business. There is a great old movie about the life of Hank Williams Sr. starring a young George Hamilton named, Your Cheating Heart (1964). My favorite Hank Williams Tune is I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.💖💖
Love Hank Williams (along with Hank Jr. & Hank III) Try Hank Sr's "Jambalaya" next. It's a favorite down in the bayou :-) My lil cousin (4yo at the time) performed this song w/Hank Jr. many years ago. Check it out, easy to find it on YT.
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is one of the best country songs you'll ever hear a man sing.
Facts
Amen. Never heard a more complete song.
Completely agree!!!
Probably the best song you will hear anybody sing ever
Awsome song
The simple elegance of "Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams is a fine example of the beauty in the early days of country music.
Yes pure artistry and raw heart. 👍
Look at it now, they all sound the same basically
@@terrik9510 - Makes me cringe today the "country" music. They have reduced it to moronic caricature. The vast majority of it, anyway. I think this one is my favorite of Hanks Sr... Has ALL the elements of legendary country music. I enjoyed their reaction. Watching another discover the joy is like experiencing it first time (second hand!) all over again. :)
@@finallythere100 Country artists from back in the day had very distinctive voices. You can always tell who they are. Today? I can't tell one from the other. I'm sure the record companies are putting out what sells and that's why they sound the same. Long time Hank fan here.
@@terrik9510 - Yep, all they have to do is give a fake, exaggerated twang as they talk of drinking beer and pick up trucks.
O. M. G. That voice. Those words. Amaizing!
I like jumbalaya, Say Hey good lookingBy Hank Williams
Hank Sr. will tear your heart out. Try "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." He also wrote "I Saw the Light." Classic country, such a tragic figure, died so young.

Yes, but he destroyed his life on his own! He was a morphine addict and alcoholic who cheated on his wife! He paid his life from his action.
Thank you🙂 The undisputed King of Country Blues.
Hank really was one in trillion literally the greatest country musician of all time hands down... He's so far ahead the game nobody is second!
100000000%
EH ....bro he would not have known how to tie his shoes with out Jimmie rodgers, ernest Tubb, and BOB WILLS
I will say it again Hank is the GREATEST country singer and songwriter of all time... You can have your opinion, that's fine... Ernest Tubb was one of his influences Hank said that but Hank out did Ernest on EVERYTHING... I won't be drawn into an online debate Hank still outsales Jimmie Rogers Bob Wills AND Tubb combined!
@@DanShouse0607 you are wrong. That's fine.
Like I said before I know what the facts are you do too you just want an argument which I will not give you.. Do you work for the Grand ol' Opry?
Because of his writing skills, Hank has been called the Hillbilly Shakespeare.
I'd say it was well-deserved!
Hank Williams had a lot of great stuff. Hey Good Lookin, Cold, Cold Heart, Move It On Over, Lovesick Blues, I Saw The Light, Jambalaya several others. If you are going down the Country rabbit hole, he's probably the place to start.
Hank Williams, Sr. known as the Hillybilly Shakespeare. Shawn and Mel, this is a rabbit hole you need to explore. Also, he has an album of songs under the name of Luke the Drifter. So many heartfelt songs on there that are also worth exploring.
The ultimate distinct and most recognized voice in all country music. The roots of CM🤘❤️ Hail Mr williams
Hank Senior is the King of country music , he’s before our time yet timeless ,So Lonesome I could Cry I agree should be next . Love smiles and good vibes 🤗❤️🙂
My favorite country western song Hank William Jr. sang is Family Tradition. Love,love,love it!
He’s called the Hillbilly Shakespeare. The songs are very deep and emotional and universal

@Shawn and Mel- Hank Williams was a legend. He sadly died way to young. He was only 29 when he died. Hey good looking was another great song of his.
"I can't help it if I"m still in love with you" is another great one of Hank Williams songs.
Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr. -Theres a tear in my beer

He was on his way to Canton Ohio to play a little venue called The Palace Theater
He OD'd on pain meds
Move it on over was covered by George Thorogood!
Actually he was clean & sober at the time of his death. Autopsy results showed he died of a heart attack due to his prior abuse of alcohol, morphine & chlor hydrates which wrecked havoc on his heart . The combination just weakened his heart so much & that led to the heart attack.
@@sheilamatthews7349 The story I heard is that his back was bothering him & they stopped to get pain medication. Am I mistaken?

The undefeated,undisputed king of country.
Hank Williams was a very talented man with deep personal issues (he was an alcoholic and an addict) and you could feel his pain through his music. He died really young, at the age of 29 on Jan. 1, 1953, leaving behind two children, a son and daughter. His son Hank Williams Jr. is also a very talented country music singer. Both father and son and legends in the business. There is a great old movie about the life of Hank Williams Sr. starring a young George Hamilton named, Your Cheating Heart (1964). My favorite Hank Williams Tune is I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.💖💖
Yes, Mel, old country is waaaay better!!😎😎😎😎
Check out Howlin at the moon!! Lighter side of Hank Williams.
I love that song
The Shakespearian Cowboy.
I've always loved the lyrics to his song, "Settin' the woods on fire." Great song.

So nice to see youngsters like you two enjoying the oldies.😁
