I've introduced my baby nephew to all the old good music. Like Hank Williams for instance. My nephew which is almost 3 loves his music and sings it. I wish more people loved real music like the few of us in this world...
so sad i didnt get to live in his time... gosh this new generation sucks so much! now a days music is all about the thythm, beats and teckno stuff. WHERE has all real music gone to! the stories that meant something, the sound that touches our heart! now i have to dig deep for good music! :/
Don't much care if Grand Ole Opry reinstates Hank. I love Hank, don't much care for the Grand Ole Opry. Whenever I think of Hank, I remember my dad, who loved Hank. Whenever I think of Grand Ole Opry, I think of conservative politics taking from us little people and giving it to the rich, the exact opposite of what Hank was about.
We have a vid of the new Hank co-written song on our channel. Glenn Tubb got the lyrics from Audrey and the song was not finished and released till last year
I'm so lonesome, cold cold heart, move it on over -- these songs are HW's autobiography. he wrote a song every time he was spurned, scorned or sliced up like baloney. But the man was a crazed alcoholic. He once drank a quart of denatured rubbing alcohol mixed into a giant bowl of tomato juice after his bandmates took away all his liquor and locked him in a hotel room to keep him sober for a gig. aint it a shame.
Hank was Daddy's favorite hillbilly singer. I only saw Daddy cry 3 times in my life...when his father died, when Hank died, and his foxhound, Hank, died.
Nobody has that swagger, not even Presley. If you don't get it, then just move along. There are plenty of Lady CA CA videos for you.
The only way you can berate Hank is from the privacy of your bedroom, with a keyboard. I double dog dare you to do it in public. You know what you would get.
Nashville WAKE UP!!!!!! We the People demand, need, and desire more like that as Hank Sr.. Time to give up the murder on music row, and give to those who have been here when you were out.
Just imagine what more great music we would have had had Hank lived a litle bit longer. No matter what that silly Hall of Fame says or does, we all know that Hank is & always will be The King of country. Thank for posting this awesome song!
A genuine talent and star. There is a video biography of him available on vhs (probably find it on ebay). There was also a biographical film starring George Hamilton IV which I thought was really good. His lyrics are totally amazing - Im so lonesome I could cry is so original - love it.
i dont know if theres any movies on hank williams sr but if somebodys got the money and the right people i bet they could make a damn good oscar awarding movie about him, be a cool dribute to the good ole boy
Is it true that there is a backward message in this song? I've heard that if you play it backwards you clearly hear: "I, white Zombie, ruler of nation, shall pave the way for white supremacy. Give the universe to Lucifer, dark lord. To hell with christ! Now, go fuck yourself!". Have anybody heard about this?
i kno a ole timer used to rent his house to him n he said there was more than one occasion in the late hours of the night hanks drunk shootin up the place lol n he said he was a hell of a poker player always drunk 2 lol rip hank
So there was this crazy party at my ESTATE last night, which was located next to a TERMINAL, in AFGHAN, just 10 miles from a local QUARRY. Everyone was totally wasted. The place was like a SCRAPYARD. There was this girl that said she wanted to DERAIL me. So i went to a RUNDOWN hotel in FAVELA, there was RUST everywhere. I felt her KARACHI, it was bare like a WASTELAND. The feeling gave me a HIGHRISE. I then entered her UNDERPASS, went so deep i hit her SUB BASE. She love the INVASION
totally irrelevant comment (regarding this great documentary) but where the hell is the "history" function in these new youtube pages????? help, anyone?
When you listen to prime eras of every genre in Country, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Broadway, etc. - all to be equally appreciated in their ongoing fertility, relevance and individualism. They may not be the roots, themselves, but the roots to so much of what forms our culture. And they sound real, and real good to me now!
Man I dont get why these ut comments turn into nasty fights, then dirty brawls. You all should keep that at home, YOUR homes not mine. Hank go spook em.
Are you certain?!! Are there any musisians who do noot or have not done those things? Geeesusss, each and every Country song ever writen preaches alcohol, and all that. You can't be right. People, is this right?
@neatoauctions i signed a petition acouple of months ago. his grandson(hank the 3rd) has a facebook page dedicated to restoring Sr to his rightful place. And they let Rascall Fatts in the hall....tsk tsk
You "signed a petition"?!! What about those who are IN the CM Hall of Fame?!! It is they who should insist that their name be withdrawn from the Hall, and let the walls of that organization crumble unless Williams is placed back into the exalted position he once held. Period.
Except for a very few C&W songs and the complete soundtrack of Smokey & the Bandit, I don't even like C&W music. Yet, Hank Williams is SOLID GOLD. (and Jerry Reed too, of course)
@iagmule Rascal Flatts are not Country Music Hall of Fame members. The guidelines state that an act must have at least 20 years charting history before even being eligible for induction. That makes RF out for at least another decade. Nor are they Opry members, for which they are eligible. (Lester Flatts is an Opry member and also an CMHoF member, but no Rascals just yet.)
@rebafan1983 understood and i appreciate the clarification. somebody needs to tell his son and grandson about hank sr still being in the hall of fame because they and alot of other people (myself included) are under the opinion that he membership was revoked. and because i cant help myself, any musician who has highlights and a revolving drum riser has no business with the name country. LOL cant help it, i helped produce a music video for rascall fatts and i wanted to vomit.
@iagmule LOL. He is and always will be in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Induction into the Hall of Fame is a lifetime one. You're likely thinking of the inane petition to reinstate Hank into the Grand Ole Opry. Since he cannot perform even once (well below the Opry's mandatory annual number) this is very impossible. Long live the legend of the greatest figure country music has ever known.
@iagmule well, he's in the country music hall of fame, he he hasn't ever been restored to the grand ole opry, which sticks in hank III's craw, he wrote a song about it.
and if you have autism I can accept that, but that doesn't give you the right to say that Johny Cash was better he was great But HANK WILLIAMS IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME LET'S MAKE NO MISTAKE MY FRIEND!! Hank is the greatest and he will be that forever and Johny Cash had a longer life so he could sing more and then came pop and rock so he could sing that too in Hank's time there was no pop or something lik that that's why!
Without Hank Williams there was no Cash, Waylon, Kenny Rogers, Elvis, Beatles and the list goes on. Make no mistake about it...HANK WILLIAMS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY SINGER THAT EVER LIVED!
You know who influenced the great Hank Williams? Yep two people who were also great Country artists Ernest Tubb and Roy Acuff, so were before him also.
Hank transcended race and socio-economic status. . . as a black woman born in 1961, I grew up hearing his music in my home, along with Patsy Cline and several other country greats. Thank God my mother had excellent taste in music!
The truth hurts Nobody sang the truth like Hank Sr. No matter how convoluted the blood lines have ran...nobody can outrun the truth. Sometimes it takes a man who is standing in the middle of a messed up lifestyle to proclaim the truth.
love it...awesome vid....like the background with it and truly an awesome country legend.....like the re-make of Honky Tonk Blues from Linda Rondstadt and Huey Lewis & the News as well....
Hank is in my top twenty, but here is my top ten: 1. Johnny Cash 2. Elvis Presley 3. Ricky Nelson 4. Carl Perkins 5. Jerry Lee Lewis 6. Roy Orbison 7. Buddy Holly 8. Conway Twitty 9. Charlie Rich 10. Willie Nelson
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
People have their own opinions. By the way what do you think about my twenty now?: 11. Waylon Jennings 12. Kenny Rogers 13. Kris Kristofferson 14. Merle Haggard 15. Carl Smith 16. George Jones 17. Hank Williams 18. Hank Williams Jr. 19. Ernest Tubb 20. Buck Owens
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
My top twenty: 11. Waylon Jennings 12. Kenny Rogers 13. Kris Kristofferson 14. Merle Haggard 15. Carl Smith 16. George Jones 17. Hank Williams 18. Hank Williams Jr 19. Ernest Tubb 20. Buck Owens And I am not kidding.
I totally don't agree my nuimber 1 is Hank Williams an d he will be that forever and you know what. He is the best and he will be the greatest forever because of him and Jimmie rodgers there is country music don't forget that!!
You wonder why Johnny Cash is my number one and to me will always be the greatest? That is becuase I have Autism, and when I was 6 months old I had headphones placed on my head with his music playing through them. It was the only thing that would soothe me at the time. Also his music was therapy in helping me learn to talk and read, amoung other things.
Also Johnny Cash crossed all musical boundaries successfully, and made whatever he sang his own. He also created his own subgenre. Can you say the same about Hank Williams? No he only sang Country. Johnny Cash sang Rock N Roll, Country, Blues, Folk, Gospel, amoung other things. And Country Music came about not because of Hank Williams, but because of Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. Don't get me wrong Hank is great, but Johnny is better for obvious reasons.
Hank didn't sing gospel? Hmm. I don't think you know much about Hank Williams. Was Hank around as long as Johnny? Ok, let's not be so quick to judge what he didn't accomplish.
I didn't say that, so do not put words in my mouth that I did not say. I know Hank sang Gospel, such as "I Saw The Light," but all I said was he did not cross as many boundaries as Johnny Cash.
Hank Williams is the greatest and he will be that forever no discussion.. And Roy Acuff didn't inspire or motivate him that was by himself his own soul let Hank did this He met Roy Acuff later in his life but then he was a starc already and then he came into contact with Roy Acuff because he was a star and because he was so great they were goin' to work together and sing songs together so you really don't know anything about Sir Hank our lord of country.
Have you heard that people who have Autism are better at one specific thing than others, and for me that is music. I have a chance for a major recording contract, but also I know a whole heck of a lot about singers, groups and bands. So don't tell me I do not know what I am talking about. Why don't you read up on singers and stuff through things like I did, internet, books, magazines, amoung other things. I will not continue this arguement any further. Just keep that in mind.
"Can you say the same about Hank Williams? No he only sang Country. Johnny Cash sang Rock N Roll, Country, Blues, Folk, Gospel, amoung other things."
Yeah, you did say that. Don't hide behind Autism either. If you are man enough to come throwing shit around, then don't be surprised when someone calls you on it & don't use Autism as some excuse or get out of jail card. Yeah, I suggest you don't continue the argument because I will hand your ass to you.
Let's roll out the carpet for all the people with afflictions. Your kid made sure he told everyone he has autism. That is no shield. Don't expect to go unchallenged just because of it & especially don't expect it if you throw it out there looking for sympathy because you will get none with that attitude.
Elvis once said "I'm so lonesome I could cry" was thae saddest song he'd ever heard...
Hank's music will always be the true sound of country music.

and if you have autism I can accept that, but that doesn't give you the right to say that Johny Cash was better he was great But HANK WILLIAMS IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME LET'S MAKE NO MISTAKE MY FRIEND!! Hank is the greatest and he will be that forever and Johny Cash had a longer life so he could sing more and then came pop and rock so he could sing that too in Hank's time there was no pop or something lik that that's why!
Bless Hank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without Hank Williams there was no Cash, Waylon, Kenny Rogers, Elvis, Beatles and the list goes on. Make no mistake about it...HANK WILLIAMS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY SINGER THAT EVER LIVED!

Hank transcended race and socio-economic status. . . as a black woman born in 1961, I grew up hearing his music in my home, along with Patsy Cline and several other country greats. Thank God my mother had excellent taste in music!

Good music trancends all things C&T and 'soul' isn't just something invented by James Brown, it's in us all.

The truth hurts Nobody sang the truth like Hank Sr. No matter how convoluted the blood lines have ran...nobody can outrun the truth. Sometimes it takes a man who is standing in the middle of a messed up lifestyle to proclaim the truth.

Hank sang the truth, but the one who I think sang the truth the most was Johnny Cash.

I totally don't agree my nuimber 1 is Hank Williams an d he will be that forever and you know what. He is the best and he will be the greatest forever because of him and Jimmie rodgers there is country music don't forget that!!
R.I.P Hank Williams!
ElivGizzle9 2 years ago
You wonder why Johnny Cash is my number one and to me will always be the greatest? That is becuase I have Autism, and when I was 6 months old I had headphones placed on my head with his music playing through them. It was the only thing that would soothe me at the time. Also his music was therapy in helping me learn to talk and read, amoung other things.
NelsonPerkins32 2 years ago
Also Johnny Cash crossed all musical boundaries successfully, and made whatever he sang his own. He also created his own subgenre. Can you say the same about Hank Williams? No he only sang Country. Johnny Cash sang Rock N Roll, Country, Blues, Folk, Gospel, amoung other things. And Country Music came about not because of Hank Williams, but because of Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. Don't get me wrong Hank is great, but Johnny is better for obvious reasons.
NelsonPerkins32 2 years ago
Hank didn't sing gospel? Hmm. I don't think you know much about Hank Williams. Was Hank around as long as Johnny? Ok, let's not be so quick to judge what he didn't accomplish.
seeitasitis 2 years ago
I didn't say that, so do not put words in my mouth that I did not say. I know Hank sang Gospel, such as "I Saw The Light," but all I said was he did not cross as many boundaries as Johnny Cash.
NelsonPerkins32 2 years ago
Hank Williams is the greatest and he will be that forever no discussion.. And Roy Acuff didn't inspire or motivate him that was by himself his own soul let Hank did this He met Roy Acuff later in his life but then he was a starc already and then he came into contact with Roy Acuff because he was a star and because he was so great they were goin' to work together and sing songs together so you really don't know anything about Sir Hank our lord of country.

Have you heard that people who have Autism are better at one specific thing than others, and for me that is music. I have a chance for a major recording contract, but also I know a whole heck of a lot about singers, groups and bands. So don't tell me I do not know what I am talking about. Why don't you read up on singers and stuff through things like I did, internet, books, magazines, amoung other things. I will not continue this arguement any further. Just keep that in mind.
NelsonPerkins32 2 years ago
"Can you say the same about Hank Williams? No he only sang Country. Johnny Cash sang Rock N Roll, Country, Blues, Folk, Gospel, amoung other things."
Yeah, you did say that. Don't hide behind Autism either. If you are man enough to come throwing shit around, then don't be surprised when someone calls you on it & don't use Autism as some excuse or get out of jail card. Yeah, I suggest you don't continue the argument because I will hand your ass to you.

NelsonPerkins32 2 years ago
Let's roll out the carpet for all the people with afflictions. Your kid made sure he told everyone he has autism. That is no shield. Don't expect to go unchallenged just because of it & especially don't expect it if you throw it out there looking for sympathy because you will get none with that attitude.
