Isn't it just amazing that this is how radio shows were back in the day with real artists and bands that actually played in studio for me i have not heard much of this being born in 1990 but that is how it should be not pre recorded bull that we hear on the radio now today.
thank goodness this old stuff was recorded, 1950 was only 60 years ago...so all the new music- filtered fabricated computer maintained music- have this old stuff to credit with making radio music so fun that it became big and grew..by the way, these old recording were made live at the radio staions and broadcast live, the band actually came to the station and performed and it was beamed out !!
@MrRazorblade999 I agree and I'm a huge Willie fan. Everything that Hank did was "hard core" and that is the edge that is so difficult to hone in music. In terms of most important American artists, nobody is higher than Hank, not even Elvis or Sinatra.
Hank Williams was simply an amazing talent..no other country musician is on his level...his ability to really "grab you" and give you goose bumps is something else ...what a shame he died so young..his pain comes through in all his songs .. you can just feel the sadness of a love that will never be again is crystal clear here..
@MrRazorblade999 It's funny, you are using the word "ignorance" in entirely the wrong context. Ignorant of what? I don't think you actually know what that word means you stupid old bastard, now fuck off back to whatever swamp you crawled out of.
@ClTIZEN You dumbass piece of shit learn some manners, at least us from the south have some class. I bet your just some yankee who listens to crap rap music and hip hop so you don't know what real music from the heart and soul is. Get a life moron you wouldn't stand a chance in Hank's shoes.
@vmr2017 You bet I'm some yankee? All you fucking yanks are the same. If I'm not some trailer trash inbred overweight uneducated swamp dweller, I'm some fucking liberal gay child molesting anti-american cunt? Is that what you think? I'm not even from your fucking country. Get yourself a fucking education, there are almsot 200 countries in the world, and yours is just one of them. It's the ignorant cunts like you and your fucking dumb christian family who give USA a bad name.
@ClTIZEN Dude I am none of those things, and I never directly called you a yankee but I said you probably are one. And I don't believe in all the Christianity beliefs I am a spiritual person. To us there is no god we are all gods. Anyways, your the one that needs some education because I was trying to say that talking like that had no class what so ever.
@vmr2017 Despite your "class", you seem to have absolutely no grasp of the English language. Let me clear this up for you so you don't embarrass yourself any further: YOUR = possessive. For example, YOUR taste in music is terrible. YOU'RE = assertive. For example, YOU'RE a bit of a hillbilly. Do you not have books in the swamps? Do you not read any newspapers? Even the bible? Can you not figure it out? Seriously? It's embarrassing.
@ClTIZEN Haha it's funny because it seems to me that you actually think I give a fuck. YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE = YOU ARE. I know that but I didn't waste my time spelling out for your dumbass in the earlier messages. Damn you people never shut up and leave people the fuck alone. Btw bitch I don't live in a fucking swamp I live in this amazing place, you may have never heard of before... It's called a house.
Why is it dat to really make it today as a country star you have to be on da grand ol oprey and say the right things. Forget that, I like this idea of old. Let your words, your voice and music tell us what and who you are. Thats what is wrong with country music today. No balls, afraid of being different, not one original note in their heads. This is why i love listening to artists like this gentleman.Thank you Hank.
premier songwriter of the 20th century. he will never be surpassed and will be in our hearts forever. hank was a godgiven poet, the simple tunes were binary but the words were powerful!!
all I can say is i think hank jr should run for president! straight forward and dont ask a question unless you want a honest answer! this country needs a good shot of back bone! instead of all the fork tounge snakes that are ruining this great country!
@southernboy91chevy amen! you know he wouldnt take crap from no one! he would be the best president to get us back on track and make America the best it could be! he wouldnt sugar coat whats really happening and tell the American people whats really going on and what hes gonna do to fix!
@TheFarmerfitz --absolutely I knew what Hank meant, after all he's been saying similar since the 2008 elections & I was a long time Hank Jr fan, thus I realize he likes to rowdy on down but this time he took it too far for me--you may think I'm not ordinary but you are welcome to your opinion of me--I am just completely through with Hank Jr ---I like Hank, Sr & Hank, III--there's a lot of good music out there so hopefully we can agree to disagree--sit back and enjoy the music of your choice

@pricetag956 You say it's unknown? So, somehow you alone are privy to this information?! Do you seriously thinks no one knows he has written thousands of songs, hundreds being major hits?!
@sstrohlo8 Do you not recall how low W Bush's popularity ratings were? In Jan 2009-- they were 22% lowest ever! W wasn't blessed by the people--we knew he went into Iraq without certain knowledge of "weapons of mass destruction," the man couldn't say a sentence intelligently...people recognized W was not a genius...but Hank has been mouthing off since the primaries of the 2008 election...it's time he learns there are some things your boss won't allow you to say--hooray ESPN
These radio shows were amazing! Such personality and real life, radio these days are dull, lifeless, PC, and pre-recorded. BRING ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS!
@slowstang88 Hank assumed that the audience for this show was very small and so he was able to loosen up and really dig deep into the music and talk. What he didn't know was that the audience was large and very loyal and that the shows were being recorded for posterity. Thankfully
@RossM3838 Very good point, I'm just ecstatic that it was recorded for the later generations (I was born in 1979) and heard Hank all their life, but never saw anything but pictures really (like me).
I just wonder what Hank Sr would think of his son's political opinions which are so divisive and compare the current president to the most hated, evil man in modern times
@ladyeulailia i dont understand why you idiots are so disturbed about that, the libs drug pres. bush under the bus for 8 years [including madonna referencing his administration to the nazi party] and nobody gave a shit then, i dont think obama is hitler maybe a idiot but not hitler, but after what you people would say about bush i dont see what the big deal is
@ladyeulailia He would be the first to stick up for his kin!!! Most ordinary people know what Jr meant and it should have not been blown way up out of poportion!!!!
@dvdohlman I would love nothing more than to find a place that hires County Western Singers...!!! I live in NJ and there is no place I know of that has it anymore...I miss it sooo much...JourneyOne@comcast.net
Fred Rose was Hank's publisher, close friend and occasional writing partner. They saw the world through the same lens. Its not surprising that Hank would sing Fred's most famous song so well. He believed every word of it.
Some people are off in the head when they say Hank was a bad singer. If that is the case why did he get so many encores the nite at the Grand Ole Opry when sang Lovesick Blues?????? I don't care what people say he is TRULY THE KING OF COUNTRY!!!!!
????? (question marks mean that your comment is incomprehensible) Did you listen to the song or just comment? What the man is singing is 1940s style country western or as they are nostalgically known today as 'old cowboy songs.' This is music you either like or hate. There's no in between...in that respect it's rather like hip hop I think.
hank doesn't need to be in the grand ole opry, he's in a class all alone.The opry is for stars and superstars, there was no name for the category hank's in.
This beautiful song was written by Fred Rose. It was originally recorded by Roy Acuff in 1945. Hank recorded it in 1951 and Willie in 1975 on his "Red Headed Stranger" album. It has also been recorded by several other artists, including Elvis. It is thought to be the last song he sang (and played on the piano in his home) before his death.
Wow!!! I'm not a Willie fan at all, but always considered this the only song he sang well and the one that made him. I'm a huge Hank fan, and never knew he sang this (in fact I thought Willie wrote it nearly 30 years later). This totally shoots Willie out of the water (any time Hank is singing it obviously would, lol)!!!!! I was listening to Jumbalaya and saw this on the side. I thought it was too good to be true and must be fake until I heard it. Absolute gold!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
..if Hank was still around and bumping elbows with us again, I don't think He would be bashing other artists & performers with negative comments. He did not have that kind of personality. (in my humble opinion)
@MisterSlothfull Your 100% right this guy was the greatest, He put country on the map like Elvis did for rock and roll. Hank jr. is just plain greedy when he knew he had a sister out there he only worried about money. Go get em Jet, you look more like your father than he does.
@MisterSlothfull To hell with with anyone who does not think HANK is as good as it gets . Do you know any artist who can go into a studio and record three #1 songs in one day today ?
TO A GENTIEMAN , WHO LIVE'S IN THE UK , LET HIM SMILE EVERY TIME HE SEES THE POSTER OF HANK HANGING ON HIS WALL !! ( GOD BLESS HIM ) HE IS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES !!! REGURDSLESS !!! CHEERS GLEN..
Why do folks have to use such filthy language on here? I'd like to share music with some younger folks. All that filthy language just makes you look ignorant.
Hank Williams defies genre, obviously a great country musician, but his influence can be felt in everything from the blues to hip hop. A truely remarkble lyricist.
Hank Williams is one of the best ever. So sad he died only 29. He would have had so much more to offer to country, blues, gospel and rock 'n' roll in the subsequent years.
Im like you sig, never knew Hank did this one but he was very good at picking, writing and singing great songs, thats what made him a legend that will never be forgotten!
i make an effort to try and purchase every record by mr. williams, and still i had no idea this was out there. a million thanks for posting! like christmas in june!
@loverofcountry506070 i thought i had all his stuff, but i havent heard that. love to know where you found it if you can remember. not many things on this planet than Hank and his guitar alone.
@MrByaeger Sorry to say I can't find it. Being a "pack rat" I've accumulated too much stuff. It was on a three record set(331/3). I got it on my 11th birthday in 1956. I played it countless times and remember "Blue Eyes Crying in The Rain" very well with Hank and his guitar.
@loverofcountry506070 well thats ok, and thanks for answering. i grew up with this song from Willies " red headed stranger" album. it is an important part of my childhood too, my best friends mom would play it on 8 track on the way home from the laundry mat in ohio. just knowing its out there with just Hank and his guitar somewhere will give me a new hobby i figure. When i find i will send it your way.
He's not singing in to a fan. The recording is off a radio show broadcast about 65 years ago before all this de-natured hi fi and digital stuff was thought of and faithfully portrays what I would have heard on the old battery wireless when I was a boy. The quality of popular music seems to have gone into reverse over the past half century - instant gratification is what its all about these days - pandering to the lowest common denominator - Hank was the real thing................
if he was still alive there wouldnt be any of this rock and pop "country". you can put all that "country" music on the radio but people who like true country music will always play the greats
I grew up in the West Midlands UK and when a child I remember listening to Hank many many times. My Dad was a big fan of Hank and also the Hobo Jimmy Rodgers. I love Hank and am so happy that we can hear AND see Hank [Jimmy R too] on You Tube...I like Hank as Luke The Drifter too [as they are heartbreaking songs, you have too choose your time for these].
I think I just figured it out! When you see thumbs down on a video that obviously doesn't deserve it I bet you anything those people hit the wrong thumb by mistake.
@MegaBeerwolf Yeah, a patriot who cheats on his income tax and puts down Pres. Bush for fighting a war because most of Congress approved it, and he got bad info. regarding WMD
father of modern country, all country fans can respect ole Hank, even though he was wild as a pepper, but pure as the moutains...RIP/Hank williams... your music will always live on ....
so wonderful to hear Hank's voice talkin to us on the radio from across the ages.
Sure would be good to be able to go back in time and shake Hank's hand and thank him for all the great songs and the memories. He's my kind of man! RIP Hank Sr.
Hank williams wrote over 1500 songs in 13 years with many of them never recorded, and some sold to other artist, and many are completely lost forever, no one has surpassed him and no one ever will.His songs were a mixture of hymms, heartbreak and lonliness. He sold quite a few for a six pack of beer at some honky tonks in Alabama, and it would be embarrassing to a few artist if I named some so I won't. You are remembered forever, RIP HANK
@boscoruby Dont forget Kenny Chesney either . Like Garth Brooks its all about marketing . These oldtimers stepped to the mike and sang . Remember Chris Gaines?

Hank Williams makes me wish I lived back then when music was like this...

Wow!!! I'm not a Willie fan at all, but always considered this the only song he sang well and the one that made him. I'm a huge Hank fan, and never knew he sang this (in fact I thought Willie wrote it nearly 30 years later). This totally shoots Willie out of the water (any time Hank is singing it obviously would, lol)!!!!! I was listening to Jumbalaya and saw this on the side. I thought it was too good to be true and must be fake until I heard it. Absolute gold!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

..if Hank was still around and bumping elbows with us again, I don't think He would be bashing other artists & performers with negative comments. He did not have that kind of personality. (in my humble opinion)

@MisterSlothfull Your 100% right this guy was the greatest, He put country on the map like Elvis did for rock and roll. Hank jr. is just plain greedy when he knew he had a sister out there he only worried about money. Go get em Jet, you look more like your father than he does.

Hank Williams is one of the best ever. So sad he died only 29. He would have had so much more to offer to country, blues, gospel and rock 'n' roll in the subsequent years.

Fred Rose wrote this back in the late 40's. It was first recorded by Roy Acuff,
Then Hank Williams, and a couple others before Willie recorded it in the 70's.

MrByaeger 8 months ago
@MrByaeger Sorry to say I can't find it. Being a "pack rat" I've accumulated too much stuff. It was on a three record set(331/3). I got it on my 11th birthday in 1956. I played it countless times and remember "Blue Eyes Crying in The Rain" very well with Hank and his guitar.
loverofcountry506070 8 months ago
@loverofcountry506070 well thats ok, and thanks for answering. i grew up with this song from Willies " red headed stranger" album. it is an important part of my childhood too, my best friends mom would play it on 8 track on the way home from the laundry mat in ohio. just knowing its out there with just Hank and his guitar somewhere will give me a new hobby i figure. When i find i will send it your way.

He's not singing in to a fan. The recording is off a radio show broadcast about 65 years ago before all this de-natured hi fi and digital stuff was thought of and faithfully portrays what I would have heard on the old battery wireless when I was a boy. The quality of popular music seems to have gone into reverse over the past half century - instant gratification is what its all about these days - pandering to the lowest common denominator - Hank was the real thing................

I grew up in the West Midlands UK and when a child I remember listening to Hank many many times. My Dad was a big fan of Hank and also the Hobo Jimmy Rodgers. I love Hank and am so happy that we can hear AND see Hank [Jimmy R too] on You Tube...I like Hank as Luke The Drifter too [as they are heartbreaking songs, you have too choose your time for these].

Hank williams wrote over 1500 songs in 13 years with many of them never recorded, and some sold to other artist, and many are completely lost forever, no one has surpassed him and no one ever will.His songs were a mixture of hymms, heartbreak and lonliness. He sold quite a few for a six pack of beer at some honky tonks in Alabama, and it would be embarrassing to a few artist if I named some so I won't. You are remembered forever, RIP HANK
