On every music video of this old music its a young boy who is saying how mutch they love this music and im exactly the same im 15 and i love all kinds of old music, blues, jazz, country everything and we only say our ages because we wanna impress older people that younger can listen to this good music too not just like most young who listen to rap so THUMB UP IF YOU AGREE :)
I've got a bad back as a result of a motorbike accident long ago but unfortunately I can't sing like Hank. No wonder his songs are sad if he had a sore back all the time.
I have lots of Hank Williams SR.songs.I play his songs at home and in my car.He was a great singer and I really enjoy it when I hear his songs on the radio.He is a better singer that some of the new singers that are on the country radios.Some of the new singers are not very good and I go to another station when I want to listen to real good country singers.My favourite singer is George Jones.
What the hell has race got to do with Hanks music? he had a real bad back and was constantly in pain and had freinds that were black, red, white ( if the black man was dark enough(blue) he would of had the colors of our flag!) with his health problems i highly doubt he thought that he was a supreme master of a person, as a matter of fact that is what made his music, the other darker side of life! that shed light,so if you have any different ideas you are not worthey of listening to hanks message
@paleboy1231 -Hank Williams had a cronically bad back, that some say lead to his early death, if you look at most of his pictures and videos he is never standing strait, there is a biography on Hank and thats were i found out about his back
@paleboy1231 hank was born with spinal bifida its where your spine isnt covered by skin when you are born or something like that he suffered with it his whole life and it ultimately led to his death from his co-dependency to alcohol and pain killers.people thought he was just a drunk but he relied heavily on the bottle to deal with his back and hell the man had demons but no matter what he was the best to ever do it!
@deerhuntingboy101 awesome dude im 14 yea i agree hank sr. hank jr. george jones conway twitty dale watson waylon jennings peple need to lisen to way better music
simple life ? 1950 No one i knew owned a TV, most folks heated thier homes w/coal,some didnt have indoor plumbing yet, if you had a phone you shared a line with five or six neighbors, lucky ones had electricity and a car....ahh but us poor folk, we had hank williams, pouring out of that atwater kent battery powered radio, static, scratchy 78s, Hank had his day, and i was there too, in some ways, i still am
simpler times ? you make your life as simple or complicated as you want ! my advise is dont chase green paper or yellow rock.enjoy the time you have.dont lose touch with nature and all living beings , cause were all in this together!
It's amazing how such great music brings out such hatred. I'm a proud black man who also happens to be a Jazz musician, and who also loves both Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers. I don't believe music has anything to do with color, it's the one thing that brings all people together. Don't forget, Jimmie Rodgers recorded with Louis Armstrong and Hank Williams was taught by a black man.
@SwingtoBop From the old music Fats Domino is one of my most favorite and I love it. way better than most peolpe think. hello josephene how do you do..........................
In the picture ay 0:53, check out the guitar player to Hank's right. It's Chet Atkins, who many claim is the real reason for the "pop" influence in country music due to his creation of "The Nashville Sound", where he turned country artists like Eddy Arnold into easy listening "elevator muzak" performers. This song was an unreleased demo that appears in the box set "The Complete Hank Williams".
@chipskylark14 You mean there are any people left who aren't white? I don't tell many youtubers this, but I am a time traveler and in the future there are no blacks -- they got killed off by sickle cell anemia, Ebola and AIDS -- all contracted from eating monkeys and gorillas and passing those diseases on to their offspring. The Jews were killed off by Tay Sachs, contracted by eating kosher, tortured animals. With a little help from the Supreme Animal-Loving Adolph-in Hitler. Mon Fuhrer!
Hank wrote this song about his dad, Lon, and Hank went to see his dad over his last Christmas of 1952 and was to play this for him. Sadly, Lon was out of town and thus it never took place.
Sad old country music. What happened to our music that someone like Taylor Swift is a country "superstar"? Give me that cut to the bone, story telling country of real life, love, pain and sorrow.
good ale hank is the best i am a 35 year old man never met hank but started listening to his music at age 5 and in 1999 i had the oppurtuninty to go to hank's hometown in mount olive alabama and georgiana and greenville and montgomery and nashville and all were great also met his daughter jett and many band members from the drifting cowboys and some of his family and every year since 1999 i go to hank's hometowns if the lord lets me great man great music and all god bless all and keep hankin!!!!
What a great song. It's at least in the top 5 of the greatest country songs every written and sang. It may never get the credit, but it touches the deep part of us that makes us love country music.
Not heard this Hank song before, sounds very like one of his earliest recordings from the guitar style and deeper voice, love it, will be playing it tomorrow
i think iwas born with a chain saw in my hand and daddy playing hank in that ole pulp wood truck the train scenes in the leather head movie w/ george clooney was my grandpas ole pulp wood yard this song hits home as all hank songs do
@inlinecumminspower Dear Smarter Than Thou, I am the smartest person I have ever known. Glad to know others think well of themselves. The smartest thing I know is that Adolph Hitler was the smartest person who ever graced this planet. Heil Hitler!
How you know we would all be speaking German? The people of the occupied countries spoke their native tongue. The German war posters distributed for German Allied countries we're in their countries native tongue. Drink coffee? Germans drunk beer and they make the best beer. Did you know there was African, Arab, Indian, Asian, Jewish, etc fighting in the Waffen SS and Wehrmacht? There is alot that you don't know. You only know brainwashed highschool/college history books.
@Bmxer00002003 There were no Jews in the SS. There were no Asians in the Wehrmacht, and no Africans, Arabs or Indians in German uniform you tool. The jew thing is pretty self explanatory. The only Asians were either Japanese who had their hands full, or fighting the Jap, which means NOT in the German army. Africa, India, and most Arab countries were British or Dutch colonies...also NOT in the German army. I have some book recommendations for you, Johnny high and mighty.
There was 150,000 or so Jewish Soldiers in the Wehrmacht, many were Generals and many were rewarded the Iron Cross. Search that up.
There was an Arab group (Muslim division in the SS). Therew was am Indian group who joined to fight against the British who ruled the Indians country and they wanted their land back so they joined the Nazis. There was also Africans TOO in the Frei Arbian group. SEARCH IT UP! IT'S FACTS!
Everyone thinks and were taught the Nazis were all whites BUT what yer teachers didn't tell you were there was other Ethnic groups AND Jews in th Nazi military too.
The Nazi military was basically a huge multi-ethnic nationalist army that was ever created until today.
There was a log train. The railroad owned the land on each side of the tracks. The log train traveled along from town to town cutting timber. My people cut cross ties. This is how my people ended up in North Louisiana, One morning they woke up and the log train had moved on to another town.
We had those here in east Texas also. My great great grandfather worked from Alabama to east Texas running the wagon with oxen to get logs to the train. One photo shows the wagon loaded with a single log that appeared to be about 6 to 7 foot in diameter.
No... people used to pull logs out the woods with oxen(cause not every had the money for tractors). They would then load them on the log train. You should have more respect for Hank,, it was about his father - he seldom wrote about his life and i for one think it's sweet and sad.
@daylanrayne my grandpa used an ole mule and the mule would sit down and refuse to work and my grandpa was about 5'5 140lbs and ornery as the mule it was a combo to rememeber and youre right that was b4 folks could afford tractors and such. ole hank sang a good one everytime he sang.
my ex boyfriend can sing and sounds just hank... he is an amazing singer and guitar player.. everytime i spent the night at his house he would sing that song to me right before we went to bed.. i still hang out with him alot but i wish we were still dating.. me and him still do stuff not that you guys care but this song means alot to me!!!!!
I learned how to play guitar,sing and write my own music because of old HANK and Merle Haggard. This song really hits home because I have been a logger in the northern penn. hills since the mid 80's.I have two videos of country songs I've wrote on you tube and am working on some of my logging videos now. thats why this song really hits my roots. Check me out Doug foster - 3 day drunk , Im in the mirror. I hope you like them there real country
It's a great song, I don't care if it's country or folk or others, It's a great song , like all the songs write or cover by Hank WILLIAMS. For me Hank is the best songwriter with Johnny Cash and Hank III.
It's interesting that a number of people refer to this song as true country. I love Hank and I love this song, but I've always thought it was closer to folk and Woody Guthrie than anything else he's done. Another one that really crossed Folk and Country was the heartbreaking lament: Alone and Forsaken.
i'll never get out of this world alive was the last single he recorded. this song was actually a demo he recorded in december hince why its just him and his guitar. look up his biography by colin escort
What a beautiful song this is--I couldn't keep the tears out of my eyes. Williams is so sensitive to the problems of ordinary people, no wonder they loved him so much. The song can be found on this CD. "Hank Williams, Legendary Country Singers, The Country Music Hall of Fame".
My uncle is a logger since he was 14, he's 74 now and still at it. His father taught him everything. I've worked with him a few times and it gets very dangerous in the woods. He's come close to not making it home a few times. We're all very thankful when he does. He sang a lot of Hank Williams songs but he's never heard this one. Thanks for posting.
This is one of those songs Hank released under the name of "Luke, The Drifter" Hank had a split personality when it came to writing songs. He became so popular that everything he released was automaticallly put on juke boxes. They sent "I Saw The Light" to the juke boxes, Needless to say, that didn't sell much beer with folks taking that song to heart so a plan was devised in which all Hank's serious and Biblical stuff would go by a different artist name, The other stuff used Hank's real name
My father, grandpa, and so on worked as loggers back in the day. A family tradition, you could call it.
But this song really reminds me of the stories my grandpa would tell about his logging days in the ol' Smoky Mountains, and how grateful he was to live through each dangerous day to come back home by supper time. This is my first time listening to this song, and I couldn't help but cry as the memories of my grandpa could be clearly seen through Hank's wise voice.
this is the very last thing he recorded. this was a demo of the song cause before his death he was pitching this song to people and getting their thoughts on it
get supper on the table i hear the log train! I remember grandma having grandpa's supper ready when he got home from work cooked everything on a wood burning stove. sorry!! it just brings a tear to my eyes
My dad and I STILL randomly break out into this song. I'm the only one of his kids that shared his love of the OLD country/honky tonk music & our favorite is Hank.
This song in particular reminds me of spending time with my dad.
I can't believe what is considered country today. I'm only 27 but have been listening to Hank since I was 12 and love his music. There are people i know that are older than me and don't know who he is.
@smokin62diesel Hi , I also love Hank & every week go to Karaoki & always do a few HANK SONG,S . So in my own way it keeps Country music going.& People like it.& Hank Williams the best.
@smokin62diesel you just made my day, well night actually ...i hope you keep enjoying this music and sharing it with your friends. if you don't it may die forever. best wishes..b
@smokin62diesel ill second that man I work with some people and they all say they listen to country. Ill ask them what artist they say garth brooks and toby keith very few people know what real country music is. Hank Williams Sr., Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings just to name a few.
This is a great tune, This song reminds of my great granfather. He was a mule skinner, and a log train driver. My Grandpa, really likes this too. Brought tears to his eyes. This is indeed real country, and may Hank's legend live forever. 1,000,000/5***** : )
As written, Hank wrote this for father. His father never got to hear Hank sing it. Hank did sing it at a couple places in Mongomery just days before he died. Luckily, Hank recorded it on his personal recorder, or it would have been lost forever. It was lost for decades, locked in a vaunt of tapes. While doing a special album package, Reader's Digist stumbled upon it and the rest is history. Although the recording quality is poor, the lyic and Hank's vocal performance is exceptional.
My Mom and Daddy brought me up on Hank. Daddy was killed in a auto accident in '01. This song got me through that story that happened a long time ago.
I grew up listening to Ole Hank. I remember the day Ole Hank died. His high, plaintive voice was a heart ripper. There will never be another singer like Ole Hank.
This IS my favorite Hank song. My daddy had an old vinyl record called, "Just Me & My Guitar," by Hank Williams and we'd listen to this song over and over together. Whenever I hear it, it reminds me of sitting on the back porch with my dad.
GOD bless you Hank...your music touch's the heart and steady's soul ...amen

it's amazing how singers can totally capture our minds, our feelings, and our imaginations. even for just a few minutes

I learned how to play guitar,sing and write my own music because of old HANK and Merle Haggard. This song really hits home because I have been a logger in the northern penn. hills since the mid 80's.I have two videos of country songs I've wrote on you tube and am working on some of my logging videos now. thats why this song really hits my roots. Check me out Doug foster - 3 day drunk , Im in the mirror. I hope you like them there real country

It's a great song, I don't care if it's country or folk or others, It's a great song , like all the songs write or cover by Hank WILLIAMS. For me Hank is the best songwriter with Johnny Cash and Hank III.

It's interesting that a number of people refer to this song as true country. I love Hank and I love this song, but I've always thought it was closer to folk and Woody Guthrie than anything else he's done. Another one that really crossed Folk and Country was the heartbreaking lament: Alone and Forsaken.

What a beautiful song this is--I couldn't keep the tears out of my eyes. Williams is so sensitive to the problems of ordinary people, no wonder they loved him so much. The song can be found on this CD. "Hank Williams, Legendary Country Singers, The Country Music Hall of Fame".

My uncle is a logger since he was 14, he's 74 now and still at it. His father taught him everything. I've worked with him a few times and it gets very dangerous in the woods. He's come close to not making it home a few times. We're all very thankful when he does. He sang a lot of Hank Williams songs but he's never heard this one. Thanks for posting.

This is one of those songs Hank released under the name of "Luke, The Drifter" Hank had a split personality when it came to writing songs. He became so popular that everything he released was automaticallly put on juke boxes. They sent "I Saw The Light" to the juke boxes, Needless to say, that didn't sell much beer with folks taking that song to heart so a plan was devised in which all Hank's serious and Biblical stuff would go by a different artist name, The other stuff used Hank's real name

My father, grandpa, and so on worked as loggers back in the day. A family tradition, you could call it.
But this song really reminds me of the stories my grandpa would tell about his logging days in the ol' Smoky Mountains, and how grateful he was to live through each dangerous day to come back home by supper time. This is my first time listening to this song, and I couldn't help but cry as the memories of my grandpa could be clearly seen through Hank's wise voice.
Thank you for showing this.

I can't believe what is considered country today. I'm only 27 but have been listening to Hank since I was 12 and love his music. There are people i know that are older than me and don't know who he is.

This is a great tune, This song reminds of my great granfather. He was a mule skinner, and a log train driver. My Grandpa, really likes this too. Brought tears to his eyes. This is indeed real country, and may Hank's legend live forever. 1,000,000/5***** : )

As written, Hank wrote this for father. His father never got to hear Hank sing it. Hank did sing it at a couple places in Mongomery just days before he died. Luckily, Hank recorded it on his personal recorder, or it would have been lost forever. It was lost for decades, locked in a vaunt of tapes. While doing a special album package, Reader's Digist stumbled upon it and the rest is history. Although the recording quality is poor, the lyic and Hank's vocal performance is exceptional.
