Hank Williams, Jr. with Don Helms - The Ballad of Hank Williams

[bcschmerker]

Quite a story set to a Jimmy Driftwood tune here. ;-) Hiram Hank's career in a nutshell, warts and all, I reckon.

I love this song. I have seen the late Hank Williams and the Cowboys on stage, they were awesome entertainers.

i wish i knew why he took those pills

@jaden1418 "Consumption of alcohol, morphine and other painkillers to ease his back condition caused problems in his life. He divorced his wife and was fired by the Grand Ole Opry due to drunkenness. On January 1, 1953, on way to a gig, he had a doctor inject him with a combination of vitamin B12 and morphine, which, added to the alcohol and chloral hydrate that Williams had consumed earlier, caused him to have a fatal heart attack. He was only 29."
