Nearly all of Hanks chord progressions are straight blues. But of course blues, gospel and bluegrass are the foundations of country, and Hank's poetry and southern drawl put him in that genre. I think hank knew what he was doing, using the blues as his foundation to make great country music, just like Ray Charles to an even higher degree.
I thought everyone had heard HANK sing this. glad that you found it on here. Hank will always be the number one country singer. Most singers now days talk when trying to sing. A good singer to check out is Ross Southerland on youtube. He can sing!!
Why havent I heard this before?! Hank was teh first person I remember hearing. ....music-wise..and he was always around. Always. Just those songs and that voice in my grandparents house- which is where I practically grew up. Music was all we really had...especially me. I was the guitar geek and the little folkie girl but......damn....(scuse my language) I never heard this one. Wow....xx thank you for posting this. Peace n love ~"Jenny"
I never tire of hearing this man sing. It is a tragedy that he left this world so early. I miss his style of music - I rather wish that country music hadn't taken such a dramatic turn. It's like it isn't country music any more, it's just called country.
" what is country music?" this is. period. not so much about where the artist is from, but where they take you. if you never lived way out in the sticks, where you had to drive to your neighbors house on a gravel or dirt road, and felt that awesome loneliness, then maybe todays " country" is ok for you, and thats fine. but to me, its a pale shade, this is the stuff and nobody did it better than hank. nobody. hell, even i try, but cant get near it. so glad its getting out there still..thanks!
Well, here I am tonight, at 3:00 in the morning, listening to this song over and over again and knowing all the reasons why. Nobody has ever said it better than this man because it's obvious he was living it himself. He can turn every word into a teardrop and moan the Blues like no one else ever has. Hank Williams was the Blues, and he still is.
..some people are filled with evil & hate. it comes from satan the devil, the dragon, the strong ..he's gonna be cast into a bottomless pit of everlasting fire - for ever and ever and ever...
@MrThuglifegangsta69 Mr thug life fag boy ill come to your house pick u up over my head bring ya down a bit spit my chew spit in ur ass and rape u u and ur coon toons go smoke a cock
coming from a 16 year old i wish Country was still country and not that junk we have now. Thank You for the song's Hank Sr. you made country music and your son changed it
i just saw "the fighter" last night ....the guy who plays mickey wards brother in the film {is it christian bale ?} leapt out at me at - 0:12 sec's .....plus he can really sing ! HE HAS TO DO THE HANK MOVIE !! .....anyone agree ?
I was in the ninth grade on that January morning in 1953 when it was announced that the Great Hank Williams had passed away, I will never forget that morning!
@geral903 i agree 100% personally i cant believe she has the audacity to walk across the same stage as this man did even if is only a 10ft circle at the grand ol opry stage
@geral903 Ok folks let's look at Taylor Swift from a parenting point of view.What would you want your young daughters to look up to?Get these images into your head.TS or Lady Gaga?TS or Beyonce?TS or Amy Whinehouse?Realy look at most of the women in "country" half dressed and trying every trick in the book to cross over into pop.Taylor achieved her popularity by keeping a clean image that is acceptable by most parents.I aplaud her for this.
@dhoosee I'm going through a breakup from the woman i intended to marry...and your comment said exactly what I would have said if you hadn't already said it. The man gives me goosebumps with his cold, dead eyes and pure hell drips from each heartbroken syllable he sings; it's beautiful.
Id like to see who the hell dislikes this... at the time these songs were being recorded it was an entire new chapter in country music that started what we listen to today and inspired all the classics. hats off hank
anyone who has the audacity to trash talk Hank Williams , not only an american icon , but a country music pioneer, needs to give their heads a shake . remember becareful of stones that you throw? In my opinion anyone who does not come out of a hank williams song a little more wiser has no capacity to feel emotion in the first place. rest in peace Hiram Hank Williams.
We are all flawed and few of us get to touch so many. I used to listen to Hank many many years ago with my great grandmother. He was and remains timeless.
say when you point your finger there are three pointing back at you.. hate the sin and love the person and pray for the decessed. there is no neeed to talk to bad about a person who cant defend himself. be a man and jsut appriciate
say man you you point your finger at someones flaw look at your hand cause there are three pointing right back at you...... love the person hate the sin and god bless the desseced. no need to talk bad about someone who cant defend himself. call me old fashion but thats how i know
what killed hank was taking pain killer and drinking. he was in so much pain he was taking more then he should. hank was on tour then he was going to south islands until he beat the boozes. the only reason hank drinked was to ease a bad back pain he had from birth.it had gotten when he fell from a horse.when jr.was born.after a operation his back only got worse. he was taking pain pills and just took to much. he refused to stay at the knoxville hosital because he had missed a show in w.va.
@barf245. Hank had a bad back. Caused him to miss performances at times. He supposedly was taking lots of pills and drinking too to get some escape. Probably had a ruptured disc. But I won't make excuses as I wasn't there. Spoke to a few folks who met him, drank with him on Bossier Strip, did a little jamming with him-just messing around. None said he was a dope head if that's what you were implying.
I grew up listening to Hank Williams Sr. as a kid, and i got teazed alot when in H.S. still listening to Hank, when other kids were listening to Def Lepard, AC/DC, Metallica, and fresh prince, and boys to men. Except for a few songs by Metallica, and AC/DC the rest was all crap. I related so much to Hank the way he wrote his songs about women and their cheating around, cause that was my mother... she was a walking cheatin demon.and for years I hated her very existence. But I have forgiven her.
This song represents one thing, and in the nicest way I will say it.. "One day I will be gone, and your going to hate yourself for being a fucking ass to me."
@jogga123 True, but Hank's music was so honest, I could never see him being washed-up. Imagine some of the projects that could have happened between Hank and artists like Johnny Cash and George Jones.
this song always scared me i was about 16 when i first heard it i wondered just when it would be my turn im 70 now and when i call her name she dont answer shes not dead shes just gone oh well just like hank he always found the right words for the situation in all his songs thank you for posting this great, great song
This song is my all time favorite and I am old. Thank you for putting it out where other people can hear it because most people have never heard this song.
@LemurinBlack, I realise you're probably a WUM but just in case you're not I'll say if you think Hank Williams was 'one of the worst singers ever' then why the heck are you listening to his music? Go away and find something you enjoy and leave the rest of us - the people who know good music when we hear it - to listen in peace. Hank Williams was one of the best singers/songwriters of the 20th century, something acknowledged by the many other famous singers who later recorded his songs.
His music brings me back to memories of my Granny and its like Hank is home...like he makes me feel home, if that makes since.Idk all I can say is he makes you really "feel"
Gay trailer trash music. I can't believe they played this crap in space. It's trailer trash and gay. Now I have to go back to my hot Asian girlfriend, bye white trash.
@Brownsc3 kinda like a song to Audrey??? there did come a day she called his name and he didn't answer..so she dressed there baby boy up in a suit and made him bring in the cash..sad really
@Brownsc3 He drank his health away real quick..plus had a horrible back problem and he popped pills for...even surgreies for it... before he left for that new years show a doctor gave him shoots in his back for the pain..and he got in the back seat of his caddy to be driven to the show with a bottle of whisky and never made it there
Back in the 40s, driving through Georgia, the Carolinas, Arkansas, Tennessee, all you heard on the radio (when a station came in) was Hank Williams. The roadhouses played his music. What a time. Saturday nights, we'd order rounds of beer and not allow the waitress to remove the empties until the table was full. What a time. What fun!
In one of the photographs ~ 1min. 20 sec into the clip, the one with Hank singing atop the flat bed truck, in the foreground is a car with a gal wearing sunglasses in the driver's seat. Any idea who she is? She is the gal who was the subject of many of the great songs written by Hank Williams. Even though this song wasn't written by Hank, it is a beautiful song and very well performed.
I've heard people say they donn't like Hank Williams, and I just don't quiet understand that. To me Hank is country music, all American, Southern and with that voice of his and his words to his music and the feel of how he sings a song makes it feels as though he could just reach down and grab a persons soul. He's a one of a kind.
@basenjib123 I Agree Hank SR is the best true country singer Waylon is my favorite but he wasnt just country he said it himself they both are still great the music they made will never die.
@basenjib123 that is true this moron hilling hoe is wrong in so many levels.saying that his sone was better than him?? jr grabbed his fathers catails all the way through his career..if hank jr had a different name and didnt use that williams last name to drive his career,he wouldnt even be country artist,much less a "legend"
It's good to hear people make covers of country songs especially hank williams he is a legend. That means there are people still listening. I hope country will come back like in the past! Please let more people listen to country again!
I am listening everyday to all ol'Hanks his songs.
Nearly all of Hanks chord progressions are straight blues. But of course blues, gospel and bluegrass are the foundations of country, and Hank's poetry and southern drawl put him in that genre. I think hank knew what he was doing, using the blues as his foundation to make great country music, just like Ray Charles to an even higher degree.

Gay trailer trash music. I can't believe they played this crap in space. It's trailer trash and gay. Now I have to go back to my hot Asian girlfriend, bye white trash.

@LemurInBlack Hank Williams wrote music before trailer trash existed.
The song is written about a woman. Williams is a man, and therefore the song is heterosexual.
Seriously, man.

This song is so haunting if you interpret it as a statement about Williams' own life. Anyone agree?

@Brownsc3 kinda like a song to Audrey??? there did come a day she called his name and he didn't answer..so she dressed there baby boy up in a suit and made him bring in the cash..sad really

@bluez1981 I meant to say how Williams became addicted to heroin and alcohol, and then he died at the age of 29...

@Brownsc3 He drank his health away real quick..plus had a horrible back problem and he popped pills for...even surgreies for it... before he left for that new years show a doctor gave him shoots in his back for the pain..and he got in the back seat of his caddy to be driven to the show with a bottle of whisky and never made it there

Back in the 40s, driving through Georgia, the Carolinas, Arkansas, Tennessee, all you heard on the radio (when a station came in) was Hank Williams. The roadhouses played his music. What a time. Saturday nights, we'd order rounds of beer and not allow the waitress to remove the empties until the table was full. What a time. What fun!

This is just so beautiful. He is one of the great singers. A great gift. Goes through time.

In one of the photographs ~ 1min. 20 sec into the clip, the one with Hank singing atop the flat bed truck, in the foreground is a car with a gal wearing sunglasses in the driver's seat. Any idea who she is? She is the gal who was the subject of many of the great songs written by Hank Williams. Even though this song wasn't written by Hank, it is a beautiful song and very well performed.

I've heard people say they donn't like Hank Williams, and I just don't quiet understand that. To me Hank is country music, all American, Southern and with that voice of his and his words to his music and the feel of how he sings a song makes it feels as though he could just reach down and grab a persons soul. He's a one of a kind.

@basenjib123 He is in the top 5 but not the best. Bocephus is the best then Conway, Possum then he comes in at 4 or 5 with Travis.

It's good to hear people make covers of country songs especially hank williams he is a legend. That means there are people still listening. I hope country will come back like in the past! Please let more people listen to country again!
I am listening everyday to all ol'Hanks his songs.
R.I.P Hank Williams!
