[drawdys]

who is the past master?

[Rogermiler]

This man was a songwriter's songwriter. He (and Jimmie DRIFTWOOD) were beyond comparison.

[maxwelld1961]

There will never be another .With this much feeling.I believe,and this is just just my opinion,other artist occasionally touch this depth of emotion.But Hank Did it time and time again.he was a gift ,he is a legend.And he will never be for gotten.R.I.P. Hank

[2000toddowen]

So powerful.

About anytime I'm having a beer at night 'round a firepit, I always tell myself-"If only Hank were here."

[nothingman1996]

ooooh painful! :')

[buddy85216]

This demo shows hank was just hitting his stride when he passed on. The Hillbilly Shakespeare

[hank3rox]

Hank died 25 years before I was even born, but his music hits me harder than anything produced during my lifetime. Not to say I don't like newer music, I do, but this is in a class of it's own.

[SherrieAKolb]

Wow!

[maxwelld1961]

been to the grave so many times.There is a sadness but a wonder for all he has given.This is the greatest singer of the sadness of the heart that will ever be.I Love you hank.Thanks for everything

[mysteria31]

Yep! I live in Franklin and the fields and the creeks are definately peculiar.

You ever heard of Townes Van Zandt? He wrote Flyin Shoes and his Catfish sing out at the old lake. He says they just bubbled up.... Some of the older houses up yonder got haints too. And they ain't all that nice.

[BradNC11175]

I couldn't blame the ghosts for haunting Franklin the way they built all that shit on the sacred grounds of the battlefield.

[Elderhamm]

50+ years and his songs still ring true. Powerful music from a man wise beyond his years.

[ThomWithKawliga]

you rock bigbalbootha. hank sr is the shit. its a shame he had to spawn such a homo. good thing talent skips a generation. hank III rocks too.

[OctoberWytche]

Magnificent work. The song is so beautiful, and the images are haunting.

[reddirtgirl55]

Has Hank ever made a bad record?

Excellent!

[hank3rox]

if he has then I haven't heard it

[buttercup7156]

his lyrics are so powerful..you get a glimpse into his mind ...i cant think of another artist that can wite a song with such emotion and depth... and you can feel his pain in his voice ...

[vometcomet]

@buttercup7156 Johnny Cash? Hurt? Listen to "Hurt" he sounds like he is in a fair deal of emotional and mental anguish. He also happened to be on his last leg when he recorded it.

[natcat18]

@buttercup7156 You should listen to Neko Case. She does a similar thing with her music. (She also did a haunting version of this song)

[trueshepherd]

@buttercup7156 His grandson

[sabreyow]

@buttercup7156 check out the townes van zandt version and then check out heartworn highway after that by van zandt in his younger days..and then listen to pearl jam,black....some of my personal in pain favorites

[bushtamer72]

@buttercup7156 You said it hank was surely a masterv of the art of song writing

[cbdesade]

Hank Williams was more than a country musician. This ballad is closer to Beethoven than to Johnny Cash. And the lyrics could have been written by Edgar Allan Poe--which is why the graveyard images fit the song perfectly.

[ThomWithKawliga]

damn right. the word "legend" doesnt even come close to what hank was eh.

[cbdesade]

So many words, like "legend" and "icon" have been wasted on 3rd rate talents. One word that might fit Hank is "immortal."

[maxwelld1961]

Hank is country.All else owes a great tribute.

[gardenmagik]

Cool pics of the graveyard! I especially like the one in the tree for some reason.. Great video!

[hfpitman]

hfpitman somebody should play sume with audry singing with him i like hearing singing togather.

[primeprinefan]

r u kidding? audrey was about the only thing that could mess up a hank song. i hate to call her hank's yoko ono, but ...

[jerryg65]

There was ONLY ONE Hank , thousands will sing the songs that he wrote , but none will ever put the emotion into the songs that Hank felt when he wrote them . One of his greatest . Thanks for posting . Favorites and 5 Stars.

[maxwelld1961]

jerryg65.been to Hanks grave,the greatest country singer of all,

[Svartalfgeist]

This song reminds me of my ex.

[Redrussian1983]

great video!

[ThomWithKawliga]

its amazing how most of hanks music is based on the same inspiration as emo, but emo sounds horrid and gay, and hank sounds like a musical god.

[proudrebel93]

emo is nothing but exaggerated blues...

[allisterfiend1313]

get a clue

[poontwangdrifter]

none can describe lonelyness better than hank williams,it's frightening to think of just how sad he was inside!

[ijsschots]

Listen to Leonard Cohen.

[ThomWithKawliga]

touche

[cryingsoftly]

I personally feel that Townes Van Zandt more closely aproached Hank Williams mealancohly songs than did Leonard Cohen. All of them were (and Leonard Cohen still is) phenomenal song writers.

[cryingsoftly]

Leonard Cohen admits that Hank is the better song writer. Listen to Tower of Song. He places Hank 100 floors above him in the tower. He has asks Hank Williams how lonely can it get (and hank never tells him). Not to dis Cohen. Cohen is a much better song writer than I'll ever be, but he just can't touch Alone and Forsaken, nor I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

[CrescentMoonglow]

My Son Calls Another Man Daddy. Last Night, I Dreamed of Mama. A Picture From Life's Other Side. The Prodigal Son. Let's Turn Back the Years. The Mansion on the Hill... I could fill this little box with so many of Hank's songs, many of them-indeed, most of them, saturated in pain and the human condition. He was a prolific writer and a phenom in the music world. Such a tragic-and tragically- SHORT life. I am a forever fan. Love this and thank you for sharing!

[zwelin]

amazing good song!!!!

[dreadnought45]

Sorry, I meant to say Fender amp.

[dreadnought45]

Another fine song with Hank and his Martin D-28. It does'nt get any better than that. He didn't need an 80 watt Tender amp and a telecaster. What a master he was.

[seraphale]

Nice!

[JusticeLivesNot]

This kicks ass, man... Long live the CSA!

[bigbalbootha]

hey mike thanks

[colorak]

cry cry ! cry again ! very sad ! cry USA

[AlanPaladin]

Hank sure was a Great Story Teller. Thanks for sharing...

[jalollybad]

[elwillo9]

man this sounds like me and my ex girlfriend

[ulsterstan]

ONE OF HANKS GREAT OLDIES.

[ijsschots]
