[Midnightryder3]

@zombie14ish <<<< WELL WHY DID U LISTEN ????

[david1014861]

@zombie14ish asshole

[marcang1]

Isn't this song about old Hank? Really great anyway.

[Midnightryder3]

@marcang1 <<< Im 100% postive its about Hank Jr The song sayes Hes over 40 years old now ..... Hank Sr born 1923 died 1953 but was only 29 years old so its definatly talking about Jr in the song

[marcang1]

@Midnightryder3 :: Its says "Im over 40 years old now", but you might right, this why: "But his name's a reminder

Of a blues man that's already gone."

[StaceyGeorge1980]

Love this song, Alan did a WONDERFUL job!!!

[777runningdeer]

I love this song

[caswell1000]

Alan Jackson sings with song with so much empathy. He's one of the good 'ole boys. I loved it when he did the live hymns for his mother and his mother-in-law.

Thank you for posting this video and the photos and really great!,

God Bless You, my dear Friend, Gwen

[melliott3707]

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

Good video, but Jr's whiskey of choice is Jim Beam...not Jack.

[sheilamcdonald101]

Awesome!! Just Awesome!!

[IH8EV1]

Alan Jackson done an amazing job on this song!! I love this video too!!

[ConditionOfAnonymity]

excellent, one of the best country songs ever done, and sung by legendary singer/songwriter Alan Jackson. ya can't improve on this one...

[RosaLei96]

This is such an AWESOME song! I think it will be one of my future wedding songs; the one the Bride and Groom get to dance to while everyone watches!

...take the person you love by the hand and dance quietly to this song; if tears don't start rolling down from your passionate eyes, and you don't squeeze real tight to the one you love and feel totally happy and comfortable in that moment... look for another, one you can do this with! Best of luck in LOVE! ♥

[MsDistantLover]

This is a great video. All I can say is speak speakable about this man.!

[butterfliesl2010]

The version of both men did were great.

[mr8ballme4]

I have herd this song quite a few times and just love it. Thanks so much for sharing. Great song. Hank you are a great man and Allen thanks for all you have done with your songs.

[joshuabrooks21]

I played this version of this song as a closing dance song at a sober dance I DJ'd many years ago, and it filled the floor in front of me. It was awesome. What made it more bittersweet was the fact that my mom and dad were right at the forefront of the people dancing to it. In all honesty, I was apprehensive about playing it, but when the song was over, I was getting handshakes, and thank yous from the couples that danced to this song. Thanks Hank and Alan for recording this great song. George 2

[Midnightryder3]

@joshuabrooks21 <<< THANKS for the comment !! Yes this is a great version to this song and Alan just does so good on it

[joshuabrooks21]

@Midnightryder3 Indeed he does. My brother has the original Alan Jackson album this song came out on. Now, before I heard this version, I'd never even heard Hank's version. Alan mentions Hank's name in the song's liner notes, and I saw "Living Proof", which featured Hank's version of this song, a little while after hearing Alan's version. George Jones also did a pretty good version too!

[arkentera]

love this great job alan . alan jackson is the best of the best!!!!!!!!

[footballgusto72]

both are legends and AJ can join the list of greats

[Steacy783]

Started doing midnight runs 1993 and finished up 2006 ! I can't count how many times ,,, I heard this song ,, but I've heard it ! Thanks guy's !

[lno71]

Alan i thank u for being country and to Hank Jr. for being an outlaw and making country music for all of us simple folks could enjoy and for truly being one of us. COUNTRY BOYS CAN SURVIVE!!!! again thank u Alan Jackson for doing this classic and i have to say u have filled Hank Jr's shoes quite well. thank you Midnightryder3 for posting this...U ROCK SON!!!!!!!!!!

[Midnightryder3]

@lno71 ... THAK YOU for the comment. Its Comments like this that make me want to keep making the best videos i possible can. I love the older country music and try to share what i have and try putting pictures together with the song. TAKE A LOOK AT my ALAN JACKSON " Murder on Music Row" and listen to the words in that song !! AGAIN THANKS A BUNCH for the comments

[50katy]

wow what a great video!

this song is so loving and pure!

love it !

~~~ Katy ~~~

[jbarrelracer88]

I love this version with Alan. This was the 1st song my boyfriend ever played for me 6 years ago! Man how time flies by!!!

[DixieGirl981]

To all: I love seeing all the posts and tributes but I wanna let ya'll know something. The song, originally done by Jr was about his daddy Mr Hank Williams SR!!! How wonderful country would still be if we never lost the greatest!!!

[Midnightryder3]

@DixieGirl981 THE ORIGINAL YES but this is NOT the original song that SR WROTE !!

[angeleyes197106]

I think Alan Jackson really nails this song! He sings it better than Hank himself!!!

[RattleIceTea]

Great extended version!

[cwbryant2002]

Great song. I would assume the song was about George Jones, but it could be about a number of older country singers. LOL

[Midnightryder3]

@cwbryant2002 >>>>>> no the song is about HANK WILLIAMS JR !!!!! All Pictures are of Hank Jr !!!!! and the blues man ALREADY GONE is HANK SR !

[cwbryant2002]

I originally thought is was George Jones so did a lot of people. I figured it out when i saw the whole video. Thx

[earlmerser]

@cwbryant2002 this is a remake of hanks blues man..he wrote it about himself

[cwbryant2002]

I originally thought it was about George Jones until i saw the video. It would go good with him too...

[DaveRification]

The extended mix of this is Awesome. I have it & play the entire song! I love the spanish guitar riffs, etc. :-)

Thanks for posting this as well :-)

[DaveRification]

If I included Toby Keith in the same class as Keith Whitley, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Tracy Lawrence, then I'm really sorry!!! :-( I'm gonna sit in the corner now...LOL :-)

I didn't mean to type Toby's name. Just a really bad typo. There are a couple of Toby's I like, but once or twice listening to Toby Keith in enough for me!!!

[JeanKAtl]

Awesome! I love this long version w/the long instrumental, which makes it so beautiful! That guitar is just something else!

[DaveRification]

Freakin' AWESOME!

David :-)

[1clayt]

Dave !!!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU AREN'T SERIOUSLY INCLUDING TOBY KEITH IN THE SAME CLASS AS KEITH WHITLEY -- WTF ???

[50katy]

you did an excellent job on this video .......7 stars
