  • Nowadays, country singers don't talk about 3 men in a tub.

  • very cool love the strings!

  • Very nice ! .

  • LOVE HANK THOMSON

  • @1:58

    CLEVER GUY, THAT HANK THOMSON:

    IF I´M CORRECT, HE USED TWO STEELS:

    ONE "HAWAIIAN" STEEL GUITAR & ONE PEDAL STEEL.

    THEIR PLAYING IS DIFFERENTLY APPROACHED.

    I´M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN PLAY THE HANK THOMSON

    "TRADE-MARK" LICK ON THE PEDAL STEEL GUITAR.

    WELL, AT LEAST IT PROPABLY DOESN´T COME OUT THE SAME.

  • Nothing beats Real Country music.

  • Heard this song many times as a child, still remember the words.

  • That is my Step Daddy playing Fiddle on the left with glasses Bob White. Awh what a find, Makes me happy to see him. Sincere Thanks Kathy 1-1-2010

  • I used to go watch Hank in person at The Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas. Later I did get to do some shows with him and Cliffie Stone who used to be his manager.

  • Probably Curly Chalker on sterel guitar.

  • Bert Rivera, later steel player than in this video, has some recent live performances posted by jjjazzz1.

  • When I listen to Hank Thompson's music, I like to close my eyes and imagine a dusty honky-tonk with happy men and women dancin' and drinking beer as his terrific bouncy songs flow from an old jukebox! I love Hank's voice and his backup band could not be beat! God rest his soul.

  • this song reminds me of my nana

  • holy hell, dual steel guitars - what happened at 2:00?

  • What a great Honky Tonk classic! Great!!

  • I'm a young man (25) but this music is like a lullaby to me because of my late grandparents. RIP Mom and Pop LAW.

  • how could hank go wrong when he sounded so much like hank snow who was enjoing a lot of sucess. but hank can really wear a hat

  • @lyleslarder Personally, I think he sounds nothing at all like Hank Snow. Snow was Canadian and had NO Southern accent. Thompson was Texan and had an unmistakeble sound. I've lived all my life in Nashville, grew up on country music, they are both great, but sorry, they don't sound alike.

  • Thank you ! I enjoyed waching!!

    5++

  • simply great

  • thank you very much for uploading this song! i love the old music! truely amazing!!

  • This is so great, I love the music from the 50's and even from the 30's and 40's, and I just love this video, love the way he sings.

  • Great, Hank Thompson had classical trained vionlists (fiddlers) with his band. He is a great talent.

  • Awesome video, of my favorite singers. I have file sharing program. but hanks family won't be losing any cause I ain't sellin' nothin. just thank you because it's damn hard to find real country music these days I'm only 25 still to young t'know who thompson is,but i've said enough already sojust thank you

  • This was a GREAT crew! We met Pee Wee last year at Wichita Falls. Great musician as were all of the Brazos Valley Boys. Thanks for posting!

  • PeeWee Whitewing is my father. I sent him a link to the video as I am sure that he will enjoy seeing it. Thanks for posting it. The question is... how can we get a copy?

  • @awhitewing , My dad use to play with too ( Bob White / fiddler, lft)

  • @marywages with PeeWee I meant.

  • Roger: You're making me shiver all over when I hear Hank do these great tunes of the 50's & 60's. Great seeing PeeWee and Bob white playing those twin steels; The greatest Big Band sound in those days of C/W Music.Thanks, Bernie

  • bless you for osting this song hapeters! i guess i was 14 when i used to listen to this song. remember other songs of the time? hank williams- hey good lookin. who sang honky tonk angels followed by it was god that made honky tonk angels? wasn't that c&w when it was music?

  • @latykai Kitty Wells. She is still alive and I think she still does shows. She married Johnny Wright of Johnny and Jack.

  • Who did the newer version in the mid '90's? I can't remember.

  • R.I.P. Hank

  • A pleasure to see Pee Wee Whitewing and I think Bob White on twin steels.
