[jlcourtoreille]

fail! dont play hanks songs like this!

[jaytoddmartin]

VCR we meet again ;-) Great video here of Dwight! thanks.

[itsmefarting]

he got tight butt sexy

[eastrockaway11518]

this has to be from the 80s

[firemandrew]

Can't speak for the others, but best I've ever seen in concert by far.

[jackdbone53]

Linda, Call Morris n them we gonna have us a party!

[adamtzsch]

Besides, Karl's liable to bust a spring...

[murad423]

Dwight truly murdered this beautiful tune, flushed it in the toilet ....... if you want to hear a great version, check out the Carpenters

[ericjaramillo69]

yeah none of these covers are good to me anyway if you like them cool but i dont like the way they did it

[baysidesmart]

very sexxxy

[jasonbaxterpiano]

2 chords Genius!!! Cajun rocks!!

[twotimetes]

He has that great gountry whang like hank senior ......

[thestoryplease]

How to make a classic sound like any other tune. Sorry but he can't hold a candle to Hank.

[MrHardworker09]

dwight ruined this song and he is a real arsehole in real life. Terrible performance at his show

[FolsomAngel]

@MrHardworker09 Amen brother. I love his music, but he can be a real jerk in person and towards the crowds at his concerts.

[5642560]

Sorry this video just does not do it for me.

[guitarplayntaylor91]

Don't you feel bad for six people who disliked this song?

[7string06]

I like the video! I think he could have put a little more "passion" into it, because it can be a real "hellraiser" of a dancing song!  I love the way he puts different spins on some of the beloved country singers of the "golden years"!

[Gimmal1492]

He's done some really challenging things with the rhythm, in the chorus on this cover. That off-beat syncopation, that's live.

The fiddle seems a little thrown-in - it doesn't make much of a presence in the rest of the song - but it's real, too - and who doesn't love an original country song with real fiddle in it?

[DrClawizdead]

I can't fault Dwight cause he's a great talent but this song sin't for him. He's tearing the soul right out of it.

Hank Williams and maybe Billy Craddock are the only ones to really nail it.

[busholiday]

@DrClawizdead Agreed. This version is second rate.

[hillarychapman1]

swingin'

[southernkyredneck]

This goes to show you a good ol Kentucky boy can sing

[frankmike65]

nice slide

[ronnierayjenkins]

r u serious

[BigWheelHawaii]

Aloha Red Dog,,,

Thanks for posting this, what a great talent Dwight

is...

[62rome]

well i guess it's the thought that counts.

[mrfunguy]

this arrangement is A+ and the back up vocal is perfect, no wonder he became such a success. (comment from a retired music biz record rater)

[darkhorse2guns]

Dwight always gives big respect to the Fathers!!

[randimor62]

I just loooove this man...

[jleakos]

weak, just like every other version i can find on youtube. why does nobody post the ames bros? i have looked for so long

[samdon815]

Can't believe that this is the same guy in " Sling Blade "

[miladymell]

another great vid. I like his tex/mex take on this song too.

[psychobillybert]

Realy Cool. Dwight is one of the best. Old Hank I am sure is far from rolling over in his grave over any injustice that may have been commited(none). Seeing as how Keney Chesney and Garth Brookes records continue to sell I think country music has more to fear than a man who has spent his career showing America how great this genre can be again.

[jtourangeau]

ya...too bad every single artist dosnt sing , play,and sound like ol'Hank.We wouldnt have to call it music anymore,or artists,just hank...If u want to listen to someone else, dont click on DWIGHT!!!

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

This guy is a joke compared with Hank Williams.

[jcpons1967]

The song were going so god, until they fucked it at 1:13 with a sound out of tune!!

[09guitarfrk]

what a disgrace hanks rollin over right now.i like dwight he mst be drunk

[134625798258]

i think ol hank would be proud

[JamesMatchboxLee]

Its A Tex-Mex Sound That Buddy Holly Used In " Not Fade Away "...... Dwight Prolly Took This From Him,,

[randimor]

You are the best Dwight. Love you forever..

[walkingeagle100]

singin 4 shit he would t get a smell,,,,,,,,//

[fiddlinfingerz]

i dont like his version.....awkward beat for this song

[RyanIncorporated]

I had a found a slightly better version of this song by Dwight elsewhere on YouTube that I thought might make the beat sound a bit better for you, but it's apparently been removed for some reason...if it was due to terms of use or some BS like that, I sure don't see the "rightful owner" posting it here...

[roses756]

I never heard him do this bayou music

before.

He does it really well.

Really impressed.

Thanks for posting.

I love the bayous in Louisiana.

[rynelld]

Hey Lady reptile wrestler, I love this too and the bayous too. Still have my feeling hurt about the concert in NM April 24th and I was so nervous for nothing ...but it was a great concert I wish I had run into Navahogirl as she took pic's that night and I was dumb enough to honor the "no cameras" request!

[eclecticsteph]

DWIGHT.... BEST  country singer out there today. The rest pale. Sing some MORE Dwight, we NEED you.

[vic7077]

@eclecticsteph Amen! Dwight is King!



[Evantheowl]

not as good as ol'Hank. but Damn! he's got the BEST Country music voice..

and "he shudna done that... he was just a boy.. mmhm" (-Slingblade.. for those who may not know.)

[AHKEcrew1112]

[buckwheat39]

good job of it we have fun down here in the bayous where i live hey dwight let me be yall represenative when these big hurricanes come rolling through

[texaspilcher]

We could have one helluva hurricane party!

[McTony0]

It'd be "Jambalaya", but "Down at the Twist and Shout", huh?

I love Dwight, but I don't like this song slow.

[tommen280681]

[StevenGA1011]

[XxMafiaSoljaxX]

thibedeaux......whoooohooooooo­o

[1776freedom]

This ole Cajun boy loves this song. When the fiddle kicks in, it was heaven.

[californiavolcano]

Everyone does it in their version, as a tribute to the song.

[MFIORE7511]

Why did he do it ala Bo Didley,I love Bo but duit like Hank !!

[JerryBen]

I heard about Dwight just some weeks ago. I like his music a lot- It's a pitty to live in Germany. We do have some great countrybands and bars here- but it's not the same as it is in the States. His lyrics are great and he does well renditions to old countrysongs- as he does here to Hanks song...

[NickeyWhitfield]

@JerryBen Not a pitty to live in Germany, though.

[Just4Meeeee]

@JerryBen - Is there really a market for American country music in Germany? I was thinking about touring there if there was enough interest to pay the bills with.

[petsr4ever07]

This is one song that sticks with ya. I love it, no matter who sings it. My husband hates it, so today I drove him crazy playing all the different versions of it.

[BenHallove]

I just love this song, and with Dwight it's fantastic! ;)

[shedcat]

oh wow......this is a gem! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. There really isn't anything Dwight can't sing. :D
