Alan Jackson - Midnight in Montgomery | Metal / Rock Fans First Time Reaction with Found North

Metal / rock fans first time reaction to Alan Jackson's "Midnight in Montgomery" while checking out some Found North.

[@beckywiegers3315]

Midnight trains, whippoorwill, purple sky, and then he tells you he’s so lonesome he could cry - he just saw Hank. Senior.

[@timeforchange3786]

He was also known for his Nudie Suits as mentioned in the beginning.

[@larynanntapp6333]

As soon as you hear "so lonesome....", that's when you know it's about Hank!

[@celiagorleski2716]

Hank died between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in the back seat of a car. Hank's buried in Montgomery.

[@TheRonnie63]

The song isabout seeing HANK WILLIAMS.SR GHOST

[@sabbyvk424]

This was filmed at Hank Sr’s grave. I’ve spent many nights drinking and listening to music with Jamey Johnson, Wayne Mills, and a few others. I worked for a bar, about 10 miles from Montgomery and whenever big name artists would come in to play, they always wanted to go sit and play at Hank’s grave to pay tribute. Definitely seen and heard some crazy stuff out there. Things you definitely have to be there to believe!! Loved the reaction guys ❤

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

That's pretty crazy. And cool. - Keith

[@lincolnlewis6979]

@@BourbonCountryReacts not one of my favorite Alan Jackson songs..but enjoyed your reaction as usual...by the way, most of the lyrics were references to Hank Williams Sr. songs..Hear that lonesome whip poor will, was from the song "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

[@davey3884]

I love this song, its somewhat similar to David Allen Coe's "The Ride" its also about running into the ghost of Hank Sr. Also Bob Seger doesn't have a song called on the road again. You may be referring to Turn the Page, which is a masterpiece.

[@sandramoore]

I was thinking the same thing. I was about to recommend The Ride by DAC, but you did it for me. Guess we both like the great songs.

[@jerricocke987]

From the very first line midnight in Montgomery Hank died while on his way to doing a New Year's Eve show and he very very successfully about the feeling of visiting Hank and Montgomery. I absolutely love this song. In this was an absolutely great reaction.

[@reneerollins4433]

I live in Montgomery about a mile from his grave. Sometimes I sit outside at night , early morning and listen to the trains going into the yard and I always think of Hank

[@lorenchavis-waldrop1570]

I think you are talking about Turn the Page from Bob Seger. Both have that haunting melody. With Seger’s song you hear it with the saxophone. With Alan it is the guitar.

[@ambergerber5162]

Yeah I was wondering if keith was talking about Turn The Page because if the song is called On The Road I can't find it anywhere.

[@donnaewe3692]

Alan Jackson's my all time favorite- he's the one who 'converted' me to country 30 yrs ago ;-) ❤ This is my favorite Alan Jackson song & my favorite 'in the moment' memory ever comes from this song at one of Alan's concerts back in the mid 90s❤️‍🔥 In this video, Alan's at Hank Williams Sr's grave in AL - ive been there & you do feel Hank there ❤ And yes Keith 🎯, Most 'real' country music is written in minor keys - that's how it gets you in the feels ;-) There are So many subtle 'nods' to Hank Sr in this song. One ex., Dustin, the reference to "whippoorwill" is just one of the references to Hank Sr's song, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (my fav Hank Sr song). You can't go wrong with Alan Jackson- he's got 26 number one hits in his career so far, most of which he's written. 😊 Thank you, great reaction!

[@aliciaadams5356]

You're Welcome for the song choice! Thank you Stephen for the contest! It is one of my absolute favorites from Alan. It is one of the most amazing tribute songs. I was a little worried about your reaction after Brad Paisely's This Is Country Music went, but I had a feeling you would like this one.

[@rogerlay8183]

This song is a throwback to songs of the late 60s early 70s. It was especially poignant at the time, not only because of the Hank Williams imagery, but because at the time everyone was saying Country Music was loosing its roots. By the use of the steel guitar in the song, he was demonstrating that Country's roots were still firmly in place

[@757optim]

Alan and King George proved traditional country was still legit. Their duet on "Murder On Music Row" was symbolic.

[@timeforchange3786]

The steel guitar is my favorite instrument. There is nothing better than a steel guitar and fiddle in a country song.

[@donnaewe3692]

Facts! ❤

[@barbarahighlander8840]

He's at Hanks grave. Many of the words were from Hanks songs including the whippoorwill. My nephew tells me that the feeling that you are friends with someone you interact with on social media is called a parasocial relationship. I do have actual in-the-flesh friends but I spend a lot of time, alone. Soooo, bring on the parasocial relationships.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I've never heard of that term. I'll look it up. - Keith

[@ranger-1214]

Silver Eagle (and Golden Eagles) were speciality busses in both Europe and the U.S. for companies such as Greyhound and Continental Trailways. Many, many touring groups modified them for their own use. I once worked construction with a guy who had one of Willie’s old busses, and went on welding jobs with it instead of a travel trailer. It was very nice but I was always afraid it was full of hidden stashes and we’d get busted! :-). As mentioned by others, do Hank’s song “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” and compare lyrics to Alan’s song. If you look up a photo of Hank’s grave it is the same as in the video, including the hat. He and Audrey have the same side-by-side monuments. A great song and tribute. Hank loved the suits made by Nudie Cohn so that reference too.

[@donnaewe3692]

I believe George Jones traveled in a Silver Eagle tour bus as well ;-)

[@stevebournite184]

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

I encourage yall to also google Nudie suits (referenced near the beginning) if you don't already know what they are

[@TimedRevolver]

This isn't exactly a tribute song. Multiple country singers have claimed to meet Hank Sr. after his death. This song is basically a country ghost story.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

That's pretty wild. - Keith

[@lizmorris78]

Hank Sr was always a hero of Alan’s.

[@tracylamb2971]

Great reaction! 1st time I heard the song, when I caught the 'wearing shiny boots, a Nudie suit, and haunted, haunted eyes'. I knew it was a tribute song. Montgomery told me who.. it still puts a year in my eyes.

[@genemartin6962]

"You hear that Lonesome Whiporwill, He sounds too Blue to fly, That Midnight train is whining low.....I'm so Lonesome I could Cry" Best Country Line ever written...and it uses several minor chords, way before any rock band discovered that.

Back in the 90s, Alan came to Montgomery in concert. I knew he would be going to the cemetery to see Hank and play this song. I snuck into the cemetery and was hiding behind headstones to hear this song. Good times...

[@nanklein1238]

Living 25 miles from Montgomery and knowing Hank spent many years in Montgomery Ala we from deep south knew who this song was about .His gravesite is visited by many fans each year.

[@greeneyelove2003]

I was so excited when I saw this uploaded. Alan Jackson has so many great songs but this one is in a class all its own. It is a tribute to a legend by a man who will quite likely one day be considered a legend himself, if he isn't already. The way the video is filmed, his voice, it was brilliant. His voice and the haunting quality of the video just pull you in. There are quite a few tributes to Hank Sr. but this is best. There is another which is a close second, called "The Ride" by David Allan Coe. You guys have listened to a version of "The Ride" with the title switched to "The Last Ride" and the lyrics changed some to be a tribute to Dale Earnhardt rather than Hank Sr. Now, I am not a NASCAR fan and I mean no disrespect to the dead, but David Allan Coe's version was by far superior. That said, a major shout out to Stephen for being totally cool! Also, glad that Dustin is still being called Dustin and not 'The Other Dustin' as was threatened in the last video. I tossed this suggestion out once, around Christmas, I think but I am going to throw it out there again. You guys should do a video of your top ten favorite Bourbons, each from a different price range - with Mother's Day coming up next month and Father's Day in June, it would be a great sort of 'gift guide' for those of us who know a Bourbon drinker but aren't confident enough to know what to get them. As always, another great reaction. Keep 'em coming.

[@stevebournite184]

Thanks and that is a good recommendation for maybe a live video. Do top 10 bourbons and ryes

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Huh. The top 10 thing could actually be a live video since we wouldn't have any copyrighted material in it. The challenge may be that we may not have example bottles on hand for some of our favorites. Hmm. I'll talk this over with Dustin and see if we think it's feasible. - Keith

[@WaymoresBlues]

This is another of the several songs to be written about the ghost of Hank Williams or in tribute to that great man(and one of the few not recorded by Hank Jr or David Allen Coe). Its practically a sub genre of Country Music at this point. In that so called sub genre I would list the song 'The Ride' by David Allen Coe far and away the best and followed closely behind would be the live version of Coe's other great rendition of a song about a spectre, and coincidentally titled 'The Ghost of Hank Williams'. I also greatly appreciate this classic song by the great Alan Jackson, a man whose shelf of music awards would be filled to the rafters if not for losing out so many times to that unique musical phenomenon known as Garth Brooks. As Alan Jackson himself alluded to on one of those rare occasions, at that time, that Alan Jackson did actually win one of those prestigous awards, when upon receiving it and in geatitude he did take the time to thank Garth Brooks for not being nominated in that category. Now this song 'Midnight in Montgomery' may have a rather sad tone to it but not nearly as sad as what might happen to you if you were to go and visit the gravesite of Hank Williams at the stroke of Midnight in that crime ridden section of Montgomery, Alabama where he is buried because you too might risk losing your own life and find yourself to have become a ghost, just like Ol' Hank Williams himself.🤔

[@almlee110]

It's funny that whippoorwills annoy Dustin. I grew up in rural Alabama and I am 54. As kids we couldn't wait to hear the whippoorwills because we allowed to go bare food outside. Drove my Mom nuts because she was born in Indiana and thought it was nuts. Once we heard the whippoorwills it didn't matter what the temp or weather we could go outside barefoot. Can remember going out in the snow barefooted one year Mama was pissed, Daddy laughed and we lasted about 10 min in snow before we were back in house trying to get our feet warm. You guys are great

[@jscountrygirl85_326]

I was so excited to see you reacting to this! I've loved this song ever since I was seven, and it's still one of my all time favorite Alan Jackson songs. I always thought this song was as traditional country as they come, so it's pretty neat that Keith could still hear some rock elements in it that I'd never noticed until he mentioned them. Besides the cool ghost story in the lyrics, I just love the haunting steel guitar and fiddle parts, throughout, which give it the perfect atmosphere. And yes, this is a tribute song that's much more my speed, too! For me, this song is just one example of the many great classic songs we got out of the early 90's in country music, and I personally consider that period a golden era for the genre. Alan has many more classics from this era like: "Someday," "She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got The Blues)," "Tonight I Climbed The Wall," "Dallas," "Here In The Real World," "Wanted," "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow," "Love's Got A Hold On You," etc. Other country songs from 1992 I'd recommend: "Past The Point Of Rescue" by Hal Ketchum, "I'll Think Of Something" by Mark Chesnutt, "Burn Me Down" by Marty Stuart, "Neon Moon" and "Lost And Found" by Brooks & Dunn, "Wrong Side Of Memphis" by Trisha Yearwood, "If I Didn't Have You" by Randy Travis, "Burn One Down" by Clint Black, "Take Your Memory With You" by Vince Gill, "Outbound Plane" by Suzy Bogguss, "Is it Cold in Here" and "Ships That Don't Come In" by Joe Diffie, "I Saw The Light" and "She Is His Only Need" by Wynonna Judd, "Some Kind Of Trouble" and "Two Sparrows In A Hurricane" by Tanya Tucker, "Sacred Ground" by McBride & The Ride, "Today's Lonely Fool" and "Somebody Paints The Wall" by Tracy Lawrence, "The Tips Of My Fingers" by Steve Wariner, "Jealous Bone" by Patty Loveless, "Just Call Me Lonesome" by Radney Foster, "What Kind Of Fool Do You Think I Am" by Lee Roy Parnell, "Jesus And Mama" by Confederate Railroad, "Straight Tequila Night," "When It Comes To You," and "Seminole Wind" all by John Anderson.

I've heard whipporwills a lot. Only ever hear them late at night. I can actually remember the first time I heard one as a kid. My parents got into another fight/argument and dad ran us off one evening. We lived miles out in the woods. My mom carrying my little brother, and my sister and I walked about 3 miles down the road. Got a ride in the back of a truck with a couple that drove past us. Mom gave them a fake story, and had them drop us off at some house a few miles down the road. It was night time, and there were no lights. We were going to continue walking down the road as soon as they drove off. But a guy from the house came out before we could walk very far from his house, and he told us to stop and come to him or he'd shoot us. Mom gave him a fake story too about our car being broke down. I think he offered some kind of help, but mom refused. We continue to walk about half a mile down the road, and stopped and took a break at an entrance/gate to a field. Wooded hills surrounded us. It was probably around 3-4am. And we could hear a whipporwill calling in the distance. It was interesting hearing that sound for the first time. It's quite unique.. But now I do find it annoying. I feel like I've heard them a lot around rivers or lakes. And to me it always feels like a reminder that it's super late, and the sun will be rising in at least a few hours, and I'm not going to get an ounce of sleep. Even if I tried, the sound of the call, and the reminder of the sunrise coming, it will keep me awake.

There are a lot of hints throughout the song talking about Hank Sr, that you wouldn't catch if not familiar with Hanks music.

I love this song, its somewhat similar to David Allen Coe's "The Ride" its also about running into the ghost of Hank Sr.

Good review. Have always like Tim McGraw's tribute to Hank called "The Ride" (2003) Worth a listen.

That will honestly have to be a bribe, don't think it can get enough votes, cause most don't know Hank Sr
