Alan Jackson “Midnight In Montgomery” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@redstateforever]

“The silence of a falling star, lights up a purple sky. And as I wonder where you are, I’m so lonesome I could cry”. Hank Sr. wrote that when he was 26 years old. A true poet, who left an indelible mark, dead at 29.

[@_S.D._]

This is by far my favorite Alan Jackson song, it's hauntingly beautiful. This what it sounds like when a country legend gives another country legend his flowers.

[@bayleeryleeshuman7136]

Anything Alan Jackson does is worth listening too!

[@lynnpethick578]

Amen to that

[@ZitaZone]

He is singing about Hank Williams Sr. Alan wrote a heck of a song. It’s haunting

[@SpotownProductions]

Alan is an incredible writer that's for sure

[@SRTBOAT]

Easily my favorite country song. Absolute masterpiece and a great tip of the hat to an old time great.

[@carollittle1059]

Alan can sing and write anything. He was all about doing pure and true Country music like all the greats of the past.

[@JP-wg4uo]

It’s an Eerie song about Hank Sr. ghost 👻

[@mikecourtney8618]

Another good one is "The Ride" by David Allen Coe

[@clunkers948]

@@mikecourtney8618 oh yeah

[@patrickheffernan7798]

@@mikecourtney8618 , I was about to suggest that one

[@cruzntx]

Thank you for playing a great country singer, Alan Jackson.

[@timnew3354]

It's actually allen Jackson's tune, upchurch did a remake of it, not vice versa

[@stephenoffutt7037]

Like Alan Jackson would have to copy whoever the hell Upchurch is...lol

[@michaelfowler436]

Allen Jackson has a gospel album called Precious Memories. It's all Traditional Hymn's. It is so good! The Man can Sang!

[@tequila_mockingbird547]

One of my favorite songs of his. He’s such an awesome storyteller. You really can’t go wrong w one of his songs.

[@busymom4kc]

My favorite Alan Jackson song. The tribute to Hank Sr makes it fabulous.

[@richardsmith7230]

He's actually talking about Hank Williams Sr. Not the third. Still an eerie song

[@j.r.fishing9964]

Hank William sr is a God in country music and a alabama legend 🤠him and his song music will never die❤️

[@donnastupka7507]

Love this one! Being a fan of both Alan & Hank I loved this story!! Great job !!🤠🎶🤠

[@rocklove1977]

Love Alan Jackson🎸🎤🎶💓

[@jessicaduncan5706]

His gospel is amazing ❤️

[@bethhutto3138]

Love this song! You really should have seen the official video! You really feel like you are there and the chill it gives you!

[@vivianphillips8519]

No BJ...he wasn't talking about Hank Williams the 3rd. He was talking about the same person everyone means when they mention Hank. The amazing Hank Williams Senior.

[@CMATT850]

This is a tribute to Hank Williams Sr. Stopping to pay hommage where he's buried and seeing his ghost while he's there. It's great. David allen coe has a song called the ride about picking hanks ghost up hitchhiking. It's also fantastic

[@reneerollins4433]

I'm from Montgomery and live just down the road from the graveyard. The trains really do sound off at night and early morning. True story...my niece is a photographer and one Saturday night real late she wanted to take some pictures of his grave and we were there when a big bus pulled in. It stopped and a guy got out and asked us if we could go on our way and give them some privacy. We'll we were like who are you? Turns out it was Dwight' Yokam and his bunch. They had done a concert and wanted to see the grave that Alan Jackson had wrote the song about. 🎵

[@jackthomas6952]

Wow!!! No shit??

[@briangulley6027]

If you haven't heard Hank Sr. "I'm so Lonesome I could cry" this song don't make much since.

[@jameslay5236]

Love Alan! Dig into his catalog ✌️🥃

[@CaptainCowboy476]

Alan Jackson "Red on a Rose" You will not be dissapointed.

[@danielslover8669]

I love that y’all are reaching to good old country music. There is a lot of stuff that is referenced to artists before them. You can’t catch up in months. I’ve heard it for 48 years and still get surprised by songs from the old days.

[@beegee1960]

Not Hank Williams, III, It was Hank Williams, Sr. III’s grandfather.

[@kristinamitchell4602]

He was singing about Hank Sr.

[@julien.4617]

It's a tribute to Hank Williams Sr., not Hank Williams III. The song uses a lot of lines from Hank Sr.'s songs.

[@mattbrentlinger1078]

Please check more of Allan’s stuff. He’s sick and retired but I hope he will be around to hear the deserved love from folks.

[@cuttnhorse2013]

You need to watch Alan’s official video of this song ❤!

[@richgoebel882]

This isn't the original Hank Sr. Tribute. This song is about Hank. In 1983 David Allen Coe recorded a song that describes a personal interaction with a ghost driving an antique Cadillac while hitch-hiking to Nashville. The ghost advises/admonishing him about making it in country music. "Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings..." At the end, the ghost reveals himself, "the whole world calls me Hank...." The verses are slow, the chorus is upbeat. Find the album version, or a live performance because there are additional lyrics taken out of the radio version most people are familiar with. Those lyrics are especially relevant to the song.

[@fredjohnson7588]

This song is perfect I'm not a huge country fan but I do love alan jackson

[@SidewaysEightSix]

This is the original song it’s Alan Jackson giving tribute to Hank. Church is a remix that gives tribute to Hank, but also to Alan Jackson who wrote it.

[@benjaminscott8198]

My youngest older brother loves this song. He's a huge country fan. Me and 2 of my sister's used to scare TF outta him during this song because he would be so engrossed in the video.

[@1lthrnk]

This was originally a David Allen Coe song

[@robertdurdinjr3638]

Should’ve watched video of this

[@johnnugent6516]

It’s a tribute song to Hank Williams Senior

He's talking about hank sr. Hank jr. Dad

[@patriciapicou1096]

it's the ghost of hank williams he is singing about, hank was known to be a big drinker

[@rhiahlMT]

Alan Jackson doesn't block his videos. Neither does Brad Paisley and I can't find it here. 😁😁 Start with Paisley's "Alcohol". The music video.

[@donnabost4445]

this was wrote by Alan, but has been covered by a few others.....Still Alan's is the best !!!!

[@melissagerber7231]

I saw cool performance, with a cutout of Hank Williams in the shadows.

The video makes it hit even harder

[@nestea8385]

How have y'all ever gotten through life without listening to Country Music? LOL

[@TROUSDALE1313]

Someday by him is his best song

Check out David Allan Coe's similar song called "the ride".

[@johoney5458]

Alan Jackson and Jeff Foxworthy did a feel good song called Redneck Games

[@michaeldunkin7553]

I really enjoy your reactions. Could you react to one of my favorite Country and Western Artist Ricky Van Shelton. He also did a recording with Dolly Parton "Rockin Years". Thank you

[@waymore4472]

One thing I know is I can always hit the Like Button even before y'all start cause I know it's gonna be good!

[@jasonvernon1046]

A little more upbeat but similar, check out The Ride by David Allen Coe.

[@p.j.d.8199]

Try a Judd's song. Everyone reacts to "Grampa tell me bout the good ol days" but try "Give a little love", "Girls night it" or "No one else on earth"

[@jfree336]

The song is full of references to Hank Williams songs…..

[@texadan314]

You two are looking sharp tonight.

[@jgray1711]

[@devinlong5400]

Monday Morning Church is a really great song, y'all should check Politics Religion and her by Sammy Kershaw and A night to remember by Joe Diffie

[@johnlewandowski8624]

Listen to Hank Williams, learn his story, and listen and react to I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and you'll understand it better than you already do!

[@dalehammers4425]

This song is so much more powerful if you know what its about.

Hank Sr is countrys Tupac .

[@kurtwhiddon6751]

I think y’all did upchurch’s remake to this!!

[@descendantoffools9767]

You should check out the live version of Bonnie Raitt singing Angel From Montgomery.

[@LadyGator1983]

Since you’ve done the reaction to this song now, I’m giving y’all a link to a song by Tim McGraw. It’s a live concert. He does one song in the beginning and then he goes into a second song. That second song relates to the song y’all just reacted to “Midnight in Montgomery.” I don’t know how much reaction you’ve done with Tim McGraw, who is married to Faith Hill, but this is a live concert and I think this might open the door for more reactions of Tim.

[@jillw4983]

It's about Hand Williams Sr.

At certain times of the year, if you are lucky you can see the ghost car of hank Williams traveling between Montgomery Alabama and Southern Tennessee. It is there then it is gone.
