"I'm So Lonesome, I Could Cry" is probably the most lyrically perfect song that's ever been written... Hank was considered "The Hillbilly Shakespeare" because he used incredibly simple words to paint incredibly graphic images. Modern Country music has NOTHING on that of the late 1940s through the early Sixties... In the period, those Artists melded Black Blues, Jazz and Jump music, Hillbilly and Hawaiian, the music of Central Europe... You name it. Somewhere along the line, every Genre unfortunately became really homogeneous and the influences of other cultures that was so prevalent in the early days went out the window.... Which, in my opinion, kind of wrecked music and changed it from a true Art Form that brought us Mere Mortals all closer together, to just another THING that was purposely manufactured by The Powers That Be, to further divide us.

Yeah, that guy's "reaction" was a bit lame. On the other hand, Hank is something that doesn't open up properly the first time you hear him. At least to modern listeners who are used to different kind of music. And also worth noticing is that Hanks' performance was made before Elvis started to shake his hips. The music performances were not that wild those days.

I think this is similar to when people read "Jane Eyre" today and don't know the history of it. They think, oh, it's the stereotypical Gothic novel. Well, yes, it is. Because once it was published everyone carried on in that vein. What Mr. Williams did was bring brilliantly articulate lyrics into his writing. He also sang off meter. But I think the most poignant part of what makes this song so good is that he was writing about his wife, Audrey. He loved her and he loved her little girl Lycretia like she was his own daughter. But Audrey was a stone, cold bitch. And yes, he did cheat on her but that was also a two way street. Hank Williams became one of the most influential artists in country music and had a huge catalog of work but his national fame really only lasted about three years. He died at age 29 from the ravages of heart disease, alcohol and drugs. If you would like more understanding of his popularity, "Hank Williams: the Biography" by Colin Scott is a really good book. It goes into not only his life but music theory and structure with the songs...much more than I as a civilian really understand. Thank you for the channel, I always enjoy your postings.

Some of my favorites are; Six More Miles To The Graveyard, I’m so lonesome I could cry, if you loved me half as much as I love you, you win again, your gonna change or I’m gonna leave, I can’t help it if I’m still in love with you, some day you’ll call my name.

Hank lived a painful, short life. He was plagued with health issues which included chronic back pain that pushed him to alcohol addiction and drug use like many do. And also a woman, there's always a woman in the story, who tried to help him back up and he fell hard for her but she didn't feel the same way. As you said, just coming to this music now makes it hard to go back and realize that this is where a lot of country music was born. Growing up I heard my momma play many of the old country stars so it's a little like home. Rumor has it that when he was trying to get a record deal, a producer told him that if he's a songwriter, write him a song. The producer left the room and came back a while later and Hank sang this song for him which he wrote right there in his office. Like so many artists, pain and hurt fuel the deep emotions that drive the music and it touches us.

An incredibly prolific and gifted songwriter, he wrote classics such as this song, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (my favorite, and one you should definitely listen to), Hey Good-Lookin', Kaw-Lija, Your Cheatin' Heart, I Saw The Light, Jambalaya, Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do, and so many more! You'll be amazed to see the list of all the songs this man wrote before he passed away at the age of 29. I doubt very many of today's country singers will write songs that singers 70-80 years from now will still be singing.

Because I grew up my whole life (29 years) listening to him, and I only ever saw pictures or short clips without audio. So it make him seem so real, in a weird way, when I saw and heard him speaking live for the first time. Made me badly wish I could jump through the screen and be there in person.. and possibly do something to save him.

So country evolved from this , probably Jimmy Rogers was first. Being the Father of a movement is the pinnacle. In other words you wouldn't have today if he hadn't started it. Died young, wrote 500 songs among them " I saw the Light" my favorite, Have you listened to Hank Williams Jr? Well this is his father. Hank Williams is deeply honored in country music, everybody that sings it has deep respect for this man.

Literally at the beginning , ground zero for what became known as Country Music , were the recording sessions in Bristol in summer of 1929 . From those sessions emerged two acts that were not only highly sucuessful , but massively influenced everyone that came after . The Carter Family , and Jimmie Rodgers . That generation was among the Influences of Hank Sr , who was the greatest ever for Singing And Songwriting . Cash was obviously great , and on the all time short list of Singing And Songwriting, along with his contemporary , Merle Haggard .

I think I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is an amazing acknowledgement of being alone and dreading the future. Hank Williams may not have been sophisticated but he was very savvy about the angst of modern life. By modern, I mean post-Depression and post-WWII. He died when he was 29. Try to imagine the songs he could have written had he lived another 29 years.

This song is entirely relatable, to me at least, and doubtless to a host of others. Having been in the position of loving someone who could not reciprocate due to a horrific past experience, the wall she put up was too high to climb and too thick to breach. As it's been said, " Hurt people hurt people." Hank sings it as someone who must have been there, who experienced it all and can't understand why he can't break through despite his best efforts. If you've never been down that road, it may be a bit difficult to grasp it, but as far as my experience goes, he nailed it perfectly.

I got introduced to him through Lovesick Blues, which even with its flaws (in part due to an EXTREMELY rushed studio session where no one else wanted to do the song), pulled me in. The feeling he could put into songs with two chords! I'm surprised but happy to see, in the comments, in 2021, so many others sharing a similar love for his music

So if anyone asks me underground is nothing more than the outlaws of the old days doing it their way.

I live ten minutes from the location this video was produced. They give tours of the studio, It was a weekly radio program (later it was televised) during the 50s-60s. Roy Acuff and Minnie Pearl were the hosts of the program and Roy built his house on the property in his advanced years so he could greet the studio audience on show nights. The transformation of the country genre from the 1950s to the present has changed drastically. Listen to Hank William's son he goes by the same name Hank Williams JR. his songs Born to Boogie or A country boy can survive.

Oh the young. Glad you are finally hearing something of American "folk" (not the genre folk music) sounds. But can't believe a person who knows so much of analyzing voice has never heard of Hank Williams. So much better than most musicians today who are popular with this generation. Words not over whelmed by loud instruments but rather the two working together in harmony. But glad you approved. Means so much to the millions who loved his voice. My favorite of his 'Caligula' and 'Hey, Good Looking'. When I was young I didn't appreciate country music of the day associating it with ignorance and poverty. Country was the story of the people of the time. Although, I wasn't a country fan, preferring Classical, because my folks liked it, I did learn though two songs. Once at a lunch counter, when I was maybe 6 or seven, "Hey, Hey, Good Looking" was playing and I guess I was singing along because the counter person turned the radio off and offered me $1 to sing the song. I did. Speaking of not knowing older music-- one day during lunch period I was In my classroom when a young man came in and asked with some astonishment what I was listening to. It was some 50s music " rock"( (which I didn't much care for until I got older). I told him and asked him if he liked it and he said very much and sat down to listen. This was a child of the rap culture.

I grew up in the rural Midwest in the 1950s listening to Hank Williams. He was my father's favorite singer. He's the emblematic country singer of the late 40s-50s; he set a tone and style that influenced everyone who came after him. As a child, I hated it. I'd leave the room when his songs came on the radio. I couldn't listen to any of it. It wasn't until the 1970s that I re-discovered Hank Williams and developed some appreciation for his music. At the same time I ran across Willie Nelson, Li'l Jimmy Dickens, Faron Young, Patsy Cline and a few other classic country artists. It's still not a genre that I 'love', especially today's 'country-western' is just not my thing at all, but I have to admit there's something special about old school country artists like Hank.

My high school band director is a huge jazz fan. He said that listening to country even long enough to hear the school closures in the winter would leave him depressed. Yet, he had high praises for Hank's voice. When you at what he's saying and remember he died when he was 29, the lyrics are really deep. When you listen to, day, "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry", the imagery is deep. Think about the silence of a falling star as it lights up the purple sky or painting the picture of a robin weeping as the leaves begin to fall. That's deep.
