Hank Williams III - "Jambalaya" - October 21, 1995 - backed by The Statesiders & Statesider Singers

Here's another performance by Hank Williams III. On October 21, 1995, Crook & Chase (Lorianne Crook & Charlie Chase) came to the Mel Tillis Theatre in Branson, MO to promote their new book. Joining them onstage for the festivities were Mel Tillis, Glen Campbell, Charley Pride and Hank Williams III. Here is Hank III singing, "Jambalaya". All of the performers that day were backed by The Statesiders and The Statesider Singers (including The Stutterettes). Hank III was 22 years old in this clip.

Scary how much he resembles Hank Sr.

[@crazycatlady4551]

The resemblance is uncanny! I've seen him sing songs of his granddaddy's. This is the first one that actually sounded just like Hank S, tho other's are close. Considering the type of music he usually sings, that's quite an accomplishment! God bless him from straying from his usual genre to honor his granddaddy❤❤

Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free. Romans 3:23 John 3:16❤😊

[@jasonmccain9544]

No doubt! It's amazing that music can last for 3 generations like that, I have only known that in one other family (the makems, sarah makem and her husband in the first generation, tommy makem and his brother jack makem in the second, and the makem brothers, rory, conor and shane Makem, the 3 sons of tommy makem, in the 3rd)

I can listen to his music all note and love it. I'm looking for several of his albums and do appreciate the way he treats his fans. Hard to find now days it seems. Most of the singers today walk all over their fans no matter what they try to càll it. I call it rude. Everyone of them wouldn't be where they are without fans right. I'm looking forward to seeing trio in person. The ultimate performance would be him and whiskey Meyers on same stage . WOW
