Hank Williams interview with Alexander City, AL. DJ Bob McKinnon March of 1950

[@jimmymartin9264]

I'm from Alexander city. I'm here now. I'm 25. He has a cabin here on lake Martin that has been made into a tourist attraction. He was locked up here as well. I love my hometown. I love hank

[@penisparker712]

It's crazy how magnetic his songs are. They go down very easily and it's hard to switch away. Once you start listening, your ear just stays with them til the end.

[@keeponrollin7922]

Absolutely perfect comment!

[@MrGerald50]

Hank was and is the greatest country song writer and singer.

[@aleksanderreljanovic]

Jerry Bumbacco after johnny cash

[@TheMalignantFilms]

After his son

[@valentino3191]

What a genuinely polite and nice man? Someone you’d want as a friend.

[@TheSkyghost1]

There has never been another performer like Hank Williams and may never be. He had the best of the best in his music. He just died to soon, he will never be forgotten.

[@davidsolomon5852]

[@daktariusa]

Damn, just you think you heard eveything there is, here is another Hank bit of history. Hope there is more. Thanks for putting this on

[@Guitcad1]

Interesting. His speaking voice is a lot deeper than I expected.

[@gskogman]

I realized I’ve never heard Hank talk and this was perfect. Thanks!

[@lindacuster1328]

I think kids today would love him.. They just have a chance to hear him.

[@BKBobbyDigital]

We need a dedicated repository for all the Hank stuff - he’s a real American treasure, the world needs this for posterity

[@melissamissileonard5047]

Hank Williams was/is absolutely one of The BEST & GREATEST SINGER/SONGWRITERS to ever have been BORN...!!! Love This!! 💗 Also, just to hear 👂 him talking about "BOCEPHUS" !!! Is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, also!!! ✌👌👍

[@mikeyL67]

Somebody somewhere had to really clean this recording up, it sounds awesome. A lot of Hank's old recordings have that "old" pop and hiss, etc., but the singing and musicianship were always top notch. He was and will always remain the single best country songwriter that ever lived. Most of these new "country" ( and I use that word as loosely as possible) singers suck goat ass, pure and simple.

[@prowrestlingguy4934]

Greatest singer that ever lived

[@jaredison2708]

You've got that exactly right. He's my favorite artist of all time. Poor man had too many problems though. He struggled his whole life but that's what made his music so beautiful.

[@loverofcountry506070]

My Lord, here's another gem on Hank that I never knew about. How much more is still out there?

[@natzzef]

Thanks for sharing this. So nice to hear him talk and nice song too.

[@pickitup7008]

Awesome Audio!!! Thank you for posting!!

[@annettevaughn931]

My dad listened to him all the time...beloved man right there.

[@jtls8]

This was terrific!!! Thank you!!!

[@Brockspapa]

Hank was such a prolific songwriter and tried so hard to please Audrey. Bless the 'ole poor boy's heart ~BCK

[@DocPosey]

Thanks! AndI've never seen that picture when the song's playing. That's a great picture!!

[@mr.breeze8796]

The coolest thing was getting to hear him call his son Bocephus, that was awesome

[@leatherwulf]

Wow, Thanks for posting this. Dang... Thanks LW.

[@wthjrtx1]

I stopped at Hank's grave and it took all I had to hold the tears back. Our beloved SOUTH and how we have been punished. God bless all my SOUTHERN people. The first king of AMERICAN music!!

[@1sonofabiscuit837]

WT Hendrix It's not always about you guys you know?

[@Illcastashadow1]

This is mind-blowing. Always just picture his recorded songs and black n white pictures when I think of Hank Sr.

[@skinnyredneck180]

Hank was a funny guy. Check out his Mother's Best Flour show

[@Mrmikehoncho1992]

wow this is the first time ive heard his speaking voice :)

[@1339LARS]

Hank wrote about 700 songs !

[@rampageclover9788]

Just a regular guy doing a job he loved really...and a proud family man

[@donaldewert2332]

This is great, I never heard an interview with Hank Williams!!

[@alexanderblohme5044]

Coolest name of a town ever.... I must go to that city sometime

[@oscarhedden9524]

Hank spent a night in jail there.

[@joshgoggins3599]

Come on you will have a good time

[@alexbleks]

@@joshgoggins3599 it’s on my bucket list next time I visit USA :) been to Oak Hill, WV

[@alexbleks]

Will you take me for a tour in Alex City? :)

[@Mrmikehoncho1992]

Wow that sounds like it'd be very interesting to hear! I'm definitely gonna look into that, thank you very much!

[@mr.t6142]

Amazing recording, thanks for the historic recording post.

[@Funz2022]

The recording after the interview is a band overdubbed over Hank's original solo recording that's why it sounds so clean and out of place

[@jolynmcteigue8371]

Hank' daughter Jett Williams wrote a book by the same title as this song.

[@Nicki777888]

he was the greatest

[@psuttonsr]

Ya oughta get the MOTHERS BEST compilation put out by Time Life...Has him speaking, telling jokes etc....

[@exposethemall45]

I uploaded more Hank here - Google; ‘archive+Hank Williams Sr. (Various)’

[@deatheater459]

OR read the book, "Still in love with you" written by hank sr's step daughter who was pretty much raised by him lycrecia williams. it goes into great detail about a lot of issues its really interesting but so sad

[@Leetjesliedjes]

though many say he died from the Lovesick Blues

[@josephweiss1559]

After all these years, I finally get to hear Hank, Sr. in an interview. I've heard Audrey sing, I am not a great singet in anyway, compared to her, I sound like Pavarotti

[@hankedful]

The Caddy at the end, is that "THE" Caddy? I'll bet it is, I've seen it at the museum in Montgomery that Cecil Jackson put together, now run by Cecils daughter Beth Petty.

[@psuttonsr]

yessir!! It's a gotta have!!!

[@loganlafountain8754]

good old boy.

[@cruzrosasjr.385]

Nice

[@cruzrosasjr.385]

he sure did love miss Audrey

[@psuttonsr]

Cruz Rosas "and raising hell"

[@ogzhan100]

ohh wow this is very rare wow

[@darlenesmith6693]

Nice song never heard it before sung by the 'Late Great Hank Williams ' and where is the song that ì do believe that was written by Hank and Audrey Williams for their son 'Hank Williams Junior and i think it's a song called Bocefus or little Bocefus a beautiful song. Message coming from Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 on June 6th 20/24

[@leroypodunk8571]

I got a tape that says Hank Williams for George Merritt it's an old reel to reel I sure want to know what's on it

[@hankedful]

Beautiful steel from Don Helms, Jerry Rivers on the fiddle and it may well be Fred Rose on the piano?

[@jakethecarsandreactorvideo9409]

I know in the original recording on mother‘s best Don and Jerry we’re playing the fiddle but not sure if that was them on the dub

[@ustheserfs]

Are you sure Hank done it this way?

[@kevinshayne9559]

Yep....exactly this way

[@seaddjordjevic1275]

THE MAN HIMSELF.

[@markstaggs1246]

Yes he was to me the greatest that will ever be then Johnny cash and Elvis buck Owens Bobby helms box car Willie Dwight yokam Jerry Reed Glenn Campbell Bobby bare George Jones Hank Williams the third

[@winston2015]

he was so creative. sad story. yet so typical of so many talented people. What exactly was the cause of death, acute alcohol poisoning? Maybe he died of something completely unrelated to addiction. Wikipedia doesnt really say

[@7550375503]

The Hankster was married to the beauty of the ages: Billy Jean Horton. Miss Audrey surely gave one hell of a b....

[@CrayHay]

Audrey Williams was not what I would call attractive. She couldn't sing neither. Hank even joked about that himself. Great to hear Hank though. My father when he was alive loved Hanks music. He had the opportunity to visit Hanks boyhood home, grave and even stand on the Grand Ole Opry. Hank was a great poet!

[@xivwords5448]

Craig Haylett Beauty is in the eye of the bow holder

[@johndenver6391]

Lol you think we could get her to say a few words. " I think maybe she would be glad too"

[@Margokih_]

😂😂😂

[@Paranormal_Gaming_]

GO FUCK YOU'RE SELF!!!!!

[@marycull3607]

I think Audrey was a very attractive smart woman. But not smart enough to know she couldn't hold a note. Hank still loved her till the day he passed. Even though he married Billie Jean. I'm sure he cared for her very much. He was the in too much pain. He is now in heaven, and in great peace with the Lord.

[@independencemp3]

very noir pic; whose shoes are those?

[@Yourhostsamrb]

Kinda sounds like Boomhauer

[@zz424]

tha't not hank in the picture it's Tom Hiddleson who played him

[@alexanderblohme5044]

Are you high?

[@jakethecarsandreactorvideo9409]

That’s really Hank besides I saw the light didn’t come out until 2016 this was posted in 2011

[@MrRawdoc]

Ordrey killed him...Hank always called his wife Ordrey...

[@ky_says_hi]

she probably did though

[@hankwilliams1192]

I don't remember my last moments, but I bet she did.

[@marycull3607]

He called her Auds. But he couldn't help loving her and his little Hank.

[@jakethecarsandreactorvideo9409]

Audrey
