Hank Williams, Jr - Outlaw Women | Reaction

[@teamreelnredz4484]

Hank jr can play most any instrument he picks up. Dude is a legend

[@jerryjustice8026]

Yep and cant read music he just has that ear for it. Dont take him long to figure out a instrument

[@Wrangzilla]

Mad respect for you learning another culture man.

[@douglaschitwood1342]

Super dope right! I learned so much through music.

[@mcjc7807]

He was raised as music royalty. Learned piano from Jerry Lee Lewis, banjo from Earl Scruggs, Johnny Cash etc.

[@jeremyfagner6808]

It is a harmonica. And yes Hank not only plays every instrument but plays them well.

[@shawnj1966]

I've seen him twice and he did exactly that! I don't think he was the greatest at any particular instrument but he could play damn near anything! A special talent that surpasses even his father!

[@Cts_99]

@@shawnj1966he did not surpass his father.

[@bsargent8935]

Harmonica my man. Makes the song. Great underrated harmonica song almost no one knows: "don't follow" by Alice in Chains. I recommended "outlaw women" so my taste is obviously good. 😂🤣

[@timfullen6303]

Gotta do "don't follow" that one still gives me chills

[@lorrainestanger1807]

He talks about the real folks in and around his life. I truly identify with his songs.

[@glennallen239]

The Best concert I ever went to was in 1983 in Wilmington, NC. It was the Azalea Festival Concert. The Opening act was a young up and Coming Group called Alabama . They became Country Music Legends. The Main Event Was Hank Williams Jr.

[@robertsutton206]

I saw him with the Kentucky Headhunters, he did a solo on every instrument on stage.

[@badpop987]

Alabama put on one helluva show! They were good to the fans, great group.

[@keithcarmichael1522]

I live about 40 miles from Myrtle Beach S.C, and Alamba had started their career in a Lil bar on the strip called the Bowery. They have all kinds of Alamba membrilia all over the bar. Nice place

[@desertoutlaw3317]

thats awesome i love alabama

[@missshirley9893]

I do enjoy experiencing Hank Jr with you 🥰 where I'm from we rode around on dirt roads blowin smoke and passing a bottle around... drinkin a cold one...listening to Hank! So many great memories! Ty

[@hoopsfreak5]

Wish I knew her

[@cheatingiscompeting3647]

Little booze cruise with a roadie sodie on the gravel roads

[@matthewscott8692]

Sounds like you're a outlaw woman 😁. I grew up listening to Hank. He's definitely one of my favs

[@summerfowler4889]

He does play all the instruments! He’s amazing to see in person live! He switched hats and instruments for every song when we saw him last year 💜💜

[@joannamcpeak7531]

Judging from your opening comments, someone must've spoken harshly to you in the comments. Hey, forget them!! The vast majority of us love you!! It is your reaction that we are here to enjoy.

[@kimkelly5512]

I saw Hank Jr when I was 21, and I am 62 now and still listening 👍

[@jbc_8110]

Hank jr is the absolute KING of country music.

[@mattgoularte1471]

You Got that right Brother, he does a soft in his show where he goes around and solos every instrument on stage. It's saodvthat he can playb25 instruments in all. He's great friends with Kid Rock and has done multiple songs with him.

[@jewls9697]

Hank jr was only 3 when his dad died. So I'm sure it runs in the genes! The Coalition is a great song! Especially for this era right now!! Kaliga, Mr. Weather Man, The Conversation with jr & Waylon Jennings. Ajax Mountain...Great song about jr falling off Ajax Mountain. True story! You should play it & read about it. Very interesting & a pure miracle he survived!!

[@rubbersole79]

True story. I saw Hank Jr at the Tulsa County Fair in the early 80's on a double bill with Waylon. Hank came out on stage, tore his shirt off, fired a couple shotgun rounds in the air, and proceeded to open the show with a solo on every instrument on the stage, finishing on the keyboards dragging his boot up and down the keyboard. Then the show began......

[@janecampfield2732]

LOL!!! ....you are so funny, my ribs hurt from laughing!

[@viralexotics8031]

Harmonica it's a gem love hank

[@garygoodman4342]

Hank and football legend Derrick Thomas were great friends. He wrote a song in tribute to him after his passing called Cross on the Highway, you should check it out. And yes Hank Jr wrote most of his own songs. Not only is he a member of The Country Music Hall of Fame, he is also a member of the BMI Songwriters Hall of Fame.

[@evergreenrider]

Steve McNair?

[@heetcrusher2880]

Usually in his concerts he does make the rounds and play all the instruments. I have seen him do it several times.

[@goldenruletv7301]

Hank Jr. sang with more soul than anybody in the industry today, truth bro.

[@scotsirish1970]

hanks the shit and he does play everything

[@PayyDayy706]

Weatherman - Hank Willams Jr is a song I definitely recommend. Another real smooth song.

[@mattturner5750]

This is the jam... such a gool vibe

[@chrissteele6518]

He is&he does play every instrument

[@maryleabarlow3884]

One of his finest is Weather Man. Another great HW Jr song - one you have to listen to.

[@TCB62912]

❤❤❤❤❤ this dayum song!

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

the next song on the album, I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE LOVE SONGS, is my favorite Hank Jr. song.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

It’s a harmonica and it’s beautiful

[@charliefisher4044]

Yes, harmonica

[@jacqueline4514]

Love how you hear the details in all the music!

[@SEKreiver]

I've been a Hank Jr fan since high school.

[@robjohnson8662]

Nice to see a wide spectrum of people appreciate REAL country music.

[@zombie4414]

Hank was the man for his time and place.

[@mormonturnstothegodofthebi5164]

He can play every single instrument in the band.

[@allendixon7700]

Yeah, ILO Ada out loud OU TLA W women. How long women would WW women in question? I love it how old i'm going to do it hi

[@kirkhager1145]

Jimmy Hall, Wet Willie, plays harmonica for Hank Jr.. Search for Wet Willie. There's also an interview where Hank Jr. was talking about Jimmy Hall having more soul in his pinky finger than a lot of other musicians out there today.

[@heatherlsmoore448]

Check out his song "Tear In My Beer" it was written and preformed by his dad, who passed away when Hank Jr was 3 or 4 years old. And in this video was the only way he got to preform with his father.

[@WedgeLife]

one of my favorite hank songs.

[@DavidSmith-pe1qe]

Hank can play anything . Remember , he has been on the road performing since he was 8 years old

[@keithjames7843]

When Hank Jr started being friends with Kod Rock He wrote a song called But naked women and beer and He said that he wrote it in like a couple of hours But KID ROCK said that if it wasn’t Hank Jr He probably wouldn’t be alive because of how much he used to drink and doing an assortment of drugs KR calmed a lot and got on the right path thanks Hank Hank Jr wrote a song called THATS HOW WE DO IT IN DIXIE and the video for this song has some beautiful women in it

[@dennisvass3795]

I’d like to see you react to “I got rights” or “OD’d in Denver” by Hank Jr.

[@jerredwayne8401]

I got rights is my favorite

[@dwashington1333]

"He had his big name lawyer and he had that smirky smile"

[@christophereppler7126]

Brother you are bringing people together. Keep walking your path, and always remember your Savior.

[@justinsmith293]

Hank Jr is a bad ass musician, as he can play a variety of instruments. And also has a great distinct voice. His father was a great musician as well. Most of music is natural feel and rhythm. If you don’t have you just don’t have it. And may never have it. I know you’ve done some Jamey Johnson. But Jamey Johnson has a song titled “Lead Me Home” and that is a very good tune! Would love to see what you think about Jamey and his skills as a musician!!

[@douglaschitwood1342]

Love you did this. Seem like a Great Dude! I thank my family gave me every opportunity to be a great person. Every day outside of war I believe I have lived up to CPT. MASTERSON. My BaBah. SemperFi Sir.

[@martymaraschino3468]

Highly recommend The Conversation by Hank Williams Jr & Waylon Jennings. Also Luckenbach,TX by Waylon & Willie

[@beckyconder5740]

Hank Jr. uses alot of steel guitar in his music. And yes, pretty sure that was a harmonica. I have seen him play ALL the instruments on his stage. My father was so impressed with Hank, Jr. that he paid homage to him during this time by looking the same as Hank. Complete with the beard and glasses. You did an EXCELLENT job of reacting!!! And. Old Habits by Hank Jr is AWESOME, too!! 🔥🤘♥️🌻🦋

[@ThatJunkman]

that hold Old Habits album is great

[@keithjames7843]

Man Hank Jr was and still is the man He won entertainer of the year 8 times Because he was not afraid to speak his mind and didn’t care what other people thought about him and his music Because he knew the fans he already had would stand with him and it didn’t matter what it was THE ORIGINAL OUTLAW That is what I like the most about Hank Jr was not scared of speaking his mind and He could absolutely get down and throw the best parties on the planet His song Whiskey on Ice and Woman From The Sun are two of my favorites

[@jerryjustice8026]

One of Hank Jrs. Influences is Lighting Hopkins so other than his dad and several others he's had a heavy dose of blues Influences

[@missshirley9893]

That's my ish!!!

[@TexasMagnolia]

So good for the soul! Thank you. A Country Girl…happy to cook, clean and always have a full-pitcher of sweet tea for my man!

[@keithjames7843]

Van this man don’t sugar coat anything and he’s not scared to stand up for what he believes in and that’s exactly how everyone should be Kid rock said if wasn’t for Hank Jr that he wouldn’t be alive because of drugs He loves to hunt and teach kids about hunting it helps keep these kids out of trouble and I think that’s dope

[@ManCub25]

Hank is the king! He can sing 'em smooth and he can sing' em rowdy! I would love for you to react to a couple more Hank classics. OD'd in Denver and I Got Rights

[@edford1693]

I saw him in 1988 and at one point during the concert, he did play every instrument on the stage. for a bit of fun check out Hank, Jr.'s duet with Don Helms (he played the pedal steel guitar for Hank, Sr.) titled "Ballad of Hank Williams".

[@Wade-22]

Hank is is great... RIP Norm Macdonald

[@shawnhenry4100]

When it comes to relationships, I tried to teach my 5 Sons, You must always be truthful, Be open-minded, Never expect another person To change, Just to fit your narrative Of what they should be. And if you find yourself in a situation where Someone you cared deeply about Disappoints you, Stop! You must realize at that moment it's not about you. Move forward You're understanding Of what brought you And this person you care deeply about, To this place and time. Only from that place, Can you move forward. Be prepared For hard thuths And self reflection.

[@Teresia12]

79 was a very good year.

[@damcrazy26]

My first concert was Hank Jr (although I was too young to remember most and too short to see lol). Check out Two Old Cats w Ray Charles, The Conversation w Waylon Jennings (official video), and Born to Boogie. (I could list the whole catalog honestly)

[@rogerajohnson6495]

The first time that I heard Hank Jr, he was 14. I was the same age. His early music was a little different before he got hurt in 1973. Before his accident he sang. "It's all over but the crying." That is one of his early hits

[@Gaboyneedsaphase4]

Just found your channel when I stumbled across some reaction videos to Hank Jr…… awesome by the way! Didn’t know how far you dug in but did you know he fell like 500’ off a mountain and was told he’d never sing again? He touches on it in the song All in Alabama….. keep up the good work

[@joannedungan8381]

I like when hank Jr sings with kid rock

[@rogerhamrick3399]

You really should hear Hank and Gretchen Wilson singing outlaw women,!!!

[@TwistedSither]

I saw Hank Jr. live, when he was promoting his Hog Wild album. I don't think there's an instrument the man can't play.

[@jesseduke694]

Van, you have dun sevral Hank tunes here lately & they have been great songs & great reactions. But I have a request. Its a old one. Not alot of people are going to know it. It's called "Hank" by Hank Williams Jr. I think you might be able to appreciate this song very much.

[@timmbilger3290]

I love watching your all your reactions to all the songs I grew up on and still listen daily today.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

Charlie Daniels said, Jimmy Hall got more Soul in his pinky than most people got in their whole body.

[@stoneysopranoyukon9398]

This why I LOVE ALL MUSIC ❤ 🤘❤🇨🇦

[@anthonystark2239]

Thank you so much for doing this reaction video, you are doing more than you realize to share the different ways that we all live. You are the Man

[@donniejunk2860]

Cool seeing people vibe to something that’s not their usual thing rad video.

[@burner-thehippo5945]

As long as you touch onto all styles of music I will always be here to back your 6

[@emmett-amber5456]

He did a version of this with Gretchen Wilson. I think you'd like her too.

[@spazzynazzy]

Ayy..yo bruh, the fact yhat you're even giving an objective point of view on Hank Jr is dope enough for me.

[@scottarmstrong2641]

Want more smooth by him Come and go blues. My. Favorite by Hank is I got rights.

[@AViper-py6qn]

All in Alabama by Hank Williams Jr is a song you will love he puts a lot of soul into the song. It’s tell the story of how he almost died and changed his ways and became the man he is today

[@shanewehr2880]

Yes it is a harmonica with that bluesy sound!

[@darrellduckworth1138]

I got a little treat for you, The Gourds:Gin and Juice...... Yes that one! With a very country twist! Whole lot of fun!

[@deannacrownover3]

The harmonica is found in a lot of fantastic music. It's the staple behind Delta Blues (this song is Delta-ish)

[@Gutslinger]

6:08 Funny that you'd say that. Lol If you possibly want to see that, check out a video titled: Hank Williams Jr Double Eagle Tour Born To Boogie The video/sound quality isn't the greatest, but it's not unwatchable. It's the only upload of that particular performance that I could find on KZbin.

[@jeraldkimball494]

Bocephus could play most any instrument. Been a huge fan since I was a kid.

[@LandYall]

Hank Jr. has a ton of hard hitting country songs but this one has a special vibe.

[@hankperot5470]

Hey Van, try you out some Frank Foster. He's an Ole boy from Louisiana. Started his own record label, will not sign with no one in Nashville. He has done several concerts with Hank Jr. He writes all his own songs. Mix between traditional country and southern rock

[@tulanewman5692]

Thanks for reacting to this song. Best album ever I wore several copies out in my lifetime. This was my theme song back in the day. We was doing the thang. 🤣

[@pb68slab18]

Gotta check out Hank doin' ''All my rowdy friends have settled down'' !

[@debbymoore8902]

I love your channel! I grew up in Southwest Ohio. My family is from the hills of KY. I have a song for you that’s unbelievable. If you haven’t heard Tyler Childers listen to Shake the Frost. It will give you chills.

[@debrabenoist1596]

And some of us outlaw women are older than you might think. We don’t give a damn about society and what you might think. We’ve raised our kids, retired and don’t have to please anyone but ourselves. Btw 2 of my kiddos have ghosted me cause I’m not what they think a moma should be. 😉

[@ThatJunkman]

In the early 90s, I had a good friend that was black and he was heavy in to rap and said he never could like country, and then I played him this song and he LOVED IT and start to listen to more country as he also turned me on to rap as I was really into country.

[@jacqueline4514]

Love the exchange of music!!!!!!

[@heatherlsmoore448]

Yes it's the "Harmonica"

[@ryantoothman7724]

Now need to do Mr. Weatherman and OD’d in Denver by Hank jr

[@blmlb63]

I'm an Outlaw Woman riding high in '79.

[@Gutslinger]

Hank Jr. has a son that goes by the name "Hank 3" that looks and sounds a lot like Hank Sr.. It's a bit haunting when you watch the 1990's video of him live performing Hank Sr's songs, and wearing his suit. But his original music is wild in comparison to sound and subject matter. And his voice has gotten a bit gravely.

[@evergreenrider]

Pretty sure Hank laid every instrument track in the studio. Only needed a band to tour.

[@larrygilpin6429]

I’m hoping you check out “I’ve got rights and Mr Lincoln “. Also his version of Tuesday’s Gone.

[@jacqueline4514]

Gospel!!! Marvin Sapp, Clark Sisters, Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin fan here!!!🤗

[@1robdavidson]

Hey Van , fun fact for ya here about Hank. He can not only play most if not all the instruments on stage , but he also does it well.

[@Gutslinger]

I appreciate you doing these reactions of Hank Jr., regardless of what your opinion is on the songs. I ultimately would like and enjoy if you liked his stuff, since he's one of my top favorite artists. But it won't bother me in any serious way if it turned out that you didn't. I understand that my favorite artists/songs sometimes might not be some else's cup of sugar honey iced tea. People aren't going to like the same things sometimes, and that's okay.

[@owlshollow9599]

Hank tells the way it is.

[@wendydavidson4814]

I came across this video of you recently and I just gotta say you need to try to find Hankmjr and Gretchen Wilson singing this song! It is awesome!

[@tammyblackwell499]

Yes, it's a harmonica! We OutLaw Woman Rule!!! 🤘🏻

[@2GuysView]

Hank Jr can play at least 9 instruments effectively

[@k9raven960]

You're listening to a harmonica, but there are a lot of violins (called fiddles in country music) in Country Music, in most of them in fact.

[@Destech-lv9vl]

You've got me saying "Hit that thang JACK"! lol!

[@stuwism]

Man, you're awesome. One of the best review channels Ive ran across on KZbin.. Keep on keeping on brother!
