James was one of the best honky-tonkers there ever was. He won the Ameripolitan Honky Tonk Male of The Year in 2015. In 1969 he won a Texas high school talent contest by singing Johnny Cash and Hank Sr. songs. He was then offered a big label Nashville contract but his grandparents made him turn it down because he was only 16 at the time. He went to try to sign up after he was of age but they told him it was to late for the offer. He didn’t get serious about singing and song writing until many years later. He was 100 percent honky-tonk to the sole. He wrote hundreds of really good songs. He was a true friend and a very dedicated Pal. We will forever miss him. We will never forget you Slim! Love you forever.

Pal and Palette--I see your comment on many of the JAMES HAND videos on youtube. I, like many, just recently discovered his stuff....and I have to say, wow...just amazing. His whole story is both good and sad. But still, he had a chance to share his great music and play with so many who loved and respected him. This clip with Cindy on the steel, just breaks my heart. So much passion in his singing and Cindy's playing. This is a treasure that I hope will get viewed by millions!!....just great! Dig, Dmgrk

Charlie Crockett was kind enough to introduce me to this at his last show. Top notch artist! So glad to be here!

[@johnnysalter7072]

Damn, I didn't know they made country and western music anymore.

[@DenaWoodTheNDexpress]

Johnny, tune in www.ksslfm.com. You can download the app for your phone or listen streaming worldwide on the internet. Saturday mornings from 10 til noon, Billy Bowles tears up Western Swing and Pure Country. Promise KSSL is country.

[@markhejl3104]

That is pure country music. Love it

[@personreanimation]

Check out Charley Crockett. A young friend of Mr. Hands.

[@DC-nr3jb]

I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Mr Hand this past weekend at the Ameripolitan Awards. He's a great artist for sure but I find him an even greater man; very friendly and easy to talk to. Sincere and gracious.

[@pduncan742]

Dangerous stuff!! Hand's music will put a chill bump on a wooden leg...

[@gunther955]

lmao , yep !

[@leomallard9358]

Man, I agree completely! That beat makes me want to two-step like I’m twenty years old again. Mr. Hand and his band are terrific! We lost an irreplaceable part of country music history when this gentleman recently passed away. I wonder if today’s Nashville even noticed.

[@zachyweezer]

His voice. Wow. He sounds like a vintage radio.

[@jefflaliberte7]

James hand ! The ; 'Real Deal' .

[@meacenastiberius9438]

Holy crap, where has this guy been? This band is some old school wonderfulness, what a voice! The band is the perfect backdrop.

[@rayblanco5204]

No where have you BEEN!

[@deadskunk8733]

Thanks to U-Tube all kinds of fantastic artists are getting exposure that may not have ever been found by a wide variety of people.

[@rhettbuckley2660]

Visiting Austin tonight we caught a tribute to James Hand at the Continental Club w a rotating cast of singers backed by the band you see here. Was excellent

[@sbluez6444]

What a great, great performance.

[@Jocko4444]

What a great singer he was.RIP

[@rssullivan]

That's 5 time Grammy winner Cindy Cashdollar. She's the best.

[@dennis9962]

R.I.P. Mr Hand

[@lydiajacobs371]

[@jackignatius]

We saw James at Johnny Dee's. Just a great artist. Wonderful to see him here.

[@davebollinger8863]

I remember Will from a trio he fronted with drummer "Rusty Trap" on 6th street when we were both in our 30's .....time flys when your havin fun. Loved your pickin bro. RIP..

[@davebollinger8863]

[@markhejl3104]

RIP JAMES HAND

great DETROIT LOVES YOU & YOUR BAD MR. JAMES HAND 8-25 -2016

[@TexasCool]

The Real Texas Troubadour !Slim lived every song he sang. You can hear his memories come to life in his voice. On occasion if you looked closely you would see the pain drip from his eyes. From Tokio to the Grand Ol Opryland and from Denver to Europe, Willie Nelson nailed it when he declared James "Slim" Hand is the real deal ! Love and Respect, Denver.

[@bradcorbin3340]

With will on guitar the best sadly we lost both of them

[@deadskunk8733]

This makes me want to go sit in the corner at my little table by the jukebox with a cold Lone Star Beer with the top label peeled off. Hehehehe

Lady on The Steel made it cry man.

[@BB-je8hm]

so many versions of this live. this is one of the best! 40's vibe... too bad he had to play with different people in every city...

[@JTSunriseMusic]

Genius

[@KittyDearing]

Love and miss you 💜

[@JohnnyReb1976]

0:15 pause, like, resume play

[@Cattlerest]

Gotta love it! Thanks for the memories!

Watch James Hand ”Last Ride”

[@Gratefulman1965]

James reminds me of a cross between Hank sr. And Freddie hart. Great writer as well. R.I.P. Slim.

[@MorningDove]

I always thought the opposite!! James sounds just like James. Hank and Freddie have a touch ~ just a touch of James in them !!!

[@Gratefulman1965]

@@MorningDove your rabid love of the man is appreciated but he’s clearly inspired by Hank, but hell who wasn’t over the last 60 or 70 years. James is missed for sure🎶

[@MorningDove]

@@Gratefulman1965 Rabid?? I just don't like that every good singer out there is compared to Hank. Everyone has their own unique sound and deserves their own applause. People get fixated on certain entertainers and treat them like gods. Thus, the term "fan" which is short for fanatics. Hank is very good but so are many other musicians!!

[@melliott333]

You don't see many women steel players; this one is great.

[@ashscot50]

This is as good as it gets. Enjoy.
