Sam Williams - "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" | Live at the Grand Ole Opry

[@BarbaraRomano-akatropicgal55]

He put his heart and soul into that classic the way he was led and made it "his" also! Fantastic, heartfelt and gutwrenching performance that brought tears to my eyes and made his rendition a favorite!

[@tammyvarnot6596]

Absolutely amazing and beautiful!! His father and grandfather are probably so proud. I bet His grandfather is looking down smiling!!👏

[@tammyvarnot6596]

[@SFVGIRL]

Ive become a huge fan of Sam. His own stuff is really impressive. He is going places with his talent and charm. ❤🎉

[@janedoee]

Gave me Goosebumps Brings back memories of my great grandfather who raised me since 3months old. He use to listen to H.williams Sr all day long like a broken record. It's almost like I can feel him still with me every time I hear this song.. RIP PAPAW❤️

[@KrizRogers]

Beautifully done!

[@brandyharris3134]

GREAT!!! YOU DID AN EXCELLANT JOB OF YOUR GRANDFATHER'S SONG. HOPE, HOPE, TO HEAR MORE OF YOUR SONGS!!!!

[@marieblackmon6896]

Sam this is my favorite song of your grandfather's. You did a fantastic job on it. I get to listen to it every Monday & Tuesday at the museum. Hope to see u again soon. 💓

[@budbundy4014]

This is the worse version of this song I have ever heard. He can’t sing and adds nothing to this song.

[@tamikaleeryker]

Sucks.

[@jakeyboy8402]

Gave me chills...

[@Rebwell]

Love love Sam Williams.

[@jameshunt649]

I love that song ❤ !

[@phyllispeterson9058]

Love this and the band is great too.

[@leeanntrain8835]

Sam this is so wonderful! I’ve sang your granddads song since I was a little kid. I started playing guitar at age 8 and this was one of the first songs I sang. It’s my personal theme song. You captured the spirit of this song.

[@craigsanderson6974]

Great performance, best one I’ve seen.

[@aliceelkins6788]

Awesome job Sam sure you grandpa is smiling upon you

[@sandraturner4539]

I love your music.

[@familytradition8039]

Imagine learning one of these instruments, being a fan of Hank Williams or the Oort etc. and find yourself on The Grand Ole Opry Stage playing for his grandson! Ooh, chills!

[@elizabethjanaschliman5098]

superb, Sam! So touching...

[@nitadukes3220]

Beautiful

[@louiscaperan]

Superbe ! Merci

[@MiniPainterGamerDadD20]

Sequined jacket on point! If I was playing the Opry I'd rock something like that, too!

[@jenifermayben9144]

Sparkly like Hank Senior was known to wear. Love it !!

[@charlesfarley4438]

great job.

[@harmonyherb]

Brings back a lot of memories of WWVA radio broadcasts of the 40's and 50's. Great listening.

[@lindalee6279]

Sam has a beautiful voice, just amaing. love him God Bless im 5-11-24

[@violetnewcomb1195]

Ithink Sam did great job on the song ,Hehas great voice for singing ,Keep on Sam with the Family Tradition !love it!!

[@onetakeadventureswithjoeld4679]

Good stuff SAM!

[@PickedOff100]

You must be his mom. Well, look away because I'm letting loose with both truth barrels.

[@offgridlivinginvermont7714]

So nice to hear him not trying to imitate his Grandfather. I love his sound just the way he is

[@Snowpaux]

Go Sam! 🥰

[@judyrose-pp5zp]

Your grandpa is one of my favorites. He would be so proud of you!❤

[@Sniz420]

i did not even realize the name i was watching, wow

[@ВесиПопова-ф7щ]

Bravo 🌹 🔥 ❤️ 🎵 ✌️ 🇧🇬

[@amangogna68]

Great song, amazing singer and fantastic band !

[@BeardyDay]

An ol' family tradition!

[@Zac15Setter]

What an awesome family

[@babycartee]

@SamWilliams i think youe awesome

[@haggardfan8734]

This guy has it going on!!!!!! Can't fake that!!!!

[@michaelgoldinger4]

He reminds me more of His grandpa than Dad, but I can see where he can find his own sound between the two

[@donnacorley1743]

Response to the last comment….that’s called a “vibrato”….and it’s Sam’s unique style.

[@jimcowan8770]

You have a Great Voice Sam! I’ve Always been a huge fan of Sr & Jr.! Nobody can sing That song like Hank Sr! No offense! You did a great job of it! But Hank Felt it! Meant it! You should hear Glenn Campbell do that or BJ Thomas! They both do a Great Job! I’m glad you did it your way,. You have a really good voice! I can hear a little bit of Sr when you sing! Just be yourself,. Like your Daddy! I was too young for Sr,. But Jr., was Just my style & Still Is!!! He’s Amazing!!! He’s himself! Stay original,. I’ll be enjoying you for years to come!!! Hope Hank Jr., is doing well!

[@BrianLRobinson63]

I know Hank Sr is so proud of this man. This is the best version of this song I’ve heard since the original.

[@warninghippiewithcamcorder5456]

there are those who can and those who can't...Coleman and Sam should give it a rest....

[@janetstonerook4552]

A husky, soulful voice makes that song his own.

[@jenifermayben9144]

Agree , yet I hear that soulful sad Hank Williams Senior in Sam's voice. Love it !!!!!

[@1980bwc]

He looks so much like his grandaddy. Even more than Shelton does. He doesnt sound like Sr., and doesnt try to. Plus his vocal register is so much higher. That being said, he did inherit the musical talent from Hank and Hank Jr.

[@richmiller4626]

You know Hank Sr. is proud of his grandson.

[@bettyvick5184]

Great

[@stanleywalls8288]

Was He out side singing ? Sounds like He ' s cold and shivering

[@cashonlyj3469]

My pick is Hank sr. Jr. Can do pretty good also but this isn't for me.

[@howardtackett9058]

I don’t think so. The quivering is a talent has blessed with voice

[@stevefreeman8908]

Definitely the best of the williams so far , bring on the hate!

[@axgvenom1758]

​@stevefreeman8908 nah you might be on to something

[@PAULEYBOY84]

Seems a lot soft. No outlaw

[@e.nickels9582]

I think that as Hank's whole family wonders "where you are," they're all "so lonesome they could cry."

[@axgvenom1758]

My all time favorite version 😢 of so lonesome the spotify version is better than big john cashes and ill stand on business on that

[@AngelaStricklin]

I would love to hear this with the Hank Sr. overlay. It would be a huge hit

[@leolacasse6278]

he ain't no hank williams, but his backup is so good, it should tip him to how much hank meant to us all.

[@losthighway53]

So once again the Opry is screwing the Williams family by making money off of Sr. by demanding various members of the family cover his music. Hank 3 did this track infinitely better but this only proves that the Opry is nothing more than another goon in Trashville's corporate scene. I'm not familiar at all with Sam Williams music but it's more than obvious that he has his own sound and talent and covering his grandfather's music isn't it!!!!!

[@sillygoose4176]

Good singer I liked it

[@lindadixson5309]

This gave me chills. I swear this young man is a reincarnation of his grandfather not only in sound but looks. We need more of him

[@wendywills]

Sounds a lot like his grandfather and looks a lot like him too!

[@dannymontague4736]

He's ok but Hank Williams lll is better at his grandpa's music. 🤠🎻

[@simpsimpson5175]

oh God hes terrible

[@gilgarcia5219]

His voice is definitely original he does not sound like Hank Sr.

[@fieldsfamilycookingandoutdoors]

If you don’t have a fiddle or a steel guitar, it probably isn’t country music!

[@Namratiug]

This is embarrassing to his family name 💩.

[@mrs5189]

This sucks. There's no way they aren't sensoring comments. I refuse to believe people enjoy this

[@Terribleathletes]

Can't believe the Opry didn't give him a standing ovation! Maybe the video just cut off too early, I hope that's the case!

[@reubenj.cogburn8546]

Okay, I must admit I know nothing about Sam Williams. I am assuming he is related to Hank. I have a next door neighbor who does a better rendition here. I mean, he's standing there throwing hand gestures instead of playing a guitar. No, just no. coat tail rider.

[@jessewhitstine4484]

Good song . Too bad he put that modern skinny jean sound in it

[@ModGirl-nu1xk]

😂

[@MsSpudeater]

Good job. Thank you for your own version. I have listened to your Grandfather since I was a small chikd. I sing his music, but it is great to hear another generation put their own spin on it.

[@jeffreese4194]

Hank Sr didn't add the vibrato so much

[@EsdoRek]

Is this Hank the 3rds son?

[@joeharris5851]

No Hankjr's son

[@Dougjohnson1987]

This is the youngest son of hank Jr and hank 3 half little bro

[@aaronscott.7415]

He can't hold a candle to Hank III.

[@jasch5847]

Should get your brother Shelton to teach you to sing

[@guiterman6263]

That is a mess hurt my ears

[@ModGirl-nu1xk]

Sorry, no.

[@raytycker1656]

👎👎👎👎👎

[@joshuanewburger]

he ain't got it..sorry☹️

[@bennyfacundo3415]

I'm Going to Have to No

[@JoshMorningstar]

This song was written/recorded in 1952, not the 1940’s.

[@DOSv622]

The Hank Sr. single was released on November 8, 1949

[@candygonzalez5744]

Not the best!

[@ephraimwarrior6766]

Lol nooo now hank 3 has it

[@michaelmaguire9119]

Hank 3rd is way better than this guy

[@richardgutierrez4651]

Ummm, don't hear the feeling that your grandfather had and your father and the I'll had.

[@jimmywaldner5555]

Not trying to be a critic Sam but your grandpa sang it better. I do however like your recording of mr weather 👍

[@hannahkirchner1656]

He has a pleasant voice, but it's too light. If his last name wasn't Williams, he wouldn't stand out.

[@yvonnecrossen-gruebele675]

I disagree. I find Sam’s voice soulful, but young. He has a great career ahead.

[@genemeyer7829]

His voice quivers. Not good

[@ModGirl-nu1xk]

It's an irritating affectation that so many young "singers" have adapted for the past few decades or so. I can't stand it.

[@ruthgunneson-poling1571]

I don't like his rendition sorry. He sounds off key at times.

[@1980bwc]

I didnt really hear him go off key. Of course he sounds nothing like his grandfather, because he has a totally different vocal register. Plus he doesn't try to copy Hank's voice. I respect him for that. I myself, kinda like you, dont really care for his style of singing (when singing Country that is), but his musical delivery is better than most of today's famous artists. Three fourths of them, if not more, cant sing on key, without autotune, to save their lives. Sam looks so much like his grandaddy though. Way more than Shelton (Hank III) does. You cant help but be reminded of Sr. when you see Sam.

[@CongoChango]

I agree.. he is nothing I can stand to hear.. He might be a williams but he doesn’t have the voice or talent. Sorry, but if his last name was not what it is he wouldn’t be on any stage . Its just horrible

[@mattm7257]

williams the 3rd sounds more like his grandfather for sure. great voice none the less. keep at is Sam!

[@mattwagner6105]

Horrible

[@raybrdjr]

I don't see him making it with this style voice. its not talent but karaoke!

[@davidpalmer4518]

You ain't never listen to Hank Williams,,Then

[@ronlogan8655]

Way to use vibrato after every three words

[@noniejurado4391]

Sucks
