In this video, we will discuss a variety of things including an old wives tale, the origin story of "hillbilly gothic", and all the accounts that just might prove Waylon Jennings was haunted by Hank Williams Sr.

Good stuff bud. The driving beat you mention is a throwback to his days with Buddy Holly. Same backbeats and timings when Waylon was bassist for the Crickets.

[@VinnieVega]

My favorite Waylon song still to this day is “Outlaw shit”

[@guystephens2881]

Me too , check out struggle and yelawolf version.

[@Tryingtohaveityall]

Love your Mountain Mortuary skits. My hillbilly cousin and I laugh so hard because we can pick out which family members would do some of the things you talk about. I understand exactly what you mean about your upbringing and how you go one way or the other. The hardest part is when the folks that stay rural try to run you down for bettering yourself. Also, this format was really natural.

I was a singing drummer in a Southern Rock/Country/Classic Rock/Etc band and all of us heard Ronnie Van Zant hollering support for us on stage when we were kicking ass on one of his songs. This was a common thing. But we were really good at playing Southern Rock with authentic soul, feel, and sound, and I can sing like Ronnie, Danny Joe Brown, Willie, Hank Jr and it is a very powerful form of spiritual magic. Miracles and magic are pretty obvious to musicians. We all talk about these experiences because we live it and are amazed and humbled by it repeatedly.

[@DarkSkies72]

Cool, you finally got to the story. Good one, thanks Willy Nelson Jr

[@michelletodd4893]

Love your humor. I grew up in Florida. My in laws grew up in Oldtown FL. All old folks went to revivals and still messed with voodoo. We know haint, bottle tree, heard some scary things. But why was Hank Sr., mad at him, maybe because he wore the boots and didn't respect final resting place.

[@danscott3880]

Objects do hold Energy...

[@markcitarella454]

I grew up in a funeral home too I would get dropped off to school in the hearse or body wagon 😅

[@D38401]

I thought everyone got to play in the funeral home and cemetery. Only during "quiet time " was we not allowed to run around.

[@hannywitchin]

I think we do our best work when we feel authentic and calm, and that creates a joy that others (like your viewers) can share in, too. You should also be able to do whatever your weird li'l heart desires on a platform that requires you to provide free content to folks. Thank you for doing that for us!

[@user-wr6tz9sj2e]

So relatable. From Richlands Va I love your videos esp the Mountain Mortuary ❤😂

[@zebdoz333]

Hi there , been a subscriber for a bit and love your channel! About jamming tho iv been looking myself in a way I guess , stop by on it and look around , but hey the first bud ya will see the audio just wasn’t up to par so ya might want to look at some of the others if you do go there, anyway keep up the great work you are doing! Always, Zeb

[@greyskywarren6028]

Hey bud. Excellent channel, very fascinating. Haven't seen any new videos for a couple of months. Hopefully everything is well.

[@zipshed]

Great story...I would love to hear more like this! Very interesting!!!

[@dewilew2137]

Mudvayne’s LD50 was the first album I ever bought with my own money. I was ten the year that came out. My parents were horrified. MTV2 ruined their little girl, as far as they were concerned. 😅

[@laurajenney6368]

Hi! Just discovered your channel this evening, (quite by accident). Absolutely loved the Waylon/Hank 'haunt story'! Well done! Though I now live in arguably America's most haunted city, (St. Augustine, Florida), I grew up in Hendersonville/Flat Rock, NC, so I love a good 'haint story'; especially when delivered with an Appalachian lingo and accent! To spite growing up in the Hendersonville/Flat Rock area, LOL, I am a promotions specialist and journalist in the music industry, so I also loved 'the music industry spin of it' as well! You have a great channel, very well done! Interesting, funny, charming, and definitely Appalachian! ...All good stuff! Loved the stories about your Granny as well! Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos! Nice to e-meet you! Please keep up the good work!

[@partycat2921]

Hank Williams Sr. spirit is accessible. I did a study of him and did one of his songs on stage, he came along. It was great, I try to be super respectful to those kinds of vibes which makes it easier to notice. It's awesome stuff and Hank Williams was an awesome person, no doubt.

[@talesfromanoldmanpatoneal6372]

Well my friend I really enjoyed this. I enjoy your storytelling style.... Style, not sure it's style it's like two friends sitting on the porch talking, call it what you want. Oh.... Hello neighbor! If you're near the Chattahoochee you have to be in my neck of the woods. I'm going to guess and say you're a little north of me, I'm in Canton. Anyway love your stuff keep it comin

[@jenniferbryant2005]

Just wait until the dip bottle has been in the truck for a while in the summer and then it gets opened. 😮

[@absolute_rachel]

And he totally got Hank's Haint on him. What a cool story. 🖤

[@barto4678]

I know what the rain sounds like on the roof of the RV trailer I live in. I know what a haint is, lol. I was raised in Washington by parents and grandparents, and elders from the Midwest and the Ozarks, lol.

[@RisforRachel88]

Have you hiked Grandfather Mountain? Their little zoo is fun too. I stayed at this beautiful inn in Boone and enjoyed time in Blowing Rock.

[@TheAppalachianSon]

I have! It’s beautiful up there. My folks aren’t far from Grandfather Mtn.

[@normaowens7340]

The blue ceiling also prevents wasps building a nest because it looks like sky

[@jakesimmons4430]

Lol, I live twenty miles from "Clempson"

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

At my first job in Douglasville, Ga my uncle owned a collegiate sports store in a mall. We each got large Chic-fil-a tea every morning we went in as they give free refills all day. Guess I wasn’t paying attention but that wasn’t my tea….nor was it tea… it’s bad. Like a tobacco flavored spit jambalaya. Also here in Savannah there are plenty of those painted roofs. Well used to be until SCAD bought up everything.

[@absolute_rachel]

Left the weird stuff for the weirdo 😂 Thats a great stack of CDs. I cant believe someone just left them!

[@greyskywarren6028]

Also, if your into books and Biographies, you have to check out Heavier than Heaven. Not sure about the author, but it's about Kurt Cobain. A truly awesome read. Very informative.

[@D38401]

You should read Minnie Pearl book. Also I love Ella King music. I think she is kinda of a rock a Billy music. Rock with a old sound. Chris Stapleton has a old county sound. Reminds me of Conway.

[@drewev]

he said the year could only get better but then we lose gary rossington

Remember , The day music died. 1972 single “American Pie,” an epic, eight-minute music-history lesson that begins with a reference to the plane crash that killed musicians Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson (a.k.a. the Big Bopper) and Ritchie Valens, along with the pilot of the 1947 Beechcraft Bonanza . At the time, Holly and his band, consisting of Waylon Jennings, Tommy Allsup, and Carl Bunch, were playing on the "Winter Dance Party" tour across the Midwest. Holly chose to charter a plane to reach their next venue in Moorhead, Minnesota. Richardson, suffering from flu, swapped places with Waylon Jennings, taking his seat on the plane, while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss. Soon after takeoff, late at night and in poor, wintry weather conditions, the pilot lost control of the light aircraft, a Beechcraft Bonanza, which crashed into a cornfield, killing all four on board. ( Death Trails lightly behind on those who have a pass ........ )

[@finchwilliams9859]

It’s a long hard road

[@carolrondou6161]

I surprised you didn't mention Buddy Holly.

[@moonchildluvsbobcrane]

Not buddy holly? Intresting.

[@danscott3880]

You forgot the greatest band outta Raleigh North Carolina Corrosion of Conformity..

[@Callmethebreeze902]

[@kyleross889]

Tyler Childers

[@7uc1f3r.]

It would make more sense he was haunted by buddy holly

[@rhettdrake5725]

I like watching your videos you do a awesome job. With that being said this video was not very good the actual story you did was awesome like always but you rambled on and on for at least 7 minutes about nothing at all that really didn't have anything to do with the story.

[@ronlosey9355]

I thought this video was about Waylon being haunted by Hank Williams, so far its pretty boring

[@lorissprankles6556]

Spiritual Rambling.

[@dylanbarnes9191]

Poltergeist is the word lol

[@dylanbarnes9191]
