SUBSCRIBED!

The lyrics are so simple but so complex. Hank was know as the Hillbilly Shakespeare for his elegant turn of a phrase. The Pulitzer prize committee awarded him a Pultizer citation for his songwriting skills and his influence in moving country music into the mainstream of American culture. Yeah, THAT Pulitzer Prize Committee.

[@jjkcharlie]

Because he read comics.

[@theresaterry164]

Hillbilly Shakespeare is a perfect description!

[@jameslang1367]

It's amazing how country singers wrote songs about Hank Williams over the years

[@jjkcharlie]

Its a family tradition.

[@jackiejohnson8612]

This is Pure Country Music love it...they don't know what Country Music is today.

[@carlprince2866]

in the song im so lonesome i could cry Hank wrote .. the silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky. I took a man with the soul of a poet to see the night sky as purple but once you hear him sing it you never look at the night sky the same again. That is powerful stuff

[@artbagley1406]

Oh, how this man could paint a lovely, heart-breaking picture with words and music. Yes, there are other versions at a slightly picked-up tempo. Same for "I Cain't Help It ...," and others. He experimented with tempo more than key changes, grace notes, and other techniques.

[@757optim]

Hank Jr. was 3 when his Dad died. He sang his Dad's songs at a very young age and many people wanted him to continue to do that, in effect being a Hank Williams impersonator. Bocephus was proud of his Dad, but needed to go his own way. As for not looking like his Dad, he fell 500 feet from a mountain in Montana and fractured his skull and face, requiring several surgeries and 2 years of recovery and therapy to speak and sing again.

[@jeremyfagner6808]

In the short 4 or 5 years that Hank Sr. recorded he had 55 songs hit top 10 and 12 of those hit number 1. He was known as the Hillbilly Shakespeare. So much talent. Every show that he done he would end with I Saw the Light.

[@ddwchamp]

Imagine this legend living far beyond 29 years of age. Hank was the first super star, the first Elvis. Wait until you hear the story of "Your Cheatin' Heart". Hank's wife was Audrey (Miss Audrey). In the last hit, I Saw the Light, that was June Carter (Married to Johnny Cash). Watch the story/movie of Hank Williams. Thanks for the video.

[@beegee1960]

He was the first country superstar, but Frank Sinatra was a superstar of the same era.

[@richdiddens4059]

It was June Carter that introduced the third song and Anita Carter who sang with Hank. Side note. Johnny's hit, Ring of Fire, was written by his wife, June Carter Cash, for her kid sister Anita who recorded it first. Johnny's version was a cover of his sister-in-law's.

[@rod2459]

Legend has it that he wrote “I can’t help it if I’m still in love with you” in just 15 minutes to prove he was actually the writer of all those songs.

[@timdenman3298]

Tony Bennett Made a career because of Cold Cold Heart. Many people have covered it because Hank Songs are timeless. He is music at it's core. You must listen to the words. The greatest song writer of all time. He genius was in his simplicity. He voice was real. He was the greatest.

[@love68]

Absolutely. 💯🙏💛

[@jackiejohnson8612]

Hank wrote this song in a matter of minutes.He ,Minnie Pearl & others were going by car to do a show & they kept riding & Minnie said I see the lights & folks that's how the song come to Hank.

[@samvonshmam]

The best singer song writer ever...

[@cydrych]

One of my fondest memories is sitting and watching my dad shave while he was singing I Saw the Light when I was a little boy.

[@russelljoslinjr4387]

You won't go wrong when you listen to this legend! He has fun songs too.

[@Brandon-sw5ob]

Mine already know it but fun fact June Carter and Johnny Cash or Hank Williams Jr godmother and Godfather and the first people he saw when he woke up from his accident and they didn't leave him

[@sjw5797]

Give me Hank Williams the First! Every time.

[@peggyshumate920]

They sang in a lot of honky tonk bars and they sang songs that people could slow dance to. June was in a couple of the songs but that last one had me feeling her joy and vivacious personality. Her petting pants showing under her skirt had me cracking up. Love these old clips. Brings back so many memories. I grew up during this era

[@peggyshumate920]

Petti pants not petting

[@ltodd79]

What a treasure!

[@richdiddens4059]

Hank's big hit, Your Cheatin' Heart, was about his first wife, Audrie, Hank Jr.'s mom.

[@sandralorenz1796]

Check Hank Williams Sr and Jr "There's A Tear In My Beer". Hank passed away January 1, 1953 at the age of 29. Hank Jr.' mother was Audrey Shepherd.

[@kevinogracia1615]

Love you young cats digging the classics. My favorite Hank Williams is "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." Dig. Peace on earth.

[@curtislong6806]

Country music Hall of Fame, rock and roll Hall of Fame, Grammy lifetime achievement award, song writers Hall of Fame, Pulitzer prize. Hank had more than 40 hits in 4 years. The hillbilly Shakespeare.

[@djgrant8761]

I love hearing “I Saw the Light” sung by Johnny Cash with Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. I also love listening to Johnny Cash singing “Man in White”.

[@webbtrekker534]

Thanks for the compilation! Loved it. Film of Hank is rare.

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

Anita Carter. June's sister. The best singer of the legendary Carter family. The greatest singer and song writer in history!!!!

[@mark-be9mq]

Love it. Kate Smith was a very talented classical singer, a contralto(?), who's Rendition of God Bless, American was very famous. Like many popular entertainers from the 50s - 70s she hosted a variety show on "early" T.V. It usually included short sketches (usually comedy), brief chats with guests, and lots of music.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

This may seem primitive, but when these first aired, this was cutting edge Television...

[@wcwindom56]

and yes that was june carter. Her sister Anita was the one singing with Hank on I cant help . She had a really beautiful voice on I can't help it.

[@butler754]

I love the songs. BE TRUE TO YOU and who you ❤️

[@willie0376]

My step fathers dad, was a "Studio Musician" for 3 of Hanks Albums. We have his gutiar, given to him by Hank haning up above or fire place, with a picture of Him, with Hank and the Boys.

[@scottgorski7931]

You NAILED IT, Hank III looks and sounds like like his grand dad.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Check out the KZbin video of Hank Williams III singing his grandfather's song, "Move It On Over" at the ceremony of Hank Williams induction into the Native American Music Hall of Fame in 1999...Hank Williams had Cherokee ancestry as did Elvis...

[@TheFarmerfitz]

Hank Jr had a Mountain climbing accident where he fell 500 ft. Had extensive plastic surgery, Recovered from that and went on with a long carrear in music, (Doing it his way)... Which is why his appearance is different, and why he always wears shades and a big hat on stage.. Audrey Williams is Hank Jr's Mother

[@artis-x9c]

By Hank jr. departing from his father, he was actually following his father in making timeless music!

[@kenhoyer8601]

True country.

[@SheilaMatthews-zu6lm]

Watch the video Tear in my beer It has both Hank Sr. & Hank Jr. Singing together

[@charlesstraight5499]

The lady that Hank Williams was singing about in his song Cold Cold Heart was actually the mother of Hank Williams Jr I can't remember her name but she was definitely Hank Jr's mother and the love of Hank seniors life but her heart had already been Shackled to a past memory and she couldn't escape it couldn't trust Hank because of the guy that she was with before had betrayed her so badly that she could never give Hank her trust and it just led to a bad place.

[@kingmonkey460]

Audrey was her name

[@P-M-869]

The old country & western shows would end the show with everyone coming out to sing the last song. Many times, it was a spiritual song. I loved Sr's music but I didn't care for Jr singing his daddy's music. But, when Jr started singing his own music, I loved it.

[@slucas60]

I know she would like Jambalaya, and Howlin' at the Moon!

[@Milto21]

He was dead at 29. His songs have been recorded by an endless list of stars that you do know. He wrote and sang them all.

[@Gutslinger]

Appreciate y'all reacting to this video. He does have more upbeat hits, but for the sake of live video performances, this is all there is of him. Lol

[@mt3311]

The man who introduced them was COuntry singer Roy Acuff. He was popular in the 1940s. He and his business partner Fred Rose created Acuff-Rose Music which published all Hank's music.

[@sandralorenz1796]

My dad taught me to two-step to Hank Williams' songs.

[@curtislong6806]

This was the true beginning of modern country music

[@Milto21]

Not really, probably Jimmie Rodgers deserves that accolade. This was the beginning of Rock& Roll. "Move it on Over".

[@mt3311]

Hank the III is Jr.'s son Shelton. He is an ALTernative Country Singer. Like his father and his grandfather he doesn't sing mainstream country music. Keeping up the family tradition.

[@dennisgschmidt6167]

I saw Hank Jr in 1966 when I was 12 with my folks, all his mom would let him play was Sr material and with Miss Audrey there every step of the way. Was the first time for me seeing Waylon Jennings in the same concert, still have the pictures that I took that evening. Couldn't remember who the grease ball was until I recognized Waylon's guitar when looking at the photos some time later !

[@mt3311]

Anita Carter was June's younger sister. She was the only one in the Johnny Cash Show, and of the Carter family that could actually sing. She had a strong and melodic voice. Her other sister Helen was the only one who could actually read music. They were all talented in their own way. June had a talent for making people laugh.

[@plymouthfurious]

His Mother and Hanks wife was Audrey Shepard.

[@jonathanross149]

His style is very fun to cover.

[@artbagley1406]

He's really slowed down "Cold, Cold Heart" and "I Can't Help It If I'm Still in Love with You" for these performances. Not that the originals were fast songs, but they certainly weren't dirge like these versions are.

[@philipdickey6460]

Nice reaction, and yes that young lady was June Carter

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

Hank sr is so mesmerizing..... hank 3 is so much like him And yes 3 is hank jrs son.

[@E621_Rule34]

hank jrs mom was audrey may shepherd and that was june carter signing with him. anita was there but she was behind roy acuff

[@danettecrossley7912]

I remember him being played at my house by my mother as a kid he was considered the greatest country singer of his time, his was a tragic story alcohol or drugs seem to get the best best God bless Audrey was his mothers name

[@texasflood1976]

You should do Hank Sr Move it on over, the first rockabilly song

[@danielhead8123]

Hank sr music is timeless and 29 was far too young to die

[@danielhead8123]

Can you react to jrs duet with sr on the song tear in my beer

[@raymondgrimes118]

Hank Williams Junior, his mothers name was Audrey and family tradition was about the drinking and the drugs

[@hollylewis6631]

The other gentleman that sang on the last song was Roy Acuff. He was one of the best guitar players of his era. You should check him out.

[@jescis0]

You mean fiddle player, Roy Acuff was a Fiddle player... Hank Williams was a guitar player 😉

[@addiejohnson2322]

There are so many amazing country singers. Different styles. Hank Williams Sr was one of the greatest. Have you listened to CHRIS STAPLETON? TENNESSEE WHISKEY. So different country, GEORGE STRAIGHT, HAS 40 number one singles. YOU LOOK SO GOOD IN LOVE, I HATE EVERYTHING. So meant to choose from, so different. I hope you will explore more

[@rollon863]

Check out Jambalaya, Lovesick Blues & Move it on Over. They're a little more upbeat. Cool reaction guys

[@michaelstallings5824]

hank williams sr had a two short career only 29 when he died, still he had a long list of hits two i would recommend are jambayala and kawaliga

[@jeremyfagner6808]

And June Carter was Hank Jr.’s Godmother.

[@Mattdirk59]

Hank Jr looks so different from his dad because he literally fell off the side of a mountain. Surprisingly he survived but his face was completely mangled an had to be completely reconstructed. Ouch!

[@michaelmitchell2313]

Awesome Guys

[@jjkcharlie]

Hank, the elder belkmgs to us all.

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

Family tradition is even more about the drinking and the pain of jrs early life in his dad's shadow. Im a huge sr jr and 3rd fan. I'm checking all your hank reactions. Hank 3 does hank sr identical. Listen to sr do kawliga then watch hank 3 do it!!!!! Mind blowing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a little disappointed that your wife isn't really getting it with this real music....

[@Gutslinger]

These are the only video performances of him. This was just months before he passed. Hank Jr was 3 years old when Sr passed at the age of 29. June Carter usually played a silly character on these live shows. I watched the full versions of those two shows. She was quite the character. Lol It is pretty crazy how Hank III looks just like him, and sounds a lot like him (minus his more gritty voice). There's live performances of Hank III doing Hank Sr songs at the Grand Ole Opry in the late 1990's. I think he was even wearing one of Hank Sr's actual suits. They even made an album that featured all 3 Hanks doing Hank Sr songs. Hank III sounded pretty dang close to Sr on that album. I remember I wanted Hank III to play Hank Sr in the movie they made a few years back, since they look just alike. But whoever made the movie got Tom Hiddleston to play Hank Sr instead. I don't think Hank III would've wanted to play him anyway. Before the movie, Tom Hiddleston was performing in front of audiences to prepare for the role, and I saw Hank III make a critical post about it, basically saying that Tom couldn't "moan" the blues. I think he also said that he didn't like that they chose an Englishman to play Hank Sr, because he didn't think an Englishman could embody that southern type of character. He also said he would've rather someone like Matthew McConaughey play Hank, because Matthew was southern.. I'm not sure what to think of that actor suggestion. Lol

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Hey guys. Hank Jr's mom was named Audrey. I am including a link to a young Hank Jr doing a medley of his Dad's music, This is Jr before the accident. There is also a Holly Williams who is a performer. She is a sister to Hank Jr. Not sure he knew about her until later in life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnLIl517pdOHrc0

[@darrellcharles5792]

Kate Smith told Roy Acuff that she really wanted Hank Williams on the show. He said well Hank ain't a member of the Opry so he can't be there Kate Smith told him no Hank no show so you see who won that argument. Also this is June 1952 6 months before Hank Died.

[@shanekasowski6238]

Johnny Cash and June Carter are hank Jr's God parents actually and visited him in the hospital in Montana after his fall off the mountain

[@carlprince2866]

I agree Hank III looks just like grandpa and can sound like him when he wants too but seldom does he did an opry appearance where he wore a suit that was made to look like a negative of Hanks suit

[@1lthrnk]

Hank 3 and Hank 4 look like Hank Sr the one singing with him was June Carter

[@danielhead8123]

This performance was his final filmed performance

Fun fact. All three Hanks, nun of there real names were actually Hank. All of there middle names is Hank. But they all used it as there stage name. Hank Sr is Hirum Hank Williams, his momma was a big German woman & hard handed! Hank Jr is Randal Hank Williams, maybey you have heard him refereed as Rockin Randal? & Hank 3 is Sheldon Hank Williams.

The clip of Hank singing Hey Good Lookin is the clip they used to make the Hank Sr and Jr duet video for There's a Tear in My Beer. June Carter and Hank Jr's mom Audrey were real good friends. In fact June Carter is Hank Jr's Godmother. Hank Jr looked more like his dad in his early years, not a whole lot, but more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXmuhH-NdtyCfNE

Hank Sr. Was born with a type of spina bifida. Depended on pain pills until a Dr. Told him an operation could cure him. His Record label refused to give him time to heal and put him back on the road. He died in the car on the way to the Grand Ole Opry after stopping at a motel to be seen by a Dr. That gave him too much morphine. He always called Hank, Jr. Bocephus. Hank Jr. grew up with money unlike his dad who sang for "beans and biscuits"

If you ask any traditionalist who's the best in country music, well it's Hank Williams Sr. Now if someone wants to argue that and list a few names, I bet the artist they list was influenced by the KING of country, Hank Williams SR or somewhere down the line their was a Hank SR. influence.

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

Hadn't heard the end of the video yet. So glad you mentioned Hank 3!!! He's so amazing!!!! He's Hank sr reincarnated!!! I'm hoping you have hank 3 reactions. Gonna go look!!!! You've gotta do Hank 3s country!!! It's so amazing. Ok I checked your channel and no Hank jr or Hank 3. Mostly bands I've never even heard of.. you're cheating yourself.. no go on sub. You need to get in touch with the roots of real music to get a true appreciation of music.

[@pennyyoung3166]

One more thing on Jett Williams hanks daughter proven through courts

[@mt3311]

His mother dressed Jr. up like the father and put him on the road from when he was about 3 years old. That kept the music in the marketplace, That kept the family going. For years Jr. after his mother died, made $ 250,000 per year off of royalties. That was a direct result of Jr.'s on stage at a young age. Right or wrong, it kept them fed. Consider the time. In the 1950's there were limited employment opportunities for women. Jr's music is the same as his father's. In that, it was different from the "normal" music of the time. Late 40's early '50s music was swing bands, old-time Appalachian string bands, and Bluegrass bands. Hank Sr. ushered in the era of the individual singer, with the Hillbilly sensibility. When Jr. tired of being a clone of his father, he went out on his own. That coincided with his fall off the mountain. That coupled with the burgeoning "Outlaw" movement, Jr. found himself a niche. Neither Sr. nor Jr. were ever conformist music makers. That is why they are considered innovative and fresh. Their sound as well as their persona were fresh.
