Hank Williams Jr. 1964 

So proud that Daddy had Hank Williams Jr on his TV show.

Hank jr performed his father songs very well. Hank sr. would have been very proud of him. If his mother and other would of let him be his own person, maybe he wouldn't have went through all of his bad times. He prove them all wrong and figure his way out from them. He showed them all he knew how to be his own man and to make the music that his fans loved. He was a great success in all his music whether it was country, country rock, rock, jazz or soul. Finally after all these years someone woke up and placed him in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I am proud to be a life time fan of his.

Hank juniors son, Hank III, Is the one who sure looks and sounds like his grandfather when he wants to. This is classic! Thanks.

Hank Jr should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame!!!!!!

Hank Jr is a huge talent in country music. You can see from the very beginning to now that he has made his own way. Started off like his daddy and later cut loose to form what we call Outlaw Country but no matter what you call it it is definitely Hank Jr, a true talent all the way.

Watching this makes us want to go back to them good days and they were better days

I love these videos from the days of real country music 🧡

I like Hank jr.He speaks his mind.🗽👍

Hank Williams Jr is one of the greatest, great singer and guitarist incredible performer

This is Awesome!..It’s so cool To hear Hank Jr’s voice in his early years.

As for the comment about Buck Trent. My tenor singer Ryan and I went to Nashville and while we were there decided to be tourists once we were done and had some free time. We went to the Opry at the Ryman, Earenst Tubbs Record Shop, The Gibson Guitar Shop at Opryland and while we were there there were a few people playing different instruments so I picked up a Martain 12 string guitar and on their next break I told Ryan let's play Rolling In my sweet baby's arms key of G. We started playing me and two other guys on guitars, right away I heard the three banjo players jump in and then the two fiddle players. As we played I heard behind me a banjo player really getting it, the best in the room. I looked at the guitar player beside me and wow that guy in back of us is great, he yaw he ota be it's Buck Trent, I looked back over my left shoulder to see Buck Trent smile. I was going hoping to meet him but he got a cell phone call right at the end of the song and took off. Say what you will but I was in that room and he is a great banjo player, don't know why he jumped in with us but I am glad he did.

Hank Jr was born in 1949, so here, he is 15 years old ... sweet kid, he must've gone through so much.

Great to hear these great voices an sweet pickins . Wish the slide an pedal steels would come back , such hauntingly beautiful sounds .

Hank is an American treasure and legend, performing for over 60 years and just released a new blues album

Those old Image Orthocon video camera tubes were really driven crazy by the peak luminance off those rhinestone decorations and overdrove the black level clamping...

Best tv music show ever. Porter solid humanity.

Love these Country songs!

Hank, Sr., was born a century ago this year, 2023. What a torturous life it must be to be the son of a famous genius and be trying to find your own way, your own voice, your own soul. I don't think I could do it. I'd get lost in all the noises and voices in my head and get tangled up in all the strings being pulled and yanked and twisted in my heart. Whether Hank, Jr., did a good job or a not-so-good job finding himself and his own voice is up to nobody but Hank, Jr., to decide. Record sales and the Music Industry are not the judges.

IMO, his Luke The Drifter Jr years was his best. True country roots.

Solid country gold… sure miss these days. Best you tube channel ever, for always showing these rare birds

Was lucky born in Southern California in Cowtown #1' milk producing per capita on earth. Outdoing Wisconsin to Scots Irish grandparents from Missouri and Arkansas. Okies and Texans. Great depression, dust bowl WW2 cotton and prune pickers .These songs I grew up with and and genetically this is what my friends and family looked like. From the Carter's to Cash Haggard Jones , etcetera. True doppelgangers I think the word is. What was the blessed land of milk and honey and simple ways of life. "You can treasure your wealth your diamonds and gold but my friends it won't save your poor wicked souls"Hank Williams Sr. As close to being born in the milk barn as my generation gets living in the closest one of two the hired hand cottages. Yodeling Calling in the Cows with my grandfather. When it comes to the drifting cowboy way of life it wasn't my first chose but maybe there's something to this fate destiny and God stuff. "No such thing as out mending fences for so long now" Eagles. That's cowboy heaven.

Just great, start to finish!

This is real country music. Mind you all, black and white TV. Im now 65 can remember black and white tv.

Such a soothing voice, he may not have liked this period but he did it very well.

Living Legend. Bocephus Hank "Rockin Randall, Thunderhead Hawkins, Wham Bam Sam" Williams Jr.

In the First song I Love the Banjo "Hillbilly Wammy Bar" tuning the string while playing it.

Hank the 3 is the very image of grandfather. The son of hank is nothing like him. 😞

I’ll never be able to master turning the tuning peg down and then back to its normal place while playing lol

Man, this whole video is so sweet

Even back then Hank Williams Jr is and was talented. ❤❤❤❤

Hank Jr. was quite the cutie. He sings well, too. This was when he didn't mind sounding like his dad.

Buck Trent is a monster!

So glad he became his own person!

Det tillhör min favoritgenre!

When the USA was the USA ❤

I like that hymn Rank Strangers to Me

He was really clean cut at the time but had to do things his own way

Love it

I was about to say " that aint hank" then i realized it was porter

Love Hank Williams 🙏❤️

Thanks Hank Williams Jr

Sounds so sweet. Oh boy. I'll tell you.

Next video went to your father. When a cowboy sings. "Some folks say he looks a lot like me." That's what I just commented on.

Great

Man I just love Hank Williams and Hank Williams jr. Bocephus Porter Wagner all the old ones good Lord it just says back then is just real country and I know there are some that still a real country lot of them are but it's just I don't know that old twang is she still replacement for the old swine my love and soul music

Porter should have had Jack fiddle more.

My gosh, he’s 15 years old here, if the 1964 Title is correct? Born - May 26, 1949. WOW-looks mature and totally full grown!

Buck trent he is great

It's in the genes. And love for your parents.

Wow the video tape still exists?

Live to tape thats how to do a tv show!

Buck Trent playing the banjo ended up on Hee Haw.

Can we please mention the dude on Banjo? 😮 Buck Trent

Back when America was great! What happened?

So simple but so much better real country music

This was NOT 1964. It would have been at or about 1968. Hank Jr was in the movie "A Time to Sing" in 1968. He was 18. Hank Jr did not develop and start using his own voice, sound and style until 1970 when he did the theme song for "Kelly's Heroes" with the song "All For the Love of Sunshine" (his first number 1), and he even further mastered his vocals in 1972, at which point, he had an amazing voice demonstrated in songs like "Eleven Roses"; "Last Love Song", "Pride's Not Hard to Swallow"; "All I Have to Give You is My Heart".

i got a home in glory land

It messed up Hank Jr's mind to walk in his dad's shadow and his life really got strange.

Dude is 15 here going on 40 😂

And Porter Waggoner, where's Dolly???

Lol hymn time right after the slightly rapey song don’t take no for answer😂

🌟🌟🌟❤️💯🌞🌞
