#hankwilliams #reaction Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Hank Williams I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY (1949)! Join this channel to get access to perks: / @blackpegasusraps
Hank led a hard life. He was born with spina bifida, so he was always in pain, which he treated with alcohol. He was fired from the Grand Ole Opry for missing shows or bad performances while drunk. He died in the backseat of a Cadillac convertible, just after midnight on Jan 1, 1953. Hank Jr. was 3 years old when his daddy died
Hank Sr. Came from a very poor family and because of that he couldn't get the surgery to correct his spinal bifida, he may have drank and used chloral hydrate, used as a sedative and hypnotic, the night before when his driver called for a doctor, As they were driving to a show because a huge snow storm prevented Hank Sr. From flying, this doctor gave him a shot of morphine and vitamin B12, much more to the story but one show was canceled and he drove on to the next they drove for 20 hours and somewhere along the last leg Hank Sr. Passed away when the driver stopped at a diner and rigor mortis had already set in.
You need some Hank III in your life. He's pretty wild but he pays his respect to them who paved the way. Hank III "Country Heroes"... It's a tribute to his influences.
If you've ever heard the gospel tune "I Saw the Light" you've heard a Hank Sr song, and if you haven't I suggest checking it out, also his song "Ka Liga".
Hank Williams Sr wrote this and many other songs. He sang when Elvis was a kid. The father of Country Music was Jimmie Rodgers. He sang and recorded in the late 1920s through 1932. Hank wrote about things in his life. He lived through a lot of heart break. He died in the backseat of his car at 29 years old. Try listening to "Move It On Over. "
Love Hank Sr and Jr. Move It On Over. Cold, Cold Heart. Your Cheating Heart. Mind Your Own Business. Jambalaya.. Elvis did cover this song and said it was the saddest song he ever heard
My kids know the words to Hank Williams songs and still love him to this day! Their daddy was a big Hank Williams fan of course. Later on it was Hank Jr the sons played and daddy loved of course! ❤️
Dude this song is too nostalgic for me! Reminds me of when I was a kid spending the summer at my grandparents. Grandma loved Hank Williams, she would play his music every morning.
Good for you, Hank came out of a much simpler time and the music was bare bones. He was so huge I think that people today don't understand or know. He was Elvis before Elvis, perhaps the first big pop star.
Now you have to do Hank 3! Smoke & wine, Cecil Brown, Mississippi Mud, Low Down, Country Heroes, 6 pack of beer... so many awesome songs. He has his own style!
My aunt and to be uncle double dated with Hank and his to be wife. My grand dad got into a tassle with Hank at a barn dance in Alabama and busted a guitar over his head. Needless to say, a bit of 'shine was involved. That family story still makes me smile. Im a rock era kid but as i got older, this became one of my favorites
Much love and respect for taking a moment to listen to this music, I'm 66 years old and this s*** is older than me, but I loved it and grew up listening to it, because of my parents. Thank you, great music
My Mom and Dad always had country on the radio or on tv on the weekends in 70's. I never liked country much but some of the singers like Hank Williams bring back nice memories any time I hear it again. That kind of country is priceless )
This needs to be on your "Jim Beam" Playlist. Not an everyday thing. Just a "Choosing to Wallow in My Misery" thing, 'cause Misery loves company and Hank can commiserate with you like no other.
This is actually my favorite Hank Williams song. My grandma and her sister use to listen to him. When I think about it it always hits me how hilarious it is that I'm in my late 30's and grew up surrounded by so many types of music that most people my age had never heard all because of how many different generations I was surrounded by. But I've had influences from the WWII generation up to prevent so my taste in music and movies is all over the place.😂 Speaking of WWII you should check out Ella Fitzgerald. She was an amazing jazz singer. She was known as "The Queen of Jazz" and the "First Lady of Song". Titles which she whole heartedly deserve as she has one of the mos beautiful voices you will ever hear.
Could you imagine how much beautiful music he could have made if he had not died so young? Make me sad to think of the loss of it all. He has a song called, "Move it on Over". It is great! It was also covered by George Thorogood. You would love him! And as mentioned down below: Ramblin' Man, Kaw-Liga, I Saw the Light, Jambalaya! Charlie Pride did a cover of Kaw-liga which is great.
Hank Williams wrote so many classic songs that have been covered by so many diverse artists .Ray Charles did a lot of them on his C&W album with his versions of I can’t stop loving you and You win Again being my favorites
I'm a 62 year old white guy, born and raised in NC. The first time I heard " Rapper's Delight" I thought, " What the f..k is that"? I've grown to realize what rap means to black Americans. I will say, this is the God's honest truth, this very first country music song I remember and remember singing along to the radio with my dad in the car was Charlie Pride's " Is anybody goin to San Antone". I can sing that song verse for verse today. Check him out, he's the reason I knew as a young boy that racism is bs. Imagine what the man faced in the 1960's. He was a true American treasure and a better man than me.
When I was a teen, back in the 60s, once no one else was home, I listened to Daddy's Charley Pride album. No way was I going to admit I liked country music.
Hank Jr. Was forced by his mother to do covers of his father's music for years. It was only after Hank Jr had a near fatal car crash that he broke into his own music. The only after accident left him horribly disfigured that he grew his beard to hide the scars and stood up to his mother and broke into his own.
I am sure you have heard Move it on Over that was a Hank Sr. song it was covered by several people but you would have heard the George Thorogood cover. I would recommend Lost Highway, Ramblin Man, Kaw-Liga, I Saw the Light, Jambalaya to start with then the rabbit hole gets so much deeper. He had so many hits and inspired so many, and only lived to be 29.
Hank Sr. only lived two years longer or else he'd have been the founding member of the "27 Club". He died in the back of a Cadillac, which Dwight Yoakum commemorated in his song "Long White Cadillac".
Dude, I've been in Nuevo Mexico for 52 Years! Farmington! It's the wild, wild, west and I love it here. You gotta miss the Chile! All the old generation whether Mexican, Old Spaniard or gringo used to dress like that. The Natives are still cowboy. This state is unique, and I've lived all over. The saying here in Farmington is you can leave but you'll always come back. Via con Dios muchacho!
He was only 28! He had so many hits. Hank was one of a kind!! For the fun of it, check out Hank III (Hanks Grandson) First check out him doing his grandfather's "Your Cheatin' Heart" ".......THEN check out his song "Cocaine" to see a totally different side of III
HE IS THE MAN !!! It wasn't easy going around from town to town in a 1945 Buick..rough trying to make a descent living back..tough old soul that shaped country music today..God bless him
Need to react to all 3 hanks! Hank Sr, Jr, And the III sing Long Gone Daddy. You want to be mind blow. Check out Hank the 3rd and how he not only looks like his grandpa but sounds eerie like him too. He does more hillbilly rock style but stays true to his strong country roots! Seriously check it out Long Gone Daddy by all 3 Hanks🤙🏻
Thanks - this is a classic by the original Hank Williams.. and so beautiful and soulful... his son is a pale shadow, trading on his dad's name... appreciate your listen...
I’m 58 and understand what you mean. It’s not something I would listen to very often. But if it’s on the radio or something like that I do listen as it brings back memories of my dad. Very nostalgic for those of us whose parents and grandparents listened to this music.
Hank Williams Sr., Hank Williams Jr. Then there is Hank III, grandson of Sr. And Son of Jr. Love "Smoke and Wine" as well as covering Seniors songs...sounds just like his grandfather
Hank Sr. wrote and sang Kaw-liga. Charley Pride later covered it. Have you reacted to any Charley Pride? Charley had a lot of hits. My dad particularly liked _Kiss An Angel Good Morning._ After hearing it on the radio at work, he stopped at Ace Record after work to buy the single to give to my mom.
My grandpa use to pull out his old gibson and pick some Hank Sr. And sing. Brings back some old memories!! Hank Sr. Has a song that goes" Hey good lookin' what ya got cookin'? How bout cookin' something up with me?.... i cant reme.ber the name of it, lil.
I’m from WV and grew up on bluegrass and country, this is such a heartfelt song. People clown on Tear in my Beer but it’s such a sad, silly song, I love it.
In the 60s when I was little my mom had a big stack of 78 RPM records she collected over the years. A lot of Hank Williams included. We lived in Central Florida and once we went out for the day and she forgot to close the curtains. So when the sun hit the shelf they were on they warped. She wasn't the only one crying over them when we came back home. But Hank was always on the radio at least. I highly recommend Wes Anderson's 2012 film Moonrise Kingdom. The cast includes Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Francis McDormand, Ed Norton, Harvey Keitel, Tilda Swenton and more. The story is enchanting and the soundtrack is all Hank Williams. If you don't recognize even one of those names then you doubly need to see it. Offbeat in the best way, you may want to add it to your own or your kids library someday. I'm in my sixties and love catching your reactions to the older artits and repertoire. 🧓🎭🧠💋
I’m a huge Hank St and Jr fan and I totally understand it is a slow song and it doesn’t give you that feeling of something you want to jam too all the time. Although myself I can listen to it every day just because I’m a huge fan.
Now, since you are in the rabbit hole of Western Swing, I highly recommend, and recommend it even more highly than high, "I've been everywhere" by Hank Snow.
Hank Williams Senior.... Remember Hank Williams Jr singing about his music being so different from his Dad's music. Also remember Junior just following family tradition??? Senior was an alcoholic and would play all night.
Makes me think of my dad. Sunday at his house was music day. He would put as many albums on the spindle as it would hold and walk around singing and yodeling with the music. (We would try to knock some down as if they had played and he always caught us, lol.) Now my brothers and I find ourselves wondering how we know the words to songs that are older than we are, Love and miss you Dad. Love your channel!
Love this!!! He had another side to his music where he was also known as Luke the Drifter when he wrote & sang hymns. Favorite songs from those , Be Careful of Stones You Throw (makes me cry), I've Been Down that Road Before & Pictures From Life's Other Side just to name a few
this is why - when we got our first FM station in 1971, I herd RocknRoll and never went back - after nothing but old country everyday, all the time...makes me look back and laugh
Hank Williams learned how to play from Rufus Payne, a black bluesman who lived in Hank's neighborhood. Hank always said Payne was his biggest influence, and you can hear that in Hank's music. He was a bluesman through and through. A lot of his songs are 12-bar blues songs.
I grew up listening to this song and this type of music as my parents were huge fans of Country and Western music!! Oddly they got me into music, BUT at 12 years old, for my birthday and Christmas in 1975 they gave me a tape recorder and then a stereo, and a bunch of music.....which was a two part Rolling Stones collection on tape and Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell and Led Zeppelin Zeppelin II albums on vinyl!! I have been listening to rock and heavy metal ever since!! AND when I say "Rock" I listen to old stuff like Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Buddy Holly, right into Black Veil Brides and Theory of a Deadman!!!
I always felt the sadness in his voice and songs was so much more than relationship problems. There is a greater sorrow in his voice like he struggled to just live.
Glad you got to him. I was going to suggest him before. The king of old country. He wrote his own things about his life. Good gospel writer also. I saw the Light, and House of Gold
🙋🏼♂️ My old mans favourite singer .. one of only 2 singers we would listen to in the car when i was growing up .( the other was Elvis ) His life story is incredible & he was an original bad bad boy . His songs are timeless .. Day 19 BP , Cab Calloway , Jumpin Jive .. many thanks 🙏🏻✌🏻
