been listening to Hank for 70 years

This song is truly a masterpiece. One of MANY from Hank

This man had something Noone else had or will ever have.

Hank is more than a legend.. he is country, first, middle and last.

you can hear the pain, the strength, and the emotion in his voice, which is more than can be said for most modern artists.

It just does not get better than Hank singing this song.

French guy here, I am probably the hugest fan of Hank in my country where he is totally unknown. Such a shame, he is and will for ever be the best country singer.

Whenever I hear ole' Hank, I hear the pain inside. He's crying out. It's magical and yet heartbreaking at the same time.

I grew up on hank (I’m 26). Something about his voice and rhythm makes me so emotional yet happy. Music really doesn’t get much better than this. Sad we lost such an amazing soul so young.

This song has been redemption to me. I'm 13 and I know his inspiration will get me to the Grand Ole opry

Where would the country music world be without Hank? Don't even want to go there...Now this is what country is all about. Thanks for sharing. Dusty

If you don't feel something stir real deep in your soul listening to Hank, you're empty inside

I Love playing Hank's songs on Guitar, He actually Died on my Birthday January 1st which trips me out when my Birthday comes around Hank is on my mind.

The commentary gives facts of the american icon, but not emotional diagnosis...which nobody could...a true hero...

gold

The amount of times I've listened this hypnotic tune is becoming alarming. Hank is heaven.

HE WAS THE KING OF COUNTRY AND NO ONE CAN EVER MATCH HIM | THOUGH HIS GRANDSON "HANK III LOOKS AND SOUNDS HIM | GOD GAVE HIM A TALENT

As composer & singer Hank is still streets ahead of the rest

this song is a masterpiece ... so natural, so beautiful...

I am becoming a massive Hank Williams fan - so pure & simple it’s brilliant

There will be no one that can ever sing this good ever

I'm 27 and Hank Williams will always be my favorite singer of all time. It feels like everytime he sings he is singing directly to me. I can feel the sadness inside of him and I can also feel the light that shines through him

Hank Williams was a musical genius!

Simply the best

I wish country still had this twang and soul... Instead we're listening to the "parking lot party". Sickening

That story of Hank's life left out a very big chunk! The part where he became the biggest star the opry has ever seen.

Another great legendary song from Hank. Every song he sang was authentic and heartfelt.

My favorite.

Thanks for sharing.

This song gives you chills coming straight from soul

I can think of nothing that Hank Williams Sr. has done that hasn't touched my heart and soul.

hank Sr was and still is the best !

my daddy listened to this guy all the time. some of his songs are pretty good. listening reminds me of Dad

I sure wish I could have met him,he was awesome.

Hank wrote the book on how it was done. He just lived as hard as he wrote and sang it w/out any apologies....Robert Johnson may have been the first legend but Hank paved the road to music immortality.

hell of a songwriter thanx uploader =]

Thank You Grandma For Showing Me Mr Hank Williams 💚

I'm a huge fan of HANK WILLIAMS SR And HANK WILLIAMS JR

@SHADOWMAN296 Thank you for setting the record straight. Anybody who suffers fro stenosis of the spine suffers unbelievable pain. Yet, the guy kept performing, satnding unp and delivering. He's my hero.

my last comment was true, but I just want to amend... Hank had enormous talent, but the passion and depth of his singing makes it last over time enough so that I care to comment precisely. His humanity, faults and qualities are so human that it implores me to comment correctly. I'm a Hank Williams fan and he has touched my life.

The best fucking country singer ever.

im 22 years old and i love hank got it from my dad!

grew up on this man and there will never be another

I will never forget the day I sat down and started playing my Old Mans records back in 1966 on this Great sounding Tube RCA Phonograph. When I stumbled on to a Hank record I played every tune on that record because I was amazed at Hanks singing ! He captured the exact essence of true country in every twang, yodel, slur, and tone. I still think he was the best writer and singer country ever had. Lets not forget his players. They all captured everything Perfectly. This tune was one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing. :-)

I heard that whistle. It blows low and oh it blows so low. I hear that lonesome whistle blow. SO GOOD.

There will NEVER BE ANOTER HANK.

I have such vivid memories of him considering i was so young. My dad was a heavy drinker-he drowned in a river when I was 3 years old in 1949. He loved Hanks music, Jimmie Rogers too. He had those old 78s. My mom played them after he died and left her with 7 kids and no income. I was about 6 or 7 when it came over the radio that he had died. My mom was ironing and I recall she had to sit down in a chair to recover. I have listened to his music ever since and I just think he was fantastic. Much like Jimmie Rogers and Keith Whitley later, they left us too soon with too many songs left unsung. Thanks for all of your great posts. I come here a lot to listen to it. I am now pushing 68 and am lost when it comes for what passes for country these days. I know things change but let the kids have it. A few days beard growth and the knees torn out of your jeans does not make u a country singer.

I really enjoyed this song while sitting on the porch on a summer night. Greetings from Morristown TN.

this is my favorit

Its hard not to get tearied eyed,so much heart in hanks music.

This one of saddest songs I've ever heard, Lord this man had some serious blue's.

@ 1:46, I lived just 6 blocks from the Louisiana Hayride. KWKH was the big country station in Shreveport.

insanely good.

Happy 99th Birthday, Hiram Hank 🎻🎶🎸

I had never heard that story before! Thanks for the history, and a great song!

hank Williams sr Is a legend and one of my idols. A true american, dying breed sad to say........

what an amazing talent. May you rest in eternal love and peace. Got a string of hits at least two miles long. Nashville forgot what real music sounds like.

it's surprisingly tight poetry. inventive and unexpected .

Awesome song gives you chills. He is such a fantastic singer. I can not imagine the 14 people who pushed thumbs down they do not understand what a great song is i realize people are untitled to their own opinion just like the guy comparing Elvis to Hank. this one and Lost Highway are probably my favorites. Love me some Hank.

The real king of country

Brings a tear to my eye , well done Hank

You just got Hanked.

Been brought up listening to country and western music during the forties, still buying cds. Hank William's, died, New years day, 1952, lying on the back back sest of his car. Probably best songwriter of all time his music still being recorded by many artists. I play lots of his songs, and C&W tunes on my Strat using backing tracks, fantastic well loved artist.

I grew up listening to Hank Sr., my mom had 45's and 78's. I said then that I didn't like 'that kind of music', but this is where I am now. Hank's music is great when you have a hurting heart...or any other time.

Angels do leave a record or 2...Hank? Ovr the Top w me. Listened to him since the day I was born, in1953.

Greatest singer and song writer of all time.

Before I was old enough to know about him, my Dad was singing his stuff, so I was primed to love his music. He made an entire generation sit up and take notice with I'm so lonesome I could cry. He and Rogers started it all - and they both got a lot of their blues from the colored folk. Credit where it's due.

Best country singer song writer EVER

he is the heart of country Music

Love your folks.

this song is just as relevant today as it was the day it was wrote

There will never be a Hank Williams Sr.. he was a great song writer and country music singer. He is probably the only person on earth, that I , would ask for an autograph.

Real country…Real soul….

Well rocking Randall top that

Love you Hank!

I'm 28 and wish country still sounded this good I've heard several versions of this song but nobody does it like hank sr

Doesn't get much better than this, what expression!

This guy was real country & George Jones & Haggard!!!!!! R.I.P. guys.

That will make you tap your toes... can't no body else do it like ole Hank

Thank you for sharing such a classic song!

i must have listened to this song a 1000 times it never gets old right when the band comes i get chills down my spine and when ole hank comes in its just pure country gold one of my all time fav songs and always will be.when i got into hank about 4 years ago it changed me his music runs through my head and soul almost on a daily basis.

bless you father, your beaty shines in my mind

@HisPresenseWithinME I'm 31- my Daddy got me into Hank when I was 14 or so. I love singin' his stuff after a few to many PBRs.

The best hands down .40 top ten 11 number one .six years

the GREAT Hank Williams !!!!!!

Pure Perfection ...

This man could write the saddest songs you ever heard dam if I don't get tears up when I first here the very beginning of this song.

wow

great singer ahead of his time. Understood what the common man was going through. Everybody has problems some people fame comes to quick and their not prepare to deal with it.

Hank was and still is the greatest. lll is right up there with his own brand of hellbilly chaos country. I think he granddaddy would be proud.

awsome song!

great post thanks

Hank Williams what a legend. Thank you.

Classic singer!
