There is something super special about Hank's Grandchildren singing his songs. Amazing he only lived to 29, and still managed to have such an impact. The legacy lives on!

I didn’t know about Holly until this documentary Ken Burns did and I’m watching on PBS. I saw her sing the first stanza of “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”. With that voice I knew she had to sing professionally. I love her singing.

My dad was a huge Hank Williams Sr fan. When he died we played this song as they wheeled his casket out of the church. It was the same song the audience sang at the venue Sr. was traveling to after it was announced he had died.

Talent coming right down the line. That's awesome. I never heard of her (or the song) until last night when I watched the Ken Burns documentary. I am a Music Therapist and I am going to do this one. Such a happy upbeat song no matter what religion you are.

Contrary to popular belief,Hank was NOT the first to record this! Roy Acuff had the first original recording,months before Hank's! Hank wrote it,yes his was the most popular but Roy recorded it,first! ;)

@terrymiller1901 9 жыл бұрын

Steve Endicott Steve, you are right about Roy recording it first. Acuff said that on the back of Hank Williams album once, the writing part you mentioned is something Acuff never once said Hank didn't . The ones in car when Hank first came up with song testified it was years before the Acuff recording. Hank took the melody from 'He set me Free' and some of the wording, but really this song is Hanks--indisputable.

Yep,I agree,right on the money!!

@benwashburn8553 5 жыл бұрын

Actually, I believe Hank was the first to record this song, but they didn't release it right away. Roy's version was released first, but not recorded first.

Sure sounds better than her dad. My only problem is it was very hard to really hear her the music was to loud for her voice. The music drowned her out. I heard her Aunt Jett sing and she sounds good too. To bad hank jr. Didn't follow in his daddy's shoes with having a great voice also. But his Sister Jett sure inherited a good voice all on her own not depending on her daddy's name to get anywhere. You don't have to have your name in lights to be good.
