Why do you drink? To get drunk!! Why do you roll smoke? To get high! Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? To get laid!! Haha thats what we always yelled out at the bar when this song came on..lol

Oh and a Hank Williams Jr Fast fact: That man literally fell off a mountain once and broke almost every bone in his body. Gives you an idea of just how tough those old country folks are.

This song was written because his mother disowned him. She wanted to benefit from his talent & wanted him to sing only his fathers songs. Hank Jr rebelled, like a true Southerner, & went his own direction with his music! Check out his song "Hog Wild" & "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight". You'll love them.

Hank Sr. was a hard living, hard partying incredibly talented man. Look at the legacy he left and he died at age 29. Hank Jr. was basically put on the road at the age of 9 to perform his daddy’s songs. He struggled living in his father’s shadow. He drank, he did drugs, he partied and attempted to self delete. He fell off a mountain in the middle of nowhere and crushed his skull. His brain and one of his eyeballs were out of his head. It took 6 hours to rescue him and 5 surgeons working for over 7 hours to even start to repair the damage. When he woke up he didn’t even know if he would ever talk again much less perform. He was in recovery and therapy for two and a half years after that. But in his prescription pain pill “haze” he found his unique voice and wrote a lot of songs. He embraced his outlaw Country image and hasn’t looked back. He’s a legend in his own right and I’m sure his daddy would have been very proud that his son came out of his shadow and into his own. So if he gets drunk and sings all night long it really is a family tradition. Like father like son.

I'm an old hillbilly. I am so happy to see you listening to this music and ENJOYING IT. Just goes to show we all have more in common than what divides us. It's time to tell the politicians that are trying to tear us apart to jump in a lake, and realize we are all THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

He fell off a mountain in 1973. That is the reference in this song. His face was crushed and required extensive reconstruction. He wears the beard and glasses to cover the scares from the accident. Johnny Cash and June Carter flew to his hospital and was there for him in his hour of need. Hank Jr has really connected to you. JMO - Enjoy the Journey - Cheers

Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr they and more were the outlaws of country music. Shaped my country roots back in the day love them all dearly

With the magic of modern technology, Hank Jr and Hank Sr did a duet There’s A Tear In My Beer.

Hank Williams Sr “I’m so lonesome I could cry”. PLEASE

One song his dad ( Hank Williams Sr) sung was "Your Cheating Heart". On Hank Williams Jr, I would love to hear the song, " All my Rowdy, Friends, have settled down"

The song "the ride" by David Allen Coe is about an encounter with the ghost of Hank Williams Sr. On his way to nashville.......must listen

Hank Sr died from a drug overdose (pain killers) in the back seat of his Cadillac on his way to play in a new years concert. Hank Jr was big into drugs and alcohol and when he was trying to clean up a little and going through a lot he fell over 500ft down a mountain and almost died.

When he was a young artist he covered a lot of his dad’s songs. He eventually wanted to go his own way, when he fell off Ajax mountain in Montana and almost died when he woke in the hospital Johnny and June Cash were at his bedside. Once he recovered he started doing his own thing and jumped headfirst into the outlaw country genre. He has a lot of great songs. The thing about it is he has lived most of his songs. It is definitely a rabbit hole for you to dive into my personal favorites are: OD’d in Denver, All in Alabama, Bluesman, whiskey bent and hell bound and the list goes on and on. He is definitely a country gangster.

Fun fact. After his dad died, his mother started teaching him to sing exactly like his father. Using his father's vocal inflections and mannerisms. At age 8, his mother put him up on stage in front of his father's backing band.

Hank Williams sr - I'll never get out of this world alive

"The Conversation" is another great one he does along with the great Waylon Jennings singing about Hank Sr

As a teen it was all country, rock, classic rock, oldies and metal. Shipped out to the army at 18 which is a true mixing pot and it really opened my mind to everything, I am 44 now and recently retired from the army and when people come to our house asking “who’s damn playlist is this going from Iron Maiden to Marty Robbins to Tech9 and NF 😂 it’s mine bitch, whatever is relatable or gets me in the zone😂❤

He never got a chance to sing with his dad so he took 1 of his dads songs "theirs a tear in my beer" and sang we ith him Great songs

Hank's (Bocephus) father was arguably the most famous country singer of all times.

Yes it is called Outlaw Country and it is some of the best country.

Love Hank JR. Time for "All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight" a real rocker...

And yes, he's spilling the tea in this song...lol...definitely outlaw country. The rebellious correlation between, rap, punk, outlaw country is real.

Yes, Hank Jr was part of the outlaw movement. You nailed the Parallel between Country and Hip Hop. It is about lifestyles and middle finger to the man music. They are both music of the working man.

Funny story: my daughter didn't have many interactions with her Dad, as he would often "forget" (i.e. be too messed up to remember to pick her up on the weekends)…..(I'd tell her he had to work)….but when she finally was an adult and wanted to get to know him, she and I and some friends went to a Karaoke Bar and she heard this song. She was like: "They wrote a song about my Daddy!!"....because by then, many of her other family members had been... well, most went to prison at least once. All but my daughter. She was serving on the city counsel, while raising three very smart children, one with special physical needs.

Loved watching you listen to this 😁 my daddy loved Hank Williams Sr. and he sang his songs to me and played his records all the time! He was from Alabama like us so that made him even more special. He died when he was young (around 30) from years of alcohol and drug abuse which led to heart failure. This is why Hank Jr. says he was carrying on the family tradition. BTW that was Charlie Daniels playing the fiddle on this song 🤗❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

“A Country Boy Can Survive” is a masterpiece.

In the sixties and seventies, Hank Williams was still the biggest country star of all time. Like the Elvis of country. Hank Jr really was in a "unique position " as the song says. Imagine the impossible pressure to live up to the best ever. He couldn't, and that's what really drove him to the vices that nearly killed him. When he finally found his own path, he found his own voice and success. And his own legend alongside his dad.

Hank Williams Sr. Hank Williams Jr And believe it .. COUNTRY Punk Rocker Hank Williams Iii All of them Great All if them Outlaw Country Superstars

Hundreds of “RAP” Reactors have discovered Country and are now huge fans of the real life, true musicianship, and positivity. And now, listen as a majority.

Hank Sr I'm So lonesome I Could Cry.

Family Tradition Hank Williams Jr why are people so surprised country music is so good ? Country folk ain't bad people just traditional hard working people

His father was the country music legend of his generation. Extremely prolific. He had a drinking problem and got kicked off the Grand Ol Opry. His father died in he back seat of a car while being driven to a gig. This happened when Hank Jr. Was very young. Check out Hank Williams Sr. “ Move iIt on Over” which has been covered by hard rockers.

I love when Hank and Kid Rock sang this together..❤

Love your facial expressions during these reactions! The call and response to this song is: "why do you drink" (to get drunk!), "why do you roll smoke" (to get stoned!) P.S. I've heard the only person to out smoke Snoop was another country legend, Willie Nelson!

I think his songs come off so well cause u can feel it is authentic....and catchy as hell.

Hank Sr. sang "Hey Good Lookin', What Ya Got Cookin'?" Yes, Hank Jr. was Outlaw Country and he hung out with Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and many, many others. Glad to hear younger folks getting caught up with Country music. God Bless you and your family, sir!

That’s hilarious that you caught the call and response of the chorus. It happens every time!! Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound next!!!

“I’ve Got Rights” is as hard core as any gangsta rap song. Hank Jr is the man!

Hank Williams sr - I'll never get out of this world alive or tear in my beer

Hank Williams Sr was literally the first famous person he was the first Superstar

To me, as a 51 yr old that is has appreciated all types of music, but Country/Rock raised, Hank is my generations outlaw legend! My all- time favorite, of any genre!

Love the reaction! You can't go wrong when picking a Hank Jr. song to react to. I recommend "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" and "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)".

Classic country bar song. Everybody singing the chorus to Family traditions to the top of their lungs with beers in salute! All for fun and kicks.

My dad grew up on Hank Williams , I grew up on both Sr. and Jr.

Hank Jr has a GIANT catalog of music stuffed with bangers.there's reasons why he was so popular.I'm delighted to see you digging him so much

My father loved Hank Jr., this made me smile!

Hank Jr. Is so frickin cool...love his music...I love your reactions to all these new types of music your listening to ... it's EPIC!!

Follow the revolution from Delta/Country to rock and hip hop. We all are one!

First, I have so much respect for you for not letting your little girl be exposed to inappropriate lyrics, no matter the musical genre. Second, I love your reaction to this song. My dad was a big fan of Hank, Sr. (I had one of his songs played at Dad's Celebration of Life service) and I am, too. When Hank, Jr. became popular with his Outlaw Country, I didn't care for it, but life and some of the struggles that came with the years have made me appreciate his music. I do hope you will react to some Hank Williams, Sr. at some point. There is now a third and fourth generation singing.

We play this at every family get together we have, right along with Metallica, Queen, Chubby Checker & The Fat Boys and now...Ren. (Plus many more in all genres). There isn't one person, from age 80 to 5 who isn't belting it out. It's a staple in country music. He's truly Outlaw Country and a huge influence on today's Outlaw Country artists. Think I'm fixin' to go grab a six pack and crack up some Hank. Thanks BP!

Randomly came across this this morning, love it! At a concert or anywhere the song plays, when he says,”hank, why do you drink?” Everyone yells to get drunk. When he says,”why do you roll smoke?” Everyone yells to get stoned.

Love Hank Sr and Jr. I've seen Hank Jr several times in concert. Always a great show

We all the same bro, Blues to Country to Rock to Punk to Metal to Rap !! 🤣😂🤣 ❤❤❤❤ 👍😎👍

Loved this reaction and your comments are spot on. FYI, Hank Jr. has a beard and always wears sunglasses and a cowboy hat to hide the damage that was done to his head and face when he fell off the side of mountain in 1975. He wrote A County Boy Can Survive years after the accident, and even though that song is about the over-urbanization of society, I think it also speaks to the strength and perseverance he had to survive the accident. The man is a living legend.

Music is universal I love all music! ! Music makes people smile and that’s all that matters !!

Hank williams sr , hank williams jr , and hank williams lll . All have different styles of music , but they all rock !

Saw a bunch of rock and metal concerts back in the day with no issues and went to see Hank and fights were breaking out everywhere it was so funny

The thing that keeps me watching these videos, is that you appreciate good music, doesn't matter the genre as long as it's good. That's the difference between someone that listens to music and someone that loves music.

One of my favorite Hank Jr. songs

I'm an old country girl and I love your reaction!!! I like your open mindedness. I'm about lyrics, so I listen to you and can appreciate the artistry.

Oh, Hank Williams, Junior was one of my favorites back in the day Bocephus

Hank Williams Sr. There's a Tear in my Beer.

Hank Williams JR. Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, David Allen Coe and Willie Nelson was the shizzle when I was growing up in the 70s!!!

You know, all my life I've bought, recorded, or downloaded the music I liked. Although it contained examples of many genres, it was still just what I liked, and what I played. But, it was as much of living in a bubble, as those who limited their own musical exposure to one genre. That's why I love watching your "reaction videos". Your shows take advantage of the musical hive-mind to introduce new exposure to old classics. In spite of my own musical biases, I have found every one of the recommendations to be accurate and well-founded, and much appreciated.

Hank Jr is the GOAT he’s been singing over 70 years and has broken records in music that will never be touched again. Have almost died of drug overdose and falling off Ajax mountain in western Montana/Idaho border in 1973.

Hank Williams Sr. Died at 29 on the way to a concert. He was in the back seat the driver did not know he has died. I think he had written a song.

ALL of his music is fantastic. Jump in the rabbit hole and enjoy the ride

Go to a country dive bar and this song comes on and you will never forget the experience. It is a good time

He is NOT saying he is different than his dad. The line is "If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition", because that is exactly what his daddy used to do.

LOVE some old Hank Jr

Theres a tear in my beer is him and his dad singing together of sorts. Its a good song the video was pretty epic for the time.

It's one of the best sing along bar songs ever!!

I love you listened to this one! ❤ This is my husband favorite of his and he listens to it all the time. In the morning when he’s in our shower I hear him playing this song and singing along and I just laugh!! 😂🥰 You should listen to Coward of the County by Kenny Rodgers! 🫶🏼

I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this Country Classic! You gave me pure smiles! Thanks! Awesome! 🥰Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🤶

Hank Sr. There's a tear in my beer. Jambalaya. Hey sweet baby. I'm so lonesome I could cry

I love your reaction. I love most music and I got to grow up with Hank on the radio.

ok here we goooooooo lol 😂 Saw Hank Williams Jr in concert 🎶 yrs ago. He’s a legend tooooo - Like his dad Love from Lisa the lyme warrior 💚🦠💚🦠 His dad was an even bigger rebel w drinking but yes their music was different - In concert when he says why do you drink - people call out to get drunk and and when he says why do you smoke people call out to get hi.. 😂 it’s so funny so you called it rt on response . Love you Mr Black P

Please react to Seminole Wind - John Anderson. It will be different than anything you've heard before, but it's so beautiful and the best of what country music can be. ❤❤❤

When Hank, Jr., sang 'why do you drink' the crowd said 'to get drunk', and 'why do you roll dope', they said 'to get stoned'.

At a Hank Jr concert, he sings like half the lines. He lets the audience sing as well

This was great, and you were spot on with your take on outlaw country. If you get around to it, a deep dive into Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings are well worth your time.

Hank sr. "Your cheatin heart" "i'm so lonesome i could cry" "hey good lookin"

You have to listen hank Williams jr. All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight

Hank Sr. I saw the light, big hit. Hank jr Mr Lincoln is great. Lots of patriotic songs! He is a true American!

I’ve told people for years that Johnny Cash was basically a rapper. Also, Bob Dylan basically was a rapper they do overlap

I love the live version of this song too! A great song to get the whole bar singing!

You;re speaking your mind, Glad you are,

Theres a tear in my beer!!! Hank SR

I hate that I can't like this more than once...lol This was a great reaction and it's great to see how much all of us have in common regardless of where we came from or where we are now. Keep it up bro!

"Born to Boogie" is a hard driving Hank Jr., kind of mini-bio song about his life! You want G.O.A.T.-ish??!! That is a Magic Ticket to Rock to!! Give it a Whirl! You Will Not regret it, or get it out of your head either.

Hank Williams Jr Country State of Mind

Hands down one of the greatest songs ever written is I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams Sr.

You need to watch a live version of this

Almost killed me in 1973...look up info on his accident, it's the reason he's had a beard since then

The call and response to this song has been going on at concerts and in bars for decades

The traditional call and response is "why do you drink?" "To get drunk!" "Why do you roll smoke?" "To get stoned!" The song he did for football was aversion of All My Rowdy Friends. Another good one is Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound.

Hank Williams Jr - If the South Would've Won

Music is so magical because it brings us all together. I don’t care if it is some classical Holst the Planets, some genius singer songwriters telling us a human experience about fast cars or sinking ships, traditional drumming, wailing bagpipes, or a fun rapper producer in Colorado spitting bars in the car with his daughter, it all is part of life. In the end we learn from the music of a people but rhythm, flow, and music relates to ALL people. Corvids can make and use tools, ants communicate, but unique among the creatures of this earth only humans make art for the sake of art. Music is a universal human form of art that reflects how we relate to the universe. It is a fundamental part of being human. As a person I find music gives me an opportunity to connect with others and learn that deep down we are not that different.

Seen Hank 3 times. Outstanding performer.

Hank can play all the instruments in the band, He was on stage at age 5 singing his father 's songs, His mother was a real trip
