You are so spot on !! with the family comments.. Everyone I believe in the world has one of those. The dynamics. The generational differences.. The love. The insecurities, the need to do what is right "not only for yourself but the expectation of others--- Then it can go even deeper in your psyche and conscious and self esteem , Thank you for sharing. Blessings for the new year. You didn't mention Hank III ???
I am really starting to like Sam a lot. I cant help but give him props for not sticking to the family mold. His new music coming out is a little more on the pop-y side. Not like country pop though. I would VERY HIGHLY recommend his new song You Cant Fool Your Own Blood. A bit of a heartbreaking song, but he can write a song and sure can sing. I would suggest the studio recorded version, but im sure you prefer live. They are good live sessions, i just prefer the full band studio version.
I mean his songs might not match the SOUND perfectly but the lyrical content? Its still pretty raw Songs like Glasshouse Children and Can't Fool Your Own Blood hit pretty good
Katie is his sister. She was killed in a car accident last night. Miss Audrey I guess was his Grandmother. I thought he was saying hold her hand. Katie had a company called Western Jane that made custom t shirts. They are from the Paris TN area.
I’m almost 100% positive he’s from Paris TN. Can’t say for certain that Sam was born in Paris but I could about bet he was born in TN. Hank Jr was living in TN around that time frame. I remember I was a member of he Hank Jr fan club in the 90’s. I called the fan club number before it became a 1-800 number like it is now and this young boy around the age of 3 answered the phone. Come to find out after a lady got on the phone (assuming it was Hanks wife Mary) she said the little boys name was Sam.
Janette Lampson Seidel He had signed legal papers via lawyers/with his mother and B.Jett the mother of Jett Williams that he would pay all expenses and get B wherever she wanted to go but he was to have custody of the baby. She was born two days after he passed/funeral and Lillie got her. Lillie’s daughter promises Lillie she would keep and raise Jett if she died, but after Lillie suddenly passed, she reneged and put her in foster care, and buried the truth about her father, a conspiracy. Supreme Court ruled saying they’d never seen such acts of illegally hiding a child’s truth and granted her what she was due. Hank wanted his baby. Her name is a tribute to both her biological parents. Hank Jr and family had no idea what had happened bc of the aunt’s actions along with greedy others including the aunt’s.
See a lot of Lillie in him around the eyes, Hank’s mother, but Hank Sr’s father is where the best looks come from. He was a handsome man, bless his heart. Spend his last days in a hospital from terrible injury and its results.
This song was so good I had to look into it! It’s an ode to his grandparents he never met. He sang about how he wished his grandfather knew that he understood him as well as the wish that his grandmother Audrey was around for his sister Katie to look up to. His music style and emotional vocals are fantastic. Thanks for introducing this one!
Sam said in an interview that Tyler Childers was his favorite musician and his biggest influence. This kinda puts me on the fence with young Sam...I mean who is he going to sound like when he finds his own voice? Talented young man but I'm going to withhold judgement until he's a little older and more experienced. I noticed you've only done one song by Sam's big brother...how about "Country Heroes" by Hank Williams III?
I think you're right. I listened to songs from three years ago and his vocals are very different. But thumbs up for a good Tyler Childers impression! I still dig the new sound, but I guess we'll have to wait and see if he's found himself yet!
@Terran Henderson I did Hank 3, I just forgot to include him in my spur-of-the-moment thoughts when I was making the video. :-) Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/FkwDZioDKlc/w-d-xo.html
My family is big fan of hank Sr 'and hank Jr.i was raise up with hank sr music. My brother was in 1948 .our grandfather nickname him hank.to this my brother love all his song.
Sam said something I wish I could say. I'm A fan he is family. Can you picture heaven Without music I have a uncle I never saw. Maybe I could sing a song.
I thought it was a beautiful song. He does sound like Tyler. Maybe that's part of the reason I liked it so much! Now you've heard a tid bit of the Local Honeys, I hope you get the chance to react to them soon. They're a couple of talented ladies. Some of my favorite. I've requested them so many times, but here I am again, lol. Check out Cigarette Trees or I Love You, Charlene. They're something special❤❤❤
Hank Jr AND Hank III both wrote songs about Hank Sr. being an alcoholic and painkiller addict. Hank Sr. was a visionary, the Kurt Cobain of Country, if you will (but not scuzzy, EVER!). I think this kid shares his Grandaddy's talent for telling stories that wring your heart out with sorrow, and LOVE. And I didn't even like it that much! Rough diamond. HWSr drew inspiration for his songs from "True Romance" magazines. Pulpy, kinda trashy, they were mainly read by housewives and teenaged girls, but they were very DRAMATIC, usually tragic tales of joy leading to lost love, pain, and sorrow. Hank could relate. THIS guy knows pain, too. There needs to be a family reunion, to let the hurt carry on for another generation is a disgrace.
@@SamWilliams1 You're welcome! This song has grown on me. I am grateful for your heritage, but now you remind me of YOU! I haven't had such a good feeling listening to an artist since I sat listening to Rodney Crowell (Earthbound) a bit ago, and I wish you the best in your future career.
Well, the first time thru this song...I wanted to hear "Follow you to Virgie" so much it was distracting. So I left the vid to watch that one. So...after that bad start...this song is good! The beginning feels like he's singing live...does the album version kick in at the 4:00 mark? It feels like one of those Springsteen videos where he sings live even though it's an official video. (Oh...and if he wants to stay a liberal...maybe adding a little bit of Bruce to his vocal style will help him find an audience on the rock side of things?) Hey! Just noticed you're a lefty! At least you play "chickin-pickin'-air-guitar" left-handed...hah...
@LJPorcello LOL!! Actually I'm a righty, but thanks to playing competitive tennis (believe it or not) years ago I developed the ability to bat from both sides of the plate--right side for power, left for average. I had looked into guitar lessons years ago but you're right, I instinctively want to pick with my left, which I later learned was also the way Hendrix played. The instructor told me he'd need me to switch to playing with my right hand if he was gonna be able to teach me, so that ended that endeavor.
Im not sure About him yet on the fence lol he does look alot like his grandpa but to me personally I think Hank 3 sounds And is more like their grandpa and sings more like the Willams than Sam not putting Sam down he has some talent of course but just my opinion right now lol
I love this song! He dose sounds like Tyler Childers but nothing wrong with that. All of Bocephus's kids have great talent, but Holly and Sam are my favorite. The music/sound and the way the it is written is really good and simple. I really like the music video. I can definitively tell he put much emotion in this song, at least in my opinion. His Cover of weatherman is good too. I think the younger Willams family should have more spot light.
Sam looks just like Hank, I say he is Hank's son. why is it important for people to dig into other people's Heritage.. you say for fun, but what if they just want to live privately since they get enough Publicity..
Helping her with their brand is like Ms Audrey did with Hank Williams Jr helping him with his career and he was in the white suit in the suitcase they were trying to make him look like Hank senior what she looks very much like
This is just awful. Where tf is Hank 3?! This kid looks like Jr pre-fall...he's playing the "industry game" like a good boy. Hank 3 is spitting image of Hank Sr and can write songs like both Hank Sr & Jr plus mix in rock, punk and metal. He don't play no industry game.
@Wendel Hardy Funny you picked up on that--as I was doing the reaction, I knew I was missing somebody but had so many competing thoughts vying for attention in my brain that Hank 3 got lost in space. Ha!
He is the son of Hank Jr's and his present wife i believe. He looks alot more like Hank Sr than any of the other grandkids i believe, Love Holly's music and what i've heard of Hillary, and Hank the 3rds, but not sold on Sams, would have to hear more of it than just this song
@Mike Cip What I meant was that slamming someone isn't my style. As for whether I like real country or not, that's easy enough to discern from the videos I've done and my reactions to them.
@@RockN2Country didn't mean any harm brother✌️ I just think that if you mention the talent in that family his name has to come up! But most won't bc of he's not main stream correct! But it happens as all the time so it's not surprising but he's just as talented if not more talented then the rest IMO! You got a good channel tho! Again I didn't mean any disrespect sir✌️
@Mike Cip Oh, I see how you meant the original comment---thanks for clearing it up! Yeah, I'm good with all of the Hanks. Each has/had his own flare and style, so I take them for what they bring to the table. Sounds like you've got the same approach.
I like his voice- the song is piecework- unfinished. He needs some direction. Some structure somewhere, somehow. Maybe with some maturity he'll figure out where he wants to go. Til he does I don't think many will want to follow him.
Sam is obsessed with wanting to be compared to Hank Williams. He used to be on my Facebook friends list and he was always doing split screen of Hank sr n himself and other weird shit to compare himself to H.W. I'd chirp at him every chance I got and he would go back n forth with me. I'd try and bring up Hank iii and he wouldn't even acknowledge it. Lol got sick of him so unfriendly him. He's an oddball.
This $#!@ sucks!!!!!! Discraceful HANK is rolling in his grave!!!! Music sucks and it just repeats itself over and over! Nope only legit child of hank jr and grandson of hank Jr is hank lll!!!!!!
Man that boy is good
This is about Sam…. He is his own person. I watched him grow up…. I get it. He’s from a small W TN town. So proud of him! We love you Sam.
You are so spot on !! with the family comments.. Everyone I believe in the world has one of those. The dynamics. The generational differences.. The love. The insecurities, the need to do what is right "not only for yourself but the expectation of others--- Then it can go even deeper in your psyche and conscious and self esteem , Thank you for sharing.

@Jules Taylor Amen all the way around. Happy New Year to you too!
He's just FABULOUS....and of story...gives me goosebumps....WOW...🤯❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Audrey was Hank Sr's first wife so yes his grandmother. Hank Jr's mother. still cant figure out who Sambo is.
Lol. Sambo is Sam.
I really like this song. It's really unique. Beautiful lyrics. R. I. P. Hank Sr., Audrey, and Katie.
Not easy being a legend’s child bc no matter what route they choose they get castigated.
I’m almost 100% positive he’s from Paris TN. Can’t say for certain that Sam was born in Paris but I could about bet he was born in TN. Hank Jr was living in TN around that time frame.

That me
The only grandson of hanks I know of and who looks like him the most is hank 3.
Hank 3 and Sam are hank sr only grandsons but holly Williams is there sister and has some good songs
Kolton Custer and Hilary, Holly’s whole sister. Both grandsons look like grandfather.
Hank Jr has 2 boys 3 girls, Shelton, Holly, Hilary, Kate and Sam
Shelton is the one who goes by Hank the 3rd. Sr had a daughter (Jett) he didn't raise, she was put up for adoption.
Janette Lampson Seidel He had signed legal papers via lawyers/with his mother and B.Jett the mother of Jett Williams that he would pay all expenses and get B wherever she wanted to go but he was to have custody of the baby.

I believe that Sam was born in Springville,tn my daughter and I knew him thru Grade school there an an amazing family
A beautiful song!!
See a lot of Lillie in him around the eyes, Hank’s mother, but Hank Sr’s father is where the best looks come from. He was a handsome man, bless his heart. Spend his last days in a hospital from terrible injury and its results.
Is there a picture of Hank Sr's dad?
Katie in this song is Sam's sister that pasted away
Loved hearing your thoughts. Interesting song indeed

He sang about how he wished his grandfather knew that he understood him as well as the wish that his grandmother Audrey was around for his sister Katie to look up to.

His sister, and Hank Jr's youngest daughter Katie was killed in a car wreck late last summer.
You should do his version of weather man
That's where he was born
Sam is so talented !!!! He is one of my favs.
Sam williams was born New Braunfels TX lives in Paris Tennessee
Heart ripping story in his song.he definatly sings from the heart. I dig it .
Sam said in an interview that Tyler Childers was his favorite musician and his biggest influence.

And the spirit invites Jesus into the room. Love Gospel.

Hey Don you also got Hank 3 👍 on the video see I’m not always negative
@John Mcclurg Nice recovery. :-)
Hank the third sounds more like Hank Sr Sam looks more like Hank Sr but the older he gets the more he might sound like Hank Sr

Don't forget about Hank 3!!!!! Shelton Hank Williams III......He's bad ass!

He does sound like tyler childers to the tea

There is Hank sen Hank Jr hank3 sam William hoiy Lucinda
Love the old bluegrass sound, but the lyrics don't make much sense, and the vocals sound way overproduced.
This kid is deluded. The only kid of hank jrs with talent is Hank3
Holly shits all over Hank3. Hilary can out-sing Hank3 any day.
A good voice but I don't like the song. And what's with the drinking?! Seems like they would want to remember the good side, which Hank Sr had.
His voice is too pop country-ish for me.
