- Another part of the documentary which looks at the kings of country. This is quite short, but if you are interested in Hank then check out my upload of the Hank Williams Story, which is in five parts.
corporalhenshaw offers the best of country, blues,jazz, rock and gospel Check him out!
no matter how i struggle and strive, i'll never get outta this world alive
Pure talent!!!
My fishin’ pole’s broke, the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I’ll never get out of this world alive
Precursor to Jim Morrison’s five to one
He was handsome like his father, his mother’s resemblance around the eyes. His two grandsons look a lot like him. Hank III can sing like him. Kudos to Jr for making his own way bc it’s never easy being a performer and a child of a legend.
never heard a bad Hank Williams song.
Cuz there ain't none!!!
Only hundreds and hundreds HE NEVER SANG!!
Every genre of music should pay homage and respect to this man.
Without a doubt
What exactly has hank 3 done. Thank his Granddad
@@rowdyyates724 listen here chicken. You want some lime light in your ears, go somewheres else.
Even Hank's most popular mass appeal, bubble gum songs are so much more visceral and real than any country song played on the radio in the last 20+ years.
My dad saw Hank at the Rio Palm Isle, Longview in 40's, I saw Jr. Tyler in 80's, now my son needs/wants to see III like a Family Tradition.
That's awesome . Elvis played the Rio in Longview too. I saw Hank 3 in Tyler about 10 or so years ago .
I saw hank 3 back in 09 and still one of the best shows I ever been to
Well, Hank IV exists now, now, so now he now he has someone else to look forward to.😍😍 Sadly, it appears Hank III is retired.
@@MsAggie78 No hes not
@@synysterguitar63 He hasn't been active for six years, with no indication of coming back.😢😢
Hank Williams Seniors music will live forever as long as there are folks who like good songs about everyday life RIP Hank (1923-1953).
A real hell raiser . Mr Williams paved the way for all types of musical artists.
Hank could never look bad to me, Hank best singer ever was, he hurt deep inside with a whole different hurt , not really pain but hurt, there's a difference. Best singer on earth.
Pain and hurt are different? 🤔 ya know , I never thought of it but …I think you are right
When I first saw Hank Jr Jr... I thought I was starring at Hank the 1st! 😳
Yes. Minnie Pearl told Hank III he was a ghost.
Fluffy_ Kinz: a newer, country-punk-rock version.
@@xenoscoot I woonder if that's what inspired him to write Ghost to a Ghost...
@@edenblack206 It's very possible.
@@edenblack206 i just wish he would come back already
not 1952.
he died in 1953.
i was 8 days old.
spent my whole life in love with a dead man.
Shirley Ford no one knows when he died cuz he could have died before or After Midnight of the new year
Shirley Ford I spent my whole dead inlove with a life man
Whether it was December thirty one or January one, I’m in the same boat. I was born in late February of nineteen and eighty nine and have been obsessed since I first heard that “euphorically melancholy, (if that makes any sense)” universally familiar, and beautifully haunting voice. I feel like you “can’t not” love Hank.
Shirley Ford damn that's sad girl!
Shirley Ford he did die in 52...it was not reported until Jan. 53...i was there
He still lives every time we play his songs they say u die twice once when the soul leaves the body and again when someone says your name for the last time as long as I live hank will too
Bill Davison Wise words pal, like wise.
Yes wise words
Wulf Skal Amen brother.
Beautifully said. Hank Williams is, and forever will be, immortal.
This video never gets old.
Great music and great tales.
He was a master of lyrics and rhythm, very hypnotic music.
Hank III just called his grandma a hot firecracker
Hank 3 is the best hank in my opinion
Keep it in the family
@@GuyFromTheSouth very subjective but I personally agree
Went on vacation to Nashville a few years ago and to my surprise the biggest attraction/star in Nashville was hank sr. Yes hank sr. Every shop you go in. Every store. Every museum. Everywhere you go its hank. Over 60 years after his death he still the biggest star in Nashville. Don't believe go there and see yourself.
It's sad how the country music machine will use his name now that he's gone, it's kind of fucked. The machine will do the exact same thing to Hank III. Mark my word. When Hank III is gone and country music has to evolve because of the "watered down bullshit" they will use III's music to sell country music. Hank III is so talented and probably one of the best song writers ever and barely anybody is celebrating that right now. III is a bonfire legend and has been since the 90s.
Hank 3 is what the Williams really are just ask his dad why hes being repressed now
7:42 Hank III dropping the truth.
Hanks grandson...hell that's Hank ,same body looks I'm Amazed 🥰⚡⚡⚡🔥
I'm a rolling stone
All alone and lost
For a life of sin
I have paid the cost
When I pass by
All the people say
There goes another guy
Down the Lost Highway
Just a deck of cards
And a jug of wine
And a woman's lies
Makes a life like mine
For the day we met
I went astray
Started rollin' down
That Lost Highway
Tom Petty turned me on to that song.
#bobperator
I really appreciate Johnny Hortons version of this song, as you know he married Hank's widow Billy Jean Horton and the last I heard she was alive but in a nursing home and not in the best of health!!!!!
When the wind is right, you'll hear his songs, smell Whiskey in the air. RIP Hank. The man who changed music forever.
Ray Whitt it's midnight in Montgomery. He's always singing there......chilling.
Ol' Hank's always singin' there...
Hank was THE King of Country Music. Hank’s song will be around 500 years from now.
You have to love the fracking accent on the narrator of this documentary.
Best ever. No one will ever come close. Closest we’ll ever have is his grandson.
Hank died on New Years Day 1953, and I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive was only recently released at the time. It reached #1 after his death.
hands down the best country artist of all time and one of the best musicians EVER. Glad his grandson is keeping his legacy (and REAL country music) alive. much love.
wesley gray Like Bocephus isn't?
umm, think you're forgetting about keith whitley there son! and as far as instruments hank jr can play 28 not just an acoustic guitar
Jesus Christ! This guy was just Latin a little respect to Hank 3 and you guys start in with comments that have nothing to son with his comment lol. Comprehension isn't for everyone I suppose.
@Jerry LeeLewis it's not about the talent. It never was.
@@danielsmit11 Keith Whitley?? Hahaha GTFO
They should have gotten Hank III to play him in the movie.
That would've been awesome
Right?? Damn if he doesn't look just like his Granddad!
@@chriscarter6481 sounds a lot like him also
@@Zionsol777 sound like him ,looks like him but handle has his own style
Absolutely
I love that they got ray price to come out and talk
I can not picture anyone as cool as Hank Williams, man his clothes is gorgeously amazingly super star , he meant business... he meant show business.... legendary so cool, those white cowboy boots and suit at 4:23.... man before Elvis , ZZTop ... how many decades gone ... still the coolest to me !
Hey love all hank Williams sr.s faimly
I’ve said it for years , he’s the king of rock n roll and country
What a amazing story ....I was fortunate enough to spend a little time with his grandson....what an amazing person and was such a true entertainer who sounded and looked like his grandfather.....was kind enough to take his time with just me while so many others waited in line to speak to him....was a great experience for me and lord his manager big Al was the most generous and a ball of fire.....true high light of my life ...thank you both for an amazing evening.
So much heartache, he was only 29 when he died, DANG!!!
Only Hank sr can sing his songs no one can cover them as good as he did
The greatest country singer ever Rip Hank Williams
It’s crazy how much Hank III looks like Hank sr.
Oh my stars his Grandson looks just like him!
Not really
Also resembles him with his voice
@JASON VOORHEES are you blind nothing alike besides a couple things
Makes a person wonder about blessings and curses. I think Hank's family was visited by bad fortune as well as the gifts, with his and his offspring's' lives probably the only ones that bear enough evidence.
There's something to be said for 'old souls', which I feel is an accessible way of referring to prodigious traits in people - not merely 'child prodigies' -- who have an otherworldly sense of being.
In a lot of pictures Hank also looked the 'old soul' part. He wasn't even 30 and he often looked like he was over 50. Booze and pills weren't entirely responsible for that.
By the age of 29 I would say that most people have enough 'life experience' to tell some stories, but Hank was in the relative handful of 'old souls' who seem to have a keener familiarity with life's mixed bag. There are 'everyday people' who are cut from similar cloth, but ones like Hank or Elvis were set even further apart with the overall aura of 'self' that fashions a cultural figure.
It's as if some people are just mystically appointed as messengers and minstrels. How do you otherwise explain going from driving a delivery truck to becoming arguably the most important figure in popular music, or having Hank's early six-year run of hits, only to die in the cold back seat of a Cadillac on a road -- literal and figurative -- that most will never travel?
There's a reason this man was known as the "Hillbilly Shakespeare"
hank jr. came to Zanesville Ohio and played my step dad cowboy was splaying on guitar underneath bandstand. with him. hank jr. came by where he was said how cowboy said like his daddy, I lived my whole life with hank sr. and country gold songs. it was shock to hear as kid hank jr. speak to my step dad that day in Zanesville Ohio. since then I barely learned few cords and had to sell my guitar for my kid needs, I taught her as much as I could about some people even my step dad.
The king.......
He sung his HEART out with his life and feelings in most of his songs. A country King, His blood line and his immortal music will go on and on!
KING HANK!
(Hank 3 broke the mold in the best way possible) ❌
They are my lifes blood..i see you too brother. 👊
Hiram hank Williams you will never be forgotten you passed when legacy had just begin rip Hiram hank Williams your the king always n forever will in my book~I'm only sixteen and been listening to his music every since I was 8 years old..
Old school country musician's description of music clubs where the club owners/employees "had to sweep up eye-balls in the morning": "Some of them places were rough..." now THAT is OG!!
Hank 3 looks like his grandpa
When a celebrity actually meant something. Rip hank. Much love.
Nah. Celebrity has always been shit. Hank was just another asshole like you and me.
Son of a Son . The voice lives .
Tony Bennett a bit dramatic
Hank Williams and Layne Staley wow the similarity just different decades.
Hey I'm a huge hank 1,2 and 3..grew up on jr....but I know more about Layne than most..from AIC to to Mad season...The music's beyond phenomenal and for some very personal...but beyond all that what similarities do you...I'll add talent..but not quite sure other than a few minor things..but I don't everything about Hank(the basics)
Layne I know too much about...anyway don't mean to sound argumentative ..just curious
@@jonstrausbaugh9147 if you'll look into seniors background Hank one the similarities of self-destruction in there lives. Waisted talent. And overdose. Hank two is a survivor of that life style but he to had an accident that almost killed him and actually probably saved his life in the end.
Artists hope to write/sing 1 or2 iconic songs in a career. Hank wrote a catalogue of gold classics in only 7 years!
Hank 3 is the next best thing or better? You decide!
Hank 3 has been, thus far, the best live show I've ever been to. He burned through at least three hours and it seemed like he hardly even slowed down to catch his breath.
True that. 3 does his true country show and then AssJack brings it harder than anyone. I think 3 is the best Williams because he earned it on his own while keeping it real to himself with punk and rock while honoring his grandfather mostly and his dad all in style like no one. If you haven't seen him please go with an open mind and ready for it to elevate 1000% lol
@@dougcoellen7342 As much as I like Hank 3 to say he is the best Williams because he earned on his own well so did his dad. Jr was forced to do Sr act by Audrey and didn't really because Hank Jr until after falling off the mountain. Then what followed was Nashville trying to push him away. I think jr earned it on his own. Now as far 3 goes. His first two or three albums were on curb records and his dad made that possible. So he had a little help along the away and even some from someone he has had issues with.
Hank wrote the best country songs of all time. I love Hank III but he ain’t quite done that yet. Not yet.
I have loved Hank Williams all my life. I have loved Hank3 about 13 years.
They are two sides of the same soul & talent.
Merle ain't here no more either
You mean "ain't not here no more neither"
GET YOUR COUNTRY TALK RIGHT.
the Scottish narrator is perfect for this for some wonderful earthy human reason. Bless ya Hank. He goes way back in my life. I was just a wee girl in a dinky podunk southern town. But he was HUGE in the house! ♥
3:41 Pop superstar my ass! He was and is a Country/Western music superstar!!!
But that's what the popular music of the day was. Johnny Cash hosted 2 different tv shows. That's pop culture to me. The shame is that we allowed "diversity" to change the culture.
He was POPULAR dipshit
Do you know what pop stands for? Or what was considered pop back then?
Hank transcended country just like Bob Marley transcended reggae. He was and still is much more than just a country/western singer
Hank III sure does sound like his grandaddy
Bullshit
@@lylebackus1148 have you heard him? Look up.hank 3 your cheating heart
He was a true man , not a fake , his friend Ray Price.
Hank, the original "Outlaw", known as the "which of which there is no whicher"
Hank Williams is the original punk rocker,he is where it all began, decades before the term was even coined,sorry elvis, sorry beatles and stones ,and dylan, and Sex Pistols, and everybody else ......
Hank is with Jesus smiling down at us.
How you figure? Not being judgemental but theres certain things that a person has to do to get to that place and I dont believe the life Hank lived involved any of those things.
@@ericstoecker2096 it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you ask for forgiveness from the lord for your sins
Cold Cold Heart is one of the best songs ever written. There's never been one better. Man he could sing and write. None better.
Love some Hank and some Junior and yes some 3rd!!!!
Hank played with gg allin, jesco white and assjack rocks. The grand old opry ain’t so grand anymore. Pop country really sucks. Even when doing “country” he’s always got that punk rebel feel. Love hank 3. The country rebel spirit lives and its as punk as any nyhc
Well put brotha. I was amazed the first time I hear Hank 3, and could heard those hxc roots in PFF
Hank was , is and always will be the greatest of all time. 2nd to none.
“Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry”
He makes me want to cry !
He conjures up the saddest and most beautiful images of all!
I was thinking who even comes close to elvis presley? Well hank was very close in terms of Karissa, talent and the live of the people. Elvis was a performer. Hank was that and a poet.
Who would even be third on the list?
@@tree7249 Woody Guthrie
@@Jonandbrianshow right on!
Hot damn, Hank III is a spitting image of Hank Sr.
Pandora, Hank 3. 💓Add that to your cellphone and smoke it! 🤣😂
Tony Bennet signing cold cold heart is almost laughable,i can't believe people listened to that. Sounds like a bad night at the karaoke bar
I'll take Hank over Tony ten times out of time.
You can say that again !
And now we have Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan. Well at least they can't take real country like this from us. We will always have it. God remove the scourge of Costco Country and bring us back to our roots
Who wants the title of king. King of country, King of bluegrass, King of rock, and even King of pop, died early. Why this common factor?
Hank Williams Is my all time Favorite country music artist and songwriter. He is Amazing and has a great gift. I love all his music ;)
Heather Mollett had and was /:
Wow Heather I say the same thing
Amen to that!
lotsa people say Bob Dylan changed music, but I guarantee ,Hank changed Bob........jus sayin
Lol bob dylan is from my home state and no one ever talks about him 😂😂😂😂
Bob Dylan , Elvis & all the rest are in the audience watching the King do his thing !
Hell Yeah!! Kinda Place where they sweep up the EyeBalls in the morning! :D I've Known those types of Joints for several years when I was younger... Hank was/is the King of HeartBreak Country. and his Boy JR. was my Country Hero... Thanx Mrs Audrey.
It's outrageous that the Opry still makes money off of Hiram's legacy!
Throwing rocks and drawing guns on one another. ...Love hurts.
7:49 looks like hank III is on morphing 2.
It's just family tradition
Hank had Spina Bifida. Chronic pain is no laughing matter.
Hiram will always be the King!!!
shelton>hiram
feiner6996
feiner69 living with misdiagnosed/undiagnosed spina bifida is living hell
feiner69 You’re dead on people always down play pain that was the big reason why he drank then it became a habit. I think the Grand ole o prey was being more for the money than careing about his health. Yes he was unpredictable. But he had surgery and they wanted him back Now Satan always attacks when your down. Doctors and my work don’t care I broke my neck twice and have extremely bad insomnia they cut my meds by 90” percent and are still taking more away. I think I’ll have to grab a bottle of Jack and 3 cases of beer like I use to just to kill the pain and sleep. Like Hank they don’t care. God Bless you my friend
Wasn't Hank self-medicating for the Spina Bifida? It's kinda hard to judge the guy when he was in such agonizing and legitimate pain.
Like Elvis and others its a shame Hank Williams died so young
Oh wow. How tragic. He was so young.
Hank 1 2 3 great, why the english chick nearly impossible to understand her voice has to be the moderator is Way Beyond me
mark m Maybe the documentary was made by and intended for British Isle people. He probably has fans there, too. They've done documentaries on Elvis, too.
For a start BBC four is a british channel, and secondly she sounds Scottish, not English.
She speaks English better than you write it. You ever heard of proof-reading?
A gift to the world. Thank you sir
Shelton.... we miss you. Please come back. We miss you!
Hank Williams 3 is real good but he can't replace his granddaddy in our hearts.that don't mean that we won't love him too.we already do.hank jr.why don't u love your son?
Whatt gives you the idea that he doesn't love his son?
@@jamestipping5126 he never had much to do with him..hank 3 was raised by his mom..doesn't mean he doesn't love him tho, mabey just cought up in his own life..it must feel odd for Jr to look at 3 and see Sr. lookin back at him.
Junior talks about Kid Rock being “like a son”, never talks about Shelton Hank III or brings him on stage like he does Kid Rock and others.
Love me some Hank music.
Hank 3 like Sam you both got Sr. Looks.
Jeez Hank III looks exactly like his grandfather. He's a good singer in his own right
He lives on through Hank 3. The definition of Rebel has changed.
Man look at Steve Earle in this!
who would have thought hank's grandson would be a GG Allin fan.
Herald Of Nurgle it makes alot of sense actually gg allin was a huge Hank sr fan
he's no senior names don't count actions do
What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Berry May?
Berry May bend over berry and let someone drive you home I think your drunk.
Wtf are you even talking about? Your not only kind of a dick your apparently ignorant as well
GG Allin worshipped Hank
One of my greatest inspirations!
Can’t wait to meet Hank in the heavens
I'm at his grandfather when I was a small child by 75 years of age I wasn't orphanage in Conyers Georgia paying a group of singers come out to the orphanage during Christmas time and he was one of the stars that were there but of course I didn't know he was a shark cuz I don't know what a Star m e n t because we were out 180-acre farm so we were very isolated from The Real World so I didn't even know what a star was until gosh I was 17 years of age made it to Atlanta but yes I was fortunate enough to know I can remember meeting him but that's all I remember because I was so young.
what a great video I am glad I watched this, thank you for the upload!
R.I.P Brother. Wish you could have straighted up thanks for the songs.
Straightened up ???
Addiction isn't "bad behavior" .... is a GD disease. "Straightened up " SMFH
My grandma used to hang out with hank jr in Shreveport as infants in their strollers and either her mother and Audrey were friends or her grandmother .
0:32 I forgot how good Norah Jones was at taking ANY song and making it unbearably dull.😴😴😴 Like, no matter HOW great a song was, she could make it boring as fuck. It was really her main talent.
Slivers of bing Crosby? Pretty sure there isn't stories of Hank beating his family into submission and suicide.
The Original Outlaw Hank Williams
Digging the leatherface pic.
Its been the same story with all singers, they get famous, get hooked on dope and alcohol, then fall to the bottom or die, total waste of life!
Hank 3 is so freaking good...
RIP HANK KING OF COUNTRY
Hank is my cousin!
