    I know some earlier Hank fans didn't like the new country-rock sound, but the fact is, he was sick of doing the stuff that MGM wanted him to record.We all see all these years later, Hank was right.After all he went through, he carved out an incredible career, millions upon millions of records sold, and finally going into the country hall of fame.Long overdue.Well done Bocephus.

      Hank loved what was going on in the country rock, southern rock phases in the 70s, and not only him who hated doing what the recording company wanted him to do but Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson did the same, too. Crazy how their sound changed a whole lot in the 70s.

      ​@therandomsoldier710 There's a big blues influence in his playing too. I don't think personally realize how talented he really is. He pulled all these different influences to come up with his own unique sound.
      Waylon recorded this song too. When country music started getting a bigger, slicker sound with more synthesized music, Waylon kept stripping it back down to the basics. Nothing around today even compares to the outlaw country era.

      +Paul O'Neal Comparing Hank Jr and Hank Sr, is not the best way to approach the subject. Both father and son are true greats but very different styles in terms of song writing and musical sound. I could listen to both all day depending on what kind of mood I am in.

    Ol' Hank is a natural born guitar player and does it his way. In the 70's he really learned how to get down on a guitar from Gary Rossington, Dickey Betts,Toy Caldwell and alot of others. He's one of the few great talents that has ever come along. Been going to see Hank when he comes town since the 80's and his guitar playing just got better and better everytime. Nobody plays like good ol Bocephus.

      I agree with 90% of what you wrote, but I wouldn't give any accolades to Gary Rossington. He was a 2 bit player at very best. Other than a little slide work on Freebird and feedback on That Smell, his contributions to the world of guitar were actually comical.

    • @madcapper6

      I would classify southern rock as a sub genre of rock with blues and country elements but not quite as country itself. I wouldn't call Willie Nelson "southern rock" and I wouldn't classify Blackfoot, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, ZZ Top or Molly Hatchet as "country and western." But yes, the Marshall Tucker Band was a bit more country and western than a lot of other southern rock bands.

    as a kid growing up it was "a country boy can survive" and "family tradition" but as I got older this is now by far my favorite Bocephus performance! Just look at the way he plays his guitar and that happy smile on his face... that was pure joy standing on that stage... hank Jr has always been my favorite country artist... and until someone else comes along with a better story and more heart and soul to outshine a true legend, he always will be... although I can't imagine that happening in my lifetime or for several generations in the future. this video really shows the pure heart and strength that he had to overcome such a horrible accident and look at the way he shined! for all you haters out there why don't you just try to go back and think of another man who has overcome the shadow of a legendary performer, (hank sr) the tragedy of near death experience, then drug and alcohol addiction. Hank Jr has overcome so much in his lifetime and beaten it all back with a big stick and is still on top of his craft! If you happen to read this Hank, you are loved by millions worldwide and id consider myself your biggest fan! And before I forget, anybody that likes Obama can kiss our ass!

    This is by far the best cover of "Can't You See" that I have ever seen or heard. It took a very beat up, hungry and determined Hank Williams Jr to pull it off and did he not do a magnificent job?!?!?!

    Possibly the best version between him, waylon, and toy, would be cool to have a trio. BTW maybe a oberlooked guitar player in a genre of GREATS.

    I used to think Waylon’s version of this song was the best, but after hearing this. Ole Hank’s version may be the best.
