Debra Jean Wagoner I know you told me on the old Hank Jr board that you're a fan of Hank Jr's MGM years; as am I. Were you, by chance, a member of the old Hank Williams Jr International Fan Club, as it was called when it was in Nashville back before the Cullman, AL, move? Did you ever go to any of his shows back in the '60's or early '70's? Do you remember the old Hank Williams Jr BBQ restaurants that he had for a while?
Hank jr performed his father songs very well. Hank sr. would have been very proud of him. If his mother and other would of let him be his own person, maybe he wouldn't have went through all of his bad times. He prove them all wrong and figure his way out from them. He showed them all he knew how to be his own man and to make the music that his fans loved. He was a great success in all his music whether it was country, country rock, rock, jazz or soul. Finally after all these years someone woke up and placed him in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I am proud to be a life time fan of his.
Hank Jr is a huge talent in country music. You can see from the very beginning to now that he has made his own way. Started off like his daddy and later cut loose to form what we call Outlaw Country but no matter what you call it it is definitely Hank Jr, a true talent all the way.
Charles, My Dad was one of the Hank Sr. fans that was upset when Jr. went his way. My Dad loved Hank Sr. so much that people in our small town in Virginia called him Hank. I was probably three years old before I realized Hank was not a family member. Hank Jr. was a talent himself. Take care Charles and keep it country. Judi.
Yes he was put in, but it could have not been done more discretely and disrepectfully. He was entered in as a legacy artist with Marty Stuart going in the same year as a country great. No disrepect to Marty Stuart; a very talented musician, but compare their objective metrics; it's laugable what they've done.
Bocephus is a legend and one of the greatest entertainers of all time if you could at the same time he could play every instrument on the stage not to mention his saying is above great
As for the comment about Buck Trent. My tenor singer Ryan and I went to Nashville and while we were there decided to be tourists once we were done and had some free time. We went to the Opry at the Ryman, Earenst Tubbs Record Shop, The Gibson Guitar Shop at Opryland and while we were there there were a few people playing different instruments so I picked up a Martain 12 string guitar and on their next break I told Ryan let's play Rolling In my sweet baby's arms key of G. We started playing me and two other guys on guitars, right away I heard the three banjo players jump in and then the two fiddle players. As we played I heard behind me a banjo player really getting it, the best in the room. I looked at the guitar player beside me and wow that guy in back of us is great, he yaw he ota be it's Buck Trent, I looked back over my left shoulder to see Buck Trent smile. I was going hoping to meet him but he got a cell phone call right at the end of the song and took off. Say what you will but I was in that room and he is a great banjo player, don't know why he jumped in with us but I am glad he did.
Was expecting to see only Hank, Jr. ( Man of PURE Talent, IMO), but was thrilled to see 20 minutes of great old Country music! Loved all of it! Thank you!

Hank, Sr., was born a century ago this year, 2023. What a torturous life it must be to be the son of a famous genius and be trying to find your own way, your own voice, your own soul. I don't think I could do it. I'd get lost in all the noises and voices in my head and get tangled up in all the strings being pulled and yanked and twisted in my heart. Whether Hank, Jr., did a good job or a not-so-good job finding himself and his own voice is up to nobody but Hank, Jr., to decide. Record sales and the Music Industry are not the judges.
I agree. The night that Conway Twitty was on the show Trent was out of time and too loud! TH-cam it and you will see. The two songs were, If you were mine to lose...and Working Girl. I wanted to shoot him!
Those two center strings have a special set of tuner knobs. There's two set screws, and you tune each string to an upper note and a lower note... then it can be turned between the two notes. Shubb was a popular brand, some people made their own.
Was lucky born in Southern California in Cowtown #1' milk producing per capita on earth. Outdoing Wisconsin to Scots Irish grandparents from Missouri and Arkansas. Okies and Texans. Great depression, dust bowl WW2 cotton and prune pickers .These songs I grew up with and and genetically this is what my friends and family looked like. From the Carter's to Cash Haggard Jones , etcetera. True doppelgangers I think the word is. What was the blessed land of milk and honey and simple ways of life. "You can treasure your wealth your diamonds and gold but my friends it won't save your poor wicked souls"Hank Williams Sr. As close to being born in the milk barn as my generation gets living in the closest one of two the hired hand cottages. Yodeling Calling in the Cows with my grandfather. When it comes to the drifting cowboy way of life it wasn't my first chose but maybe there's something to this fate destiny and God stuff. "No such thing as out mending fences for so long now" Eagles. That's cowboy heaven.
Also went from being looked down on for Western shirts Levi's and cowboy boots too blue jeans cowboy boots a world wide fashion. Culture shock 101. Horses and buggies to smart phones and spacemen and woman.
I always thought Cuntry music sucked until I rediscovered real music, pioneered by the late Great Hank Williams, musics first superstar! Proven Timeless!
This was NOT 1964. It would have been at or about 1968. Hank Jr was in the movie "A Time to Sing" in 1968. He was 18. Hank Jr did not develop and start using his own voice, sound and style until 1970 when he did the theme song for "Kelly's Heroes" with the song "All For the Love of Sunshine" (his first number 1), and he even further mastered his vocals in 1972, at which point, he had an amazing voice demonstrated in songs like "Eleven Roses"; "Last Love Song", "Pride's Not Hard to Swallow"; "All I Have to Give You is My Heart".
The movie Porter mentioned was 'Country Music on Broadway' that premiered in December 1963. So this could well be 1964. And this is exactly how Bocephus looked on the Jimmy Dean Show and Ed Sullivan that same year.
Man I just love Hank Williams and Hank Williams jr. Bocephus Porter Wagner all the old ones good Lord it just says back then is just real country and I know there are some that still a real country lot of them are but it's just I don't know that old twang is she still replacement for the old swine my love and soul music
He Doesn’t Look Like HANK SR, BUT His Son, HANK III LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HANK SR, SO, I Guess that HANK JR ( Looks Wise) Takes MORE after HIS MOTHER’S PEOPLE !
So proud that Daddy had Hank Williams Jr on his TV show.
That was great.
I've always been a big fan of your Dad. Porter was one of the greats. I put him up there with Hank Sr
Your daddy, Porter, supported young Hand, Jr. when not a lot of people did. I salute your daddy for that.

I always loved Porter, the Carroll County accident was one of my favorite songs! Entertainers like him are one in a million 🧡
Porter is a Legend saw him at The Opry back in 1978 then again in the 80’s

As someone just getting into music, can suggest some albums of his that showcase his talents best in each of the genres you named?
Hank juniors son, Hank III,
Is the one who sure looks and sounds like his grandfather when he wants to. This is classic! Thanks.
Lol
Tons of talent
I think Hank jr. obviously took a lot after his mother.
You blind, hank jr son is a devils man
Jeff you are so right he looks and can sound like hank
That's old country music and the old country music will live in All of us and may god bless all the country singers that is still alive

You guys know the conspiracy theory of the orginal Hank Jr. Being replaced aka Mountain Fall? Just wondering...
Hank Jr was born in 1949, so here, he is 15 years old ... sweet kid, he must've gone through so much.
Hard living, Hank Sr and fall off a mountain. Hard to follow
He went through way too much
He may have only been 15, but carried himself like he was 30.
He might have been only 14, depending what month this was filmed.
Hank Jr should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame!!!!!!
He was voted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this year 2020.
Yes he was put in, but it could have not been done more discretely and disrepectfully. He was entered in as a legacy artist with Marty Stuart going in the same year as a country great. No disrepect to Marty Stuart; a very talented musician, but compare their objective metrics; it's laugable what they've done.

This is Awesome!..It’s so cool
To hear Hank Jr’s voice in his early years.

Nice one Charles. Shame you didn't get a chance to speak to him, a nice guy I bet.
I love these videos from the days of real country music 🧡

Such a soothing voice, he may not have liked this period but he did it very well.
He is 15 yrs. at that time he did real good.

This is real country music. Mind you all, black and white TV. Im now 65 can remember black and white tv.
IMO, his Luke The Drifter Jr years was his best. True country roots.
Hank Jr. was quite the cutie. He sings well, too.
This was when he didn't mind sounding like his dad.
Love Hank Williams 🙏❤️
Even back then Hank Williams Jr is and was talented. ❤❤❤❤
Just great, start to finish!
Sounds so sweet. Oh boy. I'll tell you.
Man, this whole video is so sweet
So glad he became his own person!
I’ll never be able to master turning the tuning peg down and then back to its normal place while playing lol
Get a Scruggs tuning bar and you can.
Hank the 3 is the very image of grandfather. The son of hank is nothing like him. 😞
Living Legend. Bocephus Hank "Rockin Randall, Thunderhead Hawkins, Wham Bam Sam" Williams Jr.
Buck Trent is a monster!
I agree. The night that Conway Twitty was on the show Trent was out of time and too loud! TH-cam it and you will see. The two songs were, If you were mine to lose...and Working Girl. I wanted to shoot him!
????
In the First song I Love the Banjo "Hillbilly Wammy Bar" tuning the string while playing it.
Yes that’s what I was thinking
Those two center strings have a special set of tuner knobs. There's two set screws, and you tune each string to an upper note and a lower note... then it can be turned between the two notes. Shubb was a popular brand, some people made their own.
@@beaujangles5946 cool that you know this much about it

When the USA was the USA ❤
Porter was top shelf !
He was really clean cut at the time but had to do things his own way
jesus died for you so live for him
I was about to say " that aint hank" then i realized it was porter
My gosh, he’s 15 years old here, if the 1964 Title is correct? Born - May 26, 1949. WOW-looks mature and totally full grown!
Next video went to your father. When a cowboy sings. "Some folks say he looks a lot like me." That's what I just commented on.
Great
Can we please mention the dude on Banjo? 😮 Buck Trent
Porter should have had Jack fiddle more.
HK Junior sounded like himself. Very good performance imo.
It messed up Hank Jr's mind to walk in his dad's shadow and his life really got strange.
Hank 3 a rebellion leaning hank and great artist.
Hank 3 is a non talented zero.
@@LT1HILLINGHOE It’s your opinion man, Any music that evokes emotion is a good music, He’s the real deal if you can’t see that that’s too bad

When did he do “Cajun Baby”?
That wasn't the movie. "Country Music on Broadway" is the movie they're talking about here. This is 1964.
It is 1964. That is the year the movie, "Country Music in Broadway" came out. That is the movie Porter is taking about here.
Wow the video tape still exists?
Buck trent he is great
Buck Trent playing the banjo ended up on Hee Haw.

Thinking about getting a boob job. She saw all the hookers in Nashville and loved their out fits and what they had to offer.

This is the 2nd time in ten minutes that I've heard this. Where did this come from?
@@Countrymusicnut45 I wonder how it came about
No he's the son of hank williams
Carlene Carter is Carl's daughter.

SO, I Guess that HANK JR ( Looks Wise) Takes MORE after HIS MOTHER’S PEOPLE !
He's singing "son of me gun." It should be: son of a gun.
