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.
I'm a Canadian and people where I'm from LOVE hank. People rep the confederate flag and everything. Country is even more than country wide. It's worldwide.
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.
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
No Johnny paycheck? who actually had a huge criminal record! had more charges than most gangster rappers😂 check out some of the music you did on his early recording label little darling pure hardcore honky tonk outlaw country but without the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly hatchet southern rock intrusion
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.
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.
he followd that most his life and it took a toll ,,,,,,outlw country is the best hank williums willy nelson Jonny cash merlhagerd waylon jennings kriss kirstiferson so on and so forth it was the end of the country greats as compaired to todays country its the same with motown and so called music of today im not shure who sang it but brother brother there to many of us what goin on whats goin on mecury in rhe fish so on so forth both white and black music was at its best in the 79s 80 z today they dont even know how to play instruments let alone carry a note
out law music and old rnb its timeless we need to bring back posetive roles for our youth this would stop alot of shootings and hate new performers get paid to corupt our youth it aint right how holly wood is coruppting the youth awfull
How Hank Williams Jr. Survived A 500-Foot Fall Off A Mountain...The artist was not initially expected to survive, but he did, and he spent more than two years recovering from the incident. He had numerous skull fractures and had multiple surgeries to repair them; the scars led Williams Jr. to grow a beard and wear sunglasses -- a look he's maintained throughout his career.
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.
@Chudchanning Glad you handled that I get blocked and warned enough...lol Hank III has been in quite a few bands and different genre. So to pick out only one band and make a statement to cover what type of artist and talent he had is just uneducated.
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.
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.
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.
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😂❤
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.
@HalliCrihfield You would have thought his family would have learned from trotting hours dad around the country for money while he was a really sick alcoholic that needed help.
Bach is the favorite musician of this old white lady, but I love coming here for your commentary on a lot of this music. And when you said you would welcome more children in your life and you want land and solar panels, I just smiled and said a prayer that your dreams come true. If you persevere, I think they will. Blessings.
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"
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 🤗❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
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!
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.
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.
Hank Williams Sr was among the most prolific and successful country songwriters in the 1950s. However, he was also a heavy drinker and smoker. So that is what Hank jr is referring to when he talks about a family tradition. You really should check out Hank Sr's music. It's good, and it inspired a generation of singers and writers.
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)".
This song was my dad's favorite. Him and his family would have this song at all family weddings. They replaced family with our last name. He loved it. God rest his soul.
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!
I saw Hank live in 2007ish with Skynyrd, and nobody knew Kid Rock was there with him that night, so when Kid Rock came out and sang it with him everybody was super surprised and went crazy! It was awesome!
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.
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.
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.
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! 🫶🏼
Yes!!! This right here☝️☝️☝️ Coward of the County would be awesome!!! Hank is great but, to expand your country rabbit hole, Kenny Roger's is a great story teller as well
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.
You're pushing it a little being that Hank Jr is only 74 years old, but not by much. FYI he fell off Ajax in 1975, not 1973. What he is referencing in this song is his failed suicide attempt.
@@garygoodman4342 yes the suicide attempt was frog overdose and yes he’s just short of 70 years of playing on stage it wasn’t meant to be an exact number just a rough estimate. So I was off by 2 years from when he had his fall. The fact is that he has been playing for longer then most and I can’t recall the exact number it’s been many years ago but he had a crazy number of chart toppers on the billboards top 100 at the same time that just can’t be matched. Yes times are different now and I’m an old man so I don’t keep up with the new music and numbers, so maybe I am wrong but he was at the top of the charts for his time and no one would have thought he could be outdone.
@agordon7369 music numbers these days are pointless. It's all digital and record companies pay to have their artists streamed 24/7, so their songs go #1 overnight. Hank Jr's 1st show was in 1957 in Swainsboro, GA, 1st album and single in 1964, in 1983 at one point he had 9 of the top 50 country charts on billboard at the same time, he had 11 number 1 singles in the 80s and has 7th most charted songs of any artist in the history of country music.
Hank Sr. I'm so Lonesome I could cry Move it on Over Cold Cold Heart Your Cheating Heart you have to see/hear Hank singing with his Dad thanks to technology- There's a Tear in my Beer
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. ❤❤❤
Hank is AMAZING!!!!!!! Love me some Bocephus!!!!!!! The beard and sunglasses cover up scars from falling off the side of a mountain back in 1975. He almost died.
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. Had to many big hits back in the 40's- 50's before his death a couple of his song's are "YOU WIN AGAIN". AND "YOUR CHEATING HEART" he has a amazing catalog of song's everyone from Ray Charles, to George Jones, have recorded his song's and other's still are. Yes it's a fiddle, and steel guitar.
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.
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!
"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.
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
I saw Hank Jr in concert in the early 80s. 82 or 83. He was obviously inebriated on something but STILL put on one hell of a show. Incredibly talented. He also has a son, Hank III who has an album called Straight to Hell. That whole album is fire 🔥 Country but with a rock attitude
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.
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!
His fathers was born with lower back health issues and was addicted to morphine to ease the pain and he writes many standards and covered many great ones and dies before he is 30 and is world famous to this very day.. Hank jr is a man that fell of the mountain and rises like The Phoenix ... His head gets crushed and it changed his facial features and he rockets to fame ..
You should definitely check out Johnny horton. He was a country singer back in the 50s maybe 60s too and he has a unique voice that if it played on radio, you would know who it is. He took history and put it in a song and i love it. Sink the bismark, johnny reb and battle of new orleans are some great ones plus many more. Hope you consider it bro.
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.
After you get to some Hank Sr. you gotta check out Hank Williams III, the grandson. He has some amazing songs as well.
Amen.
love it sir
Amen
I'm a Canadian and people where I'm from LOVE hank. People rep the confederate flag and everything. Country is even more than country wide. It's worldwide.
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.
Senior wrote a song about Junior's Mom. th-cam.com/video/Wn2e4Dhod7M/w-d-xo.html
She didn't disown him, jr decide he wanted be himself and separated from her at 18
right@@chadjustice8560
And his son, Hank III, rebelled as well, against how his mom wanted him to live. So even that is a family tradition.
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
Fell off of Ajax in 1975. He had a failed suicide attempt in 1973 that is referenced in this song.
June was his godmother
@@garygoodman4342 - Oh wow, I didn't know that about Hank, Jr. Thanks for clearing that up.
He should check out the song "All in Alabama" which is about that incident.
@@Gutslingerthat is one of my favorite Hank Jr songs.
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
And now you can add Eric Church and a few others.
No Johnny paycheck? who actually had a huge criminal record! had more charges than most gangster rappers😂 check out some of the music you did on his early recording label little darling pure hardcore honky tonk outlaw country but without the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly hatchet southern rock intrusion
Thomphall Glaser and Jessie Colter have to mentioned when bringing up outlaw country.
Kriss Kristofferson
Merle Haggard
Are missing from this list..
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
You beat me to it, that is what we said when I went to one of his concerts, only it was to get stoned not high lol.
Except about half the crowd in the honkytonk will be saying “to get fucked” once their drunk enough. lol.
And in concert
And this is how my high school administration realized they had fucked up, playing this song at a pep rally.
Still do in the bars lol
I'm loving that you get , Hank Williams Jr. And Hank Williams Sr. Cast a big shadow!❤❤😢
Hank Williams Sr “I’m so lonesome I could cry”. PLEASE
Oh yea,, i know that one. It’s 🔥 too!!!
@@BlackPegasusRaps I really enjoyed this reaction. Your smile is contagious.
@@IronRaspberryI just have fun discovering new music hahah
@BlackPegasusRaps how are these comments from a month ago but this video was released 11 hrs ago??? Whats up buttercup???
@@jesseduke694 it was released for members first :)
Merle Haggard- Are The Good Times Really Over. Outlaw Country. Left prison and turned his life around and became one of the best in country music.
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.
He wrote a great song about it too, “OD’d in Denver”
That’s why he wears the glasses and facial hair
@joebauers8031 great song, overdid it in Denver and just can't remember her name
@joebauers8031 absolutely great song!!!
All In Alabama is another great song about his accident.
Hank Williams JR. Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings,
David Allen Coe and Willie Nelson was the shizzle when

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
Love David Allen Coe
Might not want to venture too deep into David Allen co though.@michaelcole4197
Aw, HELL YES, that's an amazing song.
Hank's (Bocephus) father was arguably the most famous country singer of all times.
How Hank Williams Jr. Survived A 500-Foot Fall Off A Mountain...The artist was not initially expected to survive, but he did, and he spent more than two years recovering from the incident. He had numerous skull fractures and had multiple surgeries to repair them; the scars led Williams Jr. to grow a beard and wear sunglasses -- a look he's maintained throughout his career.
Yes it is called Outlaw Country and it is some of the best country.
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.
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
And now we even have IV and the Strange Band
Family Traditions MUST go on.
Hank III is not a punk rocker his band assjack is thrash metal.
@@debiecusic942 he's covered GG Allin and has plenty of other punk influences . And assjack is far from thrash metal as a genre
@Chudchanning
Glad you handled that
I get blocked and warned enough...lol
Hank III has been in quite a few bands and different genre. So to pick out only one band and make a statement to cover what type of artist and talent he had is just uneducated.
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.
When he was a young artist he covered a lot of his dad’s 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.
I would like to add weatherman to this list! Lol
"The Conversation" is another great one he does along with the great Waylon Jennings singing about Hank Sr
Love Hank JR. Time for "All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight" a real rocker...
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.
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😂❤

And to start out doing it at 8 years old just 🤯
@HalliCrihfield You would have thought his family would have learned from trotting hours dad around the country for money while he was a really sick alcoholic that needed help.
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
Bach is the favorite musician of this old white lady, but I love coming here for your commentary on a lot of this music. And when you said you would welcome more children in your life and you want land and solar panels, I just smiled and said a prayer that your dreams come true. If you persevere, I think they will. Blessings.
And yes, he's spilling the tea in this song...lol...definitely outlaw country. The rebellious correlation between, rap, punk, outlaw country is real.
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"
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.

CHECK HANK SR TEAR IN MY BEER!
My vote for Hank Sr is "So Lonesome I Could Cry"
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!!
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!
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote "To get laid!"

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

"And corn bread and ice tea took the place of pills and 90-proof" had to be one of the greatest country lines ever written.
This song was my dad's favorite. Him and his family would have this song at all family weddings. They replaced family with our last name. He loved it. God rest his soul.
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.
Country is story telling....and yes he was an outlaw a beautiful lovely outlaw.
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!
I think his songs come off so well cause u can feel it is authentic....and catchy as hell.
Nothing like the the 50s-90s country.
I love when Hank and Kid Rock sang this together..❤
I saw Hank live in 2007ish with Skynyrd, and nobody knew Kid Rock was there with him that night, so when Kid Rock came out and sang it with him everybody was super surprised and went crazy! It was awesome!
Hank williams sr , hank williams jr , and hank williams lll . All have different styles of music , but they all rock !
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.
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.
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.
You;re speaking your mind, Glad you are,
Hank Sr
I'm So lonesome I Could Cry.
Greatest Party song. You should hear it at the Juke Joint. Everyone loves it!
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! 🫶🏼
Yes!!! This right here☝️☝️☝️
Coward of the County would be awesome!!! Hank is great but, to expand your country rabbit hole, Kenny Roger's is a great story teller as well
+1 for coward of the county. great recommendation!
Love Kenny Rogers! Another one he would probably love is Willie Nelson
“I’ve Got Rights” is as hard core as any gangsta rap song.
Hank Jr is the man!
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.
You're pushing it a little being that Hank Jr is only 74 years old, but not by much. FYI he fell off Ajax in 1975, not 1973. What he is referencing in this song is his failed suicide attempt.
@@garygoodman4342 yes the suicide attempt was frog overdose and yes he’s just short of 70 years of playing on stage it wasn’t meant to be an exact number just a rough estimate. So I was off by 2 years from when he had his fall. The fact is that he has been playing for longer then most and I can’t recall the exact number it’s been many years ago but he had a crazy number of chart toppers on the billboards top 100 at the same time that just can’t be matched. Yes times are different now and I’m an old man so I don’t keep up with the new music and numbers, so maybe I am wrong but he was at the top of the charts for his time and no one would have thought he could be outdone.
@agordon7369 music numbers these days are pointless. It's all digital and record companies pay to have their artists streamed 24/7, so their songs go #1 overnight. Hank Jr's 1st show was in 1957 in Swainsboro, GA, 1st album and single in 1964, in 1983 at one point he had 9 of the top 50 country charts on billboard at the same time, he had 11 number 1 singles in the 80s and has 7th most charted songs of any artist in the history of country music.
You're a good man, and a great father. Bless your heart. We used to sing out the chorus as, to get drunk...to get stoned...to get effed up!
Hank Sr. I'm so Lonesome I could cry
Move it on Over
Cold Cold Heart
Your Cheating Heart
you have to see/hear Hank singing with his Dad thanks to technology- There's a Tear in my Beer
Just saw him live on Monday evening. Amazing as it was my first time hearing the songs we’ve always sang.
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. ❤❤❤
I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in Nashville, TN once. It was awesome.
Oh, Hank Williams, Junior was one of my favorites back in the day Bocephus
BOCEPHUS!!! 🫡
Seen Hank 3 times. Outstanding performer.
“A Country Boy Can Survive” is a masterpiece.
Hank is AMAZING!!!!!!! Love me some Bocephus!!!!!!! The beard and sunglasses cover up scars from falling off the side of a mountain back in 1975. He almost died.
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
I love your reaction. I love most music and I got to grow up with Hank on the radio.
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.
The call and response to this song has been going on at concerts and in bars for decades
We all the same bro, Blues to Country to Rock to Punk to Metal to Rap !! 🤣😂🤣 ❤❤❤❤ 👍😎👍
Hank Sr. Had to many big hits back in the 40's- 50's before his death a couple of his song's are "YOU WIN AGAIN". AND "YOUR CHEATING HEART" he has a amazing catalog of song's everyone from Ray Charles, to George Jones, have recorded his song's and other's still are. Yes it's a fiddle, and steel guitar.
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.
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!
My father loved Hank Jr., this made me smile!
BP i could listen to you talk all day .what a real person .Thank you for just your honest thoughts
"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.
Dive in deep his music is and always will legendary 🙌 👌
I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this Country Classic! You gave me pure smiles! Thanks! Awesome! 🥰Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🤶
Hank senior songs " Your cheatin' heart.....I'm so lonesome I could cry.......there's a tear in my beer.......lost highway
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.
Hank Sr. There's a tear in my beer. Jambalaya. Hey sweet baby. I'm so lonesome I could cry
I’ve told people for years that Johnny Cash was basically a rapper. Also, Bob Dylan basically was a rapper they do overlap
Hank Williams, Jr and kid rock sing family tradition
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
I saw Hank Jr in concert in the early 80s. 82 or 83. He was obviously inebriated on something but STILL put on one hell of a show. Incredibly talented. He also has a son, Hank III who has an album called Straight to Hell. That whole album is fire 🔥 Country but with a rock attitude
I love the live version of this song too! A great song to get the whole bar singing!
With the magic of modern technology, Hank Jr and Hank Sr did a duet There’s A Tear In My Beer.
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.
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.
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!
Follow the revolution from Delta/Country to rock and hip hop. We all are one!
His fathers was born with lower back health issues and was addicted to morphine to ease the pain and he writes many standards and covered many great ones and dies before he is 30 and is world famous to this very day.. Hank jr is a man that fell of the mountain and rises like The Phoenix ... His head gets crushed and it changed his facial features and he rockets to fame ..
Music is universal I love all music! ! Music makes people smile and that’s all that matters !!
Hank sr. "Your cheatin heart" "i'm so lonesome i could cry" "hey good lookin"
Great songs.
You talk all you want. I love seeing you enjoy this walk into country. Have a blast.❤
Hank Williams Sr. There's a Tear in my Beer.
Saw Hank twice loved it both times..,
You should definitely check out Johnny horton. He was a country singer back in the 50s maybe 60s too and he has a unique voice that if it played on radio, you would know who it is. He took history and put it in a song and i love it. Sink the bismark, johnny reb and battle of new orleans are some great ones plus many more. Hope you consider it bro.
grew up listening to everything, its the storytelling that capture your attention
