A guitar legend who absolutely does not have the recognition he deserves. But he's happily married and seems to be content in life and tbh who really can ask for more.
I loved this guy. Sold more records than Elvis and The Beatles. Musical genius and it’s just a damn shame to find out that he’s a… vampire. I just can’t support vampires.
When I was in a touring band from 2006-2010, I used to see Hinson was playing the same venues and same tour trail. I was always curious about him, as I used to play rockabilly years earlier and he looked interesting. Its been years and this video was entertaining as I wondered what happened to him. Also did not know he's from Asheville, where I ve lived for 20 years.

I saw him live in a small venue and after the show he did free autographs for anyone who wanted one. Bought a great shirt and had him sign my entry ticket. Some of the coolest things I own. Great show and awesome guy.
He was incredible live - I saw him at the Mercy Lounge In Nashville. He was such an over the top showman that it somehow made people expect he wasn’t goin to be a kickass guitarist. But dude was good…made SUCH a huge impression on me as a young man. The whole venue was hypnotized.
This dude has an outstanding schtick. The Adult Swim issue, the Dolly issue. All of it. Schtick. Outstanding. I'd pay a $5 cover to see him in any bar, anytime.
@@furrtaco5938I agree. I was already annoyed with AS with the whole Workd Peace cancellation, but I had no idea why they had replaced him with Tracy Morgan until now. They fired the obvious talent, and threw away a fucking show that had a 15+ year run, bc of a facebook post. Absolutely moronic.
He's like the very most comedic and extreme version of Johnny Paychek, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Glen Campbell, Jerry Lee Lewis and a Vampire all in one. Legend. ❤
You left out Merle, when I first started watching his stuff recently I thought he looked so familiar then I realized he looks similar to a young Merle Haggard
I think I attempted to go to that show but ended up getting a horrid migraine on the way there. One of the handful of shows I genuinely regret being unable to attend!
I recently sold my last remaining cassette tapes after my last tape deck died (got drunk on Rye Whiskey and flipped my old Plymouth into a quarry) They sold for HEAPS more than C.D.'s were selling for.
Surprisingly enough that's true. Reminds me of the fact that movies are still stored on backup film copies, not just digital, because the film nowadays can last like 400 years when stored properly.
Underrated on guitar as well this man is just a natural. AND someone for the love of god get this man some meat. Baker doesn't just play guitar it's just part of who he is.
You forgot to mention arguably the most bizarre fact about Unknown Hinson: he's one of Billy Bob Thornton's dejected-looking backing band members in that one infamous interview where he goes off the rails on that radio DJ.
Yeah when he was on Q with Jian Ghomeshi in Canada (who’s also been cancelled for alleged sexual violence) Unknown was the Bassplayer for BBT’s band The Boxmasters.
Unknown played Austin several times back in the day. He was always good to the fans. Played a great show and signed autographs for everyone that wanted one. No one ever went away disappointed. Great guy.

I had no idea he was the voice of Early! I remember seeing him alot on TV, my parents wouldn't let me listen to his music but, I did anyway. Dude is a brilliant musician and songwriter! A true Legend!
Saw him live in florida around 2012 and even got him to talk on my cell phone to my little brother. He made sure to explain that no recording devices were to be used prior to saying "Hey there bud" it was a super cool moment for us both. Then I got to see again many years later in virginia where Rev Horton Heat was his backing band. Spectacular!
Brother, thank you for this. Last week was Elvis Hitler. This week, Unknown Hinson. I saw him open for the Rev in Fargo, ND in like 2002-2003ish, to maybe 20-30 people. By that point, he'd started pressing cds. Lol
Holy cow man I didn't know anything about this guy! He is a helluva picker! I've always liked Squidbillies and have seen him in the credits but....damn! I never had the misfortune to see Squidbillies after he was dumped. I can't believe they got Tracy Morgan as a DEI hire for Earl.
Unknown has always been a gun toting American vampire and patriot. So what if he called Dolly that, its all a part of the character and im a fan of Dolly Parton. The man is a top tier guitar player and a musical genius ❤
He apologized for his drunken racism the next day but, after he was fired he doubled back down on it. It wasn't being in character, it's how he feels. Here's his initial message: "So, now this freak titted, old Southern bimbo is a BLM Lover? Remember, slut, Rednecks made you a Millionaire! Yeah leave. Leave Liberals! Unfriend me, please.

@@milotron Nah... it's like that scene in Inglorious Bastards: "You see, we like our Nazis in uniform. That way we can spot 'em just like that. But you take off that uniform, ain't no one ever gonna know you were a Nazi." I was buying his music and going to his shows, before he compared me to a cannibalistic sub-human monster. The man can shred like no other but there's no way I'm supporting that schmuck.
I share the same sentiment. Given I'm a bi liberal who really enjoyed his music, what he said was a giant slap in the face. Apparently, he either became like his character IRL or was just always a spiteful biggot. Sure, he is a very talented musician, and I love that he's like a morbid/vampire/country version of Weird Al, but it's just hard to support someone who seems like such a problematic person. I would sincerely hope he's changed since that post, but I have no evidence saying that he has.
People are too sensitive about words. I grew up listening to gg allin. Dude is not a role model or even a good human. Doesn’t mean his songs don’t get me pumped. Politics really ruins everything.
He was a highschool music teacher lol very very well loved Everyone's favorite teacher is famous in town by default but in his case he actually got famous too. Its a big deal ❤
He was the most down-to-earth guy you'd ever find, my Grandad lost his dentures and Hinson took his out and said here, enjoy your dinner, Zeb. Hinson was an artist who loved meat whether on the bun or on the bones.
Stumbled into the man's dressing room at a show in West Virginia, drunk as hell... he was way cooler than anyone should have been in that situation. Didn't just shoot me. Shook my hand and said ok now get the hell out 😂
@@milotron It was more than talking shit about Dolly, it was calling minorities cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers, etc: "So, now this freak titted, old Southern bimbo is a BLM Lover?

I don't think it was right to call Dolly a "slut," but I also don't think he should have been fired for one angry tweet either. People lose their temper and post things on social media that maybe is a bad idea, it happens.
That was during the BLM corporate hysteria. Adult Swim was afraid of having their Atlanta studio burned down. They would have done and said anything to appease the mob, luckily BLM was too busy with other burning looting and murdering projects while their leaders bought large mansions.
Same geniuses that fired Sam Hyde...I'm not surprised. Couldn't have a comedic southern male white CHARACTER on a fictional show that actually mocks trailer trash people...whoosh
I agree. I also assume the tweet was somewhat in character & may not have reflected his real feelings on Dolly? Yes he said some inappropriate things after in response but it may be him lashing out or just stirring up controversy as stars sometimes do. Honestly I don't know enough about him to know for sure. Is music is phenomenal & sometimes one has to look past the artist to a degree if possible. HP Lovecraft is an example of someone who wrote Amazing stories but his personal views were questionable at best.
ADULT SWIM HAS NO GUTS OR BALLS...~~~~ SQUIDBILLIES IS ONLY ABOUT ABOUT UNKOWN PERIOD....WITH OUT HIM THAT SHOW IS NOTHING~ THANK YOU NC/AND GA PUBLIC ACCESS FOR BEING REAL AND BRINGING THE WORLD OF UNKOWN HINSON IN THE EARLY EARLY 90'S..I KNEW UNKOWN HINSON OVER 20 YEARS AND ONLY TALKED TO TO HIM AS DANNY BAKER 2 TIMES ;()
I remember we went out one night to a show in Charlotte and afterward Unknown came back to my buddy Charles house, Hellstreet Tavern. A good time was had by all! And what a GREAT guitar player. Im a fan for life.
I agree. He probably thought he'd get his job back, but that's just not how that side of the aisle works. The most unbelievable part of the whole debacle was them hiring Tracy Morgan instead of just cancelling the show. That wasn't a finger to Unknown; it was a massive middle finger to us fans and they knew exactly what they were doing!
I'm pretty sure Unknown Hinson could care less what anyone thinks about what he says. And I'm pretty dang sure that Hinson is a real physical part of Stewart Baker. And somewhere deep inside Stewart, Unknown really does exist!
Funny enough, Early Cuyler hates white people. Hinson? "So, now this freak titted, old Southern bimbo is a BLM Lover? Remember, slut, Rednecks made you a Millionaire! Yeah leave. Leave Liberals!

I got to see his last tour as well as some earlier tours with Rev HH and Nashville Pussy. I was close to having my son at the last show and he told me not to pop out that baby until the end of the show lol. Seriously great performer and I love his continued interaction with fans on his social media. His wife is also a gem and she runs his online store where I love how he still sells records.
He used to show up at The Hideaway in Johnson City TN almost twice a year, especially around Halloween. But Dollywood is in Gatlinburg, so I'm not sure when he'll be coming back.
I love Hinson! I would always play him at the BBQ joint I worked at when it was my turn to pick the tunes, and customers would always want to know who it was. Unknown Hinson is a God.
Unknown's the man. Lucky enough to see him play at a Mission Tiki Drive-In event a while back. Super cool dude, got a picture with him and his autograph.
People are so sensitive..He was on a mad rant cause another country music singer went on the whole BLM train..And getting Tracy to voice the character was a bad mistake.
It’s a damn shame what Adult Swim did to Unknown Hinson. Can’t watch the newer episodes after they fired him. There’s only one Unknown Hinson and only one Early Cyler! WROCK!

Except that he didn't do it as Unknown Hinson, he did it as himself. I saw the whole thing go down on Facebook.
He apologized for his drunken racism the next day but, after he was fired he doubled back down on it. It wasn't being in character, it's how he feels. Here's his initial message:
"So, now this freak titted, old Southern bimbo is a BLM Lover? Remember, slut, Rednecks made you a Millionaire! Yeah leave. Leave Liberals! Unfriend me, please. Because I don’t want you UN-AMERICANS around! Have fun becoming an Eloi or something without a thought of your own where you bow down to the ALL-KNOWING-MINORITY! HAVE FUN forsaking your own race, culture and heritage. Have a nice time! Dolly is on her knees sucking one. On her knees, like everybody else. Surrendering her race and culture like everyone else for popularity gain. If you’re white, wake up!"
Huzzah,, i went to every show of his that i could physically go to. God bless you Mr.Hinson,, God Bless You!
The main thing that pisses me off is that his songs are so hard to find conveniently now
All his albums are on iTunes.
@@Voidsurfers well hot damn, thanks!
I took guitar lessons from him in 1996. But he was just Danny Baker. I see him in his 1966ish nova wagon here and there.
Please support Baker Arts by buying Unknown Hinson material. It is all great.
he should have kept his mouth shut, huh?
@@milotron Nah... it's like that scene in Inglorious Bastards: "You see, we like our Nazis in uniform. That way we can spot 'em just like that. But you take off that uniform, ain't no one ever gonna know you were a Nazi." I was buying his music and going to his shows, before he compared me to a cannibalistic sub-human monster. The man can shred like no other but there's no way I'm supporting that schmuck.
I share the same sentiment. Given I'm a bi liberal who really enjoyed his music, what he said was a giant slap in the face. Apparently, he either became like his character IRL or was just always a spiteful biggot. Sure, he is a very talented musician, and I love that he's like a morbid/vampire/country version of Weird Al, but it's just hard to support someone who seems like such a problematic person. I would sincerely hope he's changed since that post, but I have no evidence saying that he has.
People are too sensitive about words. I grew up listening to gg allin. Dude is not a role model or even a good human. Doesn’t mean his songs don’t get me pumped. Politics really ruins everything.
Dude's a living legend !
Undead legend.
Got drunk in a bar in north Carolina. Apparently he's a local hero in albemarle.
He was a highschool music teacher lol very very well loved
Everyone's favorite teacher is famous in town by default but in his case he actually got famous too.
Its a big deal ❤
Hank Williams 3rd has a tattoo of Hinson on his arm. I always loved him, he's the number one chart-toppin' hero! As talented as he is disturbing!
He was the most down-to-earth guy you'd ever find, my Grandad lost his dentures and Hinson took his out and said here, enjoy your dinner, Zeb. Hinson was an artist who loved meat whether on the bun or on the bones.
I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard of this guy. This man is awesome!
"Don't touch the trim"!
*Earlee Squidbilly quote
What song is that at the 30-second mark?
I have heard that riff before but I cannot remember
Dudes a bad ass guitarists
I've played in hard rock bands since the 1980's and I have never heard of this guy,... Love him, ...
Criminally underrated musician.
Total hoot, man! Thanks for putting this out!!
Stumbled into the man's dressing room at a show in West Virginia, drunk as hell... he was way cooler than anyone should have been in that situation. Didn't just shoot me. Shook my hand and said ok now get the hell out 😂
What is the song at 0:30 called

Great reference when he called ppl "Eloi" in that tweet.😂 He was absolutely correct about Dolly in that situation... F cancel culture...🔥🔥
🔥🎸🔥
Unknown is a Southern Treasure that can't be duplicated. Grace and Love
Unknown was the best. Its a shame the spineless adult whims gave in to cancel culture.
He did it to himself. Turns out, people don't like when you call Dolly Parton a slut and a race traitor.
he talked shit on Dolly and got crushed by his own stupidity
@@milotron fuck dolly or any celebrity that uses their fame to spread their political beliefs.
@@milotron f dolly and any other celeb that uses their fame to peddle their political opinion.
@@milotron It was more than talking shit about Dolly, it was calling minorities cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers, etc:
"So, now this freak titted, old Southern bimbo is a BLM Lover? Remember, slut, Rednecks made you a Millionaire! Yeah leave. Leave Liberals! Unfriend me, please. Because I don’t want you UN-AMERICANS around! Have fun becoming an Eloi or something without a thought of your own where you bow down to the ALL-KNOWING-MINORITY!

I don't think it was right to call Dolly a "slut," but I also don't think he should have been fired for one angry tweet either. People lose their temper and post things on social media that maybe is a bad idea, it happens.
That was during the BLM corporate hysteria. Adult Swim was afraid of having their Atlanta studio burned down. They would have done and said anything to appease the mob, luckily BLM was too busy with other burning looting and murdering projects while their leaders bought large mansions.
Same geniuses that fired Sam Hyde...I'm not surprised. Couldn't have a comedic southern male white CHARACTER on a fictional show that actually mocks trailer trash people...whoosh
I agree. I also assume the tweet was somewhat in character & may not have reflected his real feelings on Dolly? Yes he said some inappropriate things after in response but it may be him lashing out or just stirring up controversy as stars sometimes do.
Honestly I don't know enough about him to know for sure.
Is music is phenomenal & sometimes one has to look past the artist to a degree if possible.
HP Lovecraft is an example of someone who wrote Amazing stories but his personal views were questionable at best.
By Dolly’s own admitted history, how is he wrong to say it…?!?
@@cconder19 Well maybe "mean" is the word not wrong.
When the world needed him most, he vanished
ADULT SWIM HAS NO GUTS OR BALLS...~~~~ SQUIDBILLIES IS ONLY ABOUT ABOUT UNKOWN PERIOD....WITH OUT HIM THAT SHOW IS NOTHING~ THANK YOU NC/AND GA PUBLIC ACCESS FOR BEING REAL AND BRINGING THE WORLD OF UNKOWN HINSON IN THE EARLY EARLY 90'S..I KNEW UNKOWN HINSON OVER 20 YEARS AND ONLY TALKED TO TO HIM AS DANNY BAKER 2 TIMES ;()
Unknown Hinson is a God Damn legend and one bad ass guitar picker!
Ive just been going through your content- thank you
What was that first song? He played some magic on those strings!
Opened up for him a few times, cool dude and awesome guitar player!
Legend
Complete and total legend. 🙏
I saw unknown live long time ago now. It was awesome!
I remember we went out one night to a show in Charlotte and afterward Unknown came back to my buddy Charles house, Hellstreet Tavern. A good time was had by all! And what a GREAT guitar player. Im a fan for life.
Nothing he said was wrong, untrue or false, he should've never apologized.
I agree. He probably thought he'd get his job back, but that's just not how that side of the aisle works. The most unbelievable part of the whole debacle was them hiring Tracy Morgan instead of just cancelling the show. That wasn't a finger to Unknown; it was a massive middle finger to us fans and they knew exactly what they were doing!
Was that a Bauhaus riff at the h beginning?
Those sideburns got arrested last week, he wont post bail for them. Shame
Hinson can play the hell out of a guitar. His music is genius. Never get tired of it. All the Womerns love it.
I'd rather Hinson than Dolly any day.
He sings better.
I'm pretty sure Unknown Hinson could care less what anyone thinks about what he says.
And I'm pretty dang sure that Hinson is a real physical part of Stewart Baker. And somewhere deep inside Stewart, Unknown really does exist!
So he got fired for being too much like Early Cuyler? Isn’t that why they hired him?
Funny enough, Early Cuyler hates white people. Hinson?
"So, now this freak titted, old Southern bimbo is a BLM Lover? Remember, slut, Rednecks made you a Millionaire! Yeah leave. Leave Liberals! Unfriend me, please.

I got to see his last tour as well as some earlier tours with Rev HH and Nashville Pussy. I was close to having my son at the last show and he told me not to pop out that baby until the end of the show lol. Seriously great performer and I love his continued interaction with fans on his social media. His wife is also a gem and she runs his online store where I love how he still sells records.
Got hip to him at a hank 3 show sooo good!!!
He used to show up at The Hideaway in Johnson City TN almost twice a year, especially around Halloween. But Dollywood is in Gatlinburg, so I'm not sure when he'll be coming back.
The man can shred.
He did nothing wrong.
Adult Swim should be ashamed.
They destroyed Squidbillies and Rick and Morty
I love Hinson! I would always play him at the BBQ joint I worked at when it was my turn to pick the tunes, and customers would always want to know who it was.
Unknown Hinson is a God.
Gotta see him live and those chart toppin' hits.
Unknown's the man. Lucky enough to see him play at a Mission Tiki Drive-In event a while back. Super cool dude, got a picture with him and his autograph.
People are so sensitive..He was on a mad rant cause another country music singer went on the whole BLM train..And getting Tracy to voice the character was a bad mistake.
I saw him live about 11 years ago. Awesome show
You can't cancel somebody that doesn't give a fuck
It’s a damn shame what Adult Swim did to Unknown Hinson.
Can’t watch the newer episodes after they fired him.
There’s only one Unknown Hinson and only one Early Cyler!
WROCK!
