For the 44 people that gave this a thumbs down....please get your hearing checked.... This is proof Dwight can sing anything!!!! Awesome rendition of one of the best songs by the late great Hank Williams!!! Dwight was so young and adorable here!!! His voice does this song great justice....and changing up the musical ensemble just makes it intriguing!!! So please people don't ever give Dwight a thumbs down again.... 😍
DY is an American Original just like HW. It can be a lose lose when one covers another's song...for example when others cover Guitars Cadillacs they don't do it justice. Lots of love for the tribute.
Kind of grows on you! If you only remember Hank's version, this sounds a little light but after playing it a few times takes me right down to that bayou. Great job.
Realy Cool. Dwight is one of the best. Old Hank I am sure is far from rolling over in his grave over any injustice that may have been commited(none). Seeing as how Keney Chesney and Garth Brookes records continue to sell I think country music has more to fear than a man who has spent his career showing America how great this genre can be again.
I heard about Dwight just some weeks ago. I like his music a lot- It's a pitty to live in Germany. We do have some great countrybands and bars here- but it's not the same as it is in the States. His lyrics are great and he does well renditions to old countrysongs- as he does here to Hanks song...
I had a found a slightly better version of this song by Dwight elsewhere on TH-cam that I thought might make the beat sound a bit better for you, but it's apparently been removed for some reason...if it was due to terms of use or some BS like that, I sure don't see the "rightful owner" posting it here...
not as good as ol'Hank. but Damn! he's got the BEST Country music voice.. and "he shudna done that... he was just a boy.. mmhm" (-Slingblade.. for those who may not know.)
ya...too bad every single artist dosnt sing , play,and sound like ol'Hank.We wouldnt have to call it music anymore,or artists,just hank...If u want to listen to someone else, dont click on DWIGHT!!!
I can't fault Dwight cause he's a great talent but this song sin't for him. He's tearing the soul right out of it. Hank Williams and maybe Billy Craddock are the only ones to really nail it.

He has the perfect voice for this song. Nice, very nice.
Only proves he can sing anything and it sounds gold.
Love the 2nd singer. Such a great unique voice ❤
Reall good voice for this song.

Can't speak for the others, but best I've ever seen in concert by far.
Dwight always gives big respect to the Fathers!!
Totally agree he is a true master of music.

I dig it
thibedeaux......whoooohoooooooo
Does anyone know what year this is, mid 80's? How about the venue?
1984 maybe?
Don't you feel bad for six people who disliked this song?
Everyone does it in their version, as a tribute to the song.
Hey! When and where was this performance? Long before he went big time..and it's easy to see why he did!
i see pete anderson in the background so that narrows it down a bit, they got together in 1984
is this at CBGB?
swingin'
He looks really young in this. When was this?

the tulsa man!
Its A Tex-Mex Sound That Buddy Holly Used In " Not Fade Away "...... Dwight Prolly Took This From Him,,
Deliver check
not as good as ol'Hank. but Damn! he's got the BEST Country music voice..
and "he shudna done that... he was just a boy.. mmhm" (-Slingblade.. for those who may not know.)
ya'll got any fresh biscuits in there hmmmhmmm
weak, just like every other version i can find on youtube. why does nobody post the ames bros? i have looked for so long
Sounds really dreary compared to others who have done this song (see Camille Marceau, for a start).
goood :-)
Why did he do it ala Bo Didley,I love Bo but duit like Hank !!
Oops hank William..but first heard nitty gritty do it!!!!
Besides, Karl's liable to bust a spring...
r u serious
ya...too bad every single artist dosnt sing , play,and sound like ol'Hank.We wouldnt have to call it music anymore,or artists,just hank...If u want to listen to someone else, dont click on DWIGHT!!!
great song......DWIGHT not SO much!
Very interesting cover...not so sure I like it?
Sorry this video just does not do it for me.
I can't fault Dwight cause he's a great talent but this song sin't for him. He's tearing the soul right out of it.
Hank Williams and maybe Billy Craddock are the only ones to really nail it.
@MrHardworker09 Amen brother. I love his music, but he can be a real jerk in person and towards the crowds at his concerts.
una cagada
The bass player who is doing the "harmony" is flat out ruining this imo
Dwight truly murdered this beautiful tune, flushed it in the toilet ....... if you want to hear a great version, check out the Carpenters
yeah none of these covers are good to me anyway if you like them cool but i dont like the way they did it
How to make a classic sound like any other tune. Sorry but he can't hold a candle to Hank.
fail! dont play hanks songs like this!
This guy is a joke compared with Hank Williams.
