In 1952 I was 6 years old, Hank played Live at the calabrese club, in Westerly RI. I was 6 years old, I went to see him with my uncles and my grandfather. I will never forget it. I remember it like it was yesterday. At my uncle funeral 40 years later the played all of Hank Williams songs, I sat there in tears.

The Sacred Heart Singers are wonderful. The overdubbing of the hymn during the battle after the explosion in ‘Cold Mountain’ was beautiful. When my mother and her family went to church as children they grew up on shaped notes, but in the country it was called “fa, sol, la” - the name of the notes, as the singers use @10:34. I knew pianists who played by shaped notes from hymnals. Seems like a lifetime ago, and those were good days when looking back.

Hank Williams Jr. looks just like his mama. Dang, if Audrey hit him in the head with one of those thick liquid bottles they had back then....my God, that had to of caused him to have a concussion. Good grief!! He was already suffering with his back and she just made matters worse. Dog gone it...!! He probably shot the gun because he was in so much pain and he probably thought she didn't understand or didn't care. No wonder he was upset. Anyway, he sure could sing. I remember growing up listening to his music and I loved it...still do. I even remember commercials would come on the TV advertising his albums back in the 70's. My mama would be cooking in the kitchen cooking supper and my daddy would come home from work at start singing to my mama, Hey Hey Good Looking...Whatcha....got Cooking...??!!! My little sister and I would just laughh and laugh. That was cute. 😉😃❤ I'm sorry he suffering so much in his life and didn't get to see just how wonderful he really was and still is. Hank Williams will always be remembered and always loved. May he rest in peace. 🕊✝️🌟❤

Hank Williams has written many beautiful songs which are still loved and covered by many musicians. But IMO he is somewhat overrated. He was a capable singer with a nice but not very special voice. I like most of his songs better when they are covered by artists with more interesting voices. Hank Williams' premature but probably inevitable death sparked all those legend. But he didn't even manage to become a member of the legendary 27-club! Sorry, my last sentence is too snarky - but I don't like all those exaggerations.

Frankly, other artists may have had longer careers and more hits. But, to me what Hank did in a pretty short period of time of writing songs and having hits makes him the greatest country artist of all time. Yes, I know about Jimmy Rogers, Cash, Haggard, Jones and quite a few more and I like all of them but for the short period he was on this earth he accomplished something that never will be matched. I have often wondered what Hank would have accomplished if he had lived to be an older person. Lord, that man was talented and no one will top what Hank accomplished in that short period of time in country music in my opinion.

I'm german and sometimes have a hard time understanding these deep southern dialects :D I understand what they say but I have to concentrate a little more. Usually I have no problem with that. Sometimes I have to go back and hear it again. A little frustrating, but natural of course. Texan for example is much easier to understand than this 'bama accent. I find it funny, the other way around, imagining some english guy trying to understand bavarian, a german dialect, or eastern german. They'd have an equally bad time with these. But it's a great docu about one of the greatest and most influential. He embodied what I find fascinating about country since my childhood days when my father gave me my first country CDs with various artists. Little did I know that all these great names, that were just names without faces to me, later would become my favorite singers, like Jerry Lee, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Willie, Dolly, Jim Reeves and many more. Back then I didn't even speak English. It was great nontheless listening to these songs. I FELT them. Today they all have faces. Country started it all for me.

@Sven Greetings from the Deep South. I would think that some of the trouble you have in understanding southern dialects would likely be the southern ‘drawl’ that tends to put an extra syllable or two in words. That can include a nasal sound effect as well. Then there are the dialects that have trickled down from the Appalachian Mountains and hills where most of my people have roots (we’re Scots-Irish from the 11th century; I also have Cherokee and Poarch Creek native tribes as well). There are so many native names for counties, towns, and places that have their own pronunciations that sound nothing like they’re spelled and spelled nothing like they sound. I can understand why you have had problems understanding words because of this. I’m born and raised in the area but there are names, words and some peoples’ ways of enunciating that leave even me lost in the dirt. It’s pretty bad when at work I ran into that on the call light board in hospital, and a nurse from the northern Midwest US had to tell me what someone was saying, lol! One would think that a word having only three letters couldn’t be that difficult, but it was. 😁 You have company here in these parts!

Hanks physical pain had an awful lot to do with who he was and how managed his surroundings! I don’t discount this pain and it’s treatment...it added drastically to his Downward Spiral into pain meds & alcohol! Many of his songs were about death, his death, and how he saw the finish line where his time in this world would end for him. Remember not every song he sang was about Audrey, many were about the Almighty and his own death in that realm as brought out in his music and those who knew him well at the ending of this video. Just sayin is all....

Audrey is the most selfish woman I know. She is, I believe, the cause of his death. I don't blame Hank for having an affair.

Jimmie Rodgers was the first huge country star but I don't think he ever reached the heights that Hank did star, superstar are 2 different things. I love Jimmie but even now 70 years later Hank is the one they all look up to and acknowledge as the greatest ever country singer plus I don't believe Rodgers songs appealed to as wide an audience as Hanks did. Jimmie was known for train and hobos songs were Hank could rip your heart right out of your chest his words touched so close to home singing about relationships and people's mortality basically singing the type of songs the world had never really heard before especially in the 40s.

I was never a big country music fan, and was born 13 years after hank died, but I know all these songs. And this is a show worth watching.

Hank and Jimmie were so similar. I’m surprised he didn’t mention Rodgers as his hero/mentor instead of Acuff and Ernest T.

It's the best song we've had... financially :-D that had me in stitches. The guy was a genius songwriter. The Luke the Drifter stuff is my personal favourite.
