Poor, hungry, and blissfully ignorant isn't a common thing amongst us country folk now. Country music was good up until the early 1970s. Country folk come a long way up until then. We have it good now a days. Rap music is what country was. Thats why its popular to so many. I'm sure eventually it too, will go as country and rock and roll have gone, to the formulaic, soulless, and bland. I sure do miss hearing these great songs, and thank you for uploading them for us all to hear.

Amazing to me that the history and legend of the Opry is so indebted to Hank Williams, and yet he was fired from it back in '52 and was never posthumously reinstated. The weird thing is that for a while they had a Hank Williams impersonator greeting people. So does that mean they'd rather have a fake Hank instead of the real deal? I guess to their way of thinking, at least the fake one is sober . . . maybe so, but at the end of the day the fake is still a fake. REINSTATE HANK WILLIAMS!!!

What I remember most is that the show would go on and on and on and on and every minute wonderful. So much great talent and great music and fun humor. The Opry operated with a very innocent yet saucy framework, clean as a whistle but also a bit naughty if you listened closely. A dream from long ago.

The TRUE KING 🤴🏻 OF COUNTRY I'm sorry but Hanks music is a lot better thank George, he actually wrote all of his songs 🎵 unlike George and told stories. I love me some George Strait but if Hank wouldn't have passed away so young he would have probably had more #1 hits or at least top 10's than any other country singer. Hank Williams has been my favorite country singer since I was about 10 years old and my dad bought the Life Time Classic Country Cassette Collection back around 1998. I remember Hank and Patsy each had their own cassettes with nothing but their hits and the rest was a mix of other country hits/singer's starting from 1950 and it went all the way to 1975 or 1979. My brother's and sister's didn't care for this old country but I absolutely fell in love with it and am the only person my age (31 tomorrow on July 4th) that loves classic country or that knows half as many of the classic hits that I know. Actually I don't know anyone under the age of 70 that knows as many classic country/bluegrass songs/#1 hits or singers/artists as me. It's a shame classic country is dying off and being forgotten and it really pisses me off that it's "embarrassing " or you get picked on/made fun of for listening 🎶 or liking classic country/bluegrass especially when I was a kid in school. I got called a lit of racist name's and remarks from other's like (honkey, cracker, hillbilly, redneck, whiteboy, bolillo, guero etc. Smh I love our white heritage and roots (except slaveryand stuff). I wish more of us would too 😪 there is nothing wrong with being white and from the country

Two languages tough to learn as a kid? In primary school we learn both Dutch and English, then from the age of 12 we also learn French and German (and in my case Spanish too). It's not too bad once you get used to it.

It's nothing short of criminal that Hank Williams Sr. is not a member of the Grand Ole Opry. He was one of the most popular entertainers to ever grace the boards of that stage. Even if they felt he had to be let go because of his personal demons he should have been reinstated immediately after his untimely death. I have visited Nashville many times but have never gone to an Opry show and never will until this travesty is rectified.

yeah, it's really odd that they haven't fixed their "mistake". I wonder what's what.

Hank was a member of the Opry but he showed up drunk a lot. He got tired of all the BS that went with being famous he never wanted to be famous. He wanted to sing in bars for a few dollars and drinks his first wife pushed him to go to Nashville. He got a record deal and that lasted a few years. They dropped him because of his drinking and being drunk. Then a Christian music company hired him to write gospel songs for them. He did write a lot of gospel songs that are used I. Churches today yet. He knew the Bible if you never heard any of his gospel music look it up on here. Hank was no saint. He was a drunk and hot headed. His mom was his rock but Hank did it his way. He had a bad back all his life. But drugs and booze don't mix it will kill you. Even if you use one or the other it will kill you. If you don't believe it. Look at Hollywood and see how many young actors and singers died of drugs. Booze killed a lot too. I love Hanks music God gave him his voice and he killed his self with all his drugs and booze. That's what happens you drink then you got a pain and then you take pain pills and die. Because you forget how many and when you took them and you drink booze to wash them down with. You pass out never to wake again. Sad life some lead

you were there? You're stating popular conceptions ...I.m basing this on extensive research going back to 1957 & records back to 1923..blues is an American invention,,, even the blues of Mali was based on Malians listening to American artists...& it is a fact that Jimmie Rodgers was about the only blues for many of the artists of the '40's & '50's because he sold to everybody & the black artists were not given quite the same exposure..but believe the cliches, ignore the experts..just enjoy.

I've done the research...many black blues artists of the '40's & 50's stated that their first exposure to Blues came from Jimmie Rodgers on the 20's & 30's....& check out Mississippi John Hurt in his early recordings (before the Hippie College Kids corrupted him)...he may have been black, but he sure sounded like hillbillies if the 20's...discrimination against black artists existed...but it's just as racist to deny the FACT that white Hillbillies knew the blues as well as any Black Person....

It is hard to belive the grand Ole opery will be on air 100 years. Not many radio shows on that long. Radio was new technology in 1920s . The ryeham is still used today

I thoroughly enjoyed this and subscribed to your channel. I love old opry (WSM) clips when such legendary performances were still in their early careers. Lord knows, country music radio has changed so much since then. Thanks friend. Stop by and visit. ~BCK

Had the good fortune to catch the Grand Ole Opry a few years back when it was broadcast from the Ryman just for that night. Wonderful. Coulda been 1949...except I suspect the sound was a little better.

Many on here seem suprised how blues sounding Hank was, not only that but he was doing rock n roll 5-6 yrs before rock n roll was invented. Rock around the clock was said to be one of the first then Elvis with that's alright mama an old blues song btw but we're talking late 1954- 55 then really took off in 56. Hank done move it on over, mind your own business, amongst others in 1947- 52 Hank was way ahead of his time. He was taught to play guitar as a kid by an ol black street musician called Tee Tot Rufus Payne so Hank was definitely influenced by blues but I've always said country is just white man blues. Haters always putting country down saying it's depressing and sings about tragedy which is true but why is blues called the blues, well my baby left me it's no different singing about the same thing country songs do but blues isn't thought of as sad music for some reason.
