He certainly was a huge entertainer that changed country music forever!

Allen Jackson's midnight in Montgomery! Says! It all! RIP HANK!

Hank Williams Sr, the man, the myth, the legend!

Hank Williams was a great singer and did alot of songs.I remember Hank in the 70s when I was a kid my dad would play his music.May Hank Williams,RIP.And my Dad passed away 2002, was 66,May my Dad John Parsons,RIP.💐

I appreciate your passion on your Hank vlogs. I share it, too. I've listened to Hank since I was a kid. I didn't understand, then, what he was singing about, but, Lord, I sure did learn to. One Hank story: My uncle was on the Tennessee Highway Patrol from the late-40s to mid-50s. He was stationed in Rutledge, TN. The night Hank died, they were radioed that Hank had just left Knoxville and to keep an eye out for his Cadillac as it came through. My uncle said it was a quiet, cold, snowy night, that night. No other cars on the road....until that powder-blue Cadillac passed through town on Hwy 11.

HANK WILLIAMS WAS AN EARLY PUSHER FOR COUNTRY MUSIC... HE WAS COUNTRY MUSIC...WHEN COUNTRY MUSIC WAS COUNTRY MUSIC....THANKS FOR ALL YOUR TRAVELOGS...

This was a heartfelt tribute, I could hear it in you as you read the tombstones.My father worked for ASCAP back in the 50's /60's and I, in the 60's growing up, knew Hank's music very well. I just want to acknowledge the chronic pain in which you spoke about, that he suffered. Sufferers are very aware, if not, they should be, that 'any' dose of painkiller can be a final one. Where does one think many words of pain he sang about came from? From his constant state of 'being.' It cheats you, robs you of a life that will never be complete and always has strings attached. He was speaking to God Almighty in that song, I know, I've lived there, especially the third verse. It's only superficially a song about being sad & 'alone,' to others, never afflicted. Internally he was a sad man who understood God gave him so much but, he also keeps your heart through trials and tribulations, so we don't stray too far from the path. I think Hank was a sweet gift, if only briefly on earth, he still lives on, how lucky is that! Thanks Jordan, it was a touching video.

This has to be your number ONE video!! I was raised on HANK'S music, my father idolized him. Keep up the great videos,, I love them all but this is your best. You are the greatest narrator!

Hank Williams Sr. Will Never Be Forgotten His Wonderful Excellent Songs Will Be Played Forever.

Yes The birds were clear.And jordan does great videos.Have a great day

I went there last year. I found it rather interesting that you filmed stuff in the museum. When we came they told us we couldn’t take any pictures, so you possibly had to sneak and take your videos. The best part was getting to visit Ole Hank. I’ve been wanting to pay my respects to him for over 45 years. It was the high point of my life.

That statue with the Nudie suit was fabulous, Jordan. I cant believe he was only 29 when he died. Such a loss. Such an incredible talent cut short. What a majestic grave site for an icon. Thank you Jordan. This was definitely incredible. Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤🦁

Wonderful vlog ! I think so many brooding artists are old souls ,they have troubled lives . These people are so special they leave the earth way too soon ,but their gifts to us their art , is enriching the world forever. RIP Mr.Williams you left a beautiful legacy for millions to enjoy.

I am at a loss for words, Jordan. Your style of story telling is part of your gifting, and as you talked about Hank, I was so moved; it really touched my heart. I loved everything: from the details of the Nudie suit on his statue, to seeing his and Audrey’s graves, and the beautiful messages from their children engraved on the backs of their gravestones. I also enjoyed the trip through the museum, though sad when seeing the car he died in. He left a tremendous legacy of songs for us to enjoy. Thank you for taking us along and sharing this with us.

Such great stories !! I've never seen the actual car he passed away in or the things they found in the car . I've always loved Hank Williams song's . I remember my dad would come home from work and my mama would be cooking . My daddy would start singing , Hey..Hey...Good Looking... Whatcha...Got Cookin... ?!! LOL!! My mama was such a good cook , especially her fried chicken !! Please don't get mad at me for sharing that . Can't wait to see the Hank Williams house in Nashville. I've never seen it before. Thanks for the great vlog.

I was raised on his music.... I've always wanted to see his grave...and visit his town. Thank you, what a wonderful vlog. Awesome job!

When I visited the museum, a very eerie feeling surrounded me. I've never felt that before or since.

My great grandpa and Hank were friends in their younger days. They actually passed away months apart. My husband's grandpa was a Drifting Cowboy. He played the fiddle.

Without Hank country music would not be what it is today. Great vlog

What a wonderful tribute to one of the greatest artists of all time. His voice is like no other. Even though his life was short he left such an indelible mark on country music. Really enjoyed touring the museum and hearing about his life. His grave is a beautiful memorial to his great talent and legacy. Thank you so much Jordan! What a wonderful vlog today!

What a grand grave! I love the message from Audrey on the back of the tombstone. It was nice that you showed more of the family to make it a complete story.

Hank Williams will always be a legend for his impact on the music world. I grew up listening to his songs and can sing many by heart. Seeing the death car was surreal. Very well done vlog, and the grave portion was very respectfully done Jordan. As you were walking around the grave and naming the songs carved in the headstone, I started singing them in my head. Excellent Job as always. Thank you for sharing!

I'm sure his and Audrey's rocky relationship had some to do with Hank's drinking, but even more so was the fact that he had spina bifida which pained him greatly, so he'd drink to also help relieve his pain.

Awesome grave site great man with great songs. He had a wonderful & a amazing voice .So sad he died so young. R.I.P Hank & audrey.

How fabulous!!! An amazing and wonderful blog! I think Midnight in Montgomery was written about him. LOVE your road trips!

What a FANTASTIC vlog, Jordan! I could hear the emotion in your voice as you read the back of the tombstones. I've never been to the museum downtown or the gravesite. Thank you for reintroducing me to Hank and to this little city I live in!!!

Jordan this was a beautiful tribute to Hank Williams. This is one of my favorites. His resting area is absolutely beautiful. I grew up listening to his music. Thank you Jordan for a wonderful vlog nobody could have done it better. Much love to you and God Bless... Nada

Jordan thankyou for this documentary. It's truly amazing how someone so famously talented and gifted could live such a sad lonely life. Hank never forgot his religious upbringing and the impact on his life.Many years ago I worked at a factory in a department with a couple of older women and they were always singing one of Hank Williams songs. His music ,His life ,His death ,truly made him a legend. Mo Bandy sang a song ,Hank Williams you wrote my life . Thsnkyou for this video!

Than you for another informative vlog on a talented man who tragically passed so soon.

I didn't grow up listening to country music, but I have heard about Hank. He was born with the same birth defect that I was, Spina Bifida. I have the most severe form and he had the "least" severe form (side note:John Mellencamp has it, too). However, like you mentioned he was plagued with back pain most of his life. Most people with his form of it usually aren't diagnosed until they are adults, so he probably wasn't getting proper treatment. It is a shame that he died so young, but his music has, obviously, resonated with a lot of people for many years.

Hank was a classy, classy guy. A true musical genius.

I had a similar car in my teens. Thanks for this history. Loved this.

Thank you for the patreon clips of Hank as well. If he had lived, he could have sung with Dolly, Loretta or Patsy. That would have been something.

Hey Jordan! Happy to see you're in Alabama. If you happen to come back, please consider visiting North Alabama. More specifically, Muscle Shoals, AL. FAME Records, Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Hellen Keller Museum, etc. Lots of great content. Our area is rich with history, especially music history. In fact, there's a documentary about our area and the music created here called, Muscle Shoals. Also, if you're I'm the area, we would love to have you at ArxMortis Haunted Attraction. Free tour! Come see us, brother.

Neil Young is the owner of one of Hank's guitars he still uses it in his shows. You can see the age on it when he plays it, beautiful guitar in terms of the connection to Hank.

Oh as I grew up I remember I my mom loved Hank and would play his albums... we woke up to his songs early on Saturday mornings. She would tell us stories about dancing to his songs. And about the crowds...Oh how great was that part of our childhood. Yes when I think about Hank I remember him fondly!! Thanks so much Jordan for this part of your travel vlogs... love, love, this vlog, made my day a little brighter and what a trip down Memory Lane. I appreciate your time in putting this together for your loyal viewers, fans🌹🌺🌸🌼🦋😥🍀🍀👏🏻👍🏻😉

Beautiful vlog. Hank Williams will live forever. Great wordsmith. Great vocalist. Died way too young but man he packed a lot of life in his short time on earth! 💕. Good job Jordan.

Awesome tribute to the late great hank Williams, 🙏RIP

Jordan, I can't thank you enough for doing these vlogs. You're taking me to places that I will never visit but, through for eyes I have seen a lot of cool places and learned cool things about movie stars lives I never knew So,many thanks

Love Hank. There will never be another singer like him

Jordan, thank you for sharing Hank with us.

I almost skipped this video, then I remembered from long ago that voice, those words and the way he sang his songs like he meant it, yes he was and still is amazing. Thank you for sharing this video and some background/history on the great Hank Williams.

Nicely done. A great tribute to a talent that was truly unique and one of a kind. Even in his brief life he left behind a legacy of music that will be with us always as will Hank Williams in spirit.

Loving the Alabama vlogs Jordan...all of them. Big thanks to you.

I love seeing different places and learning about different artists through your eyes. You always make these Vlogs more enjoyable with your excitement. Thank you, Jordan

Fabulous vlog. Thank you Jordan for all your amazing. storytelling.

I remember hearing a lot of his songs. I was not a really big Country music fan growing up but I did like him and Patsy Cline. I didn't know much about him.. I really enjoyed learning about his life. So sad he died so young. As usual I thank you and wish you the best.

Great one! Beautiful gravesite. The sweet sound of the birds in the background was sadly beautiful! I can remember growing up listening to his songs. Thank you for letting me tag along with you.

I'm like WOW, I could feel the reverence in your voice at the graveyard. You gave an honorable tribute to Hank.

May you rest in peace, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, and thank you.

I know every song because my mother loved him. She’d clean and listen to Hank. Kaw Liga was my favorite. I was so little, but to see this brought once again beautiful memories. Thanks Jordan. I can hear the emotions while you are reading the messages. ♥️ you’re the best ⭐️

DONT EVER GIVE THIS UP..YOU ARE THE BEST .I watch these EVERY chance I get and well into the night..I'm going to become a patreon because I believe in you. Your awesone!!!

Hank Williams, "The Shakespeare of the common man." It is said when he recorded, "Men with broken hearts" he supposedly said, "Now ain't that the saddest thing you've ever heard?" Which in reality he was complimenting his own music.

I loved Hank Williams music. This is great to see.

Wow....another wonderful historical vlog...heard his music being played when I was a little girl in the ‘60’s. Never knew how Hank passed🎯from an Ohioan

Well, Thanks again Jordan, You keep bringing them and getting better and better, I did hear a lump in your throat when you read the back of of Hank's stone and it did hit my tear gland too :'( I also wanted to tell you something that I found out not too long ago about Hank's second Wife Jean, she married Johnny Horton after Hank Died, and she is still alive and living in Shreveport, LA. WOW! that's amazing huh? I heard Johnny Horton died in a car crash and she never married again, her name is Billie Jean Horton if you want to look her up, and she is 85 years old now, thanks again Jordan, you are the Man ♥

Awesome vlog Jordan! Alan Jackson did a great tribute song to Hank called " Midnight in Montgomery". If you've never heard it or seen the video, you should check it out. Hank is one of those rare artists that transcends generations, everyone knows who Hank Williams is!

The first time I heard Hank Sr. I was 9 years old. That was 1964 and I've been a huge fan since then. I also am a big fan of Hank Jr. Shalom to you all and may our Messiah's love and blessings fall on you like the summer rains.

Thanks Jordan for this video. Very well put together and I learned so much from watching this. I appreciate what you do.

Thanks again Jordan for another sweet vlog!!!! My dad was one of Hanks biggest fans ever!! Because of him I also became a huge fan!! My mom & dads favoate song was Manison On The Hill.

What a beautiful tribute! Loved this vlog. I can feel your respect and admiration for hank. I’m sure he felt it too. ✌🏼❤️

Having grown up in Montgomery, I've been to Hank's grave many times. As my Dad told me, and I've found to be true, when you go to Hank's grave somebody is already there visiting or someone will drive up before you leave, if not both. Noting the Blazer driving off, you found this to be correct.

I love hey good lookin (Rip Hiram ‘Hank’ Williams 1923-1953)

This made me a subscriber! I have chills watching this. My favorite is I'll never get out of this world alive

you always do your homework. your videos are great, the back stories you provide are amazing. thanks for the work you do.

Hi Jordan, what an amazing grave, some time and money sure have gone into that, what a lovely tribute from his children. How despicable that people can desecrate graves like that. Well, another great talent that went far, far too young. I really liked the memorial statue of him at the start of the vlog. Great vlog Jordan.

I saw Hank Williams Jr. in concert twice back in the 1980's and he put on an awesome show. If I recall correctly Hank Williams was scheduled to preform at the Hippodrome Theatre here in Baltimore Maryland but apparently was on a drinking binge and ended up being a no show. I don't know if you've ever heard it but listen to a song called " The Ride " by David Allen Coe. Keep up the good work and be safe.

Jordan Jordan he’s our Man!!👏

I would like to take a big ole roll of paper, and make an etching of that gravestone.

Wonderful pair of vlogs on Hank. Your love for this man comes through,

He still IS country music and will ever be.

Jordan that was so touching. You did a wonderful job. You are so kind hearted. That's what drawed me to your channel years ago. You keep it real. Thank you so much.

My son and his family were visiting Hanks grave, really freaked them out when they heard music playing lightly with what they said you could hear Hank singing very light also .

I don’t know very much about Hank Williams but today’s vlog has inspired me to check out his music. Thank you Jordan, a really great vlog.

That was great!! Thanks for visiting all the great Hank sites and for sharing all your knowledge about the man!!

This was one of the coolest vlogs you've done. Hank Williams is like one of the best of the classic country singers and songwriters. So sad how his life would be

I do like a bit of Hank Williams.

So very sad so very sad. He’ll never be forgotten and always be missed. He played some good music.

Thank goodness Hank's music lives on....gone too soon. Crazy stealing from a grave....not cool. The building where people were sold it is part of history sadly, thank you Jordan for telling Hank's story :)

Another Epic Hank williams vlog Thank you Jordan greatly appreciated

Love Hank Williams music! No one else in the world like him. Great Vlog! Thanks again Jordan! Awesome

I have lived in Shreveport my whole life and I don't don't live far from The Municipal Auditorium, where the Louisiana Hayride took place. Claude King is my cousin from my dad's side of the family, and on my mom's side of the family I'm also cousin's with Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley, and Jimmy Swagart. The Municipal Auditorium is the home of James Burton's Music Foundation. James was Elvis Presley's guitar player. He recently passed away and it was a very sad day here in Shreveport. Recently Hank Williams Sr.'s house in Bossier City on Modica street was recently torn down. My great grandparents lived next door to Hank lived with his second wife. There's a lot of history here.
