Hank Williams wrote this song for Bill Lister to record. Since Hank couldn't read or write music, he had to record demos on acetate discs. It was Bill Lister who found this acetate in his attic in San Antonio, TX as mentioned by others, and contacted Hank Jr, who was only 3 when his dad died. The video is the key to this recording, the storm was added to hide the pops and scratches from the original acetate disc.

Thanks for that info It's so interesting! I remember watching the video in 1989 and thinking it was so great to see given the lack of technology back then as opposed to now!

You should watch the video!! They took an old Hank video and added junior to it!! Priceless!!!! Great reaction!!!!

@@RockN2Country The video was definitely a very special part of this song. It has a long backstory as it was an unreleased song of Hank Sr. that was found 50 years or so later. It was the first video to take footage from a long ago show of Hank Sr. and merge it into a new video of today. You should look up the history on this song. Enjoyed the video, keep em coming!

Best lyric ever. One line tells a whole story.

Hank always wished he could sing with his dad so when a friend of Sr. who was in the band found the old recording hank took it to the studio and had his voice put in to the same track and all that stuff but the video is always puts a smile on my face

I love anything Hank Sr he was and always will be the king of country music 💜

Awesome song! I haven't heard this one in awhile by Hank Williams, Sr. and Hank Williams, Jr. Did you know that his dad called him "Bocephus" It's written on his guitar. Great reaction!!

This is one time that technology is great. Getting to hear father and son singing together

Hank Sr was a wizard with simplicity. He could show heartache so well.

This wasn’t released to too many radio stations in 1951 so Hank Jr could claim it as his. The video of this song was the best of technology in 1989. Today would appear much more real

The video of Hank Sr was from about 1942 with the Grand Old Opry stars being taped for the Kate Smith Show in NYC. His lip movements were computer altered which was brand new technology in the 80s. This won CMA video of the year the first year it was offered.

Ya the video of hank sr is hey good looking so they take jr and added to sr

Really fun song, it makes me miss moseying down dirt roads in Jeff Davis County TX. It's the scene straight out of an old Western movie, with only two radio stations playing old classics like this. Time didn't change things out there and these songs surely fit the mood. Now I'm longing for a road trip!

Hank Sr died when Jr was 3. Hank Jr recorded his part in the mid 80s.

Hank Jr was 3 when Sr passed. Sr wrote and recorded it, then In the late 80s Jr rerecorded it. When Jr recorded it, he had auto of Sr singing mixed with it. Check out the official music video Jr released with this recording... Mix of both singing and playing "together". It's definitely a cool song/video, but you can definitely tell how far technology has come since the late 80s. Haha ❤️🐘❤️

I love this song...my dad was from WV and i am a country girl at heart!!

#RockN2Country I love this song. Hank Sr. was 29 when he died, Hank Jr. was 3. The video is really cool Jr. dubbed himself into a video of his dad and it kinda looked like they were playing together. Kinda.

Well since Hank Williams Senior died 1953 and the song was released 1989 I'm pretty sure that it was separate recording

This won an award !

Hank jr was a small boy when his dad died love both of them. His dad was one of the greatest country music singers ever

Hank Jr. was only 3 years old when Sr. died. They electronically put their voices together

This video was do innovative at the time it was released.

It was the same as nat and Natalie cole, only hank did his first. the original recording of this song was found in an attic in San Antonio Texas. One of hank Sr. friends had it.

It’s a track and they were able to use technology to make it seem like they were singing together Hank Sr. has been gone since Hank Jr. was little.

I heard someone say that country was just "yeehaw pop music." And you know what, I kinda like that.

You should have watched the video then you would see that it was a special video put together with an old film clip of Hank Sr. From the 50’s and a recent video of Hank Jr. it made it appear they were singing together but in fact Hank Jr was only a few years old when Sr died. It’s an amazing video

I agree, the video is what this is all about. It was the first video to take old footage of Hank Sr from 50 years ago and do magic to put them in one video singing together. Possibly the greatest country music video ever made.

Please play this video of Hank Jr and the video of Hank Sr singing together.

The original version was written and recorded by Hank Williams during one of his Nashvillesessions in 1950-51, but he decided against releasing it. It was not until many years later, in 1989, that the original song would get its first official release. The song was recorded by Bill Lister, who later gave the demo by Hank Williams to Hank's son.

I think you should’ve watched the actual Video, I think you would’ve had a better reaction, when Hank Sr jumps in!!!

Listening to this I got another song stuck in my head. Finally came to me. “Crying my heart out over you” by Ricky Skaggs. Both songs are great old country. Love it!

No honey his Dad died when Jr was too young. He was just a kid. This was very special to Hank Jr to be able to sing with his Dad. An experience he thought he'd never have. When he wasnt old enough to shave he was singing his Dad's songs and when he first went on the road his producers etc. had him only singing his Dad's songs. Like he was a Hank impersonator. He had to really buck the system to make his own music.

You need to check out Hank Williams albums he sang as Luke the Drifter. They are “ talking” songs, many of them just hilarious.

I would like to request "Weddin' Bells" by Hank Williams Sr.

you have got to check out Hardy - Signed, Sober you. such a amazing heartbreak song. the lyrics in this is AMAZING.

Hank died when Hank, Jr was just a toddler. It was a collaboration of a track and Hank, Jr. The track was a video. Try to find that one. It is interesting how real it looks.

I don't know if you knew but Hank jr. Started of singing his daddy's song!!! A recreation of his daddy's concerts!!!!

I'm glad you're exposing the younger crowd to good music. Why not throw in Webb Pierce and " There Stands the Glass " ? No, they never recorded together. It was all digitally blended.

It is more special if you watch the video :) It is more about Jr. singing with Sr. A tribute

They werent together they took clips from sr and edited them together,hank sr passed when jr was 3

Jr. was only 5 when his father died of alcohol poisioning

It was like the Natalie Cole video. This was a song that Hank sr wrote but never recorded

Hank did this before the Cole's song. Hank Sr died when Jr was 3 years old, so no they didn't do it together. Jr released a video of the two of them singing this when he did it. You should check it out (just for yourself). I assume having a video went a long way in choosing which song he released. Being that Hank Sr died in '52 (I think), there probably wasn't a whole lot of TV footage of him to choose from.

Hank died at 29, so there's no way they could sing together.

The video shows the two together.

No.. They never sang together.. Hank Sr died when Jr was 3 or something... Hank Sr passed away in the back seat of his caddy on route to a 1952-53 New years show... Passing away early morning of '53... He was 29 yrs old... Hank Jr always wanted to sing with his daddy, so when a band member found this song, he gave it to Jr and he overdubbed his vouce onto the track aling with the intrumentation and put out this song... There is a cool video that goes with this song that you need to check out.... There is also cd called 3 hanks where Hank Jr, Hank 3 do similar things with other songs with Hank Sr... Some of those songs can be found on youtube...

I might be stepping on hallowed ground here, but I’ll give my opinion. I could never get into Hank Sr.’s music. It’s just not my style and I can’t fall in love with it. However, I do understand a respect the kind of impact that he had on country music. Great reaction as always Don.
