Every Hank song reminds us of Mom but this song is the one that is felt so deep in the heart . Shortly after she passed this song, no kidding came on the radio. My jaw hit the floor... NO WAY I haven't heard it for decades. I havent stopped crying Im both sad and happy because I know Mom requested this song so I would know she's still here.

There were other country singers such as Lefty Frizzle who were self destructive . The bluegrass singers Carter Stanley and Keith Whitley followed a similar path .

We will never know but I have serious questions about it. If he was going to quit that meant a lot of money lost for many people. Money is a root of all evil...next to Audrey

As a kid born in the early sixties ( 1961 ) I grew up listening to this and the old school country, I have flash backs to my childhood every time I hear these songs, better times. I have these on the original vinyl albums and wouldn't sell them for any amount. Gold !

I was born just up the road from where Hank Williams was born in South Alabama. Hank Williams still has a big influence here. Interstate 65 that runs through Butler county was designated as the Hank Williams Lost Highway by the state of Alabama sometime back. I recently met a gentleman and his wife from Great Britain that were passing through here not too long ago heading up to Montgomery to visit Hank Williams grave. He told me that he grew up hearing Hank Williams music and his dad and his Grandfather were huge Hank Williams fans. Strange how a man that died at the age of 29, right at 70 years ago, still has such a huge fan base, with music that people can relate to, that was written mostly by himself. Hank left this world way too early. But, he left a mark that will NEVER be forgotten or go away.

Like me, he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome, I could cry The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome, I could cry That's a good one It's a lonesome song, ain't it?

My husband was a professional musician he played guitar. He died last month. He loved this song so much he would play and sing it for me. I believe he thought the last verse was one of the most beautiful ever written. I never thought it would be my destiny to sit alone and cry but that's my fate. For now I keeping looking for that falling star.

Hello David, I'm getting a bit stronger every day. I still have some that I can't believe he's gone. I'm trying to be positive but it's hard. They're having a celebration for Robert in December at a club that still hosts live bands. They've gotten the most popular radio DJ to host it. There are going to be 4 bands that Robert was in. Each one will be doing the music that they wrote and recorded. They are trying to get as many of the original members as possible to perform. In between each set they'll be showing videos of other projects he was involved in. He was with Mitch Ryder for 19 years while still pursuing his own music. He was considered one of the best lead guitarists to come out of Detroit. As I now have all of the memorabilia and photos, I've been going through 50 years of his life. I get sad but I realize he had an incredible life. More importantly he had fun. I'm glad I got to be with such an amazing man for 27 years. He was not only talented, but gifted. He played with Chuck Berry when he was 17. He went on to tour the world. He loved sharing his music with everyone, he taught guitar for many years. One of his students has gone on to reach the level of stardom that most musicians dream of. I'll be ok, thanks for asking.

@@marvintownsend9174 Thank You for asking. I'm going through hundreds of photos and memorabilia from a 50 year career. He didn't throw anything away but didn't file everything. I found dozens of videos and recordings. He was a far bigger " star " than I realized. We hooked up in the last half of his life. As I look through the items I realize how humble he was but he knew he was blessed with a gift. When Mitch Ryder would open for a huge band many of the musicians would steal a glance at the opening band. Mitch can still sing his butt off. He always had a talented backing band but Robert stood out. Inevitably he would be approached by the headliner's band and became friends with most. He would jam with many. I could list them but it would take too long. A couple you probably know are SRV, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Earle, Doyle Bramhall, Suzi Quatro, Kid Rock, Don Was, and on and on. I don't know why I'm telling you this. I guess it's because he didn't brag about it. I wish I could talk to him about some of his experiences. As fun as that all sounds it's not what I miss. I miss the man who was my best friend. I had the first birthday without him last month. In 2 days I'm facing the first Thanksgiving alone. I know Christmas will be rough as well. My life goes on for some reason. Maybe it's to share his memories with the people who attend the celebration of his life next month. I have to keep pushing ahead and organize the items I will share with his fans and friends. I just need to stop thinking about things like asking him if we need butter at the market. I'm half now and it's hard.

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly. The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry. I've never seen a night so long When time goes crawling by.

its conciseness of words filled w/ such density is the sign of a poet. absolutely nothing wasted & allows the listener to feel in blanks. I think frost when I hear this, but i get where you're going w/ van gogh... it is strong, but imo some american artist have reached the same type of heights. several of dylans & cash's best (who both were strongly influenced by hank) reach the same areas. ive often thought hendrix in wind cries mary also gets close to this. van morrison. or the doors, crystal ship..... one thing id assume we'd agree on, i hope more young people dig into hanks stuff. hes a great influence to listen to if one is trying to create quality.

The Hillbilly Shakespeare could melt the coldest heart with his lyrical brilliance. The genius of being a master song writer is having the ability to tug at the heart strings..nobody did it better than Hank Williams..

I love Hank Williams. I'm an Englishwoman living in UK 🇬🇧 Midlands. My dad used to play Hank's records from late 50's so grew up listening to this great country singer poet. American Country music wasn't so big in U.K. back then but we listened to it all the time. Many of the old greats. God Bless you Hank for your special kind of Country Music. Makes think of my late dad. I am now 75 and long for my childhood and youth. So happy with my mom and dad. Thank you Hank for being part of my memories. Such beautiful,, haunting songs! 👌❤️👏🙏🏻🇬🇧🤗Xxx
