sr is on eof the biggest influence in country

Most of us country boys are raised and molded around this song. Fishing, hunting, farming etc.... "Yes ma'am and Yes sir" is a way of life in Tennessee. We take care of our own and always open the door for a woman. Country boys are tougher than shoe leather.

Country people can be your best friend but don't mess with us we are many and we look out for one another.

If you've ever watched Monday Night Football, you heard Hank.

Hank Williams Sr is a rabbit hole all on to its self. Hank Williams Jr has been doing concerts since he was a small boy. Hank Williams III is another one that is doing music is own way.

Growing up in a largely rural area where it's just like this song. It was my high school's unofficial theme song. In the parking lot, every other pick-up truck had a gun rack with at least one gun and the first day of deer hunting was an accepted excuse. Hank, Jr.'s daddy was Hank Williams, Sr. one of the greatest country music singer/songwriters and icon of all time.

And we never had a school shooting

His dad is the most influential figure in the genre. Which is saying something, considering how short his career was. He died in 1953 at the age of 29, when Hank Jr was 3 years old. Hank Williams Sr.'s music is featured in a lot of movies, like Forrest Gump and Shawshank Redemption. His music is even featured in the huge game title called The Last of Us. Hank Williams Sr was like Elvis before Elvis. Not in style, but in superstar gravitas and charisma. There's only a couple of raw video performances of him that exist.

Hank Williams, Senior passed away at 29, and yet he gave us some great Western songs like: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", so please enjoy this man's good ol' Daddy's songs as well! 😢🎵😁 Thanks!🙏

On August 8, 1975, Williams was nearly killed while mountain climbing in southwestern Montana. While climbing Ajax Peak on the continental divide (Idaho border) west of Jackson, the snow beneath Williams collapsed and he fell almost 500 feet (150 m) onto rock, causing multiple severe skull and facial fractures. His face struck a boulder on the way down, fracturing his skull in a number of places. His nose, teeth and jaw were broken to pieces, his eye was hanging out of the socket, and a fracture in his skull had even left his brain exposed. The first two people Hank Jr. saw when he woke in the hospital was none other than his godmother, June Carter Cash and her husband Johnny Cash. Hank Jr. would go on to endure nine more surgeries to repair the damage to his head and face. We’re talking plates, skin grafts, the whole nine yards. To cover the scars and permanent disfiguration, Hank grew out his beard, started wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat… and Hank Williams Jr.’s signature look was born.

Whiskey bent and hell bound.

Hank Jr. could give rock bands tips on how to put on a show.

The best Concert I ever went to was in my Hometown of Wilmington.NC. It was during the 1983 Azalea Festival and Alabama who was a up and coming group was the opening act for Hank Williams Jr. I was 19 years old and I was working as Student Security at UNCW. I was also in the National Guard and i was about a foot or so from the stage. Both Alabama and Hank Williams Jr would go on to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Please react to Hank William Jr song Family Tradition, He mentions his Dad and him singing different type Music. Hank Williams Sr when he was playing at the Grand Ole Oprea would take Hank Williams Jr with him. Their was a ventriloquist Doll named Bocephus and Hank Williams Jr looked like him so he was nicknamed by his Dad Bocephus.

There's an 8 minute compilation of all of his TV performances that you can watch on YT, labeled "Hank Williams-Kate Smith Shows March & April 1952" uploaded by Earl Martin. He wrote all of the songs he performed. June Carter (Johnny Cash's future wife) is featured in there as she introduces Hank Sr and her sister Anita Carter doing a duet. Those performances were about 8 & 9 months before he unexpectedly passed.. He passed on the night of New Years 1953 at the age of 29, while riding to a show in the back of his Cadillac.

Hank Sr. is the gold standard in country music and anyone will tell you so. Hank Jr. is one talented man who can play any instrument and does rock as good as he does country. He has won several country music awards for artist of the year and takes sh#t from no one. Liberty you should dive into more country music , I think you will really enjoy it, you seem like a country girl at heart...

Hank Sr., just like his son, was an absolute animal. He was actually fired from the Opry because of his antics. That doesn't make him any less of a legend. Tear in my Beer is probably my favorite of his. There are lots of Hank Sr songs that you'd enjoy. Hank Jr is no slouch when it comes to hits. This is a great double barreled rabbit hole to jump into head first.

I love how you realized you were a country folk! haha. And I believe you can survive! Love your dog!

I just discovered you young lady. It's so good to see the younger generation discovering the music we grew up with. This is the unofficial anthem of small town America. Yes we still grow gardens, fish, hunt and can and freeze our own food. The market is a place to get what we or our neighbors don't already have on hand. A lot of us are retired and left the city for a quiet life of community and basic values, which were being lost in the city. Many of us were raised by parents of what's known as the greatest generation that grew up during the great depression and world war two. We still refer too others as Sir and Ma'am because that's how we were raised. We watch out for and help each other. The scariest thing someone can say to us is, I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

You know we love our country girls

Hank is a LEGEND!

Hank III 3 carries on the family Traditions 🤠✌️❤️

Your dog was doing some serious chilling!

Hank Williams Junior inherited a lot of his famous father's issues . Hank Junior climbed a mountain and fell a long way down , nearly to his death . His facial and eye injuries lead to him wearing sunglasses for the rest of his life . Even after his injuries he successfully continued to perform musically and pursuit outdoor activities like hunting and fishing .

You absolutely ROCK! Good Luck and God Bless.

Hank Sr. was very influential in country music. Hank Jr. or as we call him Bocephus started off young and doing his daddies songs after Sr. passed. In the 80s Bocephus found his footing with his style of music.....worthwhile rabbit hole on both

The Conversation by Hank Williams Jr and Waylon Jennings

I grew up on bocephus, I'm 44, "women i've never had" or " my name is bocephus" are probably my faves

Love hank jr one my favorite country singers hes a very talented man can play many instruments

Charlie Daniels band, Devil went down to Georgia. Great reaction! Thanks!

Great reaction Howdy from East Tennessee...............

You may have heard Hank Jr. without realizing it, although it has been a minute since he did the intro. "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?" 😂😂😂 That's a "cover" of his tune "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight." Later in his career, he bemoaned the fact that "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down." 😂😂😂 I'm not a country music fan by any stretch, but grew up with my folks listening to his daddy (Hank Sr.), so I've been familiar with the works of these two gentlemen my whole life. I actually saw Hank Jr. in 1991. Great entertainer. Played every instrument that was on that stage that night. Knew how to write a good country song, too. Check out "Family Tradition." It's about the old-timers that knew his daddy and Jr's contemporaries giving him shit because his music don't sound like daddy's, among other things. Nothing but respect for Jr. as a musician.

I was raised just north of Denver Colorado. But my family owned property in the Rocky Mountains. So we spent our summers up there. So I relate to this song and he gave us a shout out too. We started out roughing it up there, then got trailers. But us kids still loved tenting it down in the aspen groves. We built a big house for everybody.. we had it framed and were working as a family dry walling and building the rest together. Until my grandmother got cancer for the third time. My uncle had to move for his job and after she died they sold the property. Our family all went our own ways. This happened when I was 13. But all I ever knew until then was the summers up there.

Hank Williams Sr. Is probably the most beloved Old school country singer by current country singers 😊

You should watch the video, "There's a Tear in my Beer" where special effects allowed Jr. to sing with Sr. - who was already dead. Very clever.

Family traditions is a great Hank Jr song. Beautiful fur baby also

Hank Jr. grew up in the shadow of his father's career. Big shoes to fill. Hank senior was so popular that when he died people wanted Jr. To take his father's place and sing his old songs that everyone loved. But Jr. knew he had to make it on his own. It kind of addresses this on his song Family Tradition. Give that song a listen. I think you will like it. And check out Hank Williams Sr. Truly an icon of early country music.

Hank Williams the third Is also worth checking out!

Hank Williams Jr dad was a country music singer who die young

Hank Williams Jr has so many great songs we could list. But here's two that I wish reactors would finally do of his: • Blues Man • All in Alabama Some background about Hank Jr that will help you understand the second song: He was raised in the music business to be the spitting image of his father. And once he got into adulthood, he kinda started having an identity crisis and wanted to start going his own way. But he was highly criticized for it, and called crazy. During that time, he went hunting for big ram sheep in Montana. He was hiking on top of a mountain with a friend and his young boy. At which point the ground gave way and Hank tumbled down the mountain 500ft and landed face first into a boulder. It crushed his face, knocked out his eye, and exposed his brain. The little boy had to stay there and talk to him and keep him conscious while his friend went and got help, which came hours later. Hank awoke a few days later in the hospital with Johnny and June Cash at his bedside. From that point on, Hank Jr has always worn a beard, sunglasses, and a hat to cover up his scars.. There is an old interview where be removes his sunglasses to show the scar around his eye. It's noticeable, but doesn't look too bad.

Hank Williams Sr is considered by most to be the father of Country music. He was for sure it's first huge star. Bocephus (Hank Jr.) is 100% American Country bad ass. He's bigger than life itself. Lost his dad as just a kid, grew under the shadow of his dad. Fought his own demons, was almost killed in the mountains and lost his daughter a few years ago. The man is still standin' and loved and respected by anything country and alot beyond . Dudes a legend.

The whole dynamic of Hank Williams Sr. and Hank Williams Jr. is very interesting. Senior was, despite his early death, a huge influence on country music. He has the "twangy" sound a lot of people associate with country music. Junior was only about three when his daddy died. He showed talent young and was raised and pushed to sound just like his dad. But like a lot of young people, he rebelled. He became part of what became known as "outlaw country" because it was in your face, and incorporated a lot of outside influences like rock and blues. He got a LOT of pushback from people in the industry that thought he was rejecting his dad's legacy. In addition to his musical influence, Senior was known for his issues with substance abuse. He had severe scoliosis and chronic pain. His alcohol and painkiller use contributed to his death at the age of 29. Junior had his own problems with substances. He also had a climbing accident that nearly killed him. The injuries to his face are why you always see him with a beard, hat, and sunglasses. Two songs that confront the expectations that the music industry had for him, his struggle to be his own man in the shadow of his father, and his struggle with the same demons are "Family Tradition" and "The Conversation" (with Waylon Jennings, another "outlaw"). These hit themes a lot of people relate to. True, most of us don't have a country music legend as a parent, but most of us struggle with the expectations our family and friends have for us, our own dreams, and a lot of time a family history of mental health or addiction problems that we have to work through. I think you'll like them. It helps to know the history to understand the songs, though. Even in his "party" song, "All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight", at the end of the music video, a ghostly Cadillac flies through the air and Junior salutes it - it is a tribute to the father he doesn't remember, a legendary party animal in his own right.

Nice reaction.

Hi Liberty. You are a Sweetheart! "Country Boy Can Survive" is an iconic song. One of the most requested songs in Country Music History. I'd like to see you react to some of my favorite Country artists of the past. The legendary Crystal Gayle. Vastly underrated talents like Lari White, Holly Dunn, Kelly Willis, James House, Deborah Allen, Radney Foster and Marty Brown among others. With Lari I'd start with her duet that she Co-wrote with Travis Tritt "Helping Me Get Over You" from 1997. The video has over 30 million views on KZread. Also check out "Don't Go Home Again (Flies On The Butter), "Wishes" and Stepping Stone". "That's My Baby", "Now I Know" "That's How You Know", and "Lead Me Not" are kind of her signatures, but she had many other great songs. An awesome duet with a guy named Esera Tuaolo called "Another Broken Heart" the video to which has way to few views and comments on KZread . It should have Millions of views, and only has around 30,000. Lari was tremendous songwriter and musician, with a phenomenal voice. A couple of my favorites song's of Lari's are the little known "If I'm Not Already Crazy" and Ghost Of A Chance". I think your love the Jaunty "Wild At Heart". She was an amazing live performer. Sadly, Lari died of Cancer in January of 2018, just after completing a new album project. She was just 52. I'm desperately trying to get her noticed by the younger generation. The same with all the other artists I mentioned.

Most people have done things like this in our lives

Hank III is also a musician

Research the Hank Williams name to take a deep dive into one of the greatest family legacies in Country music. Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, June Carter Cash (a rising star in Country music before she married Johnny), Red Solvine (probably miss-spelled the name), Dolly Parton, Loreta Lynn, and many others led the rise of Country Music. May I suggest you check out Chapel Heart, Gregin Wilson, and many others in the modern version of Country Music. God bless and be safe out there.
