Nick Shoulders - ‘Lovesick Blues’ - Hank Williams Cover
Музыка
WE’RE GOING TO WALMART FOLKS. haven’t dressed up for a show in SIX MONTHS, so even if I live in the Ozark Wild it was high time to get back in my party pants and sing this classic of the yodel canon. As a teenager I used to belt this song out so often that my English teacher accused me of having Tourette’s syndrome, rather than correctly identify it as “country music fever”. Hank recorded this beloved version in the 1950’s, but this was originally a song in a musical in 1922, recorded most famously back then by Emmet Miller, a blackface performer. Confronting this unfortunate motif in country music is important, and I like to think this fact shows us how far we’ve come, even if there’s plenty left to do.

You mean for this outfit, or for this cover?
When I win the Powerball, I'm buying an independent radio station here in Bowling Green, and I'm spinning vinyl from all these incredible independent artists that don't get mainstream radio attention. I will rule the airwaves and give Nashville's bullshit artists something to be fearful of. Now if I can just pick the right numbers..,....

Although Hank Williams made this song famous in the 1940s it's a cover already. The original is probably by blackface artist Emmet Miller who performed it in the 1920s

@@strings1586none of Emmett Miller's music uses derogatory slurs, anyways most that know country music before Hank, pretty much calls Jimmie Rodgers the father of country music but being a real honest it was really The Carter family and Roy Acuff the ultimately put country music on the map
I feel like I’m listening to black mountain radio in an alternate universe.
Gave it a thumbs up before even listening just on principle. You did not disappoint, my man. Thanks for keeping this amazingly unique genre of music alive and kickin’ ass!!

Probably the BEST cover of one of my favorite Ole Hank songs. In June I got to fulfill one of my lifetime dreams, I got to go to Montgomery, Alabama and visit the Hank Williams Museum and go to the cemetery and visit and pay respects to Hank’s grave.
Outdamnstanding.
Yodeling right alone with you. Have been doing it since i was a lil kid. My dad would always laugh at me.
What a cover wow. This guy kills everything he does. Love the Hank outfit too nice touch
Oh my dear heart. It makes me feel like a lil pup with my grandma again.
One of the best voices ive heard on this song. Your going to the Opry brother
Was waiting for a Hank cover! Love your yooooOoOooooooodel'n
I can't take my eyes off that old Subaru, and the song is so gorgeous
I’ve never heard anyone who could yodel like my gramps (an old cowboy from McDermott NV who chose a horse over a squad car while Sheriff-RIP, gramps) until now. Took me back to my childhood listening to him yodeling on the porch.
Ah my favorite modern country artist singing a song from my favorite old school country artist 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hank would be proud of that cover. Well Done.
Awesome as always brother 🤠👍 sending super 🦸 singing happiness from the UK always 🍃🏞️ have a wonderful day today
Nick, you done did it, you crafty rascal. I've been desperately searching for that alternative reality where I feel good about you and good about me. I do not deserve it but I am so pleased to find it. And this is not the first time you have been a portal to my happy thoughts.
It’s extremely hard for people to do a Hank Williams cover and it get noticed. All the older musicians I talk to hate when folks cover Sr. and then I send them Nick’s way and they love it. Def doing it justice, Neck shoulders, I mean Nick!
just realized your youtube name was Neck Shoulders....killing me man with both music and dad jokes haha
You actually see a Loki Variant singing here(Hank Tom) and a Mobius variant(the Light McQueen type car) in the background too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣LOKIUS!!!!!!!!🗡️🔥🤟💕...Well I must say, *in Owen Wilson's voice* WOOOWW! you got a lovely voice and guitar too!!!!!!

I visited Mr. Williams grave this past weekend and have been blasting Nick Shoulders all week. Great timing, friend. Really appreciate what you do, man. Love from down in ol' georgia.
For 2 minutes and 56 seconds you quelled my desire to bang my head against a wall.
Stop the gotdam presses! Two of my very favorite things combined, Nick Shoulders and Hank Sr. Bless you, sir.
Nice work!…and suit.
Top Money 💰!!! Brrrrrrh!! Ha ha ha 👍 I just watched Hank and then yourself ....loved em both. Enjoyed both equally, but with him gone, I'm a fan of yours now. 👍👍👍😁
Sometime back in the early 90s, I’m convinced some crazy scientist combined the DNA of slim Whitman, Jimmy Rogers and Hank Williams in a Petrie Jar. I’m glad he did.
one of my favorite covers of any song ever
Always stoked when im working in the shop and my guy here busts out a new yodel to work to
I used to blast this on cassette tape cleaning my apartment in c-bus🥹❤️ so awesome-much Love n many thanks❤️🙏🏻🌈
Fantastic!!! excellent. Totally awesome. I LOVED IT, LOVED IT!! You sing absurdly well👏👏👏👏👏
This just showed up in my feed and I clicked on it. Dude is absolutely fantastic!
The OG song was always on at the nursing home I worked at. Old people all piled around the radio, head rockin to the chorus. Don't care I love it to especially this cover of it.
Was just listening to a bunch of your music today and wondered when you'd be doing Lovesick blues. Amazing !
That was amazing my man, you can feel the love for the original oozing through it.
Another great one man, what a cover I could only imagine hank even being impressed with those vocals you put your own stamp on the songs too it's so fun to listen hope all is well peace
Once again, a smile is served with my morning coffee. Thanks Nick!
Nick, you just make the ol' heart happy! Good way to start 2021!
Excellent !!! Enjoyed every second
Absolutely loving these! 😻😻😻
I could listen to it all day!
Perfect!! Please release a whole album of Hank covers!!!
Great cover man. Sometimes there’s no better stage than just a pallet on the floor.
Been having one of them days and I’ll be damned if this wasn’t exactly what I needed to end the day. Thanks Nick
2 years now listing to your lovely music! Thank you for all the great memories with me friends now! ❤
Oh, I like this!
I can not ask more of this. My favorite song with my favorite folk singer. This is the heaven, I enjoyed it a lot ❤️
you are sincerely talented and underrated. loved your recent fb post about the core of what country music is.
So awesome!
Excellent! What a voice.
The warble at the very end was great! Awesome cover!
Wonderful love your sound, music and rhythm. Bravo from Texas
Hank came back to life
Cant believe I just found you yesterday. Hank Sr. and Hank III are some of my top music artists. Great cover but all your other songs are so great as well! Good job and I am telling everyone about you! Keep up the good work.
Smashed this song!!! AMAZING JOB!!
Mr. Shoulders! Love the Hank cover it fits you perfectly!
Amazing !!Cheers from Brazil !!
Man! great job on one of my favorite Hank Sr. songs! Had a greatest hits album by him back in 62 and at 13 really loved this LP and just plain wore it out ! Btw Deebs on that bike!!
Wow.... just wow.... man I need you on vinyl 👍
you're truly amazing dude! keep the country classics alive.
Great stuff - the trad ageing Subaru just added that special something, takes me back to the good old 1990's
One of my favorite Hank songs!
