Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hank Willaims?

One of the good ones.

Thoughts?

I like his songs, he died way too young.

Yes

Did you just sharpen a pencil all over your screen?

Relevancy?

JR is much better.

Hank Willaims????
Never heard of him...🤣

Clean your monitor you fucking slob.

The earliest recollection I have of Hank was back in the mid 1960's. I would've been 5 or 6 years old. My dad would sing along to Hank's songs when they came on the radio. There was always an AM radio in the farm shop and barn playing the country oldies.

My dad passed in February 2022. A fond memory of my dad was him singing Hank's songs.

I would respectfully disagree, especially when taken in the context of their times. Old Hank was instrumental in laying the foundation for an entire genre in which many (including his son) found success by jumping on board. Jr was alright, but artistically not the equal of his father or even outstanding among his contemporaries.

Had lunch a few years ago in a little diner outside of Oak Hill Wva . Same diner Hank was found dead in the back seat of his car by his driver en route to a show. Diner food wasn't memorable, beer and a couple hot dogs. Cool stop none the less.

100%

Hank was the best of the pure country western singers.............period.

Lovesick Blues by Hank was #1 for 16 weeks on Billboard's country music charts. In his biography it was said that when Hank would play Lovesick Blues at the Louisiana Hayride the women would throw their panties up on the stage when he'd yodel.

When the song writer's hall of fame was created, by song writers themselves, one of the first inductees was Hank Sr. Now it is rare in song writing that a song is written about a song writer that then goes gold or platinum, this is one of those rare events.

I’ve never seen the genius.

Overrated.

Spent several summers on Kowliga Beach. Sr. Absolute legend.

He related to Montel Williams?

Single-handedly changed music forever.

I have a couple of Hanks records that were my Parents, I still spin them once in awhile, brings back alot memories.
I like JR alot too!.
