Your right. A lot of people don’t this little factoid but DIAMOND DARRELL (DIMEBAG) and Vince’s dad was a country music artist and their roots are in country. You can hear a lot of it when you listen to their older stuff and cowboys from hell
A fabulous song ! Power and long life to all our Choc-Taw brothers and sisters ! I heard about this song from a beautiful part Choc-Taw woman who can ride bare back ! Missin' you immensely, lovely lady !
My grandsons name is Elijah,and I play this song for him when he comes over.He just learned to walk,but he’ll start dancing to this song every time I play it.I think he’s thinking Hank Jr. is saying “Elijah” wooo. 😇
Kowaliga was a prosperous city of Copper Colored People. Their city was flooded out and sits at the bottom of Lake Martin. This song is made possible because people of color were mistreated. The city was reduced down to a wooden statue that now sits inside a restaurant.
@@thomthorne7306 When you say “copper colored” people, are you referring to Native Americans,or who?My husband has family that lives on Lake Martin.His family is from Alabama.I have never heard about the city at the bottom of the lake.Thank you.I will have to study up on that. 🐘 🐘 🐘
Actually I think his father would be damn proud. It's NOT traditional country, however standing in his fathers shadow couldn't have been easy, always being Hank's son instead of his own musical brilliance being recognized. Instead of taking the free ride doing nothing but covers he made his own legacy. And when he does cover he gives it new breath. But what do I know?
keep in mind todays so called country is more like pop country. You listen to todays country and listen to a pop song from the 1980s and it sounds exactly the same
I took my cousin to see Hank Jr in 1982 here in memphis at the Coliseum because she loved his music and had never been to a live concert. We got the full entertainment package:a guy getting arrested for scalping tickets,a guy getting arrested for fighting the police when they told him to take his whiskey out of his boot, and "Lord Almighty,Doug,what is that smell and why is this guy handing me a lit cigarette to pass on?" I think the best part was Rockin' Randall Hank ending the show with Kaw Liga and shooting his 30-30 into the audience(hopefully) loaded with blanks.
Oh the memories I have with you dad! Driving hauling fat cattle in the semi and you’d sing this song! We loved it! You sung it so good and funny! Always trying to get us kids to sing with yah. You could hear us in the semi across the way!! Waiting to unload! I miss you dad very much 😔

I guess you could say that, the Sony was written about an Indian totem pole by a store, that was there in the town he grew up in, until someone bought the totem pole and the Indian statue was never seen by him again
Meaning.....let someone know how you feel or lose them forever and of course appreciate a good woman or man when you have a good woman or man in your life.
I saw Hank twice in concert. Once when he was drunk, once when he was sober. 2 different shows, same awesome music. Drunk he was more energetic and social with the crowd. Sober he played longer. Win, win. I saw David Allan Coe twice. 1 time at a small venue which was amazing. Then I saw him at a larger venue and he stopped playing, and if you know Coe, you know why. Once the "issue" was fixed he played again and truly put on a show.
Im 11 and well ty to my dad, i was introduced to this whole section of country legends (waylon jennings, hank jr, johnny cash, willie nelson, merle haggered, and david allan coe!!) ty u dad!
When I was 12 or 13 I use to go and deliver papers with my sisters bf dustin. We would cruise around Palatka and San Mateo, down back dirt roads, from 12am to 6am, and that is the first time that I fell in love with Hank Williams Jr. With the highest tweeters you've ever heard in a 90's model hard body Nissan with brass eagels on it. Still can feel this song deep in my soul. He told me a ghost story about San Mateo Dirt Rd. next to a cemetary about a motorcyclist that died on that road and sometines you can see his light and you know whats crazy we actually seen it one night ran straight through us while this song played in the background. One memory I won't ever forget and I have been hooked on Hank ever since!!! Good ole days in 2000 2001 times were so much more slower and better than. Keep the Hank tradition alive. The South'll Rise Again!!!
when im on a road trip and this song comes on. i crank it up to eleven and push the pedal to 90. whenever i get pulled over and they ask "son, why were you speeding?" "Kaw Liga was on ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
😂🤣😂 I hear ya! I was supposed to be Brandy. Somehow I wound up with an Arabic name. I’m 4th generation Irish-American on one side and 3rd generation German-American on the other.

he really couldn't give a damn about what anyone thought. He made his daddy's song HIS way. Try to tell him you don't like it and then watch him not care what you think. Back to the music. :)
2021 n i just heard this song for the first time !!! Sad I know . But it is being playing over n over now along with a lot of other Hank jr songs ! Love his voice gritty n real ! They don’t make music like this anymore !

Country music when it was still country
Anen
Oops amen!!
u damn right!
Gifford Old Chief h
I think it’s country rock but i dont know
The best country music I grew up with,the new country can't even come close to Hank,Jr.!!!
Facts
My parents went to see Hank Sr. at Wills Point in Sacramento, Ca. while on a break my Dad went to the bar to get a drink and low and behold Hank Senior was sitting at the bar and bought my Dad a drink.
Yeah. Sure
I was an 80’s hair metal guy and got introduced to this Hank Jr. album in 1984 and have been a huge fan ever since. It totally opened my mind to and showed me country rocks too.
Opened my eyes and mind up as well
Your right. A lot of people don’t this little factoid but DIAMOND DARRELL (DIMEBAG) and Vince’s dad was a country music artist and their roots are in country. You can hear a lot of it when you listen to their older stuff and cowboys from hell
please don't let classic country die!
especially hank n hank jr
Hank III is keeping it alive
@@ricklepick5134 amen brother. Love that he sings like his grandpa
It won't!😉
25 and still playing it at bars🤟🏻🤟🏻 fell in love with outlaw country. David Allen, hank, Waylon🤟🏻🤟🏻
A fabulous song ! Power and long life to all our Choc-Taw brothers and sisters ! I heard about this song from a beautiful part Choc-Taw woman who can ride bare back ! Missin' you immensely, lovely lady !
Hank Williams Jr. You did it justice, man ! Loved this version and arrangement !
His father was a hard man to live up to, but Jr puts a nice touch on this, and is a fine damn singer.
IamsTokiWartooth I agree
That's an understatement
Not a fan of hank the 3rd... but I respect his daddy's voice....
Hank 3! He’s got that Williams sound man!
im not sure he was hard to live up to. he died young of drug overdose. he was a good country music singer but that was about it.
this was how I was raised Thanks to My daddy❤🎉
his Favorite album he left to me I cherish ❤
Singing along with my 2 and a half year old daughter before bed right ❤
Right now*
My step pops used to sing this to me cause my names Elijah. It still brings me to tears bc I'll never get to hear him sing it again.
He's still singing it bro, you'll get to hear him again one day.
He's just practicing for when you guys get to hang out again.
I sing it to my daughter Eliza
My condolences.
My grandsons name is Elijah,and I play this song for him when he comes over.He just learned to walk,but he’ll start dancing to this song every time I play it.I think he’s thinking Hank Jr. is saying “Elijah” wooo. 😇

@@jsteel3095 when I say Copper Colored People I'm referring to a people that today would be classified as "black".
Jr just electrified his daddy’s songs just like move it on over and got another generation loving it all hail bocephus
Hank Williams Jr. Is a NATIONAL TREASURE !!!!
Probably the best drums in country music.

I love his dad's music and will always love it. But I think your right, dad would love this version
Jrs got his own way. gotta respect that.
keep in mind todays so called country is more like pop country. You listen to todays country and listen to a pop song from the 1980s and it sounds exactly the same
Country Rock > Country Music. In fact, anything with rock in it > no rock.
Well I think u nailed it on the head

Very true. At 38 I'm starting to see all the things I could have done earlier in my life that would have paid off so much for me by now.

You’re 32 now
My barrel horses name is Kaw-Liga☺️
How old is he
Quit it
Absolutely fabulous.
If that ain't country,I'll kiss your a$$.
I love this!
Sure wish they still played real country like this on the radio
It was an honor to see this man perform live. Dream come true.
Jay Love AND! hang overs hurt more than they used to!! Never knew what he meant until I got old.
Jay Love if you ever heard a BIG MF screaming Rammer Jammer at a hank concert, solid bet it was me👍🏼😎
He lives in the same city as me In Paris,TN
Yes it's awesome
I’m 47 and I’ve been listening to classic country, esp Hank Jr since I was 10 years old, maybe even younger than that lol
Hank Jr. - You did it justice !!! Loved it ! Pride of the Choc-taws ! You're a hero man !
You know who did it first, don't you? His daddy!
When I was 12 or 13 I use to go and deliver papers with my sisters bf dustin. We would cruise around Palatka and San Mateo, down back dirt roads, from 12am to 6am, and that is the first time that I fell in love with Hank Williams Jr. With the highest tweeters you've ever heard in a 90's model hard body Nissan with brass eagels on it.

The South'll Rise Again!!!
Did a horse routine to this song and “Indian Outlaw.” The theme was cowboys and Indians. One of favorite routines we did.
When I yell for my nephew to get his attention I say it like this. His names Elijah, close enough.
He put his own spin on one of his daddy's songs, so what. They both sound good as shit, could listen to both for hours.
I remember hearing this version when I was little and the part where he says Kaw Liga I remembered it very distinctively
I heard this song back when I was like 7. It was my favorite. I was looking for this song for so many years. Finally found it :)
This is an interesting song that tells a story, most country songs today don't tell stories. This is my favorite song of his.
2019 ... Everything country music should still be ..:-(
I think this is my favorite variation of kaw-liga ever made, though I like em all
I cant listen to the other one........its that 'KAW LIGAAAAAaaaa oooooooooo" that does it for me
Agreed
when im on a road trip and this song comes on. i crank it up to eleven and push the pedal to 90. whenever i get pulled over and they ask "son, why were you speeding?" "Kaw Liga was on ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
I had to read this one out loud to my boyfriend....oooooooooooooooo
Saw ya when I was a kid, I forgot how much my Dad loved signing this song. You sound like him. Thanks for the memory.
Got to see this legend in concert over the weekend, was not disappointed
My mom was gonna name me kawliga bc of this song. And somehow I ended up with “steven” 😐
😂🤣😂 I hear ya! I was supposed to be Brandy. Somehow I wound up with an Arabic name. I’m 4th generation Irish-American on one side and 3rd generation German-American on the other.
This was my Dad's favorite song. He has passed away but I still listen to it a lot
just jamming to some damn good music with my 10yr. old baby girl. thank god she loves good music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 years old next gen of country

Man I wish I lived in the 80’s
i love classic county and classic rock!

I heart Hank! 🦾🧌🐦⬛🌳
You rocked this song out Hank!!!
My father used to play this version. I loved it
IMO this is a better version than his daddies. But his daddy's has a uniqueness to it and I appreciate it as well.
I think Hank Sr. wrote this song.
I'm 14 years old and I love this song
Russell Chapman

@X X calm down kid he is just saying because most kids his age just listen to sh*t so good on him

If it ain't got a piano, steel guitar or a fiddle, it ain't real country music to me. This is some real country music!
The talent in Hank Williams bloodline is unbelievable!!!!
That song never gets old!
this song went to #12 on the country charts in 1980!!!

I'm 13 and a huge Hank Jr fan, go back on tour and come to Kentucky Hank.
Kentucky boys whoo!
Why when you hear Hank playing you want give it a little more gas and get a little more sideways
everytime! haha best there is
damn right jed vanpelt
You haven’t really been sideways until you’ve been sideways listening to Hank Jr.
Amen to that
Jed VanPelt makes u want to get rowdy as well!
this song brings back a lot of good memories back in my teenager years!
Hot damn a lil bit of hank for the afternoon hell yeah
While I will always like his dad, as my dad was a fan I love Juniors version of this tune. Its a badass version
Love them Williams boys

I grew up with my father listening to Hank Jr and I always thought he was saying "cause I just"
Say hwhat
The 1st version I heard was Charley Pride's (early 1970) and I thought he was saying "Kalijer."

Heard this on one of those TV Playhouse CZcams Poops about eight years ago and am so glad to heart it again!
A tie between this and Charlie Pride for the best version. Hank 3 tries too hard to be a clone of his grandpa..kudos to Hank JR for being his own man.
You ever heard kaw liga by hank sr?
It's 2021 y'all don't let this song get cancelled

Used to love seeing this man every Sunday and Monday nights...
I played this on repete while she was was my newlywed , lasted 22 months :)
It might be sacrilege to say it but I think this is much better then the original.
I like this version as much as his old one.
Hank Williams Jr. is the Godfather of Countryrock!
When I was a little kid I would listen to your music all the time i mean all the time
Omg love this song and love this man!

Hard to say which one I like best. Charley Pride's version was the 1st one I remember. It came out in early 1970, if memory serves right.
