A living legend who left us too soon. Love his music.
What an icon of old school country music Hank was. Lost too young. RIP 🌷
I love this beautiful grave yard.He died before my time but I love his singing
He was a great singer and musician.Thank you for showing us this
You are such a teacher! You fill the gap for younger generations to learn "obscure" history they will never learn in school. Thank you!
I remember him very well, good singer. That's what country music was all about. Country music sucks now 😭😭. Rest in peace 🙏
👍🥰👏👏👏. It is amazing how many songs he recorded. I'm fortunate that my best friend have me one of Hank William's Sr.records. that belonged to her parents. It's still in the Orginal Album cover sill has the plastic covering on it. They just opened it. The paper in which the album was in, is still inside with the album still inside. It hardly look like it was ever played. Not one scratch, and get this. The price is still on the plastic covering. I'm afraid to play it. I feel so Honored that she gave it to me. Sadly both her parents are gone and my Best friend passed in 2014 from a stroke. She gave me her parents country music collection. To me it's Treasure
I keep them in a zippered case, inside of a Box. Hank William's Sr. Is a Icon. Nobody has come close to his Voice. I see that they have made some changes, good changes since Ace and I was last there. I'M Happy to see his and Audrey's final Resting place is kept up. It shows how much they was loved. I'm sure Hank Jr and other family members make sure the flowers replaced and they visit often. Thank you Whittdoc. It looks Amazing. When we went it just felt so Peaceful and serene. Nobody since has done it like Hank. Though he died so young. His Legacy Lives on.🙏🕊🦋🌹🌹💐🌷🌻🌻✨🌠. Love,Respect and Positivity Always. Neita,Ace and Family.✌🖖👊💕🙂👋.
We have lost so many wonderful country singers. Thank you for bringing us the story of Hank Williams.
I remember my parents listing to his 🎶 music. Mom played his music allot.
I'm not a big fan of Hank's, but his influence on country music was huge.
Beautiful site!! Such a shame he was so young when he passed. We never know how long we will be on this Earth. He is truly a legend. Thanks, Chris, for sharing this with us. 🙂
Hank was not only a country music pioneer, he was a major influence on rock music. His music still holds up six decades later.
I love his music and his sons music they're my favorite singer
His life was short but he left his mark on country music his son is following in his father's footsteps rest in peace Hank
I actually had the privilege of visiting his grave recently as well, and I'm a big country music fan. It's a very impressive and beautiful monument, Hank Jr certainly created a grand tribute to his parents! Hank Sr also wrote and recorded the classic Gospel song "I Saw The Light," the lyrics of which are prominently displayed on he and Audrey's markers, and was also the title of a recent biopic of his life. It's a shame he could never kick his alcohol habit, which was probably the primary cause of his premature death. It's sad that his daughter never knew him, or even knew that he was her father until she was an adult.
Beautiful memorial
Use to always listen to Hank Williams while riding around with my grandpa in his old pickup truck.
I was blessed to be able to visit his grave. Very talented and died so very young. His son missed really knowing his dad but carried on the name with country music. Beautiful grave site!
Beautiful tribute, Chris, I really enjoyed hearing all about Hank. I did not grow up a country fan but when I did start listening to it Hank was still very popular on the stations. My husband was a big fan and I became a big fan, too. I always learn something new from your videos and this one was no different. Thanks Chris!
Been a fan since 1975 till now and still am
I’ve been there! It’s such an interesting gravesite. Alan Jackson shot a video there once “Midnight in Montgomery”.
I listen to Hank on Outlaw Country Pandora every Friday Night!!
My first wife and I went to Montgomery in 1992 and saw the gravesite. Pictures just don't do it justice. It's simply Awesome!
I heard that Hank Jr. paid a mint for that whole site.
So thank you for taking us there
Hi ! A very interesting vlog ! Beautiful memorial ! He passed very young ! His ex wife buried by his side is very unusual. Thanks for a great vlog ! Take care ! Deborah 🇨🇦
Roy Acuff my grandfather's cousin my mom was an Acuff I loved hank Williams I was a child when he passed cold cold heart my favorite
My wife and I was fortunate enough to go see the Williams family at this cemetery. I wish we would have more information to the burials on the side of Mr. and Mrs. Williams. I know there was an infant and some more Williams. Thank you for the video.
A beautiful soul gone to soon. Hank Williams was a living legend.
Thanks so much for sharing.
God Bless
Charleston, WV is a 45 minute drive from my area. I like how his son put up a marker not to desecrate his father's grave. And I just love the elaborate stones for him and his ex-wife. I'm glad you got to visit such an icon and share it with us.
Beautiful monument & interesting life story. A great country singer taken too soon. Great video👍
Definitely taken way too soon. 🕊️🙏❤️
What a beautiful cemetery and his resting place is gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing this legend's grave. He has a beautiful resting place
Enjoyed this one CHRIS, Hank senior , a pioneer of country music hope you doing OK 👌
Yes Hank Williams is a legend so thanks for sharing!
My favorite song of his is " I didn't know God made honky tonk angels"!
So Glad that you did a video on Hank Williams S.R. I grew up listening to his music. My grandpa was a huge fan. Hank's songs were just coming on the radio when he got out of the service. He always told me that he still remembered it coming on the radio announcing Hank's passing, he was working for Texaco at the time driving a fuel truck. I would always pick him up Hank Williams cd's for Christmas and his birthday. If you don't have it the 3 disc set Hank Williams The Unrealased Recordings is a must have for a Hank Williams S.R fan. I often wondered if it was even known by anyone that something was wrong with his heart?
thank you for sharing. stode on my father's feet and danced too Hank Williams.
I ALWAYS thought it ODD that Hank's EX-WIFE was buried next to him!!!! I guess she wanted to be "BURIED IN STYLE"!!!! That's the only sense I can make of it!!!! And I didn't realize Mr. Williams was that young when he passed!!!! I thought he was more like in his 40's!!!! Then again, he was before my time. Thanks Chris!!!! Always a "BANG UP JOB"!!!!
I wasn’t a big fan of Hank Williams but I did like one of his songs There’s a Tear in My Beer. It’s just catchy, as many of his songß were.
I live in the town where he died in, I love his music
First off, thank you for prominently mentioning Rufus Payne. He's often forgotten or only mentioned in passing and it's time we give that man his due as well. His grave location is unknown but he's buried in Lincoln Cemetery in Montgomery.
Icon is not the proper title for Hank. I'm not sure there is a proper title in the English language. His music sounds just as good today as it did then. Sadly he wouldn't be accepted in today's so-called "country" music scene.
I love hank Williams and thank you for doing that video
You do an excellent job of researching your subjects
All this time, I don't think I have ever seen his grave. Impressive! 💕
Not being mean but I was always surprised he was only 29. He looked so much older. Alcoholism is a cruel master...
Very nice tribute. Beautiful monument.
I thought he only had 1 song ,Your cheating Heart boy did I learn something. Thank you I learned alot about him from you.
I did not know Hank Williams Jr ❤️ a brother
Thanks for the tour
Thank you hank many people folloed you. X
Gone way too soon.
You are right, I did NOT realize Mr. Hank, was that young. I also did not know, that Dr. added that poison to the B12. Wonder if that was ever investigated. Sad for his family. I am going to watch this over. Thanks for posting.

RIP Hillbilly Shakespeare, Gone But Never Forgotten
A legend who was fired from the opry and side note hank also has spinabifida..great video
I love this video He was a legend 🎶🙏
I've been to Patry Cline grave it is nice and easy to find but when you go also visit her home ( not far from the cemetery) and also check out the bell tower near her grave it was dedicated to her by Dottie West. Also there is another country singer next to Patsy Cline but I font know who he is.
I was wondering if you have ever done a video on the grave of Mary Evelyn Ford? If not I would love to see you do one on her. She is known as the "Witch Girl of Pilot's Knob" at the cemetery in Marion, Kentucky. Many who have visited say her spirit is trapped in the gated grave she has and that it is very haunted.
Good efforts! Love from Pakistan
So very cool WD yaaayyy!!!
sweeeeetttttttt this whitt is from the bama. loved the photo with the gibson j45
Good video!

❤
Most of his accomplishments were released post-mortem
CAN YOU DO VISIT BOB WILLS GRAVE?
Hi
hank williams
R.I.P. 😥
Okay this was nice but I have a question how many people are buried there because it looks like two large headstones of two large monuments now people can buy whatever they want if they can afford it but if it's just two people buried there the cemetery shouldn't allow them to take up so much space now unless he got other family members there then I'll keep this hole in my head quiet but if it's just him and his ex-wife and that's another question why his ex-wife got to be there she was his ex evidently he fell out of love with her and your cameo I wasn't expecting that that caught me off guard I'll behave and won't say anything out of line about your cameo then again I don't have to cuz you already know how I feel about you Lumberjack 😍also you live in West Virginia you're closer too New York I thought you was in Tennessee or Texas somewhere wow 😁 you're only about 7 maybe 8 hours away from me as always no disrespect intended New York City USA 💛🧡❤🤍🖤🤎💜💙💚
Very nice tribute. Beautiful monument.
