Hank Williams, Jr. - "A Country Boy Can Survive" was released in 1981
Yah this is 42 years old
I WAS going to say it might be older than Black Pegasus
The video still looks so fresh...it's probably hard to tell with a first viewing
Song was released in 1981 the video was released in the 2000s
The year I was born and I love this song
This came out in the 80’s and he sang are you ready for some football!? WTF!? That’s crazy!! 🤯 I didn’t know that was him 🔥
I was just giggling. I was like how did you never watch MNF lol
Citizen soldier reason to live is an amazing music and think I think that you and your subscribers will enjoy it
If you think this sounds prophetic then you should listen to his song "Mr. Lincoln". It's not about politics it's about how unbelievably ridiculous America can be.
Oh, and I don't know if you bother with Kid Rock, but when he mentions "Hank" in his songs this is who he's talking about.
I was in the Army deployed with Pershing II nuclear missiles in West Germany (1981-1984) and when we would go into the barracks every night this song would be rockin' in at least one room.
No. It was uploaded to youtube 11yrs ago. The song is over 40yrs old! This is truly the American anthem.
YES!!
I’m 62 and I needed to hear your reaction right now. Your generation may have a chance if there are more like you.
This song is like 40 years old. Just goes to show nothing ever changes.
It's the more things change the more they stay the same .
Yeah I remember listening to it 30 years ago and it's wasn't new then.
There are no new problems just new people causing the same problems.
Quit talking and let the music play. Everybody knows the song except for you.
Only think changing is our GOV is ruining our lives, they think they are in charge of us, and they are taxing us to death.
Dude. Family Tradition and Whiskey Bent and Hellbound are just as epic as Country Boy Can Survive. Hank Jr. is known as one of the outlaws of country music, him and Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Paycheck, and Johnny Cash, to name a few. Some of the best country music came out of those guys in the 70s and 80s.
Waylon is my ❤
How can you forget Merle? Unlike some of the other outlaws he actually has an extensive rap sheet, even did time in San Quentin, he was there when Johnny Cash played there and it changed his life forever. I think just based on what BP said in this video he'd really like "The Fightin' Side of Me" which is about standing up for America.
@@emerje0 yeah. My bad. I love the Pancho and Lefty album he did with Willie!
@@Lynds77"I think I'm gonna kill myself" by waylon is the first emo song
Don't forget red white and pinkslip blues by his alter ego bo cefus lol...and you gotta give his daddy props as well hank Sr. Song hey good looking and I'm so lonesome I could cry...he's was one of the God fathers of country! Along with Charlie pride, and others. Waltons family is massive...you got Brianna harness which is his grand daughter and struggle jennings and Wray jennings are phenomenal as well
"you don't want the government to give you shit because then you owe the government" ----truer words have never been spoke
Amen!!!🙏🙏🙏
Hank is known for writing timeless truths. He is a living Legend. ✨️
We're all country boys..no colors...just freedom and self resilience. You're awesome dude. Appreciate you
Amen
in the Marines, we are green and dark green only...........
💯💕
Exactly brother
Yes, man! We are all country boys.
Hank Sr was 29 when he passed away Jan 1, 1953. He had a mild form of spina bifida and he self medicated with alcohol and drugs. Hank Jr. was 3 years old. Name on his guitar, Bocephus is the nickname his father gave him. Back story on the beard and glasses, he was hiking up a mountain and fell 500 ft hitting his face. Took surgeons multiple surgeries and 2 years of rehab, they thought he'd never sing again. He wears glasses and beard to hide the scars. Check out Family Tradition it tells the story.
I remember there being a movie about him, maybe a television movie, not sure, I saw it decades ago. Don't know if it's 100% true or not, but it tells about all that as well.
@@marcatkinson4149 You're correct. I saw that movie of his life story long ago. It's called "Living Proof".
@@marcatkinson4149is it not the song “All in Alabama” that’s talks about his fall from Ajax mountain
@@marcatkinson4149 100% True.. 525 feet fall.. and hit a boulder face first .. and as we all know.. He survived
Great reaction and I enjoy your commentary. Sub’d
The one thing these younger generations have shunned are the older generations who did grow up the way us country folk have. We have so much knowledge about everything Hank talks about. Us country folk can and will survive.
Kudos to your openmindedness about this. Its great!
We are Americans... lest we FORGET.
2024 and all that is happening determines our fate if we don't stand together and demand ACCOUNTABILITY.
Love you ALL!!❤
I grew up as a Montana farm girl. I’m 56. This song meant a lot in 1981 and the message holds true today. Country folk DO survive!!
I remember seeing the tour boss just outside Columbia Falls . It would have been about the same time as the fall.
Now try” all my rowdy friends”
@@blakekeithley3400 I know this one well, too. Gotta love Bocephus!!
yep, '59 MI. same here.
53, born and raised out in the woods of MD. Family from WV for ages on.
I rock the RWID, Redneck Woman In Disguise ( a friend coined that in about 87.)
I can work my on grid self employed job just fine.
If we get to a bad place I'll survive. My Grammie and Daddy taught me everything I'd ever need to know to do that.
I was at a friend's house a month ago for party for the kids. They set up a s'mores making area with all the this and that's and this HUGE expensive grated firepit the size of my bathtub, it had gas lines. (Thats all cool, really)
The gas wasn't working and out of 25 adults only myself and one other were capable of building a fire, let alone a sustainable member one for s'mores. Just damn! We all had lighters, so not even a challenge?
How can you be in your 20s or older and just not know how to build a fire????
Anyway. Glad I watched this and your reaction.
All good and peace. ❤😊❤
The song is timeless, because all of history repeats itself. It will forever be an anthem to those who won’t give in and take it.
We’ve seen this shit before and we still ain’t buying it.
This isn't history repeating itself. Something started a long long time ago ... its just been slowly intensifying and raging on as silently as possible so as not to attract too much attention. You span certain ideals people aren't too keen to the idea of over generations, many will just take it as the norm. Or what they now call 'the new norm'. The New World is here .. but its been here for a while. Stop letting them divide us.
@@C0ldIron
There is no 'we' for you.
There is just you.
Mark Twain once said "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes"
Very profound statement...
Well said
Pretty sure Hank Jr is in his 70's now and still jamming with the best. Both he and his father Hank Sr are legendary singers
Hank Williams Jr, lives on the outskirts of Paris, TN. I live close to where he lives. Even though he is famous, he lives a simple life. He always took his son and daughter to school and always participated in their school activities. He lost his father, Hank Williams Sr, when he was very young. He recently lost his only daughter Katherine in a car crash, (she was driving and her new husband was in the passenger seat, he survived) this devastated him!! She left 2 small children. Not too long after his only daughters death, Hank lost his wife. He is an avid hunter and fisherman, right now he is a broken man!! The deaths of his only daughter and wife took it's toll on him. He has a son, that has his own band and his grand children (by his daughter). Sometimes if you go by his house and he is outside, you can walk up to the wooden fence and he has been known to come up to the fence and talk to you. He doesn't act like he's any different than you and I. I truly wish you would play his song: "All My Rowdy Friends have Settled Down"!! You could also check out his Father, Hank Williams Sr. He had a lot of hits in his day. I think when all this turmoil the Worlds going through today, Hank is going to get the surprise of his life. Let's just say. There is someone he thought died along time ago, that is actually alive! (Witness Protection). Hank Williams,, Jr has been through Hell and back, but he has and will survive!! WWG1WGA
This song is 42+ years old and sounds better than most of the music out today. Thank you for giving Hank play time.
Hank is on tour right now
Why do people always say things like it’s better than today? Why can’t people appreciate good music in 1981 and now. There are tons of songs as good or better.
Cause what is being sold as “country music” in 2023 sucks!
@@jameshaynes6992the crap they call country today is pure trash
I think this song is talking about the Jimmy Carter era. Things got pretty bad back then to. Gas lines, inflation ect. I was laid off from the foundry and ended up joining the navy for a paycheck.
Agreed 💯
This song came out in 1981 and very quickly became an anthem for the entire country culture
Check out David Allen Cohe(hope I spelled cohe right)
David Allan Coe@@user-td7pf3mb5u
Hank Jr is the real deal. He sings about his life. I've spoken with him on the phone several times. He loves living in the woods, hunting, playing music and drinking whiskey!😉
Love Hank Jr. My cousin lived right down the road from him for many years. He came by one time when I was maybe 6 or 7 yrs old and I was so shy but I loved him so I ran out, shook his hand, and ran back inside! Loved your review of this song! I grew up on this music and lifestyle!
That man can also play any instrument in the world, and play it like a master. Not to mention in his youth, he fell 500ft off the side of a mountain and survived. 💯 badass
Facts
And he shoots lightning out his eyes and firebolts out his arse!
Truth ❤
@@Spicoli1Bilek truth...Ajax mntn Montana. Two yr recovery with multiple surgeries. Including several skull and facial.
I remember that. 🖖🏻🇨🇦
It was true more than 40 years ago, and true today.
I am 54 now.....12 year old country boy when it hit the radio. And my friends and I called this "the anthem". We lived it, and it shaped our lives. Damn proud of it, too
I have never had a hunting or fishing lic in my life, have never hunted in hunting season, and have never been caught, and mexico has great seeds and over five thousand different types of corn, a vet, and a bad ass shot with rifle, pistol and shot gun, and smooth with cold steel iam the person people like miss Clinton knows not to say boo to! God bless ya all.
Don't you mean 44 not 54 years old?...I can do math
And it only could've hit the radio no sooner than 38 years ago.
I know the exact day this song came out I’m 59 everybody was rocking to Hank Williams Junior, but I’ll let you guys do your own research I seen him live I don’t know how many times a man can play every instrument out there. His daddy was a legend, and so is Junior, Mr. Bocephus if you want to hear a really good song, look up that one they call me Bocephus!!! God bless America.
Ne too bro!
Everything Hank Jr. Writes is all the things he has done. All his songs are true to his life.
Hank Jr IS BOCEPHUS !! ❤❤❤ Loved your response to "I Believe" Brooks & Dunn. As well.
I'm 72 years old and grew up on a farm in the country.. I love Country Music and I played in a Country Music Band since I was 15 years old.. One thing our Country Dads taught is How to Survive !! We raised and hunted and fished, grew everything we needed to eat. Relied on no one. But we shared with any one who needed it. Everyone was welcome at our house.
Born and raised in the country and still do at the age of 60 .. live 25 miles from any towns in 3 directions! I'm a Gma I can pew pew, fish grow, preserve and cook, split wood etc !! Country women Will survive....
Jr. Is The Man😊
A lot of the young people just don't understand
@@flowerchild6641Amen sister
Right there with you
How do you know a song is truly timeless. When it still speaks to people and is still applicable more than 40 years after it was released!
Hank Williams Jr, was never expected to supercede his famous singer , songwriter father but he did. Just because you are proud to be from the south, doesn't mean you are a racist. I was raised by a racist family, but chose to not be like them, you either learn to be like them or hate what they represent. I have had a lot of family issues, because my children were the first to marry outside their race. My grandbabies are mixed, F anyone who doesn't like it. Teach them their the best of both.
Yes Ma'am! Absolutely!
I have mixed twin granddaughters. It really means you are proud of the area you are from. Really do some digging in to his daddy SENIOR. You truly will see the apple don't fall from the tree.
Its America!... doesn't matter what Skin colour!..🤺🤺🇺🇸🇺🇸💕.
"The American flag represents us all." AMEN!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Got dam right it does...
Read a history book. It should but doesn't.
Very ignorant and sound like YOU need to learn history. Sad you ate so brainwashed
PREACH!!!🇺🇸
Every one of us. Blindly.
I was raised in a small town in Lytle, Texas just 20 miles south of San Antonio and we are considered the country and Im still here so a country boy can survive. 🤠
From this country boy in Wyoming, I can see you're one of us at heart. Any time you want to head up and hang out, you're more than welcome.
This song and Copperhead Road. Two favorites of this country girl.
Yesss....
love love LOVE Steve Earle!!
Don't promote Copperhead Road. That's shit country. Lol
I've never heard Copperhead Road, so I checked it out from your comment. Terrific song!
If u never heard better listen then u know whats good. 😊
Dude, just came across this. That's an anthem us county people hold to.
My "black" wife and my "white" self have been building our homestead in the country. We can and will survive anything that wall street or a lame gov can do.
Thanks for your commentary bro. Shalom.
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 AMEN!!!
I would say 9o % of the usa can stand on there own two feet and that is what scares the hell out of the government
BLESS YOU
Keep going brother!
This country needs more people like y'all! ❤️
It's amazing watching you discover this. ❤ I'm 67 from Nashville.
So Super Stoked to see that you came across this. I'm in my late 60s and have listened to Hank for YEARS. Also so happy that you aren't offended by the Stars and Bars Southern Flag. We LOVE IT not as a sign of Racism, but as a sign of our Southern Heritage and Values of Independence, Morals and Caring for our Fellow Man no matter what Race You are. My MAIN Flag is STILL the 50 Star United States Flag, but I still respect my Southern Heritage. I have much RESPECT for ANYBODY as long as they extend the same courtesy to me. You, my man deserve respect for your mature acceptance of other people's views. Some people these days think that anyone that doesn't espouse their views are Racist. I may not support some things but I can respect other people's RIGHT to live their lives on their terms (ex: I'm not Gay but if that's the way some people want to play ... that's their life). I Subscribed to your channel.
Hank Williams Jr. once fell off a mountain here in Montana. He fell 500ft down the mountain and broken a lot of his body....in his early 20's. He still recovered and became a music legend just like his father. Country boys very much can survive.
Bingo Pal 😊
Great read he is an overcomer just like country folks are.
His head split open. His friend and his friend’s son was with him. His friend left to get help while his son stayed and held his skull together with his hands. He could see brain.
The scars are so bad that Hank wears the hat, sunglasses and full beard at all times.
Sounds like something a city boy would do… at least he’s not a shitty land owner like all the new out of staters moving here to the Bitteroot
@@oldirtyshinobi420 riiiiiiiight. Whatever you say, doobie mcpotbreath.
Thank you for your contribution to society. You are making sure that couch in your mom’s home doesn’t float away.
Hank Jr. is literally a LEGEND of Country music and my father was a big fan of his Dad. Hank Jr. was also the face of Monday Night Football for so many years with his “are you ready for some football” opening music track and then was pushed out because he says things that are against the establishment/NWO.
All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight
@@GenX-Grampa If only he had changed the lyrics to all my commie friends are coming over tonight ESPN would still have him
My mom is 81. Runs her own bakery. Born in a cabin in the country in Oklahoma. We will survive.
I grew up in the country on a dirt road. I still live in the country I will not leave it on my own free will. I love the woods, the trees, the crickets and all the animals. I have my two dogs and four cats. We’re happy with our country life. No you don’t talk too much, this is a REACTION channel. Keep up the great videos. Love you and keep safe.
I got a stye in my eye living in the country alo g dirt roads and my Grandpa said to me, "You been missing in them dirt roads again huh!!" So til I got older I thought pissing in dirt roads caused stye in the eye 😆 🤣 😂 He knew I'd be pissing on those dirt roads.
Before I watch the reaction....any country boys from the south like me will tell you.....this is our anthem and it always will be. Literally this song is universally loved by all country people . I even have black freinds that go crazy for this song when it gets played. We all still love rap music and everything else too but I'm js
Bingo Pal 😊
Swamp to ahitty city you got it
@Aftershock1268 actually I do live in the swamps of Florida lol my Florida is not beaches and Disney World. It's dirt roads and Gators
@@sigsour2266Hah! So, the good part of Florida!🎉
Raised on the Hatchie River in West Tennessee my Southern Brother. Moonshine Central. Grew up in the woods. 62 years old now and I wouldn't want to live in the woods now but I can. I fly the Southern Cross. It is maybe the most beautiful Flag ever created. Proud of my Ancestors South and the North that fought in The War Of Northern Aggression. I had three Ancestors fight at Shiloh and many other Engagements. Two for the South and one from the North. I have my Federal Ancestors release from the Federal Army after the war. If they would display it at Shiloh National Battlefield I would donate it because it is great condition. It is kept in a dark closet. My Federal Ancestor moved South to Marry my Great, Great Grandmother from Arkansas after the war.
Being from Texas, I was raised on this song! My grandparents were from Mexico but raised us on a farm with the same survival skills and principles as county folks. That's why I find this song so relatable, and I love it! ❤
It's also disappointing to see that this song came out in the early 80s, and NOTHING has changed!! This song still applies to the world we are living in today. 😢
“Raised us with the same survival skills and principles as country folk”. ….no man, they raised you with those things because they were country folk too. Country folk come in all shade#k because being from the country ain’t got a damn thing to do with race. It has to do with independence, individualism, not being afraid of hard work, and not relying on anyone for anything. I’m from Texas too, and I’ve hung with, ridden with, worked with, shed blood with, and stood arm in arm with country folks that were Mexican and black and everything in between, drunk as hell singing along to this song in somebody’s pasture, or their daddy’s deer lease, or on some power line clearing or dead end road many nights, and we all knew we were the same.
@@invictusbp1prop143 Thanks for saying this!
It’s about to get worse though.
@@invictusbp1prop143God bless country folks
Yes. Exactly my dad's music that was a Trucker, but said he hated Mexicans
No honey, I was a teenager when this came out. I’m 57. We wore this tape (yes tape) out cruising around town! Love Hank Jr and Sr!
I'm 38. Born and raised in Bama. We grow up on Hank. Glad you found him. And this is my first time seeing you and I'm following.
I grew up in west virginia and I love the line he says about us
Sorry for ya being from Bama
Bro, Hank been sangin way before 11 years. Love how open minded you are. Peace.
My favorite “ Black Pegasus”!
Yes, it’s up to Americans to vote for our survival!
Dude, it came out 43 years ago. Grew up knowing this song and it's premise. And a country boy WILL survive.
Hank Williams JR is close friends with Kid Rock. Williams jokingly calls Rock his “rebel son.” When Rock first met his hero Williams, he introduced himself by saying, “I know more of your songs than you do.” They’ve even done a few awesome music collaborations together.
As for his father Hank Williams SR., he became one of the biggest stars in country music - paving the way for those who followed, and a hero to many big names in the country music industry. Hank Williams SR. was known for his relationships with African-American blues singers - most importantly street musician Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne, who was significant in his musical development. Williams was a young white musician in the Jim Crow south. As a teenager, Williams used play his guitar on the street or on the front porch with Tee Tot. The older singer taught him to play blues guitar and got Williams interested in blues rhythms and phrasing, which would become central to his specific style of country music. He is regarded as one of the most significant and influential American singers and songwriters of the 20th century, and is known as "the Father of Country and Western Music"
They're both in Gretchen Wilson's Redneck Woman along with a bunch of other cameos it's awesome.
he's also friends with Aaron lewis from stained he also has a song called country boy
Very cool
And Kid Rock is great friends with Yelawolf. Full circle.
Love Sr Honkey Tonk and his alter ego luke
The song captures the essence of the rural lifestyle and the indomitable spirit of a true country boy. It speaks to the challenges faced by those living in rural areas and their ability to persevere through adversity. Hank Williams Jr. narrates the story of a man who is self-reliant, resourceful, and unaffected by the luxuries of the modern world. It is an ode to the resilience, toughness, and pride of rural America.The lyrics also touch upon the importance of family and community. The close-knit relationships and mutual support in rural areas play a significant role in a country boy’s ability to overcome challenges. The song celebrates the values of hard work, determination, and loyalty that are ingrained in the fabric of rural America.
Amen!!!
And we thank Jesus for everything we do get... we dont take it for granted.😅 Blessings ❤❤❤
I live in the Midwest and it’s the same here. We can survive.
@@lisabain4012"We're from North California and south Alabam and little towns all around this land."
North Carolines…..but anyone could be country. Being from here doesn’t make you country, just southern.
Being raised in the country, this song definitely tells the truth! We are raised to live off the land and survive first and foremost. We didn't really freak out during 2020 out here in the country. It was what it was, and we just continued doing our thing. 😉
Great reaction!💙
This song is over 40 years old. Danced many times to this. Family Tradition, Whiskey Bent and Hell are songs by Hank Jr.
Hank Williams, Sr. is a country music legend. And Junior had to carve his own niche in the tradition. Great song!
Don't forget about Hank the 3rd
hank sr was he part of the highway men with willy and johny cash
Hank Williams senior is awesome.
@what8586 nope Hank sr. Predates all of them. He died at 27 in 1953 new years day.
And now Hank the third is keeping it going. The record he did "with" his dad and grandad was amazing. And he's dipped his toes into metal, which is just amazing. Hellbilly Joker is one of my favorite records of all time.
Just a 57-year old business owner from Ohio that appreciates your reaction to this song - this song always gets me...
Love that song. Listen to Hank Williams III some songs are nasty
Hank williams jr.’s father was a legendary musician
discovering new music and enjoying the universal language..............YES Sir!!!
I can't believe some people never heard of Hank Jr. HE IS awesome!!
For Real
I'm 43 and never heard the lyrics before. Grew up with EDM and hip hop. This song hits hard. I feel like everyone can relate. Lived in an apartment next to an old black guy who had a rebel flag who tried to explain this stuff to me but back then, 10 years ago, I just didn't get it. Crazy how much my attitudes changed. Much happier now.
Gonna make my son listen to it...
It's that culture, suppressed
This song was released 42 years ago. August 1981.....And the lyrics still hold true today....
❤❤❤❤
Hank is a second-generation country star known across the world for his Intro to Monday Night Football! It was a play off of his song all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight!
This song is over 40 years old. There was Hank Sr. , we still have Hank Jr and Hank the III
His father served up magic in musical form. You should listen to "I'm so lonesome I could cry". One of his daddy's best.
That's no lie, amazing how many great songs Hank Sr. had. Equally amazing how Hank Jr. Got out from under that huge shadow of Sr. And became a legend himself even though it almost killed him.
That's my favorite Hank Sr. song. I also like his song Tear in My Beer.
@@chrisfrey9488they managed to dub Jr in with Sr on that one.
Hank Williams, Sr. was one of the greatest of his era. Waylon Jennings has a song titled "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way", singing about the changes in Nashville between Hank's time and his. Outlaw country has always been my favorite: Willie, Waylon, Bocephus, Coe, Paycheck, Prine...So much for you to check out waiting to be discovered. And this song was released in 1981.
Your facial expression when the song talked about his losing friend his life was so real, like you understood his pain. Hank Jr would be touched by your reaction. 2020 woke many people up about why country people do what they do. God bless you and yours.
BTW, if you want to learn how to survive another 2020, come on down to Hamilton, Alabama and our good ole boys both black and white, will show you the ropes. Warning though, you will get dirty! LOL
Paycheck that's on spot. Take this job and shove it
This was my first time checking out your reactions ! I will be checking some more of your stuff ! Im glad that you didn't do research , it makes it authentic !
Grew up in NW Pa in the mountains. Spent my youth doing these things. Spent my life in service to others. Army, police, corrections, I can still do most of this at 67.
Kudos to you and your parents!! The lot of you seem to have produced a fine man! I'm an old, deep south, white woman... This is a young, black man... We have way more in common than our overlords would have us believe. A common love for God, family and country, will form ties that CAN'T and WON'T be broken!! Much love brother!!
Much love Sister. ❤
racist when you have to make it about color you racist there is only one race Human.
I'm a 59 year old born and raised in Texas. Still live here in a small town in the country and I agree with you 100%.
I'm so glad your maturing and is waking up. Country music tells it all. We tell the truth. I don't listen to anything else.
You can go to any bonfire party in Kentucky and you'll hear this and everyone singing along. I listened to hip-hop and metal back in highschool 20 years ago and still knew every word to this song
Heck, hear this at the local dinner eating biscuits and gravy with the family.
Kentucky here !! Everyone's invited
As a fellow Kentuckian, I can vouch for this, lol
Yep
Holy shit thats me as well.
Thank you for your support of the American flag!
I remember buying this album when I was 12 years old in 1982. Hank Jr and his dad are legends.
hank 3 is amazing to
Yes gen x 🎸🤟🕊️
going to be 50 years old next year
I always loved how Hank Jr was able to take a corny line like "we say grace, and we say 'ma'am'" and make it defiant, confrontational, and in-your-face, like a dare.
This came out longer than 11 years ago. I am 53 and it was hot song on the country radio when I was in high school.
Being one of the country boys he’s singing about… I’m exactly that, have been a Hank fan since birth, I’m blown away by your open mind and attitude, thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions about my culture I have total respect for a guy like you, hit me up, I’ll take you to the real grocery store. We’ll pick up some fresh meat, produce and fish.. in live in the deep woods by lake Tenkiller Oklahoma in the foothills of the Ozark mountains right on the lower Illinois river, bring your boots and optimism 😊
Growing up in the south, this is one of those "everyone knows it by heart" songs and it very much expresses how we feel and how we are raised from a early age . Thank you for covering (AKA) brother Bocephus . This was released in early 80s
I agree growing up in the south myself this was a regular on any station 81'
This and all my rowdy friends have settled down lol, I fucking love it!
Ain't just about folks from the south....I'm from Pennsylvania and we definitely got that hillbilly pride here too
I love it when someone who hates country music actually listens to some good country. It's much more than the story being told. The passion you here in the voice tells so much more than the words.
I don't think Black P hates country whatsoever.
He said he likes it now in beginning of video
well most new country music give actually good country music a bad name
Oh yeah.. Hank Sr and Jr are legends.. Hank Williams III will be even though he took more the ‘rockabilly’ route.. all great musicians.. this Iowa boy can survive 🤘🏻
This song is 42 years old.
"'Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
'Cause we're them old boys raised on shotguns
We say grace, and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn"

This iconic song speaks the same message of self reliance, strength and independence as his father did 40 years ago.
Hank Williams was one of the founding members of what is known as Country Music. This is his son, who sang all of his dad's songs as a younger man, but stepped out and away from that traditioinal line to forge an identity of his own. Hank Jr.'s sons have also moved in their own directions, just as their forefathers would have supported.
Hank Jr. "Family tradition "
His dad Hank died at 29 years old from drug/alcohol poisoning. Listen to the David Allan Coe song “The Ride”! DAC has some great songs. You should do “If That Ain’t Country”.
I think you mean "commercial" country music. The roots of country music belongs with the Hill People (of any race) since the beginning of this Great Nation.
@@longwhitemane If you think about it, country music, be it "commercial" or not, was, and still is, people singing about life (usually theirs) and is subject to the same evolution as we all are. "Traditional" country music still belongs to those living a simpler life, but songs telling the stories of life evolve right along with the people that write them. Hank Sr. wrote about his life and events in his life and Hank Jr. did the same. The songwriters write stuff with sounds that they grew up with, which is why newer stuff started to sound like classic rock music, then you would see some rap, etc. in the newer music. It changes with the times, just like we do.
@@MrBobNLinda Well said.
😃 Please excuse me, but my family were Hill People and I'm a little over zealous sometimes. ❤️
As a Florida swamp boy I’m glad you found this. Bocephus sings about southern folks standing strong. You’re welcome in the dirty south brother
Been doing a deep dive on your videos and I don’t know why anyone would complain about you stopping songs to talk about them or the issues/stories…that is the whole point of watching a reaction video, to hear what someone else wants to share about it. Love what you’ve been doing.
After listening to your reaction/take to this song that was actually released 43 YEARS AGO, I have the utmost respect for you! keep doin what you are doin!
Keeping it simple. For those who grew up in church, Hank Williams wrote the song "I Saw The Light".
Want that song sung at my funeral! AMEN❤
Anyone else pick up on “Miss Audrey” barge? His momma was affectionately referred to Miss Audrey. Love it!
Hank Sr. Packed 5 lifetimes into 29 years. Watch Hank Jr movie of his life he has survived what would kill mortal men.
He is a true Patriot, I remember when this song came out, God bless the country boy
Hank is the real deal! Man fell from a cliff and still living, hunting, fishing and singing! Saw his son perform last year and he was very good and looked and sounded more like Hank Sr. I was born in 79 and Bocephus was my first favorite artist and still a favorite. He was a rebel in Country Music and often didn’t get the recognition from others in the genre. Or at least that’s how I see it.
Amen!
He fell off Ajax Mountain over 500 feet it took the rescue team over 4 1/2 hours to reach him his eye balls were handing out of the sockets he had 17 surgery's. That is way he has the beard and wears shades all the time
1:46
Not even Ajax mountain could stop him 💪🏻
God Bless you brother.we are all Americans.Stay open minded and real.Im a Country Boy for life.Keep up The great content!
His father was also a famous musician from alabama. Ive been to his grave about 45 minutes from me.
The older you get, the more you can relate to country music.
I feel this hard.
I've sat next to Hank getting a haircut, delivered coffee to his office. And watched him sing when he opened his club 3 miles from my house. I've got drunk with him and his crew back in 81. Hank is America. I think he has been awarded country music entertainer of the year 7 times and won a couple Grammys. You must have lived in a vaccume for 40 years.
Randomly stumbled across this video. Wasn't expecting the host to be so unfathomably based. Hell yea, brother. We all need a bit of country boy in today's world.
I'm 44 now getting old I rocked this song at 7 years old with my dad going fishing on weekends...and his friend in New York is a true story that really happened
This came out 40 plus years ago!! Glad you’re exploring this avenue. Great music
I grew up in the South my entire life and the Rebel Flag never stood for any kind of racism from the people I was around. And I was around young and old. It stood similar to what this song stands for, being a rebel, carving your own path and being your own person. The flag literally represents the human spirit no matter what background you're from. It's just sad some politicians decided to make that an issue to divide people and claim that it represents racism or whatever they're claiming.
The Rebel Flag was only the battle flag of a few companies. Gen Lee never approved it and refused to fly it and told his family not to use it at his funeral. But to me it does not represent racism
@@roxannefinklea1302It was also the flag of MS until not long ago.
Amen to that brother
Exactly 👍🏼
This is a timeless song. Still true after 40 years.
Keep on talking brother! I will never complain about intelligent commentary on great music
I love his dad‘s music also! He was just known as Hank Williams.
This song was released in the early eighties, the mark of a classic song is that it has the ability to remain current.
Im glad to see young folks getting into each others music. Music touches the soul of so many people we need to share it.
Loved it I'm a country boy from the Missouri Ozarks I can't add to anything you said your spot on 😮
Man bro you got a lot to listen to his father was a country music folk singer God hundreds of great songs between the two of them I'm a 57-year-old man from Michigan raised in the south moved to Michigan because of the Auto industry watch the video comment on family tradition Hank Williams Jr family tradition you're just scratching the surface into your country path God bless you and your walk down country roads John Denver
"He's just telling a story" probably the best definition of real country music.
