  • Jennifur Sun from RamonaWas born almost two months after Hank died.
  • Adam from Clinton Township, MiThis songs sent chills down my spine as a boy. Now, I can't think of a more fitting tribute to Williams.
  • Henry O. Godwinn from Wheeling, WvAbout Hank Williams who was one of the best country singers around.
  • Jimmy from Goulds, NlI was doing a quiz and my result was all my rowdy friends are coming over by Hank Williams.Jr and was listening to this song,freaky
  • Farrah from Elon, NcLike many of you, this song gives me the chills. It's very spooky to say the least. It's a fitting tribute to a country music legend.
  • Jimmy from Austin, United StatesOn a TV program (perhaps on CMT, it was many years ago) they talked about the making of the video. They said that when they passed the camera across Hank's grave the image kept flickering. Apparently, he really did want to make his presence known.
  • Dana from Greenwood, ScThis songs gives me chillbumps every time I hear it.
  • Darrell from EugeneThe "Silver Eagle" in the song is a bus-conversion motorhome (similar to the Prevost or the Newell Coach), and such motorhomes are preferred by many celebrities. Personally, I prefer the 1975 Travco 320 that I had to sell in 1990 to pay for my quadruple bypass surgery, or just about any well-preserved or restored Travco.
  • Seagull from Athens, OhIt's Nudie suit (not nudi suit) as in Nudie Cohn.
  • Jessi from Central, ScTheres a rumor that this REALLY happen to Alan!
    & thats what inspired him to write "Midnight In Montgomery"
  • Ashley Jade from Cleveland, GaThis song scares the living hell out of me, I can barely listen to it even in the daytime. It gives me chills too
  • The Aaron from Nunyabidness, MoI'm not personally a big fan of country, but there's several I like, this song being in at least my top 5. This song gives me chills.
  • Stefanie from Rock Hill, ScWhen I first heard this song I could tell that it was about a guy who meets the ghost of Hank Williams. I'm not sure why. I guess it was because I had had prior knowledge of Hank Williams's life.
