Hank Thompson - Wild Side of Life download song

Had to listen to some real country music to get my head right after watching the ACM Show tonight. Comparing Jason Aldean to Hank Williams ? Give me a break

This is one of these old songs that you hear and it sticks in your mind forever. I hum it and sing it to myself all the time. It gets stuck in your mind. A really good Country Song! 

I agree that this version is the all-time best.

i love this song, just amazing!!!! hank rest in peace!!! 

One of the greatest C&W singers that ever lived.

Certain songs are done for lasting forever.

Gosh Hank was sure a great entertainer. Smart man too, because he went to Yale. Can't remember the the name of bar in Fort Worth where I met him a few times. I heard he had his funeral there. Anybody know the place I'm talking about? His band was better than the band of Bob Wills by quite a bit-The Brazos Valley Boys. Best country band in Nation for 14 or 15 years. Thanks for putting this up.

nice,those backing ladies can really hit the high notes

Hank sang and talked Waco singing and talking. He couldn't help it. He was born in Waco. My senior year in college, he came to Austin College in Sherman for a fraternity dance.  After the dance he invited me to fly home to Waco from Sherman on his plane.  You know I didn't say no.  I had to hitch-hike back to Sherman on Sunday sice I left my car in Sherman.  Years later, when he knew he was dying, he did a farewell show in Waco.  I was there. He and I visited for a short while about that bumpy flight.  What a good and decent man; what a musician.  They don't make'em like Hank Thompson anymore.  I am going to see that there is a memorial statue of Hank down by the Brazos River in Waco.  If we can ever get a performing arts center and music hall built in Waco, I'm gonna fight to see it is named after Hank..or at least one of the venues in the center has Hank's name on it...

Of all the Hanks, [Williams, Snow, Penny, Garland, etc., This is the genuine article. his enunciation and style is unique and will never grow old.I Like them all but Hank Thompson is the epitome of country music

Been humming these song for at least 65 years.

Opinion noted and posted. For me, however, once this beautiful version came out, I never wanted to hear it done any other way.

Just one of The greatest Country Singles of All-time as had been done by Hank Thompson just a classic single

This is the song that gave birth to the modern female country music movement. Enter the late great Kitty Wells to save the day.

we need more of the old country singers,, Kitty wells Told him when she sand IT was not God who made honty tonk angles

In 20 years time people will not even remember Justin Bieber an his like. However Hank Thompson and those like him will always be remembered for great singers they were.

90th BIRTH ANNIVERSARY TODAY!!! HANK THOMPSON (September 3, 1925 – November 6, 2007) He was an American country music entertainer whose career spanned seven decades.

One if not the best songs period!

I know Hank was from Waco as we were friends since 1969. Hank's last performance was on October 8, 2007, in his birthplace of Waco. A mutual friend said that he passed at his home in Keller (a suburb of Fort Worth) on November 6th. Hank requested that no funeral be held, but on November 14, a "celebration of life," took place at Billy Bob's Texas, a Fort Worth nightclub. There was a traditional military graveside ceremony for Hank on the day of his burial at Waco Memorial Park, Waco, Texas.
