When Hank Williams steps up and sings My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It, you can feel the whole crowd grin. Only Hank could sing about something falling apart and make it feel like a good story to tell your friends. This song is not about buckets at all, it is about being down on your luck but keeping your chin up anyway, it is about finding a way to laugh when life keeps leaking away like water through a hole.
This performance is classic Hank. His voice has that twang that makes you feel like you are sitting on an old porch with a guitar in your lap and your best buddy beside you. He plays it loose and free, as if he’s not worried about how it ends. You can hear the swing in the band behind him that keeps your foot tapping even if the words make you shake your head and think you’ve been there too.
