Viral Kid Yodeler Mason Ramsey Takes The Stage At The CMA Awards

Kid Yodeler Mason Ramsey took the internet by storm when his performance of “Lovesick Blues” in the middle of a Walmart went viral. Taking the stage with Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood at the CMA Awards, Mason Ramsey adorably posed as Carrie’s son and sang his heart out. Affectionately called “Little Hank” for his striking vocal resemblance to country great Hank Williams, Mason Ramsey is quickly rising as a household name.

As with any Awards show, the CMA’s insert deliberately hokey scripts between sets. In this silly segway, Paisley jokingly announces that “Carrie’s first born son” is coming out to perform for the audience. Cue kid yodeler, Mason Ramsey dolled up in his traditional Hank Williams styled western shirt with tassels and 10-gallon hat. Singing a spoof about being a new big brother at Christmastime (no, he’s not Carrie’s son) to the tune of ‘Lovesick Blues’, Mason easily stole the show!

“I’ve got the big brother blues, oh Lawdy, used to be an only child, and now I don’t know what to dooooo….And all those presents underneath the tree, now they ain’t all for me!”

Playing along well with seasoned performers, Paisley and Underwood, “Lil’ Hank” kept up quite nicely. This kid definitely has a unique star power about him! Even famous child star Brenda Lee has something to say about Mason!

“Mason is very talented, and seems very comfortable with his new fame and loving what he does,” says Brenda Lee, one of the first-ever country music child stars who, like Mason, recorded Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya.” She too was 11 at the time, in 1956.

We hope to see more of the kid yodeler and that he continues loving music and singing out those classic country tunes we all know and love!
