Dressed in his country best, Ramsey taps his foot to keep time while singing Hank Williams Sr.'s "Lovesick Blues" and "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)." The serenade took place in Harrisburg, Ill., where surely shoppers around the store could hear Ramsey thanks to his impeccable clarity and projection.

But this isn't the first time Ramsey sang in a Walmart. Video of him creating his own stage became locally popular on Facebook earlier this year, leading BEAVER 100.3 FM to invite the boy to their studio to perform a couple of songs while playing his full-sized guitar.
