Hank Williams Jr was born one month before his legendary father made his first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. His father nicknamed him 'Bocephus' after a ventriloquist dummy, and he was only three when his father died in 1952.
He made his debut on the Opry at 11 and by the time he was 14 was in the studio recording his debut album. His rendition of Long Gone Lonesome Blues became a hit and all eyes were on the artist, constantly looking for shades of his father's genius.
Williams has had more than his share of peaks and troughs. and when he sings A Country Boy Can Survive, there's an authority in his voice, because he's done just that. Loud, proud, and politically in your face, Hank Williams Jr has lived up to his father's legacy and carved out a corner of country music to call his very own.
