Hank Jr didn't write it, but he dous do a very good version of "Come & go blues". Greg Allman wrote it & has his own version of the song. Both are similar, both are great. Otherwise some great Hank Jr songs are "Mr Weatherman", "The American way", "Ain't been able", & "Mr Lincoln " are just a few. I dont know if he wrote each of them but they are all his songs. They are all great.

Hanks biggest battle in life was everyone expecting him to be just like his dad. As he was maturing he wanted to start doing things with music in his own way, and a lot of people turned their back on him for it. I think he found a great balance of his dad and himself eventually and he became his own legend. No artist ever had me as star struck as Bocephus as he walked on stage and had a living legend look and vibe to him as he owned the stage and audience. Saw him 6 times so far.

@@AppalachianRedRoots What?? What's your source? Lol Hank Williams Jr wrote and recorded it first in 1980. Even one of the first lines "But my name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone," which is a clear reference to Hank Williams Sr, is evidence that Hank Jr wrote and recorded it first. George Jones didn't record his version until 2005. That's a quarter of a century later. Hell, even Alan Jackson recorded it before George Jones. "Real country boy here"?.. Not after that claim. Your "country boy" card has been revoked after that false claim. 😂

I'm originally from Noblesville Indiana. There's an ampatheater there. I saw Bocephus (Hank Jr.) perform there. A few nights later I had tickets to see Van Halen. Eddie comes to the mic and says, "Unfortunately our drummer can't perform tonight because he developed food poisoning. Don't worry though, because we have a guest that was kind enough to join us on one of his days off touring. Ladies and gentlemen, Hank Williams Jr." He tore those drums up!

@rockinredneck57 2 года назад

Actually it was his mother who taught him the music business. She groomed him to take the stage at 8 years old in 1957 to be a mini Hank Sr. His stage mannerisms, his vocal inflections and delivery. In his teens he started listening to what all the other teens listened to. Rock and Roll. He still played country but his future was to combine them. He learned so many instruments from stars who came to his house when his mother would throw a party. ALL the big country, pop and early rock stars showed up and doted on little Hank. When he was 14 he went to Hollywood and cut several of his fathers songs for a movie soundtrack about his father's life. Your Cheating Heart. Listen to "Born to Boogie" by Hank Jr. It covers a lot of his life.

HANK Williams Sr passed away from an overdose when he was 3. HANK Sr was THE country legend of the 40’s/50’s and was only 29 at his death. A lot of folks wanted him to copy his dad, but he had friends in both rock and country who were pushing him to be his own singer. The perceived battle with his dad’s ghost was a big reason for his drug and alcohol abuse.

@joannholmes8726 2 года назад

I had no idea he died that young! He was a legend before he was 30?

@ricklabonte2775 2 года назад

Yes. His career was only from 1947 till his death in 1953 at 29. In that time he wrote hundreds of songs that became super hits for him and later artist. George Thourogood’s “Move It On Over” was a cover of a Hank Williams song

Hank Sr had a deformed spine and attempted rodeo riding, that made it worse. He drank and did drugs partly for pain relief. Hank Jr indulged, but did slow with time despite having years of surgeries after an almost fatal 500 foot fall off of Ajax Mountain in Montana, the trade mark hat, shades and beard are covering scars from skin grafts and a glass eye

Hank Williams Jr. was a young boy when his daddy died and his mama pushed him to sing his daddy's song on stage. She wanted him to take his daddy's place on stage. He finally grew up enough to rebel. He did not want to be a substitute for his dad. He wanted to sing his own songs and to sing the way he wanted. He managed to break free and has his own career. For a long time he avoided his daddy's song but he finally more or less made his peace with who he was and who his dad was. He has even made a video of him singing with his dad like they were actually singing together. This was something he was never able to do in real life. I saw it once years ago but I really do not remember the song but it should still be out there somewhere. He and Kid Rock are friends.

Check him out., another legend

@@jesseduke694 There's so many great songs Hank did it's hard for me to pick a favorite. Hank Jr. is the real deal. My favorite singer hands down!

Also Hank Jr. was in a horrific auto accident and he almost died,he was drunk,his father Hank Sr was a hard drink man, so Jr did as he saw and thought that's what you do, you party hard! He almost lost everything, lawsuits because he was too drunk to get to the show and busted for pot. So much of his persona was from his dad, whom he idolized, Jhonny Cash was around as Jr was coming up. To have him alive and able to be that cautionary tale for ppl like Kid Rock & other's is awesome!! Hank sings; 'Tell me Hank, why do ya drink? &The crowd yells, TO GET DRUNK!! Hank sings; 'Why do you roll smoke?' crowd: TOO GET STONED!!! Great memories of a great concert and a great man!

Hank Sr died when Hank was 3. He was sent up on stage at 8 years old to sing his Father's songs. He can play 25 instruments and solos each one on stage during his shows. He fell over 500 ft off a mountain in mid 70s that destroyed his face, hence dead and shades hiding scars. You should react to Born to Boogie from Hank Jr.

My favorite Hank Williams jr song

@jwmcgee1991 2 года назад

I'd bet there is no instrument he can't play. He was born into music and had a name to uphold. Everyone helped him along the way.

His daddy died when he was a little boy.

Gosh this was my favorite song back then. Just about him. He wrote the soundtrack to my youth and I thought I heard a beautiful soul inside those songs. But, I guess we never really understand anyone altogether. Broke my heart when he changed so much.

Hank Jr was only 3 years old when his Daddy died. He had a tough road growing up in the shadow of a imperfect man he never really knew, that so many loved. He had a terrible accident that smashed his face up & nearly killed him, falling in the traps of fame, bucking”The System”carving out his career roads, drugs,& life. Not too long ago, he lost his daughter. This song was for wife #2, who’s loved him for Him-Not the Myth, or the Glitter & Gold.

Yes, that was Kid Rock, and bless your heart for recognizing Hank SR. There's also a Hank Williams the 3rd. You should definitely check it out.

His Dad left him when he was 3... Passed away.. His Mother raised him to be exactly like his daddy and it was expected of him do sing his daddy's songs as much like his daddy as possible.. After a while that waned on him and got old fast. as soon as he was the age of adult he took over his own carrear and started running his own show, singing his own material... The thing that really turned him around was the thing that almost killed him.. He was in a Mountain climbing accident and fell 500 ft... Survived it, after much surgery and while still going through surgeries, returned to the stage doing things His way...
