He should be IN the Hall of Fame, not just playing at it. There is nobody who can even come close to Hank Jr. today. There's Hank, then there's everyone else. Thanks for sharing this!!
Hank Williams, Jr. paying homage to his bestfriend. I'm sure most of you already know, but Hank Jr. gave Waylon Jennings the nickname "Watasha" which is Indian for "Friend". "It's not the money, it's not the fame, it's not the ladies. The eyes of Waylon told me so."
Jase.... The good lord above blessed bocephus with the love of music and the talent to learn 17 instruments and master them all. Also a great head for songwriting. Btw... Love yalls show.. I think every show should have the family praying at family dinner shown atleast 1 time a month.
What everyone seems to forget is Waylon taught Hank and watched over him and was his father figure..none better then Waylon teaching these guys to do it their way not Nashvilles including Shooter..if not for Waylon showing them what talent and music really meant and not to be bought .
This was the best show i'd seen from ole Hank. We drank the hall of fame out of beam and jack an hour before the show started. Small venue, only 143 die hard fans.
And sitting next to hank jr is the white guitar waylon gave him a few years before he died waylon had 5 of them made and gave them away to his closest friends!!
New Album Next Month, going straight to #1, if you guys get the chance, listen to Class reunion of the blues/ then a 25 yr old song written by the Marketing Director of the Dallas Cowboys called" Gonna get drunk and play Hank Williams", which will be on the album as well, great stuff...Bocephus 2012
Shooter's alright, but he ain't his dad - but then again who is? Hank III, meh... He does his thing I guess. If we're talking the younger generation don't forget Jamey Johnson.
Wow.. The ignorance in all these comments. Start off with... One word in japanese can mean something different in american indian. 2nd... That is not waylons guitar. Shooter owns that one now if its not in the hall of fame. U can tell by the bocephus eagle in tje leather. Hank only plays his instruments on stage. 3rd... Waylon was a great friend and mentor to bocephus but he has always said it was merle kilgore and johnny cash that made him...him. Waylon toured with buddy holley as a bass player for the crickets. (Backup) and buddy pushed waylon to be waylon. Holly made texas music his own and pushed waylon to so the same. And im sure after hank passed waylon and johnny helped bocephus seethe way it should be done. Remember.... The first triple platinum record in nashville was in waylons name. Now... For all the folks that say aint noone like hank or waylon... Id love to say yall are right... However you are not. Bocephus started with his daddys songs got some fame... Then fell off a mountain.. Did it his way and made the big time for real. Waylon merle johnny kris willie david allen all wrote great songs for alot of folks then themselves most of the time. Because outlaws like them... Had to pay the bills to do the music their own way.
Wow ...if you actually knew Waylon or Hank you would actually know ....Waylon was Hank's dad in teaching and as friend...and No Waylons guitar isn't in the country music Hall of fame and like normal they didn't respect or honor him the way they should have so I thank Waylon for not letting them play on his Name..Still not impressed with the B.S that goes on in Nashville because it's not about music it's still about money..
Actually that is Waylons guitar ...If you listen he talks to Shooter who is sitting in the audience..and the country music HALL of fame is a joke still when it comes to Waylons exhibit...they are still playing on his name and you would know that Waylon was right ABOUT everything he said about the fake shit that they have..they even did a crappie job on the replica guitar they have...
You also need some HOMEWORK lessons because he was with Waylon who did mentor him more then Any as he explains in many of his interviews...Waylon was good friend to Audrey and that is why he wrote about it and he has Hank Sr. Boots and other belongings that he was given by Jr..yes Cash helped but Waylon showed him about his ways and not to back DOWN....
Haggard is good I love Hag, but even Hag can't keep up with Hank live. DAC is a joke these days. I've seen him live in his heyday and he was good, but never this good. I've seen Willie too. His ass most of the night. I'll say it again, no performer can hold a light to Hank. Piss off? Hardly.
