Hank Williams Jr. Opens up About His Fall of a Mountain 

I love how hank just tells it how it is...God bless this country icon KING.

Hank is not just Country Music. He is Rock he is Blues he Country, He is southern rock. He is all of it.

Man Bocepus got me through some of the worst times of my life and was the background to some of the best times! Living Legend!

Hank is a legend he keeps it real Country Folks can Survive

7:30 - Tear in my Beer is one of the earliest songs I can remember as a little kid. My late Grandfather was a HUGE Hank Williams Sr. and Jr. fan. He died in 1997, but in 2009 I found an old cassette tape with Hank Williams songs on it. I put it on and in the middle of the tape and right after Tear in my Beer, is my Grandfather speaking and leaving an undated message. It was like he was back and we were listening to Hank songs!

Hank told Bones what he thought of him in no certain terms. Love Hank

Feelin Better is an underrated Hank song. Never got the radio play, but that one is probably my favorite.

Ive been hearing Bocephus since before i can remember and ive been lucky enough to see this living legend in person several times. There wont be any more like this man when hes gone. Enjoy him while hes here.

HWJR & I have been friends for a lot of years. We loved to go deep sea fishing, eat good food and drink a lot. Loved HWJR forever. Can't wait for the summer in Apalachicola, this year. So cool, so much fun let"s roll!!

Hank Williams Jr has always kept it real. I've loved and listened to your music since I was young, 10-11 years old. Listen now. You are my families tradition. Now and forever. I love your honesty, your attitude, and the love you have for your family and friends. You are the best.

These comments. 🙄 You can tell that I reign from a softer generation when a man who is visibly in pain following the loss of both his youngest daughter, and his wife of more than 30 years, upsets them by simply being ornery. He's a 72 year old man experiencing a level of grief that no human should endure at that stage in life. Not to mention, he survived a 540' foot fall down the Ajax mountainside, in which he survived by quite literally holding his own skull together. Of course he's going to seem a little incoherent and/or irrational. The fact that Bobby Bones almost instantly showed his hand when displaying his lack of knowledge of Hank Williams, Jr. is laughable enough. From mistaking a Hank Williams Sr. song as a Jr. original, to not knowing that one of Hank's most recognizable songs of all time is still performed in concert. Hank knows his audience, and neither Bobby Bones or those who listen to him are his fan base. This show is for the bedazzled skinny jean Luke Bryan crowd, and that is painfully obvious. "Rich White Honky Blues" is an album for the diehard listener, not the casual Walmart cowboy who thinks a lifted mall crawler of a pickup truck and some cheap water down beer makes them "country."

All them songs he named off is what I grew up listening to. I saw Hank in 1984 on the Man of Steel tour. I was 10 yo and was hooked since then!

Hank ,is like asking any old timer any question. U gonna be there for a min. Then u forget what the hell u asked,and just go with the story.. I love it.. he is just like an old man from the south

You can tell Hank can not stand Bobby Bones, or has any respect for him. The only people who like Bobby Bones are the same people who think Sam Hunt is country.

Feelin' Better and New South, two of the best songs he ever did

Bocephus ain't nothing but the truth. He's an American treasure and most folks don't recognize him. I have nothing but love and respect for the man, the myth, and the legend

He's a legend in his own right ..sorry to hear he lost his daughter in an accident

Hank Jr is the man he's the last of a dying breed for sure I would give anything to sit and listen to Hank Williams just talk man the story he could tell

Like Hank said, "going smoke my cigar and get the hell out of here. I'm done with this shit." Well stated HANK!!! Whoever this pretty boy is giving the interview is a smartass

I've been a Hankjr fan like many for years. You just never know what your going to get from him in a interview.

I got nothing but love for Hank Jr. He’s a hero of mine. I just saw him in Des Moines Iowa in concert. But watching this video kind of hurt my soul. I was raised better, no matter my pain, or age. I’ll be respectful up until im pushed not to be. I too love cigars, a man of cigars should ensue relaxation.

PTSD..... Hank is in pain, inside and outside, but he is Hank Jr. Thanks and Blessings y'all......

Love Hank!! He is a legend of country music! The GOAT!!

After watching this, I was surprised Hank Jr didn’t get up and leave sooner. Bobby Bones was being a smart ass towards him and Hank Jr’s patience with it impressed me.

Hank is cracking me up 🤣, GOAT!

There will never be another person like Hank Williams Jr.

Ty Bobby for this interview with Hank. He's definitely a living legend in all types of music, he's sang and preformed with the best. Ty again Bobby. Listen to you just about every morning here in Bradenton/ Sarasota area

Loved Hank for years.......but he seems like someone I wouldn't want to meet after watching this.

Love it that Jr. is giving props to the American Blues Masters who gave us so much.

Hank is as real as real can be! 😂 He said “so what” 😂 He didn’t care to be there I believe. Hanks one of the last of the dying breed. Been my hero for a long time!

I love hank jr. Music he is a legend hank jr. Williams a legend!!

Hank Jr. Is the man!! 🤘🏼LEGEND! We appreciate you Hank!

Moved from California to West Virginia as a child. My best friend loaned me Hank’s Greatest Hits. I became a fan.

If I were to do an interview with Hank Jr, aka Thunderhead Hawkins, aka Bocupheous I damn sure wouldn't start it off the way Bobby Bones did especially with how much of a fan I am and how much this man's music has helped me through the darkest and roughest moments of my life I almost guarantee that he wouldn't have wanted to walk out if I conducted the interview

That's why we Love Hank / Thunderhead....He does it his way! Love the line about..."...the other 85 million" & "Sr. and Jr. in the HOF".

I love Mr. Hank Jr. I’m 44 but I’m an old school county fan….The only newer county artists I like are Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers. I admit I don’t have a clue who this guy Bobby Bones is but it’s clear he is not very knowledgeable on Mr. Hank Jr. and as for Hank being an asshole….aren’t we all sometimes assholes? Hank has been on my mind a lot lately especially since the passing of his wife Mary Jane. Hank and his family were already grieving the loss of his youngest daughter Katie. My heart truly aches for them all. For anyone not familiar with Hank Jr’s earlier work that often gets overlooked you need to check it out. It’s some of his best music IMO.

Thank is such a common man. That's why the people love and respect him so much

Nothing like Hank jr.....the man,the myft, the legend....tower of power to Sweet to be Sour...

Hank Jr. , a crazy country vato!!! Wow! Very heavy story about his fall! A national treasure! Bless this man!

he has told this story for decades if that is what you mean by "opens up". Loves to talk about himself, his friends, and his daddy.

I saw Hank Jr. in concert back in 2006 and that was a fun time. Hell of a talent and entertaining.

IN the video featuring his 89 Double Eagle tour he talked about doing an all blues album useing the name Thunderhead Hawkins. THis was something in the making for decades. I cant wait for my signed CD to arrive.

Hank Jr. Is And awesome. Love his music and He is a Walking Miracle.

I saw this awesome dude three times in the 80s, and each time was a new high. What a showman. Love ya Hank Jr.,and Sr., and lll.

I love you hank happy birthday your the best i been a fan of yours over 40years

The song All in Alabama is great one of my fav’s of anyone not just his. It’s off the album Habits Old & New I bought it at his gift shop in Tennessee the lady told me that’s a good one there. I knew it was that’s why I bought it I liked to wore it out.

Love Hank Jr., love Blues, Love the new music

What a fascinating individual! Initially on the radio interview I thought he was kind of a jerk.. but seeing this and hearing a different story.. he’s earned to be who he is. Mad respect

I love Jr, hes exactly like every other musician you meet. They're all a touch crazy.

I grew up listening to his dad's music and his music he should make more music

I love how you can tell Hank's just over all that shit. God bless you Hank Jr 😂

Hank and Bobby are complete opposite’s, Hank is real old school country rock, Bobby is a nice guy but he is not country like the old school guys! I knew this was going to be oil and water when I heard Hank was going to be on here which I was surprised he agreed to be on this show to start with!

Hank Jr. A legend in his own mind. Love it love him king of country music

Hank’s cantankerous but, he has a right to be. 😉 Bless him! He’s been through a lot in his life but, I would say the last few years have been his hardest. He’s so talented! ❤️

Good job Hank Jr, you are a supreme guy! Thanks for never sugar coating and being real.

A true Legend. America will never be the same when his generation is gone.

This country needs more of this, saying what's on your mind, period. Hank Jr played the game up until 1975 and it nearly killed him, they nearly killed him trying to make him into Hank Sr. When his Doctor told him he would be dead by 26, would beat his father to the grave if he continued, he changed things. Then he nearly died up on Ajax Mountain outside Wisdom, Montana. Hank Jr was left here for a very good reason, the greatest country, southern rock, blues, gospel, entertainer of all time. As he said, "I'm Bocephus call the music whatever you want too!" He may be a little rough for some of these sensitive P#&#%#S today, but he is the man, period. Thank you Hank for getting me through a lot of tough times.

Hank is Bocephus and the Greatest. You put on Hank, you light up the room and get people smiling. I’d love to meet him one day. Maybe cook a pig and have him join us. 👍🏻

HANK JR IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES !

Dang this was a fantastic interview with Hank Jr.!! Will never be another like him...#legend

That right there is why I've been a hank jr fan since I was my son's ages ... 👊

Hank is awesome he's like I said some shit that's true I'm out. Love that new album I ain't heard blues like that in a long time.

I grew up almost all this man concerts thanks 🙏 Hank

1 of the greatest to ever do it much respect forever

I haven't seen Ole Hank in years! I have to say, "he's aging well. Like a fine wine." As we say in SC lol

I love you Hank Williams Jr You so precious I love your songs😂❤❤

Hank demands all respect and deserves it ,ant got time for no crap.

I find this dude is so disrespectful, and he makes my skin crawl. He's a legend. My idol.

Grew up with hank JR and he is my favorite country singer of all time, love the interview.

if it will it will Thats what got me listening to HANK back when i was 5 . god bless all the hank's

Hank jr is such a legend. All in Alabama is one of my favourite songs ever

I'm feeling better now that I'm back on the road getting into is literally one of the best songs Hall in Alabama is one of my favorite ones

Love me some Bocephus. 45 years of listening to his music. Bones on the other hand makes me dearly miss Gerry House and Carl P Mayfield on the air. You can't fill those shoes.

Love Hank Jr one all time of all time greatest would love to meet him

I wonder if the accident saved his life from the fast pace of living on the road? Hank is fit to be tied, lol! Hole in my bucket, Man of Steel! Hank has seen the light! You want the best out of Hank then you go to Hank's world! The man has lived, seen, and been through it all! He is, was, and will ever be free of any bs on HIS terms, this is what we call freedom. I would love to sip some jars with Hank up in that Montana/Idaho or Tennessee mountain land!

Hank you preach respect and act all high and mighty. I don’t care if he hates Bobby . Show some F ing respect . They were respecting you .

The ultimate legend 🙌

Hank has zero filter. Love him.

been listen to this guy since 1989

I lost my brothers in 2008 and met Hank he wrote my mom and dad a touching letter about his father Hank Williams Sr. I met him in a tackle store when I told him thank you for doing that he immediately talked and opened up. This interview was harsh. He shouldn’t make Bocephus re live his trauma from the mountain. No wonder he wanted to walk out.

This was funny as hell 🤣

Well I gotta say the Legend Hank. Bobby stood right with him.

all in alabama feelin better dinosaur some of the best never released as a single

I lost my brothers in 2008 and met Hank he wrote my mom and dad a touching letter about his father Hank Williams Sr. I met him in a tackle store when I walked up to him and I politely introduced myself to him and said thank you for doing that he immediately talked and opened up he remember the letter and hugged me. Hank is a very good person but This interview was harsh. He shouldn’t make Bocephus re live his trauma from the mountain. No wonder he wanted to walk out. Bobby do better.

Grew up on Hank and fired up to see his show this Saturday!! He is a legend!! I have never met the man but I bet he is much different if speaking to him one on one. He is real, and would probably rather be fishing or picking than sitting in another interview.

Glad to see you,for sure missed,now that o see you.Just didn't know till i heard you speak,for your Real!!! Praise God🎶🎶🎶🎶🙃😁👍🇱🇷🇱🇷❤❤

Hell yeah Hank ! Thanks for the backdrop on your influence

I follow Hank Jr. no matter who interviews him. Hank always comes out on top.

Hank makes my 40 feet fall seem like child’s play

True artists are hard to find, but they are still out there.

I know every Hank Williams song,Senior and Junior,that’s ever been recorded.Heck,I even had Hank Jr’s first album,a house fire in 1993 got most of my records,but the oldest Jr I have that survived is the album from the movie “Your Cheating Heart “.Hank Jr can do it all,and has done it all.He’s worked his ass off in spite of what some folks think.

We love you Hank keep on singing🥰

That new album of Hanks sure has some beatin' heart in it! Go give it a listen. After that I had to que up " you can't judge a book" New memories folks

Hank is the man!

Love Hank Jr.

imagine a family line where talent in music is this genetic. Hank III is great, IV is coming up and he's got it too.

There's only one Hank Williams Jr. I'm not sure we could handle another one.

living legend will never be topped

Love hank seeing him this month in SC absolutely excited

Got to see Hank Jr on the 13th of May, 2023!! Orange Beach, AL. It was awesome!!
