Hank Williams Jr. Throwback Video of the Day
With a nickname like Bocephus, you have to be something special. The son of country legend, Hank Williams Sr., Randall Hank Williams Jr is just that -- special. Born in May of 1949 in Shreveport, La., Hank Jr. is not only a singer-songwriter, but he also plays multiple instruments.
Hank Jr. began his career by following in his famous father's footsteps; singing his father's songs and imitating his father's style. Williams's was slowly finding his own style and place in the music industry, until his near fatal fall off the side of Ajax Mountain in Montana in 1975. After a long recovery Hank Jr. challenged the country music industry with a blend of country, rock, and blues. Williams enjoyed much success in the 1980s which earned him recognition and popularity in the country music industry.
