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.

[@fatguypa]

Teer in my beer. The music video

[@JUSTMAR1E]

Mr Lincoln. By hank Williams jr. it really talks about what’s been going on for too many years ....sorta political I guess that’s why it doesn’t get played.

[@mattladner8599]

There's a Devil in the Bottle

[@MrYellowClyde]

O.D. ed in Denver is a great one.

[@revolverguy651]

This song was actually written by Hank for his second wife who saved him from himself. He was drinking and doing drugs and on the edge of killing himself with everything at that time.

[@labchic97]

Not to mention his dad died at the age of 29

[@Gutslinger]

@@labchic97 Or his wife, at the age of 61, just a couple of weeks ago. 😕

[@AppalachianRedRoots]

Actually george jones did the sing first but google is great right. Real country boy here

[@Gutslinger]

@@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 Your "country boy" card has been revoked after that false claim. 😂

[@hewwest1593]

His Dad died when hank was 3 years old on his way to Canton,ohio for a New Years show........his mom shoved hank into the lime light to fill his daddy's shoes

[@clark8712]

Not only do I consider this Hank Jr's best song, I consider it one of the best songs in music history. most people never heard of it...heh

[@markmoscatello9461]

Hank has it of great songs but this one just hits hard with me. It's sad it's not more well known. I think I found it from Living proof. I don't even like the song living proof but when I heard this song I was blown away.

[@m.c.1933]

I agree with everything you said. One of the best ever.

I love hank but I prefer Alan Jackson’s version

[@melisaunderwood3468]

Hank Sr and Jr were HEAVY partiers. Jr grew the beard and wore sunglasses so you can't see the scars after he fell off of a mountain. Then he became the Legend.

The Allan Jackson's version is off the chain too! Which is an ode to hank jr.

Alan Jackson wrote it about Hank Williams Jr

[@brianoliver4334]

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!

[@matthewscott8692]

Are you serious? I'm a huge Hank fan and never heard this before. I'm not doubting you but I wish someone had recorded it! By the way I'm from Indy and been to Deer Creek a million times

[@joemama_6009]

What year?

[@the1spen]

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.

[@edrrobb1988]

Seen him everytime hes in Nashville area since 94.. my hubby is the biggest fan i ever saw 2nd row centeŕ in 03 Starwood amp. You can see us on cmt got me in with the bandat that concert. Crowd pan black cami and black cowboy hat.

[@rachet0708]

By the time Bocephus was 30 he had lived more than most of us at 50. The man lived through drug overdoses and alcohol addiction, fell of a Montana mountain and should have died, he been through it all. He lived the life of a true traveling musician and true blue hell raiser, he is a living legend and one of the last true outlaws.

[@ricklabonte2775]

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]

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

[@ricklabonte2775]

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

[@chiefsteps-in-poo8447]

Alcoholism runs in the blood. Hank Jr would have been an alcoholic regardless what he did.

[@ricklabonte2775]

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

[@joannholmes8726]

@@ricklabonte2775 Thank you for your comments. I have had 3 spinal surgeries. It affected my art and my life. I feel the pain.

[@johnniekilgore9413]

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.

[@willydb11184]

Man without this music and my ride or die woman I wouldn't be where I am today!!!

[@georgeclarke8137]

His father was the pioneer of Country Music. Hank Williams senior toured all over the US in the late 40s and 50s. He died at a young age in a car when they were on the road headed for a performance. He died of heart attack due to a mix of drugs and alcohol.

[@montana_garage]

Hank was playing to crowds when he was six, singing his fathers blues. Tough tough way to bring up a kid.

[@rockinredneck57]

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.

[@marypulley6512]

Remember Hank Jr. fell off the side of a mountain and took years to rebuild his face. I hope that his wife appreciates that song that he wrote for Her alone. Sometimes you can do all of those good things and more,for someone and never be noticed

You say it takes most people a lot longer than 30 to take a look at themselves and see they can do better. That's true. However, the stuff Hank Jr. did and went through by age 30 would probably take most folks 50 or 60 years to experience, He led a rather wild and out of control life very early on.

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!
