the basic songs.

[@davidwestebbe6250]

His son, Hank III, is also great. He plays everything from very traditional old-timey country music where he sings almost as well as his granddad, to outlaw country to hell billy. He also has another band, Assjack, where he plays hardcore rock with a bald singer screaming into the microphone.

[@ScorpioKing1]

That man can play any instrument made.... and literally play the hell outta it. When he was younger he fell 500 feet off of a mountain. He is badass 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Charlie Daniels...... Simple Man is a great song of you liked this one

[@stevedaulton9655]

You are officially a Country Boy! We come from all over all backgrounds - its about self reliance, treating others respectfully. Don't you love how Hank Jr lays it down and tells such truth in his songs and that voice is off the charts - you hear that you'll feel it and then the instruments so well played. Hank Williams Jr is son of the Famous Hank Williams who passed early due to alcoholism. Hank Jr has struggled himself and had a severe facial injury from years ago which drastically changed how he looks - but he persevered. He has a funny side and poke at himself side - might check out Whisky Bent and Hell bound, and Family Tradition - 2 classic outlaw country favorites. Enjoy!

Hank Jr. had a terrible accident early in his adult life, fell down a mountainside. We are blessed he lived, recovered and continued making music.

[@beverlysmith8025]

Check out music by his father who was killed in a car accident at a young age...both he and his father are giants in country. This man did the Monday Night Football song...he also fell down a mountain and broke his head like a boiled egg...Google these men, you will be amazed!

[@mikecaetano]

Um, sorry, his father died in a car but not in an accident. Complicated story that. Hank Williams Sr. was 29. Some credit his 1947 tune "Move It On Over" as the first rock song.

[@truckertriesfarming9792]

@@mikecaetano As I recall, he OD'd on liquor and pills. I'd have to fact check myself, but I think he was popping speeders to stay up, and downers to get to sleep, and the harsh ups and downs of that wreak havoc on your body. Then, add excessive quantities of alcohol...

[@mikecaetano]

@@truckertriesfarming9792 Wikipedia tells the tale well enough. He suffered from spina bifida and throughout his adult life compensated for the pain with booze, pills, and injections. On the night he died the culprit was morphine. He wasn't partying though, he was sick and in pain and on his way to a show in Canton, Ohio. He died while he slept in the back seat of the car taking him there.

[@michaeltabor4176]

If I am not mistaken the reason he grew his beard and always wears sunglasses is to hide the scars from his climbing accident.

The original Hank Williams wrote poems and set them to very simple tunes. This sets a perfect background for the words. "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" gets to me every time. He manages to capture the essence of an experience.
