Funny story: my daughter didn't have many interactions with her Dad, as he would often "forget" (i.e. be too messed up to remember to pick her up on the weekends)…..(I'd tell her he had to work)….but when she finally was an adult and wanted to get to know him, she and I and some friends went to a Karaoke Bar and she heard this song. She was like: "They wrote a song about my Daddy!!"....because by then, many of her other family members had been... well, most went to prison at least once. All but my daughter. She was serving on the city counsel, while raising three very smart children, one with special physical needs.

This song was written because his mother disowned him. She wanted to benefit from his talent & wanted him to sing only his fathers songs. Hank Jr rebelled, like a true Southerner, & went his own direction with his music! Check out his song "Hog Wild" & "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight". You'll love them.

Hank Sr. was a hard living, hard partying incredibly talented man. Look at the legacy he left and he died at age 29. Hank Jr. was basically put on the road at the age of 9 to perform his daddy’s songs. He struggled living in his father’s shadow. He drank, he did drugs, he partied and attempted to self delete. He fell off a mountain in the middle of nowhere and crushed his skull. His brain and one of his eyeballs were out of his head. It took 6 hours to rescue him and 5 surgeons working for over 7 hours to even start to repair the damage. When he woke up he didn’t even know if he would ever talk again much less perform. He was in recovery and therapy for two and a half years after that. But in his prescription pain pill “haze” he found his unique voice and wrote a lot of songs. He embraced his outlaw Country image and hasn’t looked back. He’s a legend in his own right and I’m sure his daddy would have been very proud that his son came out of his shadow and into his own. So if he gets drunk and sings all night long it really is a family tradition. Like father like son.

Imagine the impossible pressure to live up to the best ever. He couldn't, and that's what really drove him to the vices that nearly killed him. When he finally found his own path, he found his own voice and success. And his own legend alongside his dad.

When he was a young artist he covered a lot of his dad’s songs. He eventually wanted to go his own way, when he fell off Ajax mountain in Montana and almost died when he woke in the hospital Johnny and June Cash were at his bedside. Once he recovered he started doing his own thing and jumped headfirst into the outlaw country genre. He has a lot of great songs. The thing about it is he has lived most of his songs. It is definitely a rabbit hole for you to dive into my personal favorites are: OD’d in Denver, All in Alabama, Bluesman, whiskey bent and hell bound and the list goes on and on. He is definitely a country gangster.

The fact is that he has been playing for longer then most and I can’t recall the exact number it’s been many years ago but he had a crazy number of chart toppers on the billboards top 100 at the same time that just can’t be matched.

Yeah. people at his concerts always answer these questions. Why do you drink? To get drunk. Why do you smoke? To get stoned. His concerts are an experience. I have been to abut a dozen of them. He plays almost every instrument too. You got that right, he is a GOAT.
