As the lone son of Hank Williams, the honky tonk singer whose music shaped the sound of country music in the 20^th century, Hank Williams, Jr. happily embraced his “Family Tradition,” as he called it on the hit 1979 single that served as his commercial breakthrough and first step in the creation of his own legacy. Williams recorded music that touched Billboard’s country Top Ten throughout his teenage years; however, in the 70’s he ingeniously merged the swagger of outlaw country and the thunder of country-rock to create his own archetype: the bawdy, rowdy country singer who may be a shade too mean for his own good. He dominated the 1980’s by racking up Top Ten Country singles, eight of which reached number one, including instant classics as “All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down), its counterpart “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight” (which served as the theme song to Monday Night Football for years), and “A Country Boy Can Survive.” Hank Jr. remained a steady presence in country music while generating recent comebacks as 2016 album It’s About Time and blues record Rich White Honky Blues in 2022.
