Hank, Jr., is a great country artist. Coming back from that near lethal fall off the mountain side is, indeed, a miracle. As his career progressed, Hank, Jr., did what was best for him, and country music fans all over the world are the richer for it. What he has accomplished as an artist is remarkable.
I was born in 1970 and by the 80's I was a country music man and still am, grew up listen to Hank JR,Waylon,Willie, George Jones, Merle etc... in the 80's and that's how I got to know his music...On the radio, songs like Dixie on my mind,Born to Boogie, Heaven Can't be found,etc...So, I became a Hank Jr fan because of his own music, and not because of his Daddy, Who I also am a fan of....
Singin his daddys songs was ok when he was learning to sing as a youth, but (I don't know) maybey they should've gave him his own set of songs, of if he wrote songs let him do his own stuff... Then, when he did do one of his daddy's songs it wouldn't ve been like a forced thing, and the (want to)would be there!!! When his heart is in it,,man he can sing the hell out of his daddy's songs!!!
Hank sounds wonderful here. He has always had a great voice - in his own right. I love to hear him today do the love songs - the ballads - for which he has made me a fan of his. I am glad he has been having a fine career of his own and I only wish he would stay away from the over the top drinking, cussing songs because they aren't what true country music is all about. In his private life it's his own business but not in the public eye. I quit going to his concerts. Thanks for this. - Paula
Thanks for posting this video. For long -time Bocephus fans, it is great seeing a piece of the past. I've been a proud Hank Jr fan for four decades, he is an absolute legend.
hank jr has an awesome voice, but he wanted to do hs own songs then, and was told he and his songs wasnt good enough, i dont care what anybody say abt. hank jr cos hank jr went through alot growng up. just think abt it, at the age of 8 he was forced to go on stage and preform his daddys songs. so that is why he was so bitter ,you can see it in his face. but after hs accident he was out of the publics eye and country music changed, then hank jr RULED THE 80S IN COUNTRY MUSIC. JR STILL RULES!!!
OMG! Ralph Emory is a hoot! Wow, look how young and clean-cut...no wonder he rebelled! Man what a hard act he had to follow and then people insisted he sing his dad's songs.
Greatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt wow
