Family Tradition. It's everything a country song should be. Though I've always known who he was, I only recently went back to listen to his albums and they're good.
Wow, Great question. 1st. fan since 1978/79. 2nd. No way I can pick one. I must give at least 3. 1. Feeling Better 2. The New South 3. Country Boy Can Survive. Love me some Bocephus!
Me and my son Zack Hammond country music singer been fan's of Hank Williams Jr country music from the beginning of his daddy singing career Hank Williams Sr and Hank Williams Jr. Me and my son Zack Hammond country music singer loves all of Hank Williams Sr and Hank Williams Jr country music songs !!
When a person will say I don't care I become scared of their behavior, and fear for their soul in eternity. I'm a nobody but I want friends, I want love/respect not a bed partner, I want trust, I have hope because I care and believe in hope/Jesus.
I love Hank's attitude. He doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks of him, his songs or how he presents himself and he is still one of the most famous artists in country music. He is a Conservative and isn't afraid to toot his Conservative horn, he is anti-establishment and that kind of attitude is something we ALL should have these days and we shouldn't be afraid to voice our opinions on any issues without fear of censorship or cancellation. Who cares about the Grand ole Opry anyway? I never could understand what the big prestige of being a member of that was for these artists..... Big deal.....
@@donyoung7874 In order to attempt to re-establish the original establishment upon which this country was founded that the dip-shit, progressive, liberal democrats have absoltely ruined with their ridiculously stupid political agendas. That is why.....
Yeah, Hank is an inspiration. We should all not give a shit about anyone but ourselves or what anybody else thinks. What a beautiful world it would be if we were all like him.
lol ya'll trigger over anything. all Fox News is is agitprop. It's why you're angry all the time. Gotta have the resentment against liberals burning bright all the time. Who else can you blame for all your problems? The rich guys who won't pay you enough? Or give you benefits? Or jack the prices up on everything just because they can. No it's that poor soul down the street who's having it just a little tougher than you. He's the reason your life sucks. Right?
What a damn legend this man is. I regret hating country music my whole life simply because the only country anyone ever showed me was faith hill and rascal flats. Old outlaw country is my entire music collection now.
I can totally see how that would happen. Country music stopped being country in the mid 90s. I feel for you and others that didn’t get to grow up like I did in the 70s and 80s when country music was outstanding.
I've been a fan my entire life, I'm 40. A couple years ago I contacted Mr. Hank through F.B. and asked for his permission to play od in denver but if I could change some of the word's and tempo to fit my style. He told me to do my thing. He also responded to me within 12 hour's. He is a true gentleman and I will never forget how well he treated a nobody like me. So many favorite songs from Mr. Hank but women I've never had always gets me going.
@Big Papa Stovepipe I couldn't agree more, he truly is the real deal. I'll never forget it and even though I have had a very full filled life it definitely goes down as one of the highlights. It truly meant the world to me. Hell of a man
@Big Papa Stovepipe I saw him in a dive bar on the west coast this summer, I told him he looked like Merle Haggard and he smiled. He was not using his name, he said he was there playing some new song's. No one knew who he was and I didn't say a word, my friend even asked me for cash to buy him a drink not knowing who he was, I offered him food (he was at a table by himself)...
I’ve been a Hank Jr fan for nearly 50 yrs, since the mid 70s. My favorite song of his is Country Boy Can Survive, and I’ve seen him in concert 7 times, 5 times in the 80s and twice in the 90s. He’s my favorite country music artist !!! I’m a huge fan and I respect his politics and his personal ethics. I almost always agree with his stance on social issues.
I've seen Hank 7 times. Hank entertains a crowd like no one else, and will take you back in time with a melody of his fathers hits, some Jerry Lee, Fat's, and some Skynyrd. I've been to many other of concerts, but Hank keeps me coming back for more. The best parts when he's on stage, telling stories by his self, with a guitar or piano. It don't get no better.
I have been a fan of Hank since 1965 after watching the movie "Your Cheating Heart" with him doing the vocals. I consider myself his number one fan. Been supporting him all through the years, from his highs to his lows. Best concert show out there.
Hank, Jr. is the BEST! Been a fan since 1982! Seen him 30 times in concert! He’s the greatest musician and songwriter of all time! Too many favorites to name just one!
Yes you are right, he is one of the best if not the best. I'm really much impressed with your word. I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this compliment
Seen this man twice as a young child and it was a life altering experience. David Allen Coe was with him both times. He is the real deal. Living legend here folks. Love me some Bocephus.
Hank Williams Jr is quite candid. He tells everybody exactly how he feels. And there's nothing wrong with that. He lives his life as he wants to and you know that's a great idea. I have to applaud you for that Hank Williams Jr.
Right! I grew up on his great music and I care more about that than his politics. I give full respect for anyone that says what they think and doesn’t give a damn what others say about it. I was raised to be the same.
Hank Williams Jr. “IS” my Bucket List...to meet him in person! I have a picture of him and a friend of mine in 2005, I love this guy! Sooo, once again, Hank Jr. (Bocephus) is my bucket list to meet this remarkable, talented, and amazing man!
One OG that still holds the respect of so many people. Hank should have been in the hall of fame years ago. So appreciate that he continues to speak his mind. I grow up with a dad singing Hank Sr. Music and carried on with my own family with Hank Jr. And it's a blessing we still have him after he fall off that mountain side. Sorry about his loss of his wife just a few months ago. And we will say, Yes we are sure Hank did it this way. Hank Jr. wasn't in the grand old opera because he has been ture to himself and his followers. Happy you did this vedio
@@hankwilliams.jr.4171 appreciate you and thanking you for sharing remain a fan is a life time plan, really don't have to plan just start singing a Hank song and someone brings out the records, cds and whatever else we have gathered
Thanks for all the support, I hope you never stop following and commenting to my posts on my main page dear..Your support made me who I am today and I really appreciate, am promising you more amazing shows dear... THANK YOU Betty Dailey LOVE YOU.You seem like real loving fan, It's your love and support that keeps me going.Also sorry for my late response, you know how the Celebrities life is,always busy with things to keep up the good works.Drop me your gmail so we can talk more better off here Betty
I've been a fan since 1969 when I was nine years old and just started really getting into music. Saw him in Salem Virginia and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
It's good to see you Mr. Hank Jr., I think this is the first interview I saw of you. I saw the video of your new song, Jesus Won't You Come On By Here.
🇺🇸🤠🇲🇽 one of the most underrated country singers. I've listened to him since 15yrs old & my grandfather listened to his dad & later hank jr when i got my 1st cd hank Williams greatest hits.🇲🇽🤠🇺🇸
Wow that’s so nice, I’m a great fan too. I'm really much impressed with your word. I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this compliment
I have been a Hank Jr. fan since 1985. Me and my brother Jackie have been die hard Bocephus fans we have went to a concert as a family outing. We took our Momma to a Hank Jr. concert for Mother's Day one year and of course we started my daughter Magginator (Maggie) out right with her 1st Bocephus concert @ at the great age of 8. We all feel like Hank Jr and all his family are a part of our family. With the happiness we r happy but with the sadness and tragedy we mourn just like they do. My favorite song of Hank Jr. is I Feel Like Joe Montana!!
I was born on Hank Jr and live my life like his song says "a country boy will survive". I never got see to see Hank Jr in concert but if he comes back to Cali I will be front row!
Am not white but I sure do love Country music. Hank Williams Jr is one of my favorite singers. I just love this man and his don’t give a damn type of way just like me. Thank you Hank I listen to your new album today on Alexia. Just what the doctor ordered Hank. Love you man❤️
Wow that’s so nice of you. I'm really much impressed with your word. I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this compliment
I have a black friend that loves Hank Williams Jr also,as well I love black blues music like Hank said good music is good music and like my friend says nothing brings people together like music and fishing
@@timfrederick9305 There is something about Hank Williams that makes folks happy& talk with one another.When he was alive he was like that.Been gone almost 70yrs.still doing the same🌹👍😎
Yessir, this is the Hank Williams Jr. I grew up listening to. WITH The Bama Band I might add. Who are STILL good friends of mine. Hank tells it like it is. Ask him sometime about being at Wild Bill Emerson's house in Hackleburg Alabama . Used to have good times there with Hank, Merle Kilgore, Waylon Jennings, George Jones. Never knew who might be there on a weekend.
A fan since the early 70's.. "Country State of Mind" is a favorite but every song conveys the attitude and words that people feel at different times, depending on the mood I like them all.
“Good music’s is good music”…. Said by one of the GREATEST of all times…. Hank Jr. should already be there… We love ya Hank!!!!! We love your bass guitarist Michelle Poe too‼️ Love Ya Cuz.! 💙
I'm a fan forever!!! Fire off a cannon shot for me!! Yahweh had a reason for you to be here my friend!!! My all time favorite JR song is A Country Boy Can Survive!!
In a lot of ways this guy has kept country music real and alive for tons of fans so yeah he should have already been inducted and the fact that it didn't bother him is exactly why he's one of the best of all time
I always loved the song-Eleven Roses by Hank Jr that came out in 1972,BUT, what drew me to Hank was "Family Tradition". When that song came out in 1979,(I was in High School) my School Bus was stopped letting kids off on a 2 lane Country Highway and a Convertible behind us with the Top down,had "Family Tradition" blasting. I hitchhiked about 7 Miles to a Peaches Records Store and bought the 45,and later that year-Christmas 1979,my parents bought me the 45-Whiskey Bent Hell Bound/OD'd in Denver, along with a Merle Haggard 8-Track of "Back to the Barrooms".
Listened to the whole thing, and this was a good interview by Hank's standards. The interview started out talking hunting so that's probably why Hank stayed and didn't walk out.
I’ve been a fan of Hank almost my entire life… and I’m 47. I can still remember the very first time I ever heard him sing. My dad played a song of his called “Eleven Roses”. At like 9-10 yrs old, I was MINDBLOWN!! I LOVE HANK JR!! ❤️❤️👍🏻
@Big Papa Stovepipe Really? I wasn’t aware that he hated that song… huh. I just remember that being the first time I heard him sing. His voice just sounded so good. As far as my favorite Hank Jr song is concerned… it would probably be a tie between “Heaven Can’t Be Found”, and “Old Habits”. Thanks for the info though… good to know. 👍🏻❤️
I don't listen to much country but a hank is definitely one of those that I do listen to. I also love Marshall Tucker in the Allman Brothers. he was such a hell razor back in the day and it seems like he hasn't lost any of that
Awesome interview I went to high school with a guy named Darrell Jackson in Millbrook Alabama his dad played with Hank Sr. and his family was good friends with Mearl Kilgore and Hank Jr. every time Hank would come into town to play in Montgomery he would always come and visit them he never would ever tell when he was coming saw Hank Jr in concert every time he came he came to Montgomery just thought I'd share that I always been so close but yet so far in my life lol
We need a no BS musical hall of fame. Because artists like Hank Williams Jr., Lemmy Kilmister and Bon Scott are never going to get as much credit as they should. Also because it would be nice to have a hall of fame that is going to snub the flavor of the month acts that got into a hall of fame long before people like those three did.
Hank yiur rougher than a cob as my daddy would say, well so am i , i was a bully tamer growing up and proud to say i changed 47 bullies lives for the good after i spanked them boys i would publicly humiliate them i would tie them up on the 50 yard line of our football field or pitchers mound whstever the season about a half hour before kick off so if they would try to get the rope off it would pull there briches down to do so. They called me mr. Copper a bsck bone braker and a pure old bully whooper. Seen ya bunch in the 70,s and 80, back when beer was more than gasoline
I'm so lonesome I could cry is my favorite song of his dad's. Sometimes I'll play it over and over listening to every word hank senior was the best singer song writer of all time to me. And that's a pretty big statement 👌.
First record I remember my dad buying was LUKE THE DRIFTER; a great education on how to look at life and the people in the world. Hank Jr is about 10 years my senior, so I remember him starting out. Remember hearing about how people put him down, "You'll never as good as your daddy," and I took offense! His dad named him and people should have respected that. Bocefus could deliver those songs with a very similar voice but in his own style. His own early recordings are my favorites of all his works. Decent actor, too. Midnight in Montgomery by Alan Jackson took me to a place. In 1981 I was stationed at Maxwell AFB and the morning before dawn of September 17th of that year I went up the hill to pay respects. A vase of flowers, the card signed simply "Bocefus" was on his grave. I knew it had to be a personal delivery because of who he is. Someone might have claimed a souvenir, but I couldn't touch it. Too much respect for both.
I like Hank Williams Jr. I saw him perform the night of his birthday. He probably was lit when he hit the stage. He said let's go back to the Hitchin' Post. He gave a great performance.
How long have you been a Hank Jr. fan? Let us know and share your favorite, old-school Hank Jr. song.
100 PLUS YEARS 🇨🇦🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🌍
Family Tradition. It's everything a country song should be. Though I've always known who he was, I only recently went back to listen to his albums and they're good.
Wow, Great question.
1st. fan since 1978/79.
2nd. No way I can pick one. I must give at least 3.
1. Feeling Better
2. The New South
3. Country Boy Can Survive.
Love me some Bocephus!

Your title is misleading. It does not answer the question.
Hank just tells it the way it is,and he doesn't give a s*** what anybody thinks! Hank is great!
Yes Hank Williams Jr will tell them what he think and Hank Williams Jr doesn't care about they think about him !!
AMEN💜💜💜💜
Hank 3 is cool too
Exactly this channel is super conservative and doesn’t need to be making videos about hank jr. And I’m sure he would say the same
When a person will say I don't care I become scared of their behavior, and fear for their soul in eternity. I'm a nobody but I want friends, I want love/respect not a bed partner, I want trust, I have hope because I care and believe in hope/Jesus.

If conservatives are anti-establishment, why do they ever run for office? Better yet, why do they run to get re-elected to office?

@@slaythembeforeme I agree Hank Sr is the best my second favorite is Waylon Jennings but Hank 2 and Hank 3 are good too

Hank still no.1 man God Bless Hank Jr & Sam his grandchildren , daughters
I have been a Hank Jr fan since I was a kid and I am 44 years old now ! All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight !
So many good songs of his weren't released as singles. His level of talent is really amazing. Few have that level.

Thanks for being one of my fan
I used to listen to WLAC during the nighttime up in Iowa in the early 1970s. They played great music. Great to hear Hank Jr. say he did the same.
Perhaps you can explain “White Rose Petroleum Jelly”
Yeah back in those days stations could crank up the wattage at night and really cover some space
There's a few guys ya don't wanna piss off in country music, waylon, cash, jones, and hank
Definitely more real country in those 4. Than ALL of so called country radio today
Since the 70's . Family Tradition is a favorite. Spent my 10th Wedding Anniversary at his concert in Lakeland Fl. 🤗
Wow that’s nice, I'm really much impressed with your words. I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this compliment
Used to go to shows there all the time back in the day. Is Bryant your maiden name? Just curious as I went to school with a girl named Connie.

I always loved the song-Eleven Roses by Hank Jr that came out in 1972,BUT, what drew me to Hank was "Family Tradition". When that song came out in 1979,(I was in High School) my School Bus was stopped letting kids off on a 2 lane Country Highway and a Convertible behind us with the Top down,had "Family Tradition" blasting. I hitchhiked about 7 Miles to a Peaches Records Store and bought the 45,and later that year-Christmas 1979,my parents bought me the 45-Whiskey Bent Hell Bound/OD'd in Denver, along with a Merle Haggard 8-Track of "Back to the Barrooms".
The conversation 🎵
Listened to the whole thing, and this was a good interview by Hank's standards. The interview started out talking hunting so that's probably why Hank stayed and didn't walk out.
Where can I listen to the whole interview
Couldn't agree more 25-30 years late
RIGHT ???
Hank is the man. His albums tell his story.
Hank Williams Jr is my son Zack Hammond country music singer idol in country music artists !!
Love Hank Williams Jr...love his ways & style,,
Thanks for being one of my fans it’s always a huge pleasure having time with you my lovely fans.
What a great interview of Hank!!
He's the man ;) tells it like it is..no bs
I’ve been a fan of Hank almost my entire life… and I’m 47.
I can still remember the very first time I ever heard him sing.
My dad played a song of his called “Eleven Roses”.
At like 9-10 yrs old, I was MINDBLOWN!!
I LOVE HANK JR!! ❤️❤️👍🏻
I'm the same age and I remember jr becoming big in the 80's ,I'm still a big fan.
@@78ramcharger53 YES, the 80’s was when he was on absolute 🔥!
@Big Papa Stovepipe Really? I wasn’t aware that he hated that song… huh. I just remember that being the first time I heard him sing. His voice just sounded so good. As far as my favorite Hank Jr song is concerned… it would probably be a tie between “Heaven Can’t Be Found”, and “Old Habits”.
Thanks for the info though… good to know. 👍🏻❤️
@Big Papa Stovepipe oh yeah, I agree. Pretty song, but definitely not the type of music that made him the artist WE LOVE. ❤️
I'm 46 and big a huge fan since the 80s. My older brother introduced me to bocephus.
I'll forever love hank jr he don't give a damn what the political people think
I love Hank jr. Thank you for still being you brother !!
Hank is a legend
I don't listen to much country but a hank is definitely one of those that I do listen to. I also love Marshall Tucker in the Allman Brothers. he was such a hell razor back in the day and it seems like he hasn't lost any of that
Hanks an incredible talented artist, and he'll be the first to tell ya.
And if you don't like it,you can kiss his ass....
Awesome interview I went to high school with a guy named Darrell Jackson in Millbrook Alabama his dad played with Hank Sr. and his family was good friends with Mearl Kilgore and Hank Jr. every time Hank would come into town to play in Montgomery he would always come and visit them he never would ever tell when he was coming saw Hank Jr in concert every time he came he came to Montgomery just thought I'd share that I always been so close but yet so far in my life lol
Thats badass!
The man,the legend,Hank Williams jr
I love listening to this crazy old ICON tell stories.
I was born in 1983 so I've been a Bocephus fan my whole life.
Man, I can honestly say Jr. was my 1st favorite ever since my mom was still tying my shoes.
We need a no BS musical hall of fame. Because artists like Hank Williams Jr., Lemmy Kilmister and Bon Scott are never going to get as much credit as they should. Also because it would be nice to have a hall of fame that is going to snub the flavor of the month acts that got into a hall of fame long before people like those three did.
Hank yiur rougher than a cob as my daddy would say, well so am i , i was a bully tamer growing up and proud to say i changed 47 bullies lives for the good after i spanked them boys i would publicly humiliate them i would tie them up on the 50 yard line of our football field or pitchers mound whstever the season about a half hour before kick off so if they would try to get the rope off it would pull there briches down to do so. They called me mr. Copper a bsck bone braker and a pure old bully whooper. Seen ya bunch in the 70,s and 80, back when beer was more than gasoline
You mean no LEFTIST LUNATICS
Lemmy!!!
Bon Scott is in as a member of AC/DC.
@@bloppysloppy4057 yes, although Bon was a good singer and performer in his own right
I'm so lonesome I could cry is my favorite song of his dad's. Sometimes I'll play it over and over listening to every word hank senior was the best singer song writer of all time to me. And that's a pretty big statement 👌.
Was lucky enough to see Hank in 2015. Favorite has to be Family Tradition!
Always had a lot of respect for Hank,because he's real,no BS real
I’ve been a fan of Hank since the early 80’s
He is what he is love him or hate him he wont and DONT kiss ass, gives you his 2c weather you like it or not. I love him for it.
First record I remember my dad buying was LUKE THE DRIFTER; a great education on how to look at life and the people in the world. Hank Jr is about 10 years my senior, so I remember him starting out. Remember hearing about how people put him down, "You'll never as good as your daddy," and I took offense! His dad named him and people should have respected that.
Bocefus could deliver those songs with a very similar voice but in his own style. His own early recordings are my favorites of all his works. Decent actor, too.
Midnight in Montgomery by Alan Jackson took me to a place. In 1981 I was stationed at Maxwell AFB and the morning before dawn of September 17th of that year I went up the hill to pay respects. A vase of flowers, the card signed simply "Bocefus" was on his grave. I knew it had to be a personal delivery because of who he is. Someone might have claimed a souvenir, but I couldn't touch it. Too much respect for both.
THE BEST! I love that the neighbor asked to point the cannon in another direction.
Hank is an American legend, i dont care who you are
I am glad I was watching this video while me kids were at work.
Hank has been my favorite for as long as I can remember. The father of 'Country Rock'!
Been listening to him my whole life. He is my distant relative... love him he is the best....
I've been a Hank Jr. fan
since "Cajun Baby"......
whatever year that was. A long damn time ago.🎻🎸
I like Hank Williams Jr. I saw him perform the night of his birthday. He probably was lit when he hit the stage. He said let's go back to the Hitchin' Post. He gave a great performance.
Hank Jr is a no BS kind of guy. Love him.
Because HE'S OLD SCHOOL 🎶🎶🎶🎶🇨🇦 LOVE YOU MAN 🇨🇦
His song, COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE, in my opinion, is the greatest country song ever.
You should have been in the hall of fame! Love me some Hank Williams sr and jr
That’s one of the funniest interviews I’ve ever heard. Typical Hank, Jr.
Thanks Lin!
