- Delve into the dynamic history of Hank Williams Jr., who, like his famous father, created a distinctive and influential sound, wrote enduring, widely loved songs, and, with the announcement of its 2020 class, became a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
After Hank Williams’s death in 1953, Hank Jr. was raised by his mother, Audrey Williams, and quickly began following in his father's musical footsteps. He performed his first concert at age eight, and at fourteen, released his first album, featuring covers of his father’s songs.
As he matured, Hank Jr. began writing his own songs and merging his broad musical interests. His Southern rock album breakthrough, “Hank Williams Jr. & Friends,” released in 1975, displayed a bold blend of country, Delta blues, and country rock, and drew acclaim from critics and younger fans.
Williams shaped a bold public persona and a musical style that influenced generations of country singers, earning twenty-one gold and platinum albums and a long list of significant hits, including “Family Tradition,” “All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down),” “A Country Boy Can Survive,” and “There’s a Tear in My Beer,” a digitally created duet with his father.

Hank deserved to be up there long before the 2020s but I'm glad he's finally being recognized for his incredible talent. I've been listening to him pretty much all my life.
I was thinking they had criteria like the musician needed to be active for 40 years or something but I just googled and it's only ten years
Plus come to think of it Sr was only 29...yea have to agree..why did they wait till 2020 for HW2??
Hank Jr. is a Legend and his induction to The Hall of Fame was way overdue. The man has been performing and making music for 60 years. LEGEND
Hank Jr. is not only one of the best country music singers of all time, but is one of the best song writers that's ever walked this earth. A true living legend. Congratulations Hank!
I want to thank Hank Jr for the flowers he sent to my uncle Mack Vickery's funeral. He sure loved writing songs for Hank.
The KING of Outlaw Country.
A bit late to the party, but at least you did it while he was alive.
There are rumors he never wanted to go in which he part of the reason for the long wait.
Hank Jr. is a legend in his own right. 10 times better than the others making a living off Hank Sr. name.
Damn right! A country boy can survive! Give em hell Hank!
Yes about time. Deserved to be in 2 or 3 decades ago. Growing up in the late 70s and throughout the 80s very few artists spoke to me like Hank. Still putting out great music, putting on great shows and writing most of his own material. So glad to see the recognition of the Hall of Fame. "I Live the kind of life that most men only dream of".
There's absolutely no reason why he should not have been in there in 1988,. If you look at his career until 1984 and look at the other people's in the hall of fame, his career blowing their's away Look at his entire body of work to that point. His career was amazing You could not hardly ever get a ticket if you waited A-day. The guy would blow the crowd away playing every instrument Shooting guns and just plain having a great time with the crowd. I hope to God I can see him soon with my only daughter. In my opinion ,GOAT
How long Hank has been doing this he shouldve been in 20-25 years ago, better late than never.
About time he deserves it.. a true legend and a icon one of my favorites Hank Williams Jr forever
I wish he could have been at an induction ceremony, but due to COVID (maybe other reasons) he wasn't, it's a slap in the face of the legendary BOCEPHUS.
Who? What are you talking about?
Congratulations to Hank Williams Jr for making the hall of fame,he is the country music G.O.A.T
The best concert I've ever witnessed was Hank here in Billings, Montana. The real deal........Ole Hank really did it this (his) a way! Congrats Hank!!
Bocephus doesn't need the hall of fame. The hall of fame needs Bocephus.

I have grew up listening to Hank Williams sr and then I grew up listening to Hank Williams Jr and he should have been in the hall of fame long time ago but I am glad he is there now
This man has been a life long Hero of mine, it’s good to see him finally achieve this
About time is all I can say. Way overdue.
Now can you get the Killer- Jerry Lee Lewis in the Hall while he's still alive ?
How about the 1940s Bailes Brothers, Johnny & Jack, Molly O'Day, songwriter Albert E. Brumley, Sam Luvello - the Hee Haw producer, WSM announcers Hairl Hensley and Eddie Stubbs. Mickey Gilley nightclub in Urban Cowboy. Tanya Tucker, the Bluegrass-Osborne Brothers, Johnny Paycheck and Ralph Mooney a Steel Guitar player for Buck Owens, Waylon Jennings and the guy who wrote Crazy Arms.
So proud of my HankJr.
Now let's get Merle Kilgore aka " Brother of the Road" in there also! He was with Hank for it all. Hank was trained by the best to become our greatest performer, mission accomplished.
Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊 Hank Williams Jr you deserve this💕💗💞❤️💞❤️💋💕💗🥰🤗 love from Ohio Irene

Long overdue but I’m glad that he went in with such an awesome group of artists. My first concert was a Bocephus concert, I’ve seen him many times since and he never disappoints
A long time coming.

THE MAN.
Prima 🎧🎧 Country

This affirmation of Hank Jr's success is much deserved, and a whole lotta years late, cuz that man had earned this long ago....#BocephusFan
Love me some Hank Jr.
He was hiking, not hunting when he fell down Ajax Mountain. Clearing his mind for his upcoming tour.
HANK I NEVER SEEN THESE PICTURES OF YOU..
About time way to go Hank
Do you have Hank Williams Jr's unedited Austin City Limits performance from 1980? It has the Austin City Limits Season 5 opening sequence.
Bout F. Ing time loved ya for years
Só top Boa tarde beijoo
Finally!!! 🤠
You da Man!!!
Shame on the CMA for taking so damn long to honor this man! You (CMA folks) are despicable human beings and held out on this LEGEND on purpose! You are lucky he even showed up. Y'all aren't even fit to shine his boots! Congratulations Mr. Williams! God bless you!
I'm not defending them but for plenty of years Hank didn't care if he went in or not so that played part in it also.
Finally! 🖤
Kids of yesterday sound more adult than today.
Yesss less gooo
Should have told them to stick it
Bout time. Now it's time to get Keith Whitley in there.
No one will ever come close to the country stars of today and yesteryear.. country ain't like country use to be.
Ol' Bocephus was just being nice... He should have told em he'd think about it and put them off for 20 years like they did him... He didn't need their plaque... His successful career speaks for itself.
No offense to grandpa but Hank 3 is the king of real country music..
I'm like Hank 3 but unfortunately he won't be immortal like Hank Sr and Hank jr
@chadjustice8560 Maybe it won't be in the mainstream circles, but it will definitely be in the underground circles, which is much more important, at least for me..
To much politics in country music Hank Jr made country music great again.
Bocephus 👍
Ok.
Now Tanya Tucker.
Now Gene Watson
Took you long enough
I thought he was in already
It’s about damn time, 30 years to late . I guess it’s better than never. I hope he played you can keep the change and mind your own business at the acceptance speech.
I get the honor,but im not sure if i was him if i wouldnt tell them that i deserved it decades ago and would want to know why i was past up each and every year.I have my ideas and could be wrong but it makes since.
Honestly,. Dude,. I’m One of your biggest fans,. But I gotta tell you,. I think you look so different it’s just kinda weird for me hearing your voice coming out of a different face!!! Ha! Not the looks so much,. Just that for me who’s only known you after 1975,. Just odd for me! But either way,. You Still The Goat!!!
How could those clowns in Nashville not put this guy in years ago! They are beginning to emulate the Rock and Roll HOF, liberal!
Rumor is Hank didn't want to go in because the way they treated him years ago.
Blows me mind that a man named dick willy saved him. Imo that's his fake name so ppl leave him alone
Edit: they've left out and HWJ is southern representation, they left out his drunken spells
