Hank Williams, Jr. is also known as Randall Hank Williams and he goes by the nickname Bocephus. Yes he is the son of the legendary Hank Williams, but Hank Jr. is a huge talent on his own. He started off his career following in Hank Sr’s footsteps and often imitated his father’s style and songs.
He had a near fatal fall off of Ajax Mountain in 1975 and lost his eye. The fall was 442 feet down the side of the mountain and his skull was split open. He had to learn to speak and sing again….and the good news for us is that he made a comeback.
Some of you may only know Hank Jr. as the singer on Monday Night Football, but the rest of us know him as the country boy who can survive.

These songs remind me of growing up in the Rio Grande Valley. Thanks!
