Biography
Randall Hank Williams (born May 26, 1949), known professionally as Hank Williams Jr., Bocephus or simply Hank Jr, is an American singer-songwriter and musician. His musical style has been described as a blend of rock, blues, and country. He is the son of country musician Hank Williams and the father of musicians Sam Williams, Holly Williams and Hank Williams III, and the grandfather of Coleman Williams. He is also the half-brother of Jett Williams.
Williams began his career following in his famed father's footsteps, covering his father's songs and imitating his father's style. Williams's first television appearance was in a December 1963 episode of The Ed Sullivan Show, in which at the age of fourteen he sang several songs associated with his father. The following year, he was a guest star on Shindig!.
As Williams struggled to define his own voice and place within the country music genre, his style began slowly to evolve. His career was interrupted by a near-fatal fall while he was climbing Ajax Peak in Montana on August 8, 1975. After an extended recovery, he rebuilt his career in both the country rock and outlaw country scenes. As a multi-instrumentalist, Williams's repertoire of musical instrument skills includes guitar, bass guitar, upright bass, steel guitar, banjo, dobro, piano, keyboards, saxophone, harmonica, fiddle, and drums. In 2020, Williams Jr. was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Early life
Randall Hank Williams was born on May 26, 1949, in Shreveport, Louisiana. His father nicknamed him Bocephus after a ventrilogust dummy used by comedian Rod Brasfield. After his father's death in 1953, Williams was raised by his mother, Audrey Williams.
While he was a child, Williams was influenced by contemporary musicians who visited his family and taught him various musical instruments and styles. Among his mentors or inspirations were Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Fats Domino, Earl Scruggs, Sonny Osborne, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Williams first stepped onto the stage and sang his father's songs when he was eight years old.
He attended John Overton High School in Nashville, Tennessee, where he would take his guitar to music class and play for pep rallies and performances with the choir.
Career
In 1964, Williams made his recording debut with "Long Gone Lonesome Blues", one of his father's many classic songs.
He provided the singing voice of his father in the 1964 film Your Cheatin' Heart. He also recorded an album of duets with recordings of his father.
Career changes
Although Williams's recordings earned him numerous country hits throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, he became disillusioned with the feeling he was living in his father's shadow and subsequently severed ties with his mother.
By the mid-1970s Williams began to pursue a musical direction that would eventually make him a superstar. While recording a series of moderately successful songs, Williams began a pattern of heavy drug and alcohol abuse. Upon moving to Alabama, in an attempt to refocus both his creative energy and his troubled personal life, Williams began playing music with Southern rock and Outlaw country musicians including Waylon Jennings, Toy Caldwell, and Charlie Daniels. Hank Williams Jr. and Friends (1975), often considered his watershed album, was the product of these then-groundbreaking collaborations.
On August 8, 1975, Williams was seriously injured while mountain climbing in southwestern Montana. While climbing Ajax Peak on the continental divide (Idaho border) west of Jackson, the snow beneath Williams collapsed and he fell almost 500 feet (150 m) onto rock, causing multiple severe skull and facial fractures. Williams spent two years recovering, re-learning how to talk and sing, and undergoing 17 surgeries to repair his skull and reconstruct his face. The accident was chronicled in the semi-autobiographical, made-for-television film Living Proof: The Hank Williams Jr. Story. To hide his scars and disfigurement from the accident, Williams grew a beard and began wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat.
In 1977, Williams recorded and released the albums One Night Stands

In 1982, he had nine albums simultaneously on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, all of which were original works and not compilations. In 1987–88, Williams was named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association. In 1987, 1988, and 1989, he won the same award from the Academy of Country Music.

There's a Tear in My BeerSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracksAThere’s a Tear in My Beer2:53BYou Brought Me Down to Earth3:31" was a duet with his father created using electronic merging technology. The song was written by his father, and had been previously recorded with Hank Williams playing the guitar as the sole instrument. The music video for the song combined existing television footage of Hank Williams performing, onto which electronic merging technology impressed the recordings of Williams, which then made it appear as if he were actually playing with his father. The video was both a critical and commercial success. It was named Video of the Year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music. Williams would go on to win a Grammy Award in 1990 for Best Country Vocal Collaboration.
He is well known for his hit "A Country Boy Can Survive" and as the performer of the theme song for Monday Night Football, based on his 1984 hit "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over TonightAll My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over TonightSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracks1All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight2:562Attitude Adjustment2:53".

He and Kid Rock also appeared in Wilson's "Redneck Woman" video. Hank also had a small part of Kid Rock's video "Only God Knows Why", and "Redneck Paradise".

Personal life

They were longtime friends before marrying.
His daughter Katherine Williams-Dunning owned a small clothing design company. She died in an auto crash on June 13, 2020, at age 27. Her husband was also in the vehicle and was injured but survived.
His grandson Coleman Williams (Hank III's son), is also a musician who performs under the sobriquet "IV".
Politics
Williams is a registered Republican and has been politically involved with the party for decades. In the 2000 U.S. presidential election, he rerecorded his song "We Are Young Country" to "This is Bush-Cheney Country". On October 15, 2008, at a rally in Virginia Beach for Republican presidential nominee John McCain, he performed "McCain-Palin Tradition", a song in support of McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin. He has contributed to federal election campaigns, mostly to Republicans, including Michele Bachmann's 2012 presidential campaign. However, he has donated to some Democrats in the past, most notably Jim Cooper and John S. Tanner.
In November 2008, Williams considered a run for the 2012 Republican nomination as a U.S. Senator from Tennessee for the seat held by GOP incumbent Bob Corker. Williams ultimately decided against it.
Williams declined to endorse a candidate in the 2016 Republican primary. However, he has since voiced support for Donald Trump, and attended an Alabama Crimson Tide football game alongside Trump and Kid Rock in September 2024.
2011 Fox and Friends controversy
In an October 3, 2011, interview with Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends, Williams discussed a June golf game where President Barack Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner had teamed against Vice President Joe Biden and Ohio Governor John Kasich, saying the match was "one of the biggest political mistakes ever". When asked why the golf game troubled him, Williams stated, "Come on. That'd be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu ... in the shape this country is in?" He also said Obama and Biden were "the enemy" and compared them to "the Three Stooges". Later, anchor Gretchen Carlson said to him, "You used the name of one of the most hated people in all of the world to describe, I think, the president." Williams replied, "Well, that is true. But I'm telling you like it is."
As a result of his statements, ESPN dropped Williams's opening song from its Monday Night Football broadcast of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus the Indianapolis Colts, and replaced it with Ken Block and Andrew Copeland of Sister Hazel singing the national anthem.
Williams later said his analogy on Fox News was "extreme – but it was to make a point". Additionally, Williams said he has "always respected the office of the president" but felt the golf game showed indifference to the plight of regular Americans. ESPN later said it was "extremely disappointed" in Williams's comments, and pulled his opening from that night's broadcast.
Three days later, ESPN announced Williams and his song would not return to Monday Night Football, ending the use of the song that had been part of the broadcast on both ABC and ESPN since 1989. Williams expressed defiance and indifference on his website, and said he was the one who had made the decision to remove his song from the sports broadcasts. Williams's son, Hank Williams III, stayed neutral in the debate, telling TMZ.com that most musicians, including his father, are "not worthy" of a political discussion.
After his song was pulled from Monday Night Football, Williams recorded a song criticizing Obama, ESPN and Fox & Friends, titled "Keep the Change". He released the track on iTunes and via free download at his website. There were over 180,000 downloads in two days.
Williams continued to make his opinions of Obama known and during a performance at the Iowa State Fair in August 2012, he called Obama a Muslim telling the crowd, "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"
