    May be unpopular but "If the South Would've Won" is a fun Hank song, praising southern culture.

    Hank had a close friend in New York that was murdered for the small amount of cash he had on him. He mentions it in his song Country Boy Can Survive..

    Here's another fun fact for you, Jr.'s fathers name, known as "Hank Williams," is actually Hiram King "Hank" Williams. There was never an actual Hank Williams. He also went under the moniker "Luke The Drifter" because the record label believed his music was too morbid and sad during the early stages of his career. As for Hank Jr.'s drinking days, he notes that he's in "the wine and cigar stage of life now." His wife, Mary Jane Williams, and yes, that's her actual name, clarifies, "it's been a long time since I woke up to a Jim Beam bottle on the front lawn." #Legend
    Here's another recommendation, "Too Dumb For New York City, Too Ugly For L.A." by Waylon Jennings

    • @RockN2Country
      @RockN2Country  6 років тому

      That's good stuff about Hank and his wife, especially the part about not waking up to a bottle of Jim Beam ON THE FRONT LAWN!! Haha!! Great mind picture. As for Waylon's song, with that title I'm moving it to the top of the list. Thanks for the recommendation!

    This song is so true. I grew up on 2.5 acres on a paved country road. Played in the swamp as a kid and traded wild onions, dandelions and pinecones with my brother in our make-believe "country stores".
    My sister moved to NY to work for Martha Stewart over a decade ago and we visited a couple times. I couldn't stand it! Made me crazy and sick with all that nasty concrete. That air even smells different and feels thicker. So oppressive.

    Why would you think that New York city wouldn't be Hell to someone that lives in the country and loves fishing and hunting?

    • @RockN2Country
      @RockN2Country  5 років тому +1

      It would be hell for someone who loved the country, but Hank spent time in NYC so he had some enjoyment there, if only for some of the people and performances before he got the heck out.

    • @shawnj1966

    • @shawnj1966
      @shawnj1966 5 років тому +1

      Hank spent time in a lot of places he wouldn't want to spend eternity in. So have I. Doesn't mean I didn't have a good time there, it just means that I don't want to be there for a long period! When Hank was in those places he had money and fame and was sheltered from what the majority of folks that live there are. Staying at five star hotels with room service and round the clock security while waiting to play a gig or make an appearance doesn't mean you wouldn't think that sucked when where you want to be is on a lake or out in the woods.

    FUN FACT.......
    *Hank Jr was born in Louisiana but was raised in Alabama. After going on tour for a few years, he wanted to build a home and have roots. He looked at a map and picked the town that was half way between Nashville and Montgomery... Cullman, Al. He still has a home and property in Cullman, and a hunting lodge in Troy, Al with many, manny acres of Hunting land. 😁
