A country music legend. His career was started in 1957 at the age of 8 and has been going on since then throughout his whole life. He has
56 studio albums, 25 compilation albums, and 25 music videos. His daddy passed when he was 3 on January 1st, 1953 from an overdose on pills and alcohol. His
father, one of the
top country artists of all
time, influenced his career more than any other artist. His
mother, Audrey Williams, also a singer, had little bocephus singing his
father's songs as that is what people wanted to hear due to his
dad's untimely passing and his legendary, goosebump giving lyrics. Usually referred to as Jr. by people who know his
dad, Jr. reached his peak popular culture-wise in the
mid to late 80s, although some would argue his talents songwriting-wise have only improved since then. Hank was born down in Shreveport but has lived in places such as Alabama,
Kentucky, and the great state of Montana. Hank has gone through a lot, which has shaped his personality and style of playing, events such as sr. dying, falling off Ajax mountain down on the Idaho-Montana border, and most recently, his daughter passing away. These things have shaped him not only as an artist but a person. Regardless of everything that has happened, he is still one of the best to ever do it.
