The offspring of famous musicians often have a hard time creating a career for themselves, yet Hank Williams, Jr. is one of the few to develop a career that is not only successful, but markedly different from his legendary father. Originally, Hank Jr. simply copied and played his father's music, but as he grew older, he began to carve out his own niche and it was one that owed as much to country-rock as it did to honky tonk. In the late '70s, he retooled his image to appeal both to outlaw country...

The Robert Johnson of country, Hank Williams was a troubled visionary who hung around just long enough to change the face of American music forever. He added electric instruments and touches of Western swing and proto-rockabilly to the post-hillbilly sound of his idol Roy Acuff, writing a wealth of unforgettable tunes along the way. In the late 1940s and early '50s, Williams rose to fame with a series of these chart-topping hits, including "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Hey, Good Lookin'." Though...

Hank Williams Jr. spent years trying to duplicate his famous father's sound. But his greatest success came when he shook off that weighty mantle. Williams's new sound integrated country and southern rock, a formula that made him one of country's biggest stars of the 1980s. Down the line, he proved to be influential to a new generation of rebels like Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker.

Notes: This is Volume 4 of Curb's Bocephus series. WHISKEY BENT AND HELL BOUND is one of Hank Williams, Jr.'s best albums, with his lyrical persona as a hell-raising, rowdy redneck who likes girls, guns, and whiskey really coming into focus. This may or not explain why there are fewer covers here than usual, a nice exception being an excellent version of Greg Allman's "Come and Go Blues." Other highlights include "Tired of Being Johnny B. Good," in which Williams takes a courageous (if unexpected...
