Product Overview
Hank Williams Jr. - Rich White Honky Blues (CD ALBUM (1 DISC)) Larger than life, capable of summoning "all his rowdy friends" with a couple crashing downbeats and a blaring guitar riff, Hank Williams, Jr. has been one of country music's truest outlaws for over half a century. But more than the swaggering singles, roughneck fantasy videos or relentless sense of blue-collar boogie, at his core, the 72-year-old legend is a bluesman. Pure, unqualified and unadulterated, the only son of Hank Williams has the same down low lonesome in his veins as the man Rufus "Tee-Tot" Payne taught to play guitar as a small child growing up in Greenville, Alabama.With Rich White Honky Blues –set for release on June 17 –the second-generation Country Music Hall of Famer makes good on his legacy with a turpentine and rough wood take on the hill country blues that informed his father's raw-boned style of putting his pain out there. GRAMMY-winning Producer of the Year Dan Auerbach recorded the set live, with a dozen songs reprising classics from Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, R.L. Burnside, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner and a few from Bocephushimself.
