Hank Williams Jr

Day 1 of the biggest country music festival in America included sets from Big & Rich, Hank Williams Jr., Rascal Flatts and more.

Hank Williams Jr. took the stage at 2015 WE Fest wearing a black hat with the word "ICON" inscribed on the front. During his time onstage, he showed attendees that yes, he is truly an icon in country music.

Fans filled nearly two city blocks to hear Hank Williams, Jr. sing his hits during the NRA Country Jam on Friday night (April 10). Lower Broadway in Nashville was shoulder-to-shoulder from 6th Ave. to Honky Tonk Central on 4th Ave., and the crowd arrived early.

The inaugural American Country Countdown Awards just got a lot more star power.

A Michigan man has died after being assaulted at a Hank Williams, Jr. concert on Sunday (Aug. 17). The victim, 55-year-old Robert Kobe, was pronounced dead Tuesday (Aug. 19) following the incident.

The superstar lineup at the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival just got bigger with the addition of Hank Williams. Jr. Eric Paslay, Leah Turner, the Cadillac Three and Jamie Lynn Spears have also been added to the June 13-15 camping and country music festival at Hunter Mountain.

Controversy over SeaWorld has been rocking the boat both socially and in country music, and while some artists have declined to play at the park's events, others are on the other side of the pool.

Join me Sunday morning at 11 a.m. for the Country Classic Spotlight.  This week we are featuring the music of Hank Williams Jr.

The 2012 CMT Awards, which took place tonight (June 6), were too big for the auditorium, metaphorically speaking. Therefore, the live duet of ‘I’m Gonna Get Drunk and Play Hank Williams,’ performed by Hank Williams Jr. with an assist from Brad Paisley, was too much to be contained by a venue with a roof, so the superstars performed it outside. What a treat for fans!

Hank Williams Jr. has been one of my favorite country musicians since I was a kid, and even though he has faced a bit of controversy in the last year, I'm still a big fan. I can't wait for his new album 'Best of Hank Williams Jr.' and his tour which kicks off next Saturday March 3rd.

Count Jason Aldean as one Hank Williams Jr. fan who understands his peculiarities. The ‘Tattoos on This Town’ singer says that the country legend’s sudden departure from the stage during the CMT taping of their ‘Artists of the Year’ duet on Tuesday night was surprising, but not offensive.

During last night’s taping of CMT’s ‘Artist of the Year’ celebration, Hank Williams Jr. walked off the stage without explanation during a live performance of ‘Tattoos on This Town’ with one of the night’s honorees, Jason Aldean. Later, he tried to explain through his management team that he didn’t feel he was doing the song justice.
