🎶 Women I’ve Never Had 🎶 Heaven Can’t Be Found…
This week’s picks come straight from my lady’s heart — two of her favorite Hank tunes… she’s got good taste 😁
(I’ll admit, I’m partial to these also.)
🎶 Women I’ve Never Had — Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound (1980)
🎶 Heaven Can’t Be Found — Born to Boogie (1987)
Cool Hank fact:
Born to Boogie won CMA Album of the Year in 1987 — one of the rare times a true outlaw-style record got full industry respect…
Appreciate yall listening… have a heck of a weekend — let’s light it up 🔥 😎…

Hank Jr 🎶 If It Will It Will 🎶 I Don’t Care (If Tomorrow Never Comes)
Early in his career.. the label forced Hank to dress.. sing.. and act like his father..
He hated it…
After the 1975 fall that nearly killed him.. he came back changed — voice.. body.. spirit — and rebuilt himself around Southern rock.. country.. and outlaw truth.. That’s why his music from the late ’70s on feels free and feral — finally his own…
🎵 “If It Will It Will” (1991)
🎵 “I Don’t Care (If Tomorrow Never Comes)” (1981) (feat. George Jones) — originally one of his father’s songs from the 1940s…
He recorded many songs with friends over the years — the 2nd one below is with George Jones… Hope y’all enjoy…

Hank Jr 🎶 I’m For Love 🎶 Queen Of My Heart…
In 1975.. Hank Williams Jr.. fell more than five hundred feet down a mountain in Montana — an accident that nearly took his life and forever changed his voice.. his sound.. and his direction…
Out of that fall came a new Hank Jr — no longer living in anyone’s shadow… finally becoming his own man…
Years later.. the scars turned into songs… here’s two of them…
🎵 “I’m for Love” — 1985
🎵 “Queen of My Heart” — 1987
He didn’t just survive the fall —
he came back sounding like himself for the first time…
I hope yall enjoy… thank you for stopping by… have a great weekend…

Hank Jr 🎶 My Name Is Bocephus 🎶 Paying On Time…
Hey yall… welcome to my world
The time has come — let’s kick this series off right
Country music
Hank Williams Jr
Where do I even begin…
He’s a living legend
For me — he stands alone
He’s my strongest musical influence
His songs shaped me… made me the artist I am today
I’ve been listening since I was a young boy
He’s a mix of country… rock… blues…
He’s outlaw country
He’s art and poetry — in the form of sound
And with so many songs…
it was hard deciding where to start
So I chose these two
• “My Name Is Bocephus” (1986)
• “Paying On Time” (1979)
I hope you enjoy…
and thank you for listening
I hope yall have a great weekend…
