Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr Legacy (Week 3)

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…

Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr Legacy (Week 2)

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…

Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr Legacy (Week 1)

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…

Hidden Gems From The B-Side.. Life Side (Week 9)

Tonic 🎶 Head On Straight 🎶 Lemon Parade…

Hey yall… so I have two more great songs from Tonic for you…

“Head on Straight”
• Album: Head on Straight
• Year: 2o02

“Lemon Parade”
• Album: Lemon Parade
• Year: 1996

And here’s some cool facts about the band…

• The name “Tonic” comes from music theory — the tonic is the home note of a scale.. They chose it because they wanted their songs to feel grounded.. centered.. and real…

• “If You Could Only See” became one of the most-played rock songs of the late ’90s.. but the band actually thought deeper tracks like “Lemon Parade” better represented who they really were…

• Emerson Hart (lead singer) wrote many of their songs while dealing with personal struggles — addiction.. recovery.. and relationships — which is why their lyrics hit with that raw… honest edge….

• They turned down being over-polished… Labels wanted them slicker… but Tonic pushed to keep their sound emotional and imperfect — part of why they connect so well with listeners who love real feeling over radio gloss…

• They reunited after a long break because fans never stopped asking for them — and when they came back… they kept the same heart instead of chasing modern trends…

I hope you enjoy 😉 `.°~

Outlaw Roots — A Hank Jr. Series

Where My Sound Began…

Hey yall…
if you check my blog out at all… you already know how much music means to me…

Being a musician and a singer… I love all kinds of sound…
I’ve got influences everywhere — punk… rock… outlaw country… even rap…  Christian music.. of course… and more…
Throw it all in a blender and you pretty much get me… my sound…

But if I’m being real…
it all started for me with outlaw country…
with Hank Williams Jr… aka Bocephus…

Most people know him…
but they usually only know three or four of the big songs…
What a lot of folks don’t realize is — he has hundreds of songs that go even deeper than the famous ones…

To me… his music is pure art…
straight poetry…

And here’s the part that surprises people —
for a guy known for that raw… hard sound…
Hank Jr. wrote some of the best love songs I’ve ever heard…

I learned to play guitar from his music…
I learned to sing from his music…
I honestly know every single one 😁😎…

So… I’m starting something new…

Every Friday…
I’m going to feature one Hank Jr. song —
a weekly spotlight —
to help introduce people to the side of him most never get to hear…

When I really think about it…
he’s probably had more influence on me than any other artist…

His music is special…
and to most of the world…
it’s still a secret…
