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…
