7:30 - Tear in my Beer is one of the earliest songs I can remember as a little kid. My late Grandfather was a HUGE Hank Williams Sr. and Jr. fan. He died in 1997, but in 2009 I found an old cassette tape with Hank Williams songs on it. I put it on and in the middle of the tape and right after Tear in my Beer, is my Grandfather speaking and leaving an undated message. It was like he was back and we were listening to Hank songs!
Ive been hearing Bocephus since before i can remember and ive been lucky enough to see this living legend in person several times. There wont be any more like this man when hes gone. Enjoy him while hes here.
Hank Williams Jr has always kept it real. I've loved and listened to your music since I was young, 10-11 years old. Listen now. You are my families tradition. Now and forever. I love your honesty, your attitude, and the love you have for your family and friends. You are the best.
Hank ,is like asking any old timer any question. U gonna be there for a min. Then u forget what the hell u asked,and just go with the story.. I love it.. he is just like an old man from the south
Hank Jr is the man he's the last of a dying breed for sure I would give anything to sit and listen to Hank Williams just talk man the story he could tell
HWJR & I have been friends for a lot of years. We loved to go deep sea fishing, eat good food and drink a lot. Loved HWJR forever. Can't wait for the summer in Apalachicola, this year. So cool, so much fun let"s roll!!
Bocephus ain't nothing but the truth. He's an American treasure and most folks don't recognize him. I have nothing but love and respect for the man, the myth, and the legend
Best to keep him as a myth and a buried treasure. Anyone who makes an icon of himself being a drunken, dirty, redneck, overfed slob needs all the pity he can muster. HWSr. would be embarrassed.
I got nothing but love for Hank Jr. He’s a hero of mine. I just saw him in Des Moines Iowa in concert. But watching this video kind of hurt my soul. I was raised better, no matter my pain, or age. I’ll be respectful up until im pushed not to be. I too love cigars, a man of cigars should ensue relaxation.
i've loved his music since the 80's and this young guy clearly doesn't know his music and he's trying to be funny and failing at it but he's trying and i think he was too harsh on the guy. i've never seen him get up and leave an interview before i dunno maybe i'm wrong and he just was pissed off that day

@@slider9499able yes thank GOD for keeping his hands on Hank Williams Jr. when he fell off that mountain. GOD could have easily taken Hank Jr. out of this world but He didn't
These comments. 🙄 You can tell that I reign from a softer generation when a man who is visibly in pain following the loss of both his youngest daughter, and his wife of more than 30 years, upsets them by simply being ornery. He's a 72 year old man experiencing a level of grief that no human should endure at that stage in life. Not to mention, he survived a 540' foot fall down the Ajax mountainside, in which he survived by quite literally holding his own skull together. Of course he's going to seem a little incoherent and/or irrational. The fact that Bobby Bones almost instantly showed his hand when displaying his lack of knowledge of Hank Williams, Jr. is laughable enough. From mistaking a Hank Williams Sr. song as a Jr. original, to not knowing that one of Hank's most recognizable songs of all time is still performed in concert. Hank knows his audience, and neither Bobby Bones or those who listen to him are his fan base. This show is for the bedazzled skinny jean Luke Bryan crowd, and that is painfully obvious. "Rich White Honky Blues" is an album for the diehard listener, not the casual Walmart cowboy who thinks a lifted mall crawler of a pickup truck and some cheap water down beer makes them "country."
My thoughts exactly! Hank’s an old man now, dude’s been through a whole lot of pain and hurting, and he still kicks ass when he’s up on stage! I think these new blues songs he’s putting out sound great!
We just traveled across the country to see him 2 nights in a row. Billings and Deadwood. He put on great, almost 2 hour show. He seemed to be in a slightly better mood the first night. He was engaged and amazing. Better than when I saw him 20 years ago. Hank doesn't need to deal with this punky host.

After watching this, I was surprised Hank Jr didn’t get up and leave sooner. Bobby Bones was being a smart ass towards him and Hank Jr’s patience with it impressed me.

Hank is a very good person but This interview was harsh. He shouldn’t make Bocephus re live his trauma from the mountain. No wonder he wanted to walk out. Bobby do better.

Hank is Bocephus and the Greatest. You put on Hank, you light up the room and get people smiling. I’d love to meet him one day. Maybe cook a pig and have him join us. 👍🏻
What a fascinating individual! Initially on the radio interview I thought he was kind of a jerk.. but seeing this and hearing a different story.. he’s earned to be who he is. Mad respect
@@keithmorgan742 I think he can spot a hack right away seeing as how he has done millions of interviews and they always ask the same thing since 1975 he’s getting older I don’t blame him. And I’m pretty sure he is just joking around. I am a grumpy guy who if you saw me on the streets wouldn’t wanna talk to me but once you get to know I’m the absolute most annoying guy because I won’t leave you alone. I’m also not grumpy I just look grumpy. I think Hank has the same problem I do.
Love me some Bocephus. 45 years of listening to his music. Bones on the other hand makes me dearly miss Gerry House and Carl P Mayfield on the air. You can't fill those shoes.
IN the video featuring his 89 Double Eagle tour he talked about doing an all blues album useing the name Thunderhead Hawkins. THis was something in the making for decades. I cant wait for my signed CD to arrive.
The song All in Alabama is great one of my fav’s of anyone not just his. It’s off the album Habits Old & New I bought it at his gift shop in Tennessee the lady told me that’s a good one there. I knew it was that’s why I bought it I liked to wore it out.
Grew up on Hank and fired up to see his show this Saturday!! He is a legend!! I have never met the man but I bet he is much different if speaking to him one on one. He is real, and would probably rather be fishing or picking than sitting in another interview.
This country needs more of this, saying what's on your mind, period. Hank Jr played the game up until 1975 and it nearly killed him, they nearly killed him trying to make him into Hank Sr. When his Doctor told him he would be dead by 26, would beat his father to the grave if he continued, he changed things. Then he nearly died up on Ajax Mountain outside Wisdom, Montana. Hank Jr was left here for a very good reason, the greatest country, southern rock, blues, gospel, entertainer of all time. As he said, "I'm Bocephus call the music whatever you want too!" He may be a little rough for some of these sensitive P#&#%#S today, but he is the man, period. Thank you Hank for getting me through a lot of tough times.
I know every Hank Williams song,Senior and Junior,that’s ever been recorded.Heck,I even had Hank Jr’s first album,a house fire in 1993 got most of my records,but the oldest Jr I have that survived is the album from the movie “Your Cheating Heart “.Hank Jr can do it all,and has done it all.He’s worked his ass off in spite of what some folks think.
I have what I believe is his first recorded piece of music, "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" released on a 45 rpm single on the MGM label. I bought it in 1964 at Thrifty Drugs in Long Beach, California for 98c and couldn't wait for more music like it to follow. Unfortunately, none did. Subsequently, I bought the movie sound track album "Your Cheatin' Heart". My favorite cut is HWJr singing a partial rendition of "I Saw The Light", my # 1 favorite HWSr song. What happened to Hank Jr. after that I couldn't say, but his image and voice just deteriorated when he returned to music full time.
That new album of Hanks sure has some beatin' heart in it! Go give it a listen. After that I had to que up " you can't judge a book" New memories folks
Hank and Bobby are complete opposite’s, Hank is real old school country rock, Bobby is a nice guy but he is not country like the old school guys! I knew this was going to be oil and water when I heard Hank was going to be on here which I was surprised he agreed to be on this show to start with!
Love Hank, Jr's music, saw him in concert 3 times in my 20's. He is a super talented man but always so sort of hostile it seems, still love his music always.
I truly envy you got to see hank back In the day. I’m 28 and was always called an old soul, when it came to music especially. love hank jr. Finally am able to see him live on the 25 so excited
My thoughts are he’s going through a lot personally. With the sudden loss of his daughter and then his wife, that has to be almost too much to bare. I feel for him.
I love Mr. Hank Jr. I’m 44 but I’m an old school county fan….The only newer county artists I like are Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers. I admit I don’t have a clue who this guy Bobby Bones is but it’s clear he is not very knowledgeable on Mr. Hank Jr. and as for Hank being an asshole….aren’t we all sometimes assholes? Hank has been on my mind a lot lately especially since the passing of his wife Mary Jane. Hank and his family were already grieving the loss of his youngest daughter Katie. My heart truly aches for them all. For anyone not familiar with Hank Jr’s earlier work that often gets overlooked you need to check it out. It’s some of his best music IMO.
I wonder if the accident saved his life from the fast pace of living on the road? Hank is fit to be tied, lol! Hole in my bucket, Man of Steel! Hank has seen the light! You want the best out of Hank then you go to Hank's world! The man has lived, seen, and been through it all! He is, was, and will ever be free of any bs on HIS terms, this is what we call freedom. I would love to sip some jars with Hank up in that Montana/Idaho or Tennessee mountain land!
Hank is not just Country Music. He is Rock he is Blues he Country, He is southern rock. He is all of it.
So true

Hank is Bocephus and the Greatest. You put on Hank, you light up the room and get people smiling. I’d love to meet him one day. Maybe cook a pig and have him join us. 👍🏻
What a fascinating individual! Initially on the radio interview I thought he was kind of a jerk.. but seeing this and hearing a different story.. he’s earned to be who he is. Mad respect
No, you were right. Hank is a jerk.
@@keithmorgan742 A jerk that's off his tits on drugs
@@keithmorgan742 I think he can spot a hack right away seeing as how he has done millions of interviews and they always ask the same thing since 1975 he’s getting older I don’t blame him. And I’m pretty sure he is just joking around. I am a grumpy guy who if you saw me on the streets wouldn’t wanna talk to me but once you get to know I’m the absolute most annoying guy because I won’t leave you alone. I’m also not grumpy I just look grumpy. I think Hank has the same problem I do.
Good job Hank Jr, you are a supreme guy! Thanks for never sugar coating and being real.
This guy is real, honest and a treasure.
He's not here for anyone's BS. ❤
I love Jr, hes exactly like every other musician you meet. They're all a touch crazy.
Love me some Bocephus. 45 years of listening to his music. Bones on the other hand makes me dearly miss Gerry House and Carl P Mayfield on the air. You can't fill those shoes.
check out his MGM years his early 70's albums are some of his best Eleven Roses (1972) is one of my favorites of his
1 of the greatest to ever do it much respect forever
That right there is why I've been a hank jr fan since I was my son's ages ... 👊
HANK JR IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES !
IN the video featuring his 89 Double Eagle tour he talked about doing an all blues album useing the name Thunderhead Hawkins. THis was something in the making for decades. I cant wait for my signed CD to arrive.
Only the vinyl albums come with signature print just a print pre order cd doesn’t come with one
if it will it will Thats what got me listening to HANK back when i was 5 . god bless all the hank's
We love you Hank keep on singing🥰
A true Legend. America will never be the same when his generation is gone.
I haven't seen Ole Hank in years! I have to say, "he's aging well. Like a fine wine." As we say in SC lol
Hank is awesome he's like I said some shit that's true I'm out. Love that new album I ain't heard blues like that in a long time.
The song All in Alabama is great one of my fav’s of anyone not just his. It’s off the album Habits Old & New I bought it at his gift shop in Tennessee the lady told me that’s a good one there. I knew it was that’s why I bought it I liked to wore it out.
I grew up almost all this man concerts thanks 🙏 Hank
I grew up listening to his dad's music and his music he should make more music
Grew up on Hank and fired up to see his show this Saturday!! He is a legend!! I have never met the man but I bet he is much different if speaking to him one on one. He is real, and would probably rather be fishing or picking than sitting in another interview.
I will be there also Saturday night to see him in Simpsonville South Carolina!!
It should be a great show and I'm looking forward to it!!
Hank is cracking me up 🤣, GOAT!
Love Hank Jr one all time of all time greatest would love to meet him
he has told this story for decades if that is what you mean by "opens up".
Loves to talk about himself, his friends, and his daddy.
true but this young guy i doubt can name another song of his so maybe he hasn't heard it before
Well I gotta say the Legend Hank. Bobby stood right with him.
This country needs more of this, saying what's on your mind, period. Hank Jr played the game up until 1975 and it nearly killed him, they nearly killed him trying to make him into Hank Sr. When his Doctor told him he would be dead by 26, would beat his father to the grave if he continued, he changed things. Then he nearly died up on Ajax Mountain outside Wisdom, Montana. Hank Jr was left here for a very good reason, the greatest country, southern rock, blues, gospel, entertainer of all time. As he said, "I'm Bocephus call the music whatever you want too!" He may be a little rough for some of these sensitive P#&#%#S today, but he is the man, period. Thank you Hank for getting me through a lot of tough times.
Glad to see you,for sure missed,now that o see you.Just didn't know till i heard you speak,for your Real!!! Praise God🎶🎶🎶🎶🙃😁👍🇱🇷🇱🇷❤❤
been listen to this guy since 1989
True artists are hard to find, but they are still out there.
I know every Hank Williams song,Senior and Junior,that’s ever been recorded.Heck,I even had Hank Jr’s first album,a house fire in 1993 got most of my records,but the oldest Jr I have that survived is the album from the movie “Your Cheating Heart “.Hank Jr can do it all,and has done it all.He’s worked his ass off in spite of what some folks think.
What about Hank 3? Check it out
I have what I believe is his first recorded piece of music, "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" released on a 45 rpm single on the MGM label. I bought it in 1964 at Thrifty Drugs in Long Beach, California for 98c and couldn't wait for more music like it to follow. Unfortunately, none did. Subsequently, I bought the movie sound track album "Your Cheatin' Heart". My favorite cut is HWJr singing a partial rendition of "I Saw The Light", my # 1 favorite HWSr song.
What happened to Hank Jr. after that I couldn't say, but his image and voice just deteriorated when he returned to music full time.
The ultimate legend 🙌
That new album of Hanks sure has some beatin' heart in it!
Go give it a listen. After that I had to que up " you can't judge a book"
New memories folks
Hell yeah Hank ! Thanks for the backdrop on your influence
I follow Hank Jr. no matter who interviews him. Hank always comes out on top.
Hank demands all respect and deserves it ,ant got time for no crap.
Hank and Bobby are complete opposite’s, Hank is real old school country rock, Bobby is a nice guy but he is not country like the old school guys! I knew this was going to be oil and water when I heard Hank was going to be on here which I was surprised he agreed to be on this show to start with!
my same feelings. bocephus is old outlaw country and Bobby bones is new bubble gum country
@@theredneckshow6126 true
I could not agree more? Hank does not take no jive from some preppy looking country? Bumpkin.
This is why I’ve loved Hank for so long. He don’t beat around the bush. Say it like it is. This country needs more of that right now.
There's only one Hank Williams Jr. I'm not sure we could handle another one.
all in alabama feelin better dinosaur some of the best never released as a single
Absolutely ! Love American Way too !
living legend will never be topped
Love Hank Jr.
Love Hank, Jr's music, saw him in concert 3 times in my 20's. He is a super talented man but always so sort of hostile it seems, still love his music always.
He's been that way for a while now. Honestly, I just don't think he gives a damn about anything or anyone lol
I truly envy you got to see hank back In the day. I’m 28 and was always called an old soul, when it came to music especially. love hank jr. Finally am able to see him live on the 25 so excited
Yeah Hank is incredibly off-putting in interviews. This one is slightly worse than his normal interviews.
My thoughts are he’s going through a lot personally. With the sudden loss of his daughter and then his wife, that has to be almost too much to bare. I feel for him.
No he has always been kind of a jerk interviews,always. Like I said, I am a fan of his talent but as a person not so much
I love Mr. Hank Jr. I’m 44 but I’m an old school county fan….The only newer county artists I like are Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers. I admit I don’t have a clue who this guy Bobby Bones is but it’s clear he is not very knowledgeable on Mr. Hank Jr. and as for Hank being an asshole….aren’t we all sometimes assholes? Hank has been on my mind a lot lately especially since the passing of his wife Mary Jane. Hank and his family were already grieving the loss of his youngest daughter Katie. My heart truly aches for them all.
For anyone not familiar with Hank Jr’s earlier work that often gets overlooked you need to check it out. It’s some of his best music IMO.
I agree. I’m a big fan of his 70s and 80s music. His 70s music was gritty, and I loved it.
I'm feeling better now that I'm back on the road getting into is literally one of the best songs Hall in Alabama is one of my favorite ones
Priceless interview!
Got to see Hank Jr on the 13th of May, 2023!! Orange Beach, AL. It was awesome!!
Hank is the man!
Love Hank! 🇺🇸
What a legend so much respect for Dan hanging with the icon
Love hank seeing him this month in SC absolutely excited
This was funny as hell 🤣
I thought it was hilarious to. Classic Hank Jr! Lol
Bobby's always gotta smart ass on everyone and everythin it ain't to funny to see that bobby bitch fuckin with Hank for laughs and giggles
Love u Hank jr. U know where it comes from. People listen!
I wonder if the accident saved his life from the fast pace of living on the road? Hank is fit to be tied, lol! Hole in my bucket, Man of Steel! Hank has seen the light! You want the best out of Hank then you go to Hank's world! The man has lived, seen, and been through it all! He is, was, and will ever be free of any bs on HIS terms, this is what we call freedom. I would love to sip some jars with Hank up in that Montana/Idaho or Tennessee mountain land!
Amo Hank! Bellissimo video.. 😊😍😘🎸💘❤️💋💯🌄🍀
