Hank Williams was a legendary American country singer and songwriter, widely regarded as one of the most celebrated and influential artists in the country music field. Born on September 17, 1923 in Mount Olive, Alabama, USA, Williams wrote and performed iconic songs such as "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Hey Good Lookin'," and "I Saw The Light." Despite his untimely death at the age of 29 on January 1, 1953 in Oak Hill, West Virginia, USA, his impact on country music continues to resonate.

Throughout his career, Hank Williams had a profound influence on the genre with his heartfelt lyrics and distinctive voice. He was married to Audrey Sheppard from 1944 to 1952 before marrying Billie Jean Jones in 1952 until his passing. As a father to Hank Williams Jr., Jett Williams, and grandfather to Hank Williams III, Holly Williams, and Hilary Williams (son Hank III), he left behind a lasting musical legacy that spans generations.

In recognition of his immense talent and contributions to country music history, Hank Williams was posthumously honored with numerous inductions into prestigious halls of fame. In 1961, he became one of the three original members inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Additionally, he was welcomed into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970 and received induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 for his early influence

Hank Williams, Jr.’s sound has always been built on the blues and his latest album, Rich White Honky Blues, is a sonic testimony to that. The project came together over three hot days in Nashville, recorded live with the finest blues session players in the country at producer Dan Auerbach’s legendary Easy Eye Sound studio.

Never one to rest on his laurels, even after 56 studio albums, the acclaimed Country Music Hall of Fame member is still finding new creative ground to explore.
