@luiscountryhistory: Hank Williams Jr. on The Johnny Cash Show around 1970, was carrying on a tradition that began when he was just eight years old: performing his father’s music. By age twenty, Hank Jr. had already released twenty-one albums and scored eleven Top Forty country hits. The young man in this clip was already a seasoned entertainer—but he still wanted to step out of his father’s shadow and develop the country-and-rock sound that would become his signature. #HankWilliamsJr #HankWilliams #JohnnyCashShow #CountryMusicHistory #luiscountryhistory
