Hank recently had yet another set back recently, the loss of his wife. Prayers for Hank.

I'm glad someone on KZfaq is giving hank Williams Jr the respect he deserves

Bocephus was kind of like a hero to me growing up, especially in my teens. I saw him twice in concert and it was amazing. I am so sorry that he lost one of his daughters and his wife. I cannot fathom what he has gone through. He was pretty much the one that started Rock and Roll Country music in my opinion and I thank him for that. God Bless.

Thank you for this tribute. Hank is one of a kind. No one will ever take his place. I lost my son the same time he lost his daughter. And now his wife of over thirty years has been suddenly taken away. I just keep praying for him and Sam that God gives them the strength to heal and carry on.💕

You can't fill someone's else's shoes,you have to find your own way in this life. My mom loved Hank Sr. Music ,and I love Hank Jr's music. I'm not sure he would have the fame he has if he tried to stay in his daddy's lane. Proud to be a Hank Jr aka Bocephus fan💕

I'm so glad you mentioned "Standing in the shadows". That's one of my absolute favorite songs of his.

So happy Jr. Didn't follow in his father's footsteps. I need his father's music for sitting on the porch, and his music for going out with the boys.

I love me some Hank William’s Jr. Can’t believe he just lost his wife. So much pain in his life, so much loss. God bless him.

Country Boy Can Survive! Incredible life. What a legend!

I started listening to Hank Jr. in tech school at Chanute AFB Illinois in 1984. Condolences to him and his family over the loss of his wife.

This is no Tragic story! He is a success story! Wealth, Talent, Family man. And he's living.what else can a person ask for.

He's the MAN OF STEEL, who helped remind us, we all get melted down. Im a die hard Rocker, 56 years old. I own 2 Country music CDs. Hanks greatest hits #1, and #2. Thats all I need. Long live Hank.

As a Cuban American I love Hank Williams Jnr’s Music. I’m so glad he’s still around.

A country boy can survive ! I live it everyday for decades now and raised my boys that way Hank gave hope and drive to more than he'll ever know , when I had nothing I made it a goal to have a shotgun a rifle and a 4 wheel drive now I have a collection of all three and great life. Thank you Hank !

He has definitely been through a lot in his life . And I am very sorry about the death of his wife recently . My condolences goes out to the Williams family . 💖

Hank 3 was awesome too! I miss that dude’s music. Whatever happened to him? Come back Sheldon!

One of the best Country Legends in Country Music.😇 Thats awesome that another Country Legend Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash was by his side after his fall, and helped him after as well as the great Waylon Jennings!❤️😇

Hank Williams Jr is so great my all-time favorite country singer I like that story and history of Hank Williams Jr

I was so impressed with this documentary. I've been the #1 fan of HWJR since 1981; at least with respect to his music and talents,.so I didn't think I'd learn anything new but did. Thought that I'd never be a fan of an artist like that again until Morgan Wallen came along. One thing I don't remembering you hitting on, but you may have, was that in 1974 when he attempted suicide, the divorce to his first wife, mother of Sheldon, aka Hank III, was very devastating for him, and that album he was working on in 1975 Hank Jr and Friends was so eery in some ways knowing what occurred next. There was a song that he wrote about him going on a trip to Montana and just taking his boots and jeans along and that he wished she could go but knows she can't , and then there was his cover of Toy Caldwell's "Can't You See" where there is a lyric that he's going to "climb a mountain; the highest mountain; going to jump off; ain't nobody going to know", and then a few months later he fell off Ajax Mountain in Montana.

Hank, Jr. is one of my favorite singers ever. This was a very well put together video, very informative.

Spent a lifetime listening to HWJr and he was the definition of country for me, im more of a Hank3 fan bc i love metal too but i started out with ol Hank jr and Sr, its family and its tradition.

I remember him being on the radio/tv a lot when I was very little in the 80s. I became a big fan of Hank the Third in college and really got into outlaw country and Hank Williams Sr. I've really come to appreciate his 70s/80s style in the last few years and I had no idea he had such a powerful life. Great music.

I’m 19 and went to my first concert in October and seen hank and damn it was good

this just popped up on my home page. i met Hank Jr back around 1980 or 81, in Lorton, va, at the home of Donna Dixon, who later married Dan Ackroyd, anyway, I was close friends with Donna’s sister, Sherrie, and she introduced me to Hank, who was in their pool in the back yard. He told me to go and get a bathing suit and join them but i had no idea who he was, even though I knew who Hank Sr was. I didnt put 2 and 2 together. i was only 18 or 19 and didnt know much about country music at the time. So i went home and told my mom, who sang at the Dixon’s “Hill Billy Heaven” time to time, about this and she was shocked that i didnt know who Hank Jr was and missed a great opportunity to get to know him better.

Hank Jr. ..came to South Carolina several years ago n that was the best concert I have attended 🙏

I've been listening to Hank Junior since I was a teenager and I'm 60 years old now mr. Williams has been my idol I would love to shake his hand keep Rockin Bocephus👊🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸

I am a Hank Williams Jr Fan and always will be.

Hank Jr. Is absolutely my favorite country singer of all time . He made country music what it is today . Honestly his music will always be the best. Plus I always wanted to party with him .

I saw him in 1969, Cobo Hall Detroit with the Original Drifting Cowboys. Johnny Cash, June Carter and the Carter Family were on the bill too. Jr was decked out in a pink and black suit, and he sounded great. Let me tell you, even at that age he was an accomplished instrumentalist too. He made his daddy proud, no doubt of that and he did it on his own terms.

Country folk can survive!! 🇺🇸💪💯

I am glad they mentioned that first album here and not just his first single. I love that album!!

Fascinating and informative short Biography. HW Jr. is a Country Music Icon and as Elvis would say…..HW Jr “I Did It My Way”! Deserves all the accolades he’s and earned, and others he did not receive! Thank you HW Jr. for being yourself, love your music brother!!

I tells you all about the amazing thing that he was a big part of our lives!!!!!! From Grandma to Grandpa!!! And then the rest of the family and friends!!!!!!!!" We all love the way he sings!!!! And then the way his songs relate to our lives exactly 💯!!!!!!!!!!?" And I will always love to listen to his music and he will always be a part of my family's favorite music and his lifestyle is the same way as ours!!!!!!??? He's up there with Elvis whenever it comes to music!!! I couldn't imagine life without Hank Jr and his music!!!!!!!!?? God bless you all today 🙏 Shalom

I saw him and Chris Stapleton. And Chris was the open. Obviously. Hell of a couple shows. Glad to of have the honor to experience that.

I got to meet hank on my way back home when I was in Alabama on a hunting trip back at the start of February

Hank Jr has always been one of my faves along with Waylon. That's just good music.

I met, and chatted briefly with, Hank Williams when I worked at Steven's Aviation at the Nashville airport in the mid-nineties. Nice guy.

Hank Jr.'s song "If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie",although not mentioned in this piece,is one of his best(and my favorite Hank Jr. song as well).

Just the way life went for me I was into Senior and the 3rd before just recently getting into Junior. Hell of story, thank you for telling it! 🙏🏻

Family full of talent and Hank III is carrying that torch well.

I've always loved listening to Hank Williams, Jr. I didn't know that he had felt like he had to sing his daddy's songs all the time, and that it nearly drove him to suicide. I'm glad he sought treatment and the Dr told him the truth as to how it was up to himself to play/sing his own choice of music and songs! I knew he was nearly killed during the climbing process, and thankful he survived to produce more wonderful music. I hate it that he's been through so much tragedy in his lifetime. I've heard God doesn't give you anymore than you can handle. Hank, Jr has handled himself very well, coming back from each event to be stronger, and continues performing today!

One of the greats! He persevered thru it all and that’s incredible all by itself. You do such a great job at covering these artists and really paint them in a positive light. Thank you for all you do!

😀 I never get tired of listening to Hank's music

Huge Hank Williams Jr fan. Thanks for everything

Nothing tragic about being gifted a country career and taking it to another level.

My all time favorite! His concerts are legendary ❤

up in heaven, Hank Williams Sr is still very proud of Hank Jr for what he has done

Hank jr , GOAT of THE GOAT !!! Thank you bocephus for my growing up memories with your songs.

Too many Great songs from this Man , he is a gift to us all .

Hank Jr is the greatest country singer in my eyes I like this daddy too but he'll always be my favorite country singer thank you for all the years of music Hank me and my daddy always liked you

Just went to his concert in Billings and it was great… crazy how good he still is

Love that John and June were there when he woke up. That’s awesome.

I love hank Williams songs he's a legend in country and gospel music RIP Hank Williams 😢 🙏

He changed my life, Bocephus. His music helped carve me into the man I wanted to be. A big part of that carving, is to be nice to everyone but never let someone walk on you, because once they take something, they keep trying to take more.

Have seen Hank Jr twice in concert & never disappointed,his songs & story are what country music is rotted in,like him or not,doesn't matter,you can't deny his status as a country music icon & his music speaks to the common blue collar hard working American

After losing my wife ,I feel for him ,I find myself crying at night missing my soul mate

Hank Williams Jr is my favorite country western singer

He rules in my heart

My friend don't ever give up I think a lot of you and your Dad you both had verry good music thank you and your Dad

PRAYERS FOR HANK WILLIAMS JR HE HAS LOST HIS DAUGHTER AND HIS WIFE GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Living legend that pretty much nails it 100%

He has the same first name I have ..and we have something in common lol love his songs always liked to hear his dad sing just had that voice for country hank junior is my hero like all his songs wish I could meet him and shake his hand he is one of the greats in my book

I was born in 95. That being said. He should have been in the hall of fame long before I was born.

Hank Williams was a great man because he wasn't afraid to die. Hank Williams jr. Is a greater man, because he's not afraid to live! Love to both men! 👍👍🌟🌟

Hank Sr is still out there in our hearts 💕. His son Jr is still an amazing singer even through his ups and downs throughout his life. Their music is still out there being listened to. "Blues Man" tells so much about both of them. Love them to this day 💕 💗

Love Hank jr and his music!!!!

Weather man . Got to be one of the best songs ever

Hank Jr... the very best in country music!

Thanks for putting this out. I maybe a Metalhead, but even I know how important Bocephus is. This is the first time, I found out more about his Mountain Fall.

Prayers,God bless you

I have been a fan since the late 60s !

He's went through some tough and rough times but He's a success.

He's one of the greatest but I still love his first single hit 11 roses that has been y signature song from since I was a young man my grandma introduced me to that

You the Man Hank! I enjoyed this review thank you...

He was due to appear in Omaha. My boyfriend was in the audience. Audrey came out on stage in a 💚 dress and annouced that Hank had passed away . Very sad New Years.

Great singer!

I actually live about 3 blocks from the restaurant in Bristol where Hank Sr had his last meal. It's called Burger Bar and they serve really good food. Prayers to Jr. The living legend...

Been my favorite singer since the late 70's when I got back into real music, prayers Hank Jr!!!

A lot of people will knock Hank Jr for those early days, but man his voice doing those traditional country songs like Last Love Song, Pride's Not Hard to Swallow, and Eleven Roses was absolutely phenomenal once he got around 20-21 years old and he came to full maturity.

I love Hank he is a legend.

I met Mr Williams once and he is a very kind man. Or at least he was to me.

Great Singer.

He's a gentle sweet man. I should know. I've seen him over and over

Thank you, I really enjoyed this!

Hank Jr is the best of the best

my mom has a picture of my late daddy and it looks so much like Bocephus to me, which is awesome because im a huge fan of Hank jr

It's really fascinating listening to Hank Jr., he definitely inspired a lot of modern country music. You can really tell this from watching some of his old concert videos, he was definitely mixing elements of Rock music, like a lot of later country artists did.

Cant remember the name of it, but i saw his life story as a boy, and damn that was the saddest, most tragic show i ever saw. He sang the most heartfelt song in that too. What a triumphant legend of a man. I have been a fan ever since.

I love me some Hank Jr!!!

Thank you Hank Williams Jr.!!!

Love you hank jr I listen to you in high school in the 80 s

Legendary family. Love Hank jr.

This man has many talents !

MR HANK WILLIAMS JR IS THE GREAT COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER EVER AND HIS SON MR HANK WILLIAMS 3 IS ALSO THE GREATEST COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER IN HIS CAREER

Always liked him.

Legend, 'nuff said!
