It's been a little while since we posted any Country Music and it just so happens I had a taste for some Outlaw Country last night. Around the time of this recording Hank Williams Jr.'s star was burning as bright as the end of a home grown roll in the country moonlight. Hank was crossing over into the mainstream quite a lot because Southern Rock was huge on Album Rock Radio stations. Before I retired I had this young redneck kid working for me that I really liked (and I say redneck having a family that came from Kentucky to Detroit for Auto assembly work so no hate). His parents named him Sawyer as in Tom Sawyer. He hated it. With no middle name to go by he started calling himself Bubba (truth!). He couldn't understand that Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, Pure Prarie League, and Hank Williams Jr wasn't played on Country Radio. The same way others his age can't imagine why they would be played on Rock Radio. So anyway here is a great look at Bocephus when even my Grandmother knew who he was.
