“This
year is going to be very special on New Year’s Eve,” says Hank Williams
Jr. “December 31st will mark the 60th anniversary of daddy’s death.
For years, I have not performed on New Year’s Eve in honor of my
father, but this year is a monumental year in the history of Hank
Williams. If daddy would have lived, he would have been 90 years old
this year. I hope Music City is ready to boogie woogie,
because Bocephus is going to bring the party to Nashville.”
