About Hank Williams, Jr.:
With more than 70 albums to his credit, sales of 55 million records,
countless awards including 5-time Entertainer of the Year awards (ACM
& CMA), BMI Icon Award, a Grammy, and most recently in 2009 the
Academy of Country Music “Pioneer Award,” Williams is a living legend.
His discography chronicles a bold profile of growth from adored
offspring of a legendary father, to titan of the modern country rock
movement in his own right. For two decades, America came to its
collective feet each fall Monday night when this larger than life
superman of a musician looked into the camera and unleashed the national
anthem for viewers of Monday Night Football – ‘Are You Ready for Some
Football?’ Those simple words have won Williams an entirely new
generation of fans and given him the distinction of being the first
country performer to ever win an Emmy.
