Hank Williams, Jr.

Get ready for the most outspoken, controversial, flat-out rowdy Hank Williams, Jr. in years with Old School, New Rules. Clearly energized, he tackles 11 new songs, 10 of them self-penned, with a vigor and sense of purpose that makes ample use of his remarkable musicality, instantly recognizable vocals, and always-present charisma. The ideas for the songs flowed like a river, “When I came up with that line, ‘they made a huge miscalculation about the mood of the nation,’” citing a lyric from the impeccably titled “Cow Turd Blues,” “I thought yep, time to get the iPad out and put this down. I really got pretty motivated.”
