Hank Williams Jr. Vinyl Record Albums

Born Randall Hank Williams in Shreveport, Louisiana, and known by the nickname Bocephus (a name given to him by Hank Sr.), he was raised by his mother Audrey and older brother Shane after his father's death in 1953. He began performing when eight years old, and in 1963 made his recording debut with Lone Gone Lonesome Blue, a staple of his father's career. Williams' early career was guided, some say outright dominated, by his mother Audrey Williams, who many claim was the driving force that led his father to musical superstardom during the early late 40s and early 50s. Audrey, in many ways, wished for young Hank to be a clone of his father, sometimes going as far as to have clothes designed for him that were identical to his father's stage clothes and that his vocal stylings and sounds were almost identical to those of Hank Sr.
