Early life and career

Born Randall Hank Williams in Shreveport, Louisiana, and known by the nickname Bocephus (named after Grand Ole Opry comedian Rod Brasfield's ventriloquist dummy), he was raised by his mother Audrey after his father's death in 1953. His rise to fame began with lessons on the piano by Jerry Lee Lewis. He also was taught the guitar. He began performing when he was eight years old, and in 1963, he made his recording debut with "Long Gone Lonesome Blues", a song which was a staple of his father's career. : Port City , River City , Ratchet City : The Next Great City of the South United States Louisiana Caddo 117. ...

Williams's 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 late 1940s and early 1950s^{[citation needed]}. Audrey, in many ways, wished for young Hank to be nothing more than a "Hank Williams, Sr. impersonator", sometimes going as far as to have clothes designed for him that were identical to his father's stage clothes, and vocal stylings very similar to those of his father.

A change in musical direction

Although Williams's recordings earned him numerous country hits throughout the 1960s and early 1970s with his role as a "Hank Williams clone", he became disillusioned and severed ties with his mother in order to pursue his own musical direction and tastes. After recording the soundtrack to Your Cheatin' Heart, a biography of his father, Williams, Jr. hit the charts with one of his own compositions, "Standing in the Shadows (Of a Very Famous Man)". The song signalled a move to rock and roll and other influences, as he stepped out from the shadow of his father. The 1960s decade refers to the years from the beginning of 1960 to the end of 1969. ... The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, also called The Seventies. ...

By the mid-1970s, Williams had finally found the musical direction that would, eventually, make him a superstar.

Changing the face of Hank Williams, Jr.

The accident shattered every bone within his face and exposed his brain to open air. It would eventually take nine major surgeries to put his face back together again. His recovery took two years. In order to hide the numerous scars, Williams adopted the look that would become his trademark: a thick, full beard, cowboy hat, and dark sunglasses. Upon his return to the recording studio, Williams worked with Waylon Jennings on the album entitled The New South. But as far as singles were concerned, Williams didn't reach the charts again until the late 1970s, with Bobby Fuller's "I Fought the Law", "Family Tradition" and "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound". ==Individual Studio== A recording studio is a facility for sound recording. ...

By the end of the decade, however, the hits had begun to dry up as a new generation of more traditional-sounding country singers began to emerge. Williams was now seen as somewhat out of step with the so-called "New Traditionalist" movement.

His last major hit was "There's a Tear in My Beer", a duet with his father that was created using electronic dubbing techniques. The song itself was written by his father, and was recorded with Hank Williams playing just his guitar. The music video for the song combined existing television footage of Hank Williams performing and the dubbing techniques transferred the image of Hank Jr. onto the screen, so it appeared as if he were actually playing with his father. The video was an overwhelming success, both critically and commercially. It was named Video Of The Year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country music.
