Biografia

Figlio della celebre leggenda del country Hank Williams[1] e padre di Hank Williams III, il suo stile musicale è spesso considerato una fusione di Southern rock, blues e country tradizionale[1].

Iniziò la sua carriera qualche anno dopo la morte del padre, seguendone le orme[2]. Ottenne i primi successi reinterpretando alcune canzoni scritte dal padre, come le celebri Your Cheatin' Heart e Long Gone Lonesome Blues[2].
