In the music industry, there are very few artists who surpass superstar status to become true American icons. Hank Williams Jr. is a founding member of that elite club. Throughout his career, he has helped shape America’s cultural landscape with his unbridled creativity, from-the-gut honesty, and unwavering personal convictions. His music not only reflects his own life, but the common experiences that unite us.

Hank Jr. has long been the voice of the common man, serving up observations on life and society that have made his fans listen intently and respond with a rousing “Hell Yeah!” as he puts words and music to their thoughts, hopes and everyday life. He does that again on his latest album with the song, “Stirring It Up.”

He won the CMA’s entertainer trophy in 1987 and 1988. In 1989, he won his first (and only) Grammy for the duet with his father, “There’s a Tear in My Beer,” which borrowed Hank Sr.’s vocals from a vinyl record. In the 1990s, Williams found notoriety by singing the opening theme for ABC’s Monday Night Football. “Are You Ready for Some Football?” won him a legion of new fans, and earned Williams the distinction of being the first country artist to ever to win an Emmy, a feat he repeated 1990 through 1993.
