In a conversation that gave us some intensely emotional moments along with plenty of laughs, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is joined by a great friend of his dad's - bass fishing legend Hank Parker Sr. Hank Parker and Dale Earnhardt were close friends who met even before they rose to the top of their respective fields. As they both experienced early career triumphs, with Hank winning the BassMaster Classic in 1979 and Dale winning the NASCAR Cup Championship in 1980, they began fishing and hunting together, forging a close bond that would carry through Dale's passing in 2001.This interview covers everything from why Hank Sr. traded his fishing pole in for a stock car, his journey from working at a marina to becoming one of the most recognized outdoorsmen in history, and the time he spent in the wild with the Earnhardts, with the hilarious and poignant stories to prove it. You may remember the racing endeavors of Hank's son Hank Jr., who spent time in the All-Pro Series before moving up to the NASCAR Busch Series and eventually winning two races. But the racing bug and need for speed first resonated in Hank, and the story of how he bought a Busch Series car from Dale and attempted to qualify at Rockingham is one you won't want to miss. Hank also fills Dale Jr. in on why Hank may be responsible for convincing Dale Earnhardt to buy Dale Jr.'s first late model, and then relays some deeply intimate conversations he had with Dale during their hunting trips over the years, showing a side of the Intimidator you've never seen before.DraftKings State-Specific Problem Gambling Information:In Massachusetts, call (800) 327-5050 or visit gamblinghelplinema.org, In New York, call 877-8-HOPENY or text HOPENY (467369).

Welcome back! Thank you for patiently waiting for this 2nd part of the "I watched 3 Hank Williams movies in one weekend though ironically its taking me more than 3 months to release the series" trilogy. I cover lots of stuff you don't normally hear about in Hank Sr retrospectives and documentaries, so even if you've seen a few, you might still learn something here on this episode. I gotta take a break from Hank to release one or two episodes next that require a little less labor becoz they're already mostly completed. This next 30 days may be the most randomized release schedule I've ever attempted, thematically speaking. HOPE YOU LIKE VARIETY!!!!

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Charlie TreatBefore becoming one of East Nashville's most genre-bending songwriters, Charlie Treat grew up on a farm in New England, listening to old-school crooners whose songs reflected his own rural surroundings. Years later, he salutes those influences with Into The Wild Mystic Mountain, an imaginative bluegrass album that finds its creator — backed by some of the genre's best young pickers and soon-to-be legends — working in the raw, rootsy tradition of greats like Woody Guthrie, Hank Sr, Bill Monroe, and Flatt and Scruggs.
Funny how the world works, at least in the world of music. This is the story of Kira Annelise and her husband Willie Heath Neal, who together make up the country duo The Waymores (https://www.thewaymores.com/). When they met, Willie was a seasoned songwriter about to hang it up. He was still singing in bands when Kira saw him performing, and her world changed. A talented singer, Kira had yet to pick up a guitar or even listen to real country music—real being Hank Sr., Johnny Cash, John Prine, etc. After seeing Willie, Kira started playing guitar and writing music. It wasn't too much longer that they started playing together, and, predictably, they became an official couple. Fourteen years later, Kira and Willie are still at it, and their newest album The Stone Sessions is proof positive of their magic. In this episode of For Songs, Willie and Kira talk about their past, their future, and, most importantly, their compelling present. We talk about four songs in particular from The Stone Sessions—Even When, Bat Shit Crazy, Roll That Chain, and I Don't Like the Liquor. Their lush harmonies will send chills down your spine as they recall June and Johnny, while their self-depreciating humor will leave you in stitches. Buckle up, grab a drink, and welcome Kira and Willie to For Songs.

There's a new performer on the way, and he's one that has a legitimate claim to arguably the most important bloodline in country music history. That's right, the son of Hank Williams III is getting ready to emerge, and to do so under the moniker “IV.” And though all we have to work with at this point is snippets and snapshots, he appears to be taking after pops in more ways than one.The 30-year-old from Nashville is not named Hank, but rather Coleman, and isn't adopting the “Hank” name specifically, only the numeric “IV” as a fourth generation performer in the direct bloodline of Hank Williams as Hank's great grandson.“Four writes folk songs,” says his producer, Jason Dietz. “The band is responsible for turning them into something else. We try to keep an essence of their original form, while adding drums, 100 watt amps, fuzz bass and fiddle.”Jason Dietz is also known as the bass player for the band The Hardin Draw, and has worked with former Hank3 bass player Joe Buck in the past. Guitarist David Talley and fiddler Laura Beth Jewell also of The Hardin Draw are involved in bringing the project to life under what they're calling “The Strange Band.” At the moment they plan to release a debut single from IV called “Son of Sin” on April 4th, with a debut EP coming April 20th.The discovery of “IV” is one of the major reasons that Hank Williams III got involved in country music in the first place. Primarily playing in punk bands and installing garage doors for a living, Hank3 was hit with a paternity suit when Coleman was five-years-old, and told by a judge to “get a real job” to help pay child support. Hank3, who is now 48-years-old, had not known about Coleman prior to the paternity motion.So to help pay child support, Hank3 signed with Curb Records, and emerged as a neotraditional country singer and songwriter in the vein of his grandfather, while playing in metal and punk bands on the side, and forming his own “Hellbilly” style of music. Hank3 released his magnum opus Straight to Hell in 2006, and fulfilled his contract with Curb in 2008 after a contentious relationship. He then went independent, releasing multiple records on his own. Hank3 has been mostly inactive since 2014 after his last tour.Whenever talking about the Hank Williams bloodline, a bit of disambiguation is always necessary. Hank3 is Hank Williams Jr.'s son, and Coleman, a.k.a. “IV” is Hank3's son. Hank Williams Jr. also has another son from a later marriage named Sam Williams, who is also a performer. Hank3 is the half brother of Sam, and of Hilary and Holly Williams, who are also performers.Then there is the case of Ricky Fitzgerald, a.k.a. “Hank Williams IV,” who is also a performer and currently active, and who uses the Hank name on stage. He is the grandson of Lewis “Butch” Fitzgerald, who is the long-rumored supposed illegitimate son of Hank Williams. To take a deep dive into that complex story, CLICK HERE.It's also important to point out that Hank Sr.'s real name was Hiram King, which he changed to Hank, thinking it would be better for country music. The ‘Hank' in Hank Jr. and Hank3's name comes from their given middle name, not their first name: Randall Hank Williams and Shelton Hank Williams respectively. IV's official last name is Finchum after his mother, since at birth he was not in the life of Hank 3. IV though says he's planning to change his last name to Williams.But just to underscore again, “IV” is not claiming the Hank name, even though hypothetically, he possibly could for the stage. Instead he's keeping clear of any controversy that could come from it, while still laying claim to his legitimate standing in the Hank Williams lineage.
Here we are for Episode 4. A respite since Episode 3 after I came down with something. I lay out the Hank Sr. "Grand Tour" for you, with the epicenter as his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama. Here's my list:-The Hank Williams Boyhood Home Museum (Georgiana, AL)https://www.facebook.com/HankWilliamsBoyhoodHomeMuseum/-The Hank Williams Museum (Montgomery, AL)https://www.thehankwilliamsmuseum.net/-The Hank Williams Statue (Downtown Montgomery)-Chris's Hot Dogs (Downtown Montgomery)https://www.chrishotdogs.com/-Kawaliga Lake/Kawaliga Restaurant (Alexander City, AL)http://kowaligarestaurant.com/-The Hank Williams Cabin (Alexander City, AL)https://explorelakemartin.com/explore_lake_martin/hank-williams-cabin/-The Almeria Club (Backroads Alabama)I also found a unique Buffalo Bill vinyl with a short story about the western legend. I like the feel of my boots sliding over the boards.

He has sold over 70 million albums and won CMA Entertainer of the Year 5 times, that and a whole lot of other accolades. Hank Williams has come to be known as a person who speaks his mind. Better or worse. You might know him from the theme song for the NFL's Monday Night Football. It was based on his 1984 hit "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight", it ran for decades! His daddy before him had a hard drinkin' hard livin' life and so did Hank Jr., as well as his son Hank III, let's start things off with "Family Tradition": That was my personal favorite, "Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound". And more about the "Family Tradition" that preceded that song. Shelton Hank Williams, known as Hank III, his son is now performing as the next generation Hank, Coleman Williams as simply IV. He just released his debut music this past April. And there is also Jett Williams, Hank Jr's step-sister. And Holly Williams, Hank III's half-sister, I love her 2014 song, "Waiting on June". Here is more Hank Jr with "If the South Woulda Won" off of 1988's Wild Streak: That was "A Country Boy Can Survive", one of Hank Jr's most enduring hits and a fan favorite. Bocephus as known by many and the name given to him by his daddy. Named Bocephus after Grand Ole Opry comedian Rod Brasfield's ventriloquist dummy. Hank Sr. died at a young age and when Hank Jr was only 3 years old and raised by his mother Audrey. Here is "My Name Is Bocephus": Audrey, Hank Jr's mother had him performing his daddy's hits all over the country and Hank Jr. resented being known as an impersonator of his father. He tried putting his own songs into his live sets of his daddy's songs, but the crowds were not pleased as they had come to hear Hank Williams songs. He would start changing his style and coming into his own despite the crowd reaction. Hank was almost killed in 1975, during a mountain-climbing accident in Montana, where he fell 500 feet. After taking years off and many surgeries, he returned more focused and what would become his career defining period. When he reemerged he had grown a beard and started wearing sunglasses and a Cowboy hat, this would become his signature look. Here is a song made popular again by Alan Jackson on his 1999 covers album, "Under The Influence", here is Hank doing "The Blues Man": Times are good around Austin and the Country... interest is down and the Stock Market's up; and let's pray that it stays that way. But it was during what is now known as the Great Recession that Bocephus released his last big single and I love it. I doubt I'll hear it tonight, so we will play it now, this is "Red, White & Pink-Slip Blues". --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tiny-curations/message
Coleman Williams is blazing his own path in music. Nearly 85 years after his great-grandfather Hank Williams made his musical debut, Coleman Williams (also known as IV) is continuing the legacy of country music's most legendary family with his band IV AND THE STRANGE BAND. The only son of Hank Williams III, IV was raised by his mother in Nashville until his high school years, which were spent with his father at Hank3's “haunted ranch.” While the Williams musical blood runs through Coleman, the journey to starting a music career at 29 – the exact age his great grandfather Hank Sr.'s life ended – was necessary for him to fulfill his vision. Being handed a legacy is one thing, but Coleman is determined to earn it. IV AND THE STRANGE BAND's debut single, “Son of Sin,” was released this past April 20th. So let's welcome the newest and freshest sound in country music today, Coleman Williams.
Jim and Mike interview JENNY AND KELLY from JENNY DONT AND THE SPURS! (Portland, Oregon alternative country band) ABOUT JENNY DONT AND THE SPURS: Since their inception in 2012, the Spurs have kept a relentless schedule of recording, playing locally, and touring. After nearly 500 live appearances in almost a dozen countries, and with a slew of albums and singles to their name, Jenny Don't And The Spurs are just getting warmed up. The Spurs were founded one cold, winter's evening by Jenny and Kelly. Jenny had been fronting her own band, DON'T, for some time, as well as playing the occasional solo acoustic set here and there. Kelly, who had been in a slew of Portland punk bands since the 80's, and who had spent the previous several years balancing a grueling touring schedule playing drums with the garage rock trio PIERCED ARROWS and bass with Portland punk-rock destroyers P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S., and wanted to switch gears a bit. After the concept of forming a raw, real, and back-to-the-roots country band had taken hold, it wasn't long before the couple was rehearsing a seminal set of standards by such influential early country crooners and outlaws like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Ernest Tubb, and Hank Sr., as well as a sprinkling of originals. It was only a few weeks later that Kelly's bandmates Fred and Toody Cole got wind of the developing musical project that was taking form in Jenny and Kelly's kitchen and decided to call their bluff by giving them an unsolicited support slot on an upcoming show featuring the Cole's own solo two-piece act. Not having anticipated such a high-profile live appearance as a first live outing, and feeling like the guitar-and-bass-only lineup that the band had started life as was lacking something on the rhythm end of things, they decided to ask their friend Sam Henry to join them on drums. Sam, who in addition to being Jenny's bandmate in DON'T and sometimes solo-set-collaborator, had already had a long, well respected career as one of Portland's best drummers, having played with such first-generation punk bands as the Wipers, The Rats and Napalm Beach. After a couple of weeks of practice, the debut live appearance of the band went off without a hitch and the core lineup of Jenny Don't And The Spurs was born. The trio of Jenny, Kelly, and Sam existed in this form for the first year-an-a-half or so of the band's existence, playing whatever local venue would take them – bars, clubs, porches, basements, backyards, and even a bookstore. This worked well for a while, and occasionally the Spurs would enlist talent from a pool of several friends to sit in on lead guitar or lap steel. The addition of a second guitar rounded out the sound of the band to the point where Jenny and Co. decided to make it a permanent part of the band's lineup. After a couple of false starts and a bit of difficulty finding a fourth member who could commit to the Spur's sometimes grueling touring schedule, the incredible Christopher March became a member of the family in early 2017. Christopher brought with him a wealth of talent and live gig experience, having spent years playing on the Northwest Country, Rockabilly, and Honky-Tonk circuit. Now, with several West Coast and North American tours, as well as three European tours and hundreds of local shows under their tooled-leather Western belts, the Spurs are gearing up for the release of their third full-length studio album. The Spurs are a musical force to be reckoned with, the intensity and energy of their live set, and dazzling Western outfits handmade by Jenny herself, the band is a must-see for anyone who enjoys spirited garage-infused country music played with sincerity and raw conviction.
