Named after his father, country star Hank Williams, Randall Hank Williams was born May 26, 1949. Hank Jr. was three years old when his father died after a life of stardom, alcohol, and controversy. The son began singing his father's songs at a young age, mimicking his voice and stage presence. He took the state of the Grand Ole Opry when he was 11 and his first album was a hit at the age of 14. His career continued to revolve around his father, and in 1970, he recorded the soundtrack to Hank Sr.'s biography "Your Cheatin' Heart". At that point in his life, he was ready to emerge as an individual with his own style, straying from his father's music. Hank Jr. developed a southern rock style which was reflected in his 1975 release "Hank William Jr. and Friends". His career suffered a setback when he fell off a mountain in Montana, requiring several surgeries. He reemerged at the end of the decade with his most notorious hit, "Family Tradition", which depicted the similarities between himself and his father, and their knack for "living out the songs that they wrote". Other hits include "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down" and "A Country Boy Can Survive". In 1987 and 1988, Hank Jr. was named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association. "There's a Tear in My Beer", a duet with his father (made possible by using his father's vocals from a record) earned Williams his only Grammy award.
