14. There’s a Tear In My Beer (Pink Cadillac, 1989)
“Another great classic party song, you don’t really dance to it, you just sing along and have a good time. A Classic song track with Jr. and Sr. You will enjoy singing this song with the Williams duo.”
13. All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight (Major Moves, 1984)
“Was a fun party song before Monday night football and I think its still a fun rowdy song still. Fun to play at party’s. All my Rowdy Friends are coming over Tonight is one of Hank Jr.’s good songs”
12. Hotel Whiskey (Maverick, 1992)
“What can I say, Hank Williams, Jr. says it all. Had the pleasure of seeing Hank, Jr. in the early eighties. A show worth watching and enjoyed very much.”
11. All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down (The Pressure Is On, 1981)
“Bro-country before bro-country, by a man who has squandered perhaps the greatest birthright a country artist could ask for. As much as I appreciate Hank Williams, Jr.’s intellectual contributions to the world of football preparedness, this is pretty much unlistenable to me.”
10.Cajun Baby (Songs My Father Left Me, 1969)
“This is one of his best songs. Love the lyrics, and the music gets you to hopping! Good Cajun style. Hank Willams possessed not only X-factor – he had a direct line to heaven.”
9. The South’s Gonna Rattle Again (High Notes, 1982)
“This is a cool song. Not as good as the previous one, but still some great tunes. “Whiskey on Ice” rocks. “I’ve Been Down” is one of his best songs. Hanks robs a liquor store and shoots a cop…..pretty gangster there, Bocephus. I’m docking half a point because the jacket he’s wearing on the cover isn’t nearly as cool as the one on The Pressure Is On.”
8. All In Alabama (Habits Old and New, 1980)
“You just can’t beat the unmistakable sound of Hank, Jr.’s voice, especially in those days when he recorded this album. Hank is not just another country singer. He’s a great musician, a story teller, and one of my country music heroes since I was in high school in the mid 1980’s!”
7. Old Habits (Habits Old and New, 1980)
“I especially like Hank’s work from the 1980’s, like this song about how hard it is to break up in a relationship and find someone new to replace someone who has become an “old habit.” And old habits are hard to break. This is one of my favorite Hank Jr. songs and I think represents him as his best–after he was “reborn” after falling off the mountain and nearly dying.”

6. Country State of Mind (Montana Cafe, 1986)
“Country State of Mind” is probably my favorite song from the album. A song from the pen of Roger Alan Wade, before I actually knew who he was!”
5. The Blues Man (Habits Old and New, 1980)
“The Blues Man by Hank Jr. is one of my favorite all time songs. I can listen to it over and over and have for years and years. Hank Williams Jr. if my all time favorite singer. This song tells a story in his life and any Hank Jr. fan that has not heard it really should give it a listen.”
4. Family Tradition (Hank Williams, Jr.’s Greatest Hits, 1982)
“Hank Williams Jr. and Senior were both great artists in their own way. In this song Hank Jr. explains all the good and bad parts of their lives from their music to their drinking and bad country boy lifestyles.I looked for this song because I have fond memories of the early to mid eighties when Jr. was starting to figure out that things were not all that fun after all.”
3. Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound (Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound, 1979)
“This music is what you get when you tell stories while drinking whiskey. great tunes, great vocals, and great music. This is a country must have. Wish this had a little more oomph in the production, but it still sounds fine to me.”
2. Dinosaur (Habits Old and New, 1980)
“One of the best Hank Jr. songs. The lyrics are timeless especially considering today’s musical and politically correct environment. I feel like a dinosaur myself.”
1. A Country Boy Can Survive (The Pressure Is On, 1981)
” I don’t like Country music. But this song makes me smile and makes me feel good. I think most people who respect hard work and family would like this song.”
