Jimmy Fallon & Hank Williams Jr. Related? No, It Is Just A 'Family Tradition!'

Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Hank Williams Fans Website) - Hank Williams Jr. fan and late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon welcomed 'Bocephus' Hank Williams Jr. on his show last Tuesday night to debut his new album 127 Rose Avenue. Williams scheduled performance of his new smash single, 'Red White & Pink Slip Blues' wowed the television audience and country music fans everywhere.

Still, it wasn't until Hank performed, at Fallon's request, his favorite song, 'Family Tradition' that America learned of Jimmy Fallon's talent as a country music singer. Williams invited a surprised Fallon to join him on stage and Jimmy Fallon's secret dream of a Hank & Jimmy country duet was finally realized!

Hank Williams Jr. has been a walking embodiment of American music for three generations of fans. With the release of 127 Rose Avenue, Bocephus brings all those elements together to forge one of the finest albums of his storied career. All told, Hank says, 127 Rose Avenue is "one of the most special albums I've ever made. I don't think I've ever had a whole album where it came together this well and this quickly. A lot of the songs got written when I was out with my two Labradors and a hickory stick at 7:30 in the morning." In the meantime, his views on life and love, his respect for tradition and the legacy of his forbears, and the preciousness of life and freedom, continue to be poured into his music, which, 70 albums on, still resonates with fans like that of few artists ever has.
