Hank Williams Jr. Artist Snapshot:

Hank Williams Jr. spent years trying to duplicate his famous father's sound. But his greatest success came when he shook off that weighty mantle. Williams's new sound integrated country and southern rock, a formula that made him one of country's biggest stars of the 1980s. Down the line, he proved to be influential to a new generation of rebels like Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker.

Title Note

Producers: Ray Ruff, Jimmy Bowen, Phil Gernhard.

This is part of Curb's Bocephus series.

FAMILY TRADITION is state-of-the-art late-'70s country music. In other words, this isn't exactly the sort of album that screams "Are you ready for some football?" Regardless, this is one of Williams' best, if least characteristic, efforts.

The strongest song is "I've Got Rights," a revenge fantasy written from the perspective of a man whose wife and child were murdered by somebody who later beat the rap on a technicality. It's powerful stuff, hardly conducive to getting rowdy. Elsewhere, Williams turns in a soulful reading of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody," does a slow and funky version of Bobby Fuller's oft-covered "I Fought the Law" (a smart choice, given Williams' public persona), and takes some good-natured swipes at his Nashville detractors in the title song.
