Hanks new album 127 Rose Avenue debuts #7 on Billboard Country Album Charts.
Nashville, TN 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 wasnt until Hank performed, at Fallons request, his favorite
song, Family Tradition that America learned of Jimmy Fallons talent as a
country music singer. Williams invited a surprised Fallon to join him on
stage and Jimmy Fallons 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.
