Hank Williams Jr. - Rich White Honky Blues (LP)

Country outlaw Hank Williams Jr. returns to his roots on Rich White Honky Blues, a raw and powerful album that reconnects the legendary singer with the deep traditions of Delta and country blues. Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, the record strips things back to gritty guitars, vintage tones and the unmistakable voice that has defined generations of Southern music.

Recorded live in the studio with a band steeped in blues authenticity, the album features Hank Jr. interpreting a selection of classic blues songs from legends including Lightnin’ Hopkins, Muddy Waters, R.L. Burnside and Big Joe Turner. The result is a soulful, swampy record that blends hill-country blues, Southern rock attitude and old-school storytelling.

Tracks like “Georgia Women,” “Jesus Won’t You Come By Here” and “Kokomo Blues” highlight Hank Jr.’s deep connection to the blues lineage that influenced both his own music and the wider Southern sound. The production keeps everything loose and organic, capturing the feel of musicians playing together in the room – raw, honest and full of character.

Rich White Honky Blues stands as one of Hank Williams Jr.’s most authentic and roots-driven recordings in years, celebrating the shared DNA between country, blues and Southern rock.

Perfect for fans of R.L. Burnside, Muddy Waters and classic American blues, this LP is a standout addition to any blues or roots vinyl collection.
