In 1987, Hank Williams Jr. won his first of five country music entertainer of the year awards, and the two albums released that year - Hank Live and studio effort Born To Boogie - were platinum sellers. Born To Boogie was the CMA's album of the year in 1988, the year he won the CMA and ACM's top entertainer prize. Hank's star rose far beyond the country world in 1989, when manager Merle Kilgore arranged a deal with the ABC's Monday Night Football to have Hank Jr. rework "All My Rowdy Friends Are Comming Over Tonight" into a theme song to be played before each Monday's game. Two years later, the Monday Night theme won the first of four straight Emmy Awards, and Hank Jr. would be the singing voice of Monday Night Football for 22 years.
With the Monday Night Football deal in place, Hank Williams Jr. was now known to millions who had never listened to country music, and he'd become an ambassador for that musical genre. He's held that position through the 1990's and up to the present, with hard-charging songs that speak to his truth, his "unique position," and to our lives. His room-shaking voice is as identifiable to fans as that of his father, and he has passed the family tradition down to son Shelton and daughter Holly, both of whom are recording artists in their own right.
