Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way? (1973-1983)
The 1970s and early 1980s were a vibrant era in country music that saw Dolly Parton find mainstream success and Hank Williams Jr emerge from his famous father's shadow.
The 1970s and early 1980s saw country music entering a vibrant era of new voices and attitudes. Dolly Parton made the crossover to mainstream success and became the most famous woman in country music. In 1980 she achieved an entirely new level of national stardom when she joined Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in the hit Hollywood movie Nine to Five.
While George Jones and Tammy Wynette seemed to live out their songs鈥 tragic lyrics, Hank Williams Jr emerged from his father鈥檚 shadow. He performed Hank Williams Sr鈥檚 music when he was just eight years old, debuted on the Opry at the age of 11 singing Lovesick Blues and recorded an album of his father鈥檚 hits at 14. But as soon as he turned 18, he dropped his mother as a manager.
