72-year-old Hank Williams Jr. is a bluesman. Pure, unqualified and unadulterated, the only son of Hank Williams has the same down low lonesome in his veins as the man Rufus Tee-Tot Payne taught to play guitar as a small child growing up in Greenville, Alabama.

With Rich White Honky Blues, the second-generation Country Music Hall of Famer makes good on his legacy with a turpentine and rough wood take on the hill country blues that informed his fathers raw-boned style of putting his pain out there. GRAMMY-winning Producer of the Year Dan Auerbach recorded the set live, with a dozen songs reprising classics from Robert Johnson, Lightnin Hopkins, R.L. Burnside, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner and a few from Bocephus himself.
