	Hank Williams, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born Randall Hank Williams in Shreveport, Louisiana, and known by the nickname Bocephus (a name given to him by Hank Williams), he was raised by his mother Audrey after his father's death in 1953.
		Williams' early career was guided, some say outright dominated, by his mother Audrey Williams, who many claim was the driving force that led his father to musical superstardom during the late 1940s and early 1950s.
		Although Williams' recordings earned him numerous top ten country hits throughout the 1960s, he became disillusioned with his role as a 'Hank Williams clone' and severed ties with his mother in order to pursue his own musical direction and tastes.
