Hank Williams Jr. has been one of my favorite country musicians since I was a kid, and even though he has faced a bit of controversy in the last year, I'm still a big fan. I can't wait for his new album 'Best of Hank Williams Jr.' and his tour which kicks off next Saturday March 3rd.

The first stop on his 'Taking Back the Country' tour will be Augustine Florida. Hank has announced 16 dates so far, and unfortunately none of them are in Minnesota, but there are more dates that have not yet been announced so it's still possible. Joining Hank on tour are some of his rowdy friends, including Chris Young, Jamey Johnson, George Thorogood, and 38 special. That sounds like one heck of a show if you ask me.

Hank is also putting a best of album on the shelves March 27th. He really didn't leave anything off the record either, every song is awesome - check out the track list below.
