Blessed is a celebration of the people who make life truly meaningful—family, friends, and the love that binds us together. Each song carries the warmth of shared memories, the strength of relationships that never fade, and the joy of being surrounded by those who matter most.

This album is more than music—it’s a reflection of life’s most precious moments: late-night conversations with friends, the laughter of children, the embrace of a loved one, and the quiet reassurance that no matter what storms may come, love remains our anchor.

With heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies, Blessed is a reminder that true wealth isn’t measured in possessions but in the bonds we share. It’s a soundtrack for gratitude, connection, and the simple truth that when you have love, family, and friends—you are truly blessed.

Friendship and Journey

(Verse 1) We started out with nothing but a dream and old guitar Playing honky-tonks and dive bars, didn't know we'd make it far Two young boys from different towns with the same fire in our souls Never knew that down this winding road we'd find our pot of gold

(Verse 2) Through the ups and downs and heartbreaks, through the glory and the pain We've been there for each other like sunshine through the rain From empty rooms to sold-out crowds, we've walked this path together Brothers bound by music and a bond that lasts forever

(Chorus) It's been a friendship and journey, longer than we ever dreamed Through the laughter and the tears, nothing's quite the way it seemed From the bottom to the top, we've shared every single mile It's been a friendship and journey, and it's all been worth the while Yeah, it's all been worth the while

(Verse 3) Now we're standing on this stage tonight, looking at these faces Thinking 'bout the memories we've made in all these places Every song we've sung together, every story that we've told Has been written in the chapters of our hearts in threads of gold

(Chorus) It's been a friendship and journey, longer than we ever dreamed Through the laughter and the tears, nothing's quite the way it seemed From the bottom to the top, we've shared every single mile It's been a friendship and journey, and it's all been worth the while

(Bridge) When the lights go down and the curtain falls We'll still be standing tall 'Cause some things in this life are meant to last Like the brotherhood we've built from our past

(Final Chorus) It's been a friendship and journey, longer than we ever dreamed Through the laughter and the tears, nothing's quite the way it seemed From the bottom to the top, we've shared every single mile It's been a friendship and journey, and it's all been worth the while Yeah, it's all been worth the while

(Outro) Here's to friendship and the journey Here's to all the miles we've shared

Though he began his career in the shadow of his legendary father, Hank Williams Jr. emerged as a formidable Country singer-songwriter in his own right with 1960s hits such as “It’s All Over But The Crying” and “Cajun Baby.” But things changed with the 1979 release of “Family Tradition,” where he broke the Nashville mainstream by adopting a rebel image and writing/recording in a style incorporating his Blues and Southern Rock influences. The results were staggering as 42 Top-10 hits followed, two CMA Entertainer of the Year honors, three ACM Entertainer of the Year honors, multiple Grammy nominations and a Grammy award for “There’s a Tear in My Beer”, a duet with his father using electronic merging technology.  As groundbreaking as Hank Williams Jr. became, it wasn’t just his performance that people took note about, but rather his songwriting that became so notable. The driven musician penned hit songs year after year scoring 20 BMI Awards. One of the arguably most-heard Country song of modern times, the four-time Emmy award-winning “Are You Ready For Some Football?,” which was heard nationally as the theme song of ABC and ESPN’s Monday Night Football telecasts, was aired for 21 years.   As the accolades kept coming, Williams sold over 55 million albums, achieving gold, platinum, and multi-platinum status along with 13 of those albums hitting the no. 1 spot on the Billboard chart. In 2008, Williams was honored with the BMI Icon award at the 56th annual BMI Country Awards, joining an elite group of past honorees including Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Dolly Parton. Today, Hank Williams Jr. writing and recording new material for his first album on Nash Icon Records slatted to be released in 2016.
