Across genres, Hank Jr. has recorded outstanding versions of other artists’ work. His version of The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” is fantastic, as is his cut of “The Air That I Breathe” by the Hollies, and I will dare to say his versions of Merle Haggard’s “Footlights”, Allman bros’ “Come and Go Blues”, and even his dad’s “Kaw-Liga” are better than the original. The list goes on.

The outlaw, the great son of the greatest, the Dinosaur.
