This week our host Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday has given us the prompt of “Songs from artists who have famous musician parents”. The goal is to take the prompt and profile a song that covers that challenge. Most weeks it is just having a song that that has part of the lyrics or title in the prompt.

Please consider carving out time to read the posts of other bloggers who responded to this music challenge. You will hopefully discover new songs, revisit an old favorite and it is quite possibly learning something interesting.

Suggestions for Song Lyric Sunday

Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it contains the prompt words or not.  If it does not meet the criteria, then please explain why you chose this song.
• Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due.  Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
• Make sure you also credit the singer/band and if you desire you can provide a link to where you found the lyrics.
• Link to the YouTube video or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song.
• Ping back to this post or place your link in the comments section below.
• Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
• Feel free to suggest future prompts.
• Have fun and enjoy the music.

Family Tradition

Hank Williams holds a gigantic spot in the genre of Country Music. He often is dubbed the “Hillbilly Shakespeare”. He died at the age of 30 but did write and record 55 singles. Some music historians refer to him as “Country Music First Superstar”. Some of his biggest hits included:

His son Hank Williams Jr. carved out his own niche as a singer. He will perform his dad’s songs with original ones of his own that take Country and mix it with Southern Rock and Blues. He was just 4 when his dad died.

The song I choose for this week’s prompt is “Family Tradition“

The song was part of a 1979 album with the same title as the song.
