It's WE Fest weekend, which means a lot of great music will be heard and a lot of beer will be consumed in Detroit Lakes.  While the main headliners are Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Rascal Flatts, I think by the end of the weekend a lot of people will be talking about Hank Williams Jr.

Bocephus is a legend who puts on a great show and he will be on stage tonight, so I thought he would be the perfect Country Throwback subject.

In 1982, he released "A Country Boy Can Survive" and it would become top 5 hit as well as one of his signature songs.  Hank Jr. wrote the song, and then would re-write it as "America Will Survive" following the 9/11 attacks.

Here is the official video of the original.
