I remember a young Johnny Cash, waiting in the wing/Cause he’d hand me his cigarette, when he’d go out to sing/And the good Ol Marshall Tucker Band, back in ‘83/Was a special night they asked me, “Come on out and play ‘Can’t You See.’ ” That’s the first few lines from the song “Old School” on Hank Williams Jr.’s new album “Old School New Rules.” In this track, Hank sings about some fellow legends, from Dolly to Jerry Lee Lewis. He expresses how proud he is to be from the Old School and how privileged he is to have had the help he received.
