"Leave Them Boys Alone" is a song recorded by American country music artist Hank Williams Jr. with Waylon Jennings and Ernest Tubb.
 It was released in May 1983 as the second single from Williams' album "Strong Stuff".
 The song reached number 6 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles chart.
 It was written by Williams, Dean Dillon, Gary Stewart and Tanya Tucker.
 The song is notable for its combination of two singers associated with the outlaw movement with a country legend from the honky tonk days and golden age of the Grand Ole Opry.
 Outlaw singers like Williams and Jennings saw themselves as taking country music back to its raw, honky tonk roots, and recording an up tempo song with Tubb (who would never have received radio airplay in the late 1970s and early 80's) and reaching #6 was a slap in the face to the proponents of the country pop sound.
 The lyrics of the song, much like Williams' "Family Tradition" echo the sentiment that the outlaw singers and their current escapades were predated by the hard living honky tonkers of the 1950s such as Hank Williams, Sr. and Ernest Tubb, prior to the music being fairly taken over by the Nashville Sound in the 1960s.
Pirates of the Mississippi was an American country music group founded in 1987 by Rich Alves (guitar, Hammond organ, background vocals), Bill McCorvey (guitar, lead vocals), Jimmy Lowe (drums), Pat Severs (steel guitar, Dobro), and Dean Townson (bass guitar).
 Under this lineup, Pirates of the Mississippi made its debut in 1990 with a cover of Hank Williams' "Honky Tonk Blues".
 This cover was the first single from their self-titled debut album.
 "Honky Tonk Blues" was followed by ten more singles, all of which charted between 1990 and 1995.
 In that same time span, the band released four more studio albums and a compilation album.
 Severs was replaced by Greg Trostle in 1994, two years before the band was disestablished.
 In 2000, Alves and McCorvey reunited, releasing an additional album titled "Heaven and a Dixie Night" before disbanding again.

The Randy Abel Stable (Simplified Chinese:马厩乐队 Pinyin: Mǎjiù Yuèduì) is an Americana or Alt-Country band from Beijing, China.
 Critically acclaimed for their live shows, "The Stable" combines honky tonk, country, bluegrass and blues to produce a unique sound that has been described as having "the realism and sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the imagery and lyricism of Hank Williams Sr. and the excitement and raw energy of the Ramones."
 Playing a variety of musical instruments which are native to the United States of America and are seldom seen in China—e.g. banjo, mandolin, dobro and harmonica, The Stable draws inspiration from a wide range of genres.
 The band's typical live performance takes its predominantly Chinese audience through a musical journey of honky tonk, country, bluegrass and blues with a high energy live show composed of original country ballads, crisp honky tonk dance tunes, Mississippi Delta blues and traditional Rock N' Roll.
"Honky Tonk Attitude" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Joe Diffie.
 It was released in March 1993 as the lead single and title track from his album "Honky Tonk Attitude".
 The song reached the top five of the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart and peaked at number 11 on the Canadian "RPM" Country Tracks chart.
 The song was written by Diffie and Lee Bogan.
Out of Hand is a 1975 honky tonk album by Country music singer Gary Stewart.
 The singer's second album, his debut for RCA Records, reached #6 on "Billboard's" Country Albums chart, launching three charting singles, "Drinkin' Thing" (#10), "Out of Hand" (#4), and "She's Actin' Single (I'm Drinkin' Doubles)" (#1).
 The album, a departure from prevalent country styles at the time of its release, was a critical as well as a commercial success and has come to be regarded as a classic in the honky tonk genre.
Songs About Me is the seventh studio album of country music singer Trace Adkins.
 It was released on March 22, 2005 on Capitol Records Nashville.
 His highest-selling album to date, it has been certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA and had sold 1.5 million copies.
 Singles from this album include the title track, Arlington, and Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.
 The title track and "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" both went to No.2 and Arlington went to No.16 on the U.S. "Billboard"Hot Country Songs charts.
 "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" was also a Top 40 hit on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and Pop 100 as well.
Cactus and a Rose is a 1980 honky tonk/Southern rock album by Country music singer Gary Stewart.
 The singer's seventh studio album, it only reached #49 on "Billboard's" "Country Albums" chart, spawning two low-charting singles: "Cactus and a Rose" (#48) and "Are We Dreamin' the Same Dream" (#66).
 Produced by Chips Moman, it was a departure from his standard honky-tonk fare, as it features Southern rockers Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Mike Lawler, Bonnie Bramlett (from Delaney, Bonnie & Friends), and Randy Scruggs.
 According to Allmusic the album proves that "Stewart could have easily fronted the Allman Brothers or Marshall Tucker or, vocally kicked Charlie Daniels' southern rock butt from here to Pascagoula as a great honky tonk singer."
Rick Trevino is an album from Hispanic-American country music singer Rick Trevino.
 His second major-label album, it was released in 1994 on Columbia Records Nashville.
