Hank Williams, The Man, The Legend

Noted country music artist Bill Rains created a limited-edition bronze sculpture of Hank Williams commemorating the singer's 75th birthday. From the D28 Martin guitar to the custom-made music note suit, this officially licensed bronze captures in detail and accuracy the magic and memory of Hank Williams.


The son of a Montana rodeo performer , Bill Rains inherited his father's passion for the cowboy way of life. His fondest boyhood memories were radio broadcasts of Hank and Ernest Tubb. In 1976, Rains merged his love for country music with his western art. Bronze sculptures were released of Jim Reeves, 1977; Ernest Tubb, 1982, Elvis Presley, 1986, Buck Owens, 1996, Ernest Tubb, 1997, Hank Williams, 1998, and many followed.


Rains received honors from the states of Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and his work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States.
