Singer Ruthlessly Roasted After Butchering Classic Country Song: WATCH
Shaboozey is getting lit up online after a truly atrocious performance of Hank Williams Jr.'s "Family Tradition."
Shaboozey is getting absolutely crushed for his performance of a legendary country song.
For those of you who don't know who Shaboozey is, it's kind of hard to describe the man. There are some people who believe he's a country singer.
I've never felt that way. Not even a little bit.
It's more of pop music that somehow dabbles with country themes. For some reason, people seem to think that makes him a country star. It doesn't, and I'll fight that battle to the death.

Shaboozey butchers "Family Tradition."
Well, we might have some more proof that Shaboozey definitely isn't country. At the very least, he shouldn't be singing country music.
He was recently performing in Indianapolis when he decided to sing Hank Williams Jr.'s "Family Tradition," according to Whiskey Riff.
Bad idea.
It went about as poorly as it could have gone, and the results were a disaster. Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
Yikes. That's a big yikes moment. That's about as bad as it gets, and people were quick to weigh in with thoughts:
- This is embarrassing!
- This is horrid
- Sounds really good on mute 🔥
- hell no what a joke
- Uh no sorry
- hell no
- Even the mic is screaming for help
- Lord have mercy
- ummmm.... no 😳
- Oh hell nah
- Should’ve practice a little more for that
- F*ck no
- make it stop
If you're going to cover Hank Williams Jr., then you better make damn sure that it's going to be awesome. Hank Williams Jr. is a legend. One of the greatest country acts to ever live.
Not only that, but "Family Tradition" is probably his most popular song. How does a person butcher it that poorly?
It's beyond embarrassing. I've seen the local drunk at karaoke do better.
