"&amp;quot;My name is Bocephus!&amp;quot; barked Hank Williams, Jr., halfway through last night&amp;apos;s performance of &amp;quot;Are You Ready for the Country?&amp;quot; on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The song&amp;apos;s next line &amp;#x2014; &amp;quot;And my name&amp;apos;s Chief,&amp;quot; normally delivered by duet partner Eric Church &amp;#x2014; was missing, but Williams made up for the slimmed-down guest list by refocusing the audience&amp;apos;s attention on his live band, a swampy seven-piece that played Neil Young&amp;apos;s 1972 hit with appropriate doses of grease and grit.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe kickoff track to this month&amp;apos;s It&amp;apos;s About Time, &amp;quot;Are You Ready for the Country?&amp;quot; represents a reboot to Williams&amp;apos; career. The legend recently signed with Nash Icon, the label that&amp;apos;s overseen recent releases by legacy artists like Ronnie Dunn and Reba McEntire, and recorded his new album with help from a string of current chart-topping artists, including Brad Paisley and Brantley Gilbert. The aptly-named&amp;#xA0;It&amp;apos;s About Time &amp;#x2014; his first studio release since 2012 &amp;#x2014; repositions Williams not only as a country vet, but as a songwriter who isn&amp;apos;t quite through with the mainstream.&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m what you call a motivated icon,&amp;quot; Williams told Rolling&amp;#xA0;Stone Country last October, &amp;quot;and you got to watch out for a motivated icon, baby.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
