"Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Waylon Jennings. It was released in August 1975 as the first single from the album Dreaming My Dreams. The song was Waylon Jennings' fourth number one on the country chart as a solo artist. The single stayed at number one for one week and spent a total of sixteen weeks on the country chart.
The song pays homage to the influence of Hank Williams Sr. in country music, and criticizes the glitz that had come to characterize top-selling country artists in the 1970s, through references to "rhinestone suits" and "new shiny cars."
The song appears on Rebel Radio, the country music themed station, in Grand Theft Auto V. The song was also used in a promotional trailer showcasing the character Trevor Philips.
