Major Moves is the thirty-seventh studio album by American musician Hank Williams Jr. It was released by Warner Bros. Records in May 1984. “Attitude Adjustment,” “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight” and the title track were released as singles. The album reached No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA.

“All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight”, which would become a hit in its own right, is now best known to football fans as the song Williams would remake as “Are You Ready For Some Football?” for Monday Night Football.

“Promises” was previously recorded by Eric Clapton on his 1978 album Backless.

Commercial and critical success

Major Moves was a significant success for Williams, becoming his first album to reach number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart since the 1960s. It also became his eleventh album to be certified Gold and third to be certified Platinum by the RIAA. Williams received a number of prestigious music industry awards during this time, including winning the inaugural Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards for Music Video of the Year for “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight”. The ACM also nominated Williams for Top Male Vocalist, his third nomination for the award, and he received his first nomination for CMA Male Vocalist of the Year. “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight” became one of Williams’ signature songs and earned him two Grammy nominations, one for Best Country Song and one for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male.
