If only Terry Bradshaw’s Hall of Fame football career wouldn’t have gotten in the way of his country music career. Throughout his lifetime, Terry Bradshaw has worn many hats… literally. During his playing days with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he donned a helmet and was a Super Bowl champion. Once he moved onto his broadcasting career, Terry has been known to wear flat caps as he breaks down games. And then on other occasions throughout the 70s and 80s, you just might have seen him singing country music while wearing a cowboy hat. Believe it or not, Terry Bradshaw once even released his own country music album in 1976 that was titled I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry. The project itself climbed into the Top 100 Country Albums chart, and his cover of Hank Williams’ song (that the album is named after) peaked at 17 on the Billboard Country Music chart. That’s pretty impressive, especially considering he released the album right in the midst of his playing career. Bradshaw played 14 seasons in the NFL from 1970 to 1983, and was just casually putting out solid, respectable country music during that time as well. The more you know, right? In 1977, the star quarterback joined a half-hour, syndicated country music program called Pop! Goes the Country. The TV show brought on both traditional and more pop-leaning country music acts, and shined a spotlight on the genre. It aired from 1974 to 1982, and racked up over 230 episodes. One of those episodes featured Terry Bradshaw singing a cover of Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya (On the Bayou),” and a video of that performance is currently going viral online. Why, you might be asking? Well, people love the occasional nostalgic dip back into yesteryear, and this video below certainly provides that. A social media account called “Super 70s Sports” shared a snippet of Bradshaw’s performance, and I’ve got to say… the Steelers quarterback has some pipes. He looked like a natural out on the stage, and it’s crazy to think that Terry Bradshaw was singing country music on Pop! Goes the Country all while he was also putting together a hall of fame football career. He’s a multi-talented man, and this footage of him covering Hank Williams proves that: Terry Bradshaw sings Hank Williams with four glorious sons of the 70s on backing vocals. Just trust me on this one … pic.twitter.com/OMGdKghEQV — Super 70s Sports (@Super70sSports) April 7, 2026 Now anytime I see Terry Bradshaw included on NFL coverage, I’m going to think of that video. I don’t think it would be crazy to say that Bradshaw could have explored a country music career back in the day. Nowadays, it’s probably best that he sticks to covering football, but back in the 70s? He could have spun his football following right into a country music fanbase if he wanted to. If a country music program was booking him to perform, he’s certainly got some talent. All in all, I think everything worked out just fine for Mr. Bradshaw. However… I do wonder if he ever sits down in his home, pours himself a drink, and cues up this Pop! Goes the Country episode and contemplates what could have been.
