I wonder how many Country musicians died from Alcohol or drug overdose.

Probably quite a few. Life imitates art once again.

At much later ages, though.

Hank Williams was only 29 when he died.  :alberta:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Among regular people who aren't hiphop artists, accidental deaths are more common than homicides.  :P

I wonder how many Country musicians died from Alcohol or drug overdose.

Take the earliest date on the Rapper list and do a comparison with country for the same time period.

That would be 1987 to Present.

An even greater tragedy is that Hank Williams Jr. did not die at age 29.   :(

I'm just surprised Hank III is still alive.

Why?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't make a habit of answering my own questions.  That makes you sound like a blowhard (the you here is universal, I'm not referring to you in particular.  We had this problem once before).

Look I already made my point by posting the names of some of the victims of the "red neck" life.
