Biography:
Hank Williams III is the great grandson of one of the best country musicians to ever drink himself to death, Hank SR. And following in his footsteps of writing the saddest songs you'll ever hear, Hank III plays old style country, not corny stupid new country. Whether or not you like country, surely you can appreciate this.
"Hank is one of the most honest and pure musicians I know. Everything he does is completely rooted in his genuine love of the music above all else. That's not as common as some might think. For him to carry on his family legacy so successfully, without compromising his individuality as an artist is absolutely amazing." -Mark Morton, guitarist, Lamb Of God
Hank Williams III (3) - 'Straight To Hell' God do I love this dude. He went from being in a metal band (Superjoint Ritual) to picking up where his grandpappy left off. Hank Sr. is smiling down from heaven on his kin, waiting for him to join hi...[more]
WOW these people don't know hardly anything about III. First off he did his grandaddies music WAY before SJR, he plays THREE sets onstage.. his old country, his HELLBILLY set which consists of old country mixed with hardcore punk (one of his favorite bands is The Misfits) and last is his metal band Assjack. Its true the only way you can get the Hellbilly stuff is to download it from websites such as www.archive.com or any other peer-to-peer programs but you can get his Assjack cds from his concerts. Cocaine Blues IS a Johnny Cash remake, the beginning of Straight To Hell's Satan Is Real is an old country song. III wanted to cover the whole song but the original artist wanted $20,000 so III opted to do only a segment and Pills I Took is also a cover. Yes I have met the man and talked to him after his shows, as a matter of fact I am going to see his show in Lawrence Ks tomorrow night. If you like even some of his stuff, i recommend downloading his full concerts and listening to it all and go out and buy all three country cds he has.
