"Cocaine Blues" is a song written by TJ Arnall, a reworking of the traditional song "Little Sadie". This song was originally recorded by Roy Hogsed around the time Johnny Cash was born as well as by Woody Guthrie, but Cash popularized the song.The song is the tale of a man who shoots his wife to death while under the influence of whiskey and cocaine.There are so many notable versions of this so...

Never really followed a band around, but when I found out "Hank3":http://www.hank3.com/ was playing not only nearby, but 2 nights in a row in the same vicinity, I had to go. After pulling 7:30 am to 4pm on a Wednesday, my wife and I drove the 2 and a half hours to Atlanta to catch Hank and The Damn Band. The last time we saw 3 in ATL, it was at Masquerade. Full of bodies, yes, but in a relat...

OK, so there is an extreme disparity in the Williams family, at least to me. How can Hank "the original"and Hank "three"be SO much better than Hank "Junior"??

Today's pick is from Hank Williams III. Hank has not only the name, but also a bucketload of talent. Lovesick, Broke, and Drifting is a fantastic album filled with the kind of old-fashioned drinkin', fightin', and lovin' songs that made country music great but are rarely heard anymore. Hank appears to have gone slightly off the rails of late: his most recent album, Straight to Hell, features...

There's a lot of things you can say about Shelton Hank Williams III, he's profane, his lyrics are simplistic, he advocates substance abuse and a destructive lifestyle - my money would be that he would look you in the eye, give you smile and spit on your shoes. The newest release by Hank III "Damn Right, [...]

The highly anticipated debut features Hank III who wrote, performed and produced everything on the record. The self-titled album personifies the split in the psyche of the singer/guitarist/songwriter/producer who last year released the psych-country album Damn Right, Rebel Proud.

For a guy who’s coming from such a relevant music lineage, who at some point played onstage alongside Phil Anselmo, I was expecting a little more hype around this record based on who he is alone. Oh well, at least the record’s #1 on Amazon’s most popular items in Death Metal and #2 in the Post-Hardcore [...]

DAMN RIGHT REBEL PROUD Just in time for Halloween the famous namesake unleashes another group of songs full of personal and inherited demons that mixes Traditional Country with a hint of Metal and Punk. He is the original The Southern Gothic Outlaw. This could be his edgiest album yet. Here is the EPK: Here is the first video: (Check Out the Jesco White Shirt. Anyone who has never seen th...

So we've made it to another Friday, and the release schedule continues to slow down. Luckily, a few bigger releases fell into my weekly rotation and deserve one of those Shane style talking points type posts:Hank Williams III - Damn Right Rebel Proud It's hard to hate on Hank III. He's managed to escape the legacy of his name and build his own fan base the hard way. While he's as likely to be ...
