In an era of plastic, manufactured music, it is always refreshing when someone goes against the grain and does what they want to do. Hank Williams III (aka HANK III) is the best example of this in music today. For over twelve years now Shelton Hank Williams III has been fighting the music industry to be his own man. Cast by certain people in the shadow of his legendary grandfather, Williams has fought long and hard to create his own sound and style, and to preserve the true outlaw spirit of real country music. His ever-evolving live shows pay respects to both his country roots, and the punk and metal influences that he has held true to since his teens.

Much like his grandfather and his father before Him, Hank III is his own man. He doesn’t care what expectations people have in him, and he will do it the way that he does it so long as he is alive.

RESPECTS…

“I no longer drink, but I love songs about boozing, and these are beauts. The Hank III album is called Straight to Hell, and I imagine the Nashville establishment wishes young Mr. Williams would go there, posthaste. Me, I hope he sticks around. This is the real country: hollow of eye, pale of face, and bursting with the rhythm of the damned.” – Stephen King, novelist, screenwriter, columnist

“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

“I like Hank Sr. and I like Hank Jr. But I like Hank III better than both of them.” -David Allan Coe, Outlaw and Country Music legend
