This is the new album from Those Poor Bastards. In a blog they wrote “It was originally supposed to be released after “Hellfire Hymns,” but was delayed due to some legal mumbo jumbo.” Outlaw Country musicians have always had to fight for their music, whether it is Hank Williams III or Waylon Jennings, and whether […]
Just some quick stuff today, nothing special. Hank III Collector’s Edition. Well yesterday and in other blogs I had been reporting that the newly-released Hank III Collector’s Tin would have the tracks of Straight to Hell’s second disc cut up. I haven’t received my copy yet, but some of my operatives in the field have, […]
Today is the release day for the Hank Williams III 3 CD Collector’s Edition Tin. This set includes all of Hank III’s previously released material. If you already have Hank III’s 3 previous albums, there’s still a reason to but this above the cool tin the CD’s come in: This edition has all the songs […]
If you don’t know who Kinky Friedman is, then holy shit. Aside from being a writer, columnist, humorist, governor of Texas candidate, this dude was one of the ORIGINAL country artists down in Austin, TX with Ray Wylie Hubbard, Michael Murphy, Jerry Jeff Walker, and the others, when Austin music and The Outlaws took country […]
If you’re reading this right now and you are not a MySpace friend of Wayne you should ramble over there and send him a friend request. The main reason is because Wayne checks the Reinstate Hank petition pretty much every day and looks for cool messages people have posted there, and then shares them will […]

I’m happy to announce that the GREAT .357 String Band has a new MySpace profile. PLEASE everyone gets your ass over there and add them. Their other profile was irrevocably infected with spambot crap, and has to be 86’d. I’ve been trying to help them with this because I think this is one of the […]
First off, everyone should go and check out Cathy’s Blog about how you can print off an official copy of the Reinstate Hank petition to sign.

Here’s the scoop: “Recently, a meeting of the outlaws took place in Paris TN for the filming of “The Wild and Wonderful […]
Freehank3.org had correspondents crawling all over the place at the Metal Farm Release Party this last Saturday in Cincinnati, Ohio. Cathy’s Reinstate Hank Bandwagon and her Hubby Wayne, Donnie Cash from the Hank III Coalition, and the very lovely Sugar were there shaking it at Shake It Records. If you want to see some pics, […]
I found this on Charlie G’s page. It’s about as poignant and true as it gets. Sure, these old farts are straining to harmonize and the whole thing seems a little contrived, but the verses are so true it hurts. Charlie G. pointed out in the comments of my last blog that the Grand Ole […]
Well shit. For all my long-winded musings about why the LP vinyl version of Damn Right, Rebel Proud will not be released online in my last blog, I got an email alert from Amazon today, telling me of a new Hank III product, and lo and behold, it is the LP. In other words, you […]

First off, thanks to EVERYONE who spent the time to report the fake Hank III site here on MySpace, and thanks to Declared Ungovernable for sniffing it out. I got something else to say here, just so it’s set in stone, and it is not aimed at any particular person or situation, but it’s something […]

So this is another installment of news that is important, but no specific topic is big enough to support a whole blog, so here we go: Bob Wayne’s Working Man: (Bob Wayne with Hank III’s famous Guild) If you’ve browsed my comments section lately, you might’ve seen that I got confirmation that Bob Wayne is […]
This is Big Wayne: Big Wayne likes beer. He also likes Hank Williams and Hank Williams III. But Big Wayne is confused. He doesn’t understand why Hank Williams is not a member of the Grand Ole Opry, even though they use his image, likeness, and songs to promote themselves. He doesn’t understand why a man […]
Before I get started on the tour thing, I got some house cleaning items: 1. If you don’t know who Restless in Amsterdam is then you should, and if you do, please stop by and send her a quick message. Her computer is on the fritz, and she can’t participate as much as she’d like […]
