More Mudding/Long Hauls Videos Coming Soon !!! Just wanted to let you guys know, it has come to the attention of the Outlaw Country Blog that there will be a different edit of the Long Hauls & Close Calls video DONE BY HANK III himself that will be made available in about 10 days or […]
First: On Friday I got my much belated, but much anticipated Metal Farm Magazine in the mail! Now I knew there was going to be pictures of Hank III done by Keith Neltner and Reinstate Hank Williams content, BUT NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THE HOT CHICKS!!! Dude, there are hot women in their skivies in […]
I’m going to address this JMC thing real quickly, but I’m not going to linger on it. I started this thing to help out Hank III, Hank Sr., and all the great underground country music artists out there, and I’m not going to be derailed by anyone or anything. Just so you know, Sugar, a […]
Reviews keep coming in for Damn Right, Rebel Proud . Here’s a new one from The Boot: “Hank Williams III, as his name suggests, is third-generation country-music royalty. But the grandson of Hank Williams, and son of Hank Williams Jr., unabashedly blends the family tradition of “good ol’ country,” with some startlingly darker fare, and […]
So I’d like to be writing today about the new reviews out for Hank III’s new album Damn Right, Rebel Proud, or maybe about the Metal Farm Magazine I got in the mail this morning. Or maybe I would be writing Forgotten Outlaw Part 3 or Ode to the Hellbetties of the past. But instead, […]
So a couple of times when I’ve posted a roasting of a some pop country blowhard, I’ll get someone to send me a message similar to this: Hey Dumbass, (or whatever) So you talk shit about pop country, but you admit you never listen to it. So how would you know if it sucks or […]
Saturday morning I woke up after sleeping one off, and listened to Tim Pop’s 100th podcast, and then listened to It Burns When I Pee’s latest offering. Both shows were great, and after listening, I got this weird sense, like there was something big going on. Something very big. I guess I’ve always known that […]
Wasn’t planning to post a blog today but there’s a bunch of random shit to talk about, so here we go. First off sorry to everyone who tried to leave comments or kudos on my blog yesterday and got an error message. Stupid MySpace. Another Hank III Impostor If you go here you can see […]
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 […]
First of all, if you did not catch all of the news about it all over the bulletin board, Hank Williams legendary steel guitar player Don Helms died yesterday. I’d done a blog on him about a month ago after he suffered a minor heart attack, and you can read it by clicking here. Most […]
Before I get into the meat of part 2, I forgot to mention in part 1 that Shel Silverstein ALSO was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002. But I’m a little confused about this, because he died in 1999, and as the Grand Ole Opry has told us over and over […]
Some of the coolest shit that happens in these blogs happens down in the comment section. I hope all you people read down there too, because they usually have just as much good information as up above. My last blog was no exception. Wayne gave us the great story behind the song Up Against the […]
First: –The good news came down yesterday that Restless in Amsterdam finally has had her number cruncher rescued from spybot virus hell, and is now back on the warpath for the Hank & Hank movements. Great news for us, bad news for the Nashville mob bosses. –The release of the Hank III Collector’s Tin HAS […]
They finally released a track list for the new Hank III Collector’s Tin available for pre-order now, and coming out on August 19th. The first tracks are as you would expect, in order how they were released on CD. But check out the last tracks: 40. Down In Houston41. I Could Never Be Ashamed Of […]
Damn Right, Rebel Proud Now Can be Pre-Ordered!! You can pre-order it on Amazon by CLICKING HERE, or you can check your favorite online CD store to see if you can pre-order through them. Why is this important? Because it means there’s no turning back for Curb Records. Now they HAVE TO release the album. […]
Monday night I got to see Bob Wayne & the Outlaw Carnies the way REAL country music should be seen: in a small town, in a small bar with a neon sign buzzing outside. Smoke was in the air and beer was flowing. Good times. Following is my official concert review. If you poke around […]
He’d Tell ‘Em All To Suck His Dick That line comes from the first song on Damn Right, Rebel Proud , due out Oct. 21st, ‘The Grand Ole Opry’: (if you haven’t heard or seen it before) So who was Jimmy Martin? Well, if you want to read a full bio you can click here […]
Well, it was more of a toss, but . . .” At freehank3.org, I have a saying: It’s not about me, it’s about III. But I’m making an exception because this is a funny ass story. I had totally forgotten about that night until I got a friend request from a great Australian band called […]
Now before I get started, let me just say the intention with this blog IS NOT TO START DRAMA OR CONTROVERSY! All I am trying to do is get the CORRECT information out there. Also, this blog is a part 2. If you have not read part 1, I recommend you do so because there […]
First, I get to toot my own horn, ’cause sometime a few days ago this blog passed the 10,000 mark for page hits! At posting I had 10,340 total hits on the blog. That’s not too bad for only being around for 3 1/2 months. Thanks to EVERYONE for reading, subscribing, and all that stuff, […]
Check This Out: I’m not lying when I tell you that without asking Mr. Google, I could not name you one song, not even one song by Kenny Chesney or Keith Urban. I just don’t pay attention to pop country. But the other day when I was sitting in Subway enjoying a scrumptious footlong for […]
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 […]
Some of you might know this story, and some of you don’t. Some of you will find it interesting, some of you won’t. But I felt inclined to include it here because it involves one of our country heroes: Waylon Jennings. Waylon got his break into the music scene by playing bass for Buddy Holly, […]
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 […]
