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 […]
That’s right, Waylon Jennings is going to release a new album!!! From Billboard: “”Waylon Forever,” billed as the final recordings from outlaw legend Waylon Jennings, will be released Oct. 21 on Vagrant Records, Billboard.com can reveal. The eight-song set features remakes of Waylon classics, surprising covers and a new Jennings original, all backed by the […]
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. Thanks to Johnny Wright Jr. for doing a lot of the work on this, and also Blake Judd & Keith Neltner. I’m gonna get that on savingcountrymusic.com as soon […]
Just down from hank3.com: The muddin’ version of ‘Long Hauls and Close Calls’ ALSO: Yep that’s none other than Shelton Hank III and Hank Jr. hanging out with none other than Jesco White. Here’s the scoop: “Recently, a meeting of the outlaws took place in Paris TN for the filming of “The Wild and Wonderful […]
Above is a piece of poster art done by none other than Keith Neltner , Hank III’s poster and album cover artist, and member of the Metal Farm Magazine staff. I don’t know a whole lot about the Avett Bros., except they’re from the Carolinas, and there seems to be a lot of fans of […]
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 […]
Here we go! Freehank3.org’s 1st Annual Country Music Football Fire Up! Jessica Simpson & Carrie Underwood Get Nasty! Well we love to hate both these girls for their fake pop country lip-sync over-modulated bullshit, but apparently they both love to hate each other! Seems Carrie Underwood was once upon a time getting her laundry peeled […]
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 […]
How to Order Damn Right Rebel Proud on Vinyl I have had a ton of people asking me about this, so please help me spread the word. For those of you that haven’t heard, Hank III’s new album Damn Right, Rebel Proud is going to be released in limited quantities in a record version. The […]
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 […]
