Preview Entire Songs of Hank III’s New Album !
Hank III’s latest record Rebel Within to be released May 25th is now available for preview through Amazon.com, where you can listen to ALL the songs, IN THEIR ENTIRETY! Just CLICK HERE, and navigate over to the player on the right.
You’ll want to get over there and get your listen on ASAP, because the entire songs are likely only to be up there for a limited time, then you’ll only get samples. Many artists are beginning to offer entire album previews ahead of release dates to increase interest. For example you can stream Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers new album Agridustrial as well by CLICKING HERE.
Just listened to it one time through and it is still sinking in, but I REALLY like what I’m hearing. For those that thought his last album Damn Right, Rebel Proud was a departure, you’ll at least think this is a step up. Really like the songs “Lookin’ For A Mountain” and “Tore Up and Loud.” The song “Karmageddon” shows a lot of Those Poor Bastards influence, like Kaw-Liga meets Lonesome Wyatt.
Full review coming soon.

Awesome! Into the third song now, he’s definitely kicked up the country vibe.

Reminds me of Lovesick, Broke, & Drifting, with more edge. I like it, a lot.

Too bad he didn’t make the rowdier songs aren’t more muddy sounding. Compared to Straight To Hell, they seem a little bit pretentious… Still a great album though.

Cathy,
III was pretty critical of DRRP himself.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I really needed it. It does sort of remind me of Lovesick, Broke & Driftin…and I agree it’s got more edge to it…Also, there is an air of hard fought freedom to it which I really like. Great way to start a wednesday!

All I can say is that I hope III doesn’t turn out to be song #5. Hank say’s @ every show not to grab the gun and do yourself in. That that’s the pu**y way out. To me the needle is his gun. We need you around Hank!! Hopefully you he can get his heroin under control. Hard to beat Straight To Hell. My opinion. But still a great album.

J Bair,
In interviews he’s said that song is about a friend. Maybe that’s code, but I don’t think he has a needle problem. He may have in the past, but not now.
April 7, 2010 @ 12:21 pm
I knew it wasn’t going to be as bad as 3 was putting on. I thought what i listened to was good. Still nowhere close to as good as Straight to Hell good none the less.

fanFUCKINtastik,Triggerman!!! thanks for the link!
April 7, 2010 @ 4:24 pm
Shit, I wish I could go listen right now! However, I need to meet up with my friends and get ready to see the REAL THING here in Missoula tonight! Fuck yeah, Hank III here I come!!!
April 7, 2010 @ 9:52 pm
Fuckin’ awesome!! i can’t wait.
April 8, 2010 @ 7:26 am
honestly…the best I can do here is muster up some enthusiastic apathy. I feel like I’ve heard this song before. Hopefully it’ll grow on me with a few more listens.
April 8, 2010 @ 11:58 am
Hell YEA!!

Great show from Hank III last night! What a great bunch of musicians he surrounds himself with. Andy Gibson is fuckin’ amazing! I also was really digging Zach Shedd, glad he made the tour. He was really interacting with the crowd, making eye contact and everything. They played two new songs, “Rebel Within” and one I didn’t recognize (yet). Turley wasn’t bad, wasn’t great either. Great, great night!
April 9, 2010 @ 10:31 am
meh. It’s decent, but I think I like DRRP better. No offense to Mr. III. I’m just glad it’s his last record with Curb and now we can get to the real deal.
April 9, 2010 @ 3:20 pm
This is about as good as Straight To Hell. . good production and steppin up from DRRP with the exception of P.F.F.,H8 Line, Long Hauls, 3 Shades, Wild and Free, Stoned and Alone, and The Grand Ole Opry or maybe the whole album just better production and sound … though I’m sure after the contract is up that there will be more varied subject matter than ‘livin hard and fast’ from means that are possibly too gluttonous for poor ol workin men like me to afford.I want to hear a song like some of Clayton’s damnit … get offensive lol!

Been listening every evening since Wednesday. The feel of the album reminds me of the first time I heard “Lovesick” but this has more of the attitude of “Straight to Hell”. Best way I can describe it. It’s pretty damn raw too and I love it. I can’t wait to have it on disc and it’s going to get a lot of play on the ipod too. I’m also grateful that we didn’t have to wait near as long for this one.
April 10, 2010 @ 7:00 am
The title track is an “instant classic”. Forgot to mention that I love the variety here too. I’ve never heard him do anything like “Karmageddon”.
April 10, 2010 @ 2:31 pm
Thanks so much for posting the link! Am listening to it now and digging it, yep definitely better than I was anticipating, just because Shelton didn’t seem very enthusiastic about it. But he’s in form, his voice sounds amazing.
April 10, 2010 @ 6:08 pm
Great departure Shelton.
Great fuckin album.
April 11, 2010 @ 10:02 am
First listen I’d have to say Holy shit fukcin awesome!!! Thanks for info-KILLER !!!
April 13, 2010 @ 11:39 pm
REAL FUCKIN’ COUNTRY MUSIC..I LIKE THE WHOLE DAMN ALBUM..I HAD HEARD THEM ALL BUT TO LISTEN TO THE FINISHED PRODUCTION IS GREAT..I CAN RELATE TO IT IS WHY I MIGHT LIKE IT..HANK III IS FREE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
April 17, 2010 @ 7:26 am
I just keep coming back. Can’t wait till I can hear it when not tethered to the pc. I still can’t get over “Karmageddon”.
April 21, 2010 @ 12:00 pm
Yes, I listened to the entire songs too, I like the whole album. Looking for a Mountain is a favorite because there is that Waylon beat in it, and Tore Up & Get Loud I let my camera roll in Cologne Germany where he did that song, I thought it was called Down In Houston, well, there all great songs again. Can’t wait to receive the album with the mail around June…
