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 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 three hour 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.
"If they gave Hank III a Grammy he'd probably just throw it up in the air and blow it all to Hell
with his twelve gauge. He's a true artist, a real friend and a fellow troubadour."
-Unknown Hinson, The King of Country
Western Troubadours
"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
"Like every Hank in his family, Hank III has alot of Hank Sr. in him, a lot of Jr. in him and
helluva lot of his own God given fire in him. He is as important to this generation of music
lovers as his roots would predict. Hank III is a dose of Hard Core reality you won't find in
today's candy assed country music."
-Dale Watson, Ameripolitan recording
artist
"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
