The Reinstate Hank movement is looking for volunteers to help with a couple of camera shoots. One will be on June 6th & 7th at the CMA Fan Fair, and the other is in Georgiana, Alabama that same weekend. If you can help out or [...]
“The .357 String Band keeps it raw, real, & dirty on and off stage, and have only begun to show us how much they have to offer.”
Hank III
Today is a good day for America, because the new .357 String Band album Fire & Hail is finally available on CD Baby.
For [...]
This will probably not be my most popular blog, but there’s some things I want to get on the record as saying. I am also going to talk a little bit about myself, which is something I vowed to do very very little of when I started this thing.
But I want to talk a little [...]
On Memorial Day, I thought I’d pay tribute to a song by a fallen oldtimer.
One of the things I like about Shelton Hank III, and one of the things I’m sure you like is his open rebellion against pop country music. When you hear songs like ‘Trashville,’ Dick in Dixie,’ and ‘Not Everybody Likes [...]
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL ?!?!
Well your ass will have to wait till September.
This is not going to be a roasting of Hank Williams Jr. I know that lately it seems like he’s whoring himself at every turn on CMT, and that he hangs out with Kid Rock and all that. But [...]
I wanted to write some stuff about the AMCA’s that happened on Sunday, but to be honest, I can’t find the passion to. We all know that Kenny Chesney has no dick, and that the fact that he’s won ‘Entertainer of the Year’ the last three years is a joke. And there’s a reason that [...]
So my plan for today was to to roast the limp dicks and lushes who won awards at Sunday’s American Country Music Awards, but then I heard from this dude:
He is a DJ at Revolution FM and the host of the ‘Big G’s Texas Roadshow.’ Revolution FM has radio stations all over Central [...]
The title of this blog is the name of the sixth track of Damn Right, Rebel Proud , still waiting to be released by Curb Records.
Truth is I’m a little pissed right now, and I’m sorry this shit is so long, but that’s the way it is.
Just like everyone else I’m [...]
If you have found your way to this dark corner of the internet, then you probably hate how homogenized radio has become. And if you were asked what you would like to hear on the radio, you would probably say you wanted to hear the great old stuff from Hank Sr. and Johnny Cash, [...]
So since I am a ‘friend’ of Curb Records, I get a the occasional friend request from some pop country fucktard who seems to gloss over the fact that what I’m doing here boils down to a ‘fuck pop country campaign.’ For example, look at this fairy tale fucker who just sent me a [...]
It is said that in this world of ours 1% of people are actually pushing the cart, and the rest are just riding in the back. Well Darren of Montana Section 08 Productions is one of that 1%.
This guy is a promoter up in Montana, but in truth he’s done so much [...]
Tim Pop Live Podcast Mentions the Free Hank III Movement !
All of you should go to timpoplive.com and listen to his last two podcasts: 87 & 88. BOTH mention the Free Hank III Movement, including our assault on Curb’s MySpace site. His next podcast is also going to be an ALL COUNTRY [...]
If you think that Hank Williams Sr. is the only person to get crossways with the Opry, check out this sordid history:
DeFord Bailey:
DeFord Bailey was the most influential harmonica player of the early 20th Century, and is known as the ‘Lost Legend of the Grand Ole Opry.’ The Opry owes this [...]
All right all of you Hellbillies and Hellbetties, consider yourselves ORGANIZED!
To help keep this thing moving forward, I’ve just launched freehank3.org.
I did this for a few reasons:1. Any knucklehead can start a MySpace page, but it takes a little more effort (and $$$) to start a website. This will [...]
So let’s face it, modern radio is made to appeal to the widest possible audience and the least common denominator, which is not you or me, but the pimpled high school girl looking for something to lip sinc to in front of her bathroom mirror, or for the rich college frat boy to have on [...]

This week Curb Records cash cow recording artist Tim McGraw released a new single with famed glam/hair rock androgynous, spandexed-out, lipsticked-up superband Def Leppard. McGraw, trying to save the last gasps of a dying career, sings on the song and is also given co-writer credits. If you haven’t heard it, [...]
There’s a great new article featuring Shelton Hank III at Cashville411.com about the Reinstate Hank Sr. movement, with lots of info about how and why he started it, and what his plans are with it.
That cashville411.com site is a cool site too, esp. if you’re a Nashville resident. I’ve found myself [...]
