Since it is a slow lazy Saturday, I thought I would geek out on a little country music history. There are lots of names for the different styles of country music: Bluegrass, Progressive, Pop, Alt., Roots, & Outlaw to name a few. Dale Watson, who was featured in a new article this week likes to [...]
Listen, as far as I’m concerned this thing is not over yet. I’ve had a lot f people emailing and leaving messages wondering what I’m going to do next or if I’m just going to quit this thing, but my plan is not to quit until the Mission Statement is completely satisfied. The Mission Statement [...]
Just in from hank3.com : “A true release date for “Damn Right & Rebel Proud” has been decided. This will have an official press release in the VERY near future. Thank you to everyone for your support, but for the time being there is no need to reach out to Curb about “Damn Right & [...]
A lot of the detractors of Shelton Hank Williams III have never or will never give his music a chance simply because they can’t imagine him doing anything but riding off his family name. Furthermore there are some detractors that have figured out that Hank III’s first name is ‘Shelton,’ and with this little bit [...]

I’m really disappointed in you people. I’m in dispose for a few days, and all of a sudden Curb’s phone number of (615) 321-5080 is circulating all around the internet, and even worse, people are CALLING Curb Records at (615) 3210-5080, voicing their displeasure that Hank III’s new album Damn Right, Rebel Proud is still [...]
Well it finally happened. Curb Records finally found the coordinates of the freehank3.org compound, and dispatched the flying monkeys to descend on my ass. So it’s time to pull up stakes here in the isolated mountains of northern New Mexico and head further west. Moving sucks, but there ain’t nothing I love more than a [...]
Before I get into the meat of this post, I need to do some house cleaning: For those of you that did not see the bulletin from the Hank 3 music page the other day, they announced that the much delayed Damn Right, Rebel Proud album will have additional tracks on it when it is [...]

I’d seen the Paul Sutherland video months and months back, but there seems to have been a resurgence of it lately, so I thought I’d turn it aside for the trash it is. If you haven’t seen it, this is what I’m talking about: Listen Paul Sutherland: Just ’cause you got a buzz cut and [...]

Hey Everyone, I’ve been asked to post this from the Reinstate Rally Crew for all participants in the Reinstate Hank rally this weekend at the CMA Fan Fair in Nashville, or anybody who wants to participate: “Hank III will be set up inside the Bluegrass in tomorrow roughly from 12 to 2 CST on lower [...]
This weekend many devoted hellibillies will be showing their support for the Reinstate Hank movement at the CMA Fan Fair, including Cathy and Wayne who’ve been great supporters for Free Hank III also. Since I live some 1,500 miles away I can’t attend, but I wanted to show my support. I could let down my [...]
I always liked the song, but never knew about any of the people or stories that Hank III was singing about. Over the last few months, I’ve gotten bits and pieces from bulletins and videos from CuzN Wildweed who right now is in West Virginia attending the funeral of Birtie Mae, the miracle woman, mother [...]
