Here’s the blurb from the publisher:

Covering three generations of Hank Williams, Family Tradition is both unique and vast in scope. Beginning in the present day with Hank III who gave the author unprecedented access and time-traveling across the years, this examines just what kind of rebel mojo inspired this crazed family of country music, from Hank Sr. often regarded as one of the most influential of American musicians to Hank Jr., to this year’s model, Hank III, who has somehow found a way to reconcile his legacy’s deep-rooted twang and high-lonesome sound with particularly searing strains of punk and heavy metal, launching an all-out war with traditional Nashville in the process.

You can pre-order the book now through Amazon. The ISBN is 9781617130069  and UPC: 884088352141 for folks wanting to order at your local bookshop or request at your library.

Thanks to Hank III’s webmaster Mike for the heads up!
