“I just did 25 shows from coast to coast
Whether wired or tired, I tried to give it my most
And there ain’t no feeling like when a bar gets rowdy and loud
And you can look back and say Luke the Drifter would be proud.
Well getting tight and staying out all night is tough
But no matter how much I drink and dance
I just don’t seem to get enough
And I still got a few more bucks so let’s go another round.
And hold our heads up high cause Luke the Drifter would be proud
Well this worn out guitar and these silly songs
Have gotten nothing me but broke.
I got a worn out gut, a bad attitude
And I’m at the end of my goddamn rope
And I’ve run this old life right in to the ground
But I can look back and say Luke the Drifter would be proud.”

New Article About Free Hank III !!!
curb – (n.) a barrier, designed to keep good stuff from the masses.
That’s how a new article about Hank III and the Free Hank III movement starts out in this month’s edition of the Hill Country Happenings . Gordon Ames, one of the DJ’s on Revolution Radio is the author. Revolution Radio is a huge supporter of Hank III and other underground/outlaw country artists. I listen to it online when I want to listen to a country music radio station, instead of turning on my local country station trying to shove Toby Keith and Keith Urban down my throat.
To see the article, go to hchappenings.com and click “Click Here for the PDF Magazine” and it is on page 11. And of course if you’re from the Texas Hill Country, pick up a copy.
Do me a favor and help spread the word about this, and rumble on over to Gordon Ames’ MySpace site and tell him you appreciate him supporting Free Hank III.
‘Big G’ Gordon is people who knows people in the Outlaw Country/Texas Music scene. Here he is hanging with Unknown Hinson:
I’m trying to get as much press coverage as I can to help spread the word about what they’re doing to Hank III, and hopefully this is one of many articles to come, unless Curb gives up the ghost soon and I can call the dogs off.
Thanks to Gordon, to everyone spreading the word about Hank III, and all the people who helped with the Reinstate Hank rally this weekend.
If you want to see pictures of the rally, check out Cathy’s Myspace site under her picture folders.

Revolution Radio Supports the Free Hank III Movement!
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 and West Texas, and they are huge fans and supporters of Hank III and REAL country music. I’ve been listening to them online all day, and thanks to Big G they’ve been doing ‘tall boys’ (two songs in a row) from Hank III, mentioning the Free Hank III movement, and letting people know how Curb Records is screwing him over!
Also, Gordon writes for The Hill Country Happenings , and they are going to do a piece about the situation with Hank III in the upcoming June edition!
So let’s support the people that are supporting us and Hank III. You can add Gordon ‘Big G’ Ames & The Big Texas Roadshow Here , and you can add Revolution FM Here .
I knew that Big G Gordon was one of us when I was talking on the phone with him and he had me call me back because he had to take a ‘Kenny Chesney.’ In other words, he had to vacate his bowels. He’s on a first name basis with people like Willie Nelson and Robert Earle Keen, and is a hell of a good person to have on board with us.
I’ve been trying to do what I can to get more radio stations and media outlets on board because even now there’s people who’ve never heard of Hank III, or haven’t heard his music, or even worse, think it’s his fault the new album isn’t out. I also just added a lot more content to freehank3.org to give people more information about what’s happening to III and what we can do about it.
I’ll let you know when the Hank III Hill Country Happenings article drops, and I’m trying to put some audio together of all the different Free Hank III stuff from the radio and podcasts.
