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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 and […]

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, as […]

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 friend […]

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 more for […]

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 dude a […]

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 hopefully give more legitimacy […]
