Hank III To Play at Hall of Fame
According to the Country Music Hall of Fame Website, Hank III will be performing there on Oct. 10th at 1:30 PM. Admission is free, or is included in the admission to the Hall.
Here is the official info:
“Hank Williams III, like his father, blends the honky-tonk and country blues of his grandfather with the rock & roll he favors from his own generation. He applies his hard-charging musical arrangements to swaggering, bluntly personal tunes that probe relationships, southern culture, and his distinctly individual view of the world-just like his daddy and granddaddy did.”
“Presented as part of the ongoing exhibition Family Tradition: The Williams Family Legacy, Co-Presented by SunTrust and Ford Motor Company. THIS PROGRAM MAY CONTAIN MATURE CONTENT. Limited seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Included with museum admission. Free to museum members.”
I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again: The Country Music Hall of Fame is one of the last and one of the greatest Nashville institutions that has truly weathered the storm and stayed true to the traditions and to honoring the legacy of REAL country music. Hank III is completely black balled in many Nashville circles, but here again the Hall proves that it can rise above the politics and pedantics of Music City, and strictly focus on the music.

sounds great! is that the same place that Joe Buck once posted a video about? where he saw his shoes or something in one window and was so proud? I liked that.

I went to the Hall of Fame a couple years ago. It gave me chills. That place is AWESOME. I wish I had the funds to go back Oct 10th.

Yes Martin! It was a Swedish documentary, and they follow Joe Buck as he walks around Broadway, and he goes to the Hall of Fame to see the Williams’ family exhibit. Here is part of it:
8:30 is my favorite part of that whole documentary.

yeah right! thanks for digging this up! 8:30 is really touching…
I enjoyed that Trashville film a lot, put Joe Buck in a different light for me, in a good way (not that I didn’t like him before, far from it)
…and I can’t help it, I love Dolly.

Hey Tmac,
There’s two complete versions in three parts on YouTube, and both of them have sound syncing issues. I watched it a bunch of times when it first came out on the Swedish website. It was great quality, great sound, but eventually they took it down. It’s not for sale anywhere. I think it might be on a torrent site somewhere, but I’m not a torrent guy so not sure which one.

Anybody here use the ‘soulseek’ program for file sharing? If you don’t you need to. I need more ‘real country’ and ‘hellbilly’ shit.
