Sony Music Wholesale Hank Williams Iii Long Gone Daddy Cd

Shelton Hank Williams, better known as Hank III, is an outlaw, a battler of convention. He comes by it naturally: The third generation of Hanks, and the third generation to tilt nobly at country traditions and white-collar establishment sensibilities.
After all, this 39-year-old semi-reformed punk-metal drummer is the son of Hank Jr., a blue-collar hero who has difficulty ducking controversy even on something as Richard Nixon and apple pie American as Monday Night Football.

As illustrated by Long Gone Daddy - Curb's new career-spanning sampler of Hank III songs - this third
generation Hank has never veered from being fiercely independent while staying true in spirit to the path blazed by his family.
Tidy is not a word often associated with the against-the-grain work of Hank III, but it s a fitting way to describe the way Long Gone Daddy packages up a full-bodied sampling of his career, style and influences.
This 10-song collection could have been titled Long Gone Granddaddy for the shuffling country blues flavour of not just the Hank Williams covers but of much of the batch.
Grandpa s contributions, title track I m A Long Gone Daddy and Neath A Cold Gray Tomb of Stone, are complemented by fiddle and steel-drenched songs written by generations he influenced, including Merle Haggard ( The Bottle Let Me Down ), Johnny Cash ( Wreck of the Old 97 ) and Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson ( Good Hearted Woman ).
The singer-songwriter Hank Williams influenced most on this record, at least is Hank III, whose remarkable vocal, including yodelling send-off on the title track, would have been just right on a circa 1950 Grand Ole Opry or Louisiana Hayride stage.
A collection of six previously unreleased recordings and four resurrected from prior releases, the album is an exclamation point on the style and mood of Hank III s 1999 Risin Outlaw breakthrough and acclaimed follow-up Lovesick Broke & Driftin .
As This Ain t Montgomery, a lament of the state of modern country, states: Hank Williams is dead and he ain t comin back here again.
True, of course. But he d be proud of his grandson.
