Hank Williams III – M.F.J.
Biography
The grandson of Hank Williams and the son of Hank Williams Jr., he spent much of his early years playing drums in metal and punk rock bands. In 1996, child support payments led Hank III to sign a contract with Music City giant Curb. Three Hanks: Men With Broken Hearts was issued shortly thereafter, which brought the voices of all three generations of Williams men together. While this may seem to be a nice beginning, it was quite different from what Hank III himself desired musically. Despite having been born in Nashville, Tennessee, Hank III has never had a preference for mainstream country.
While his name (and his uncanny vocal and physical resemblances to his grandfather) could have guaranteed him a thriving country audience, he had no patience for the often predictable Nashville sound, nor for even the minimal constraints on behavior his promoters required. His opinions on this subject are well summed up in the songs “Trashville” and “Dick in Dixie”.
His first album on his own, titled Risin’ Outlaw, was released in September 1999. Lovesick, Broke & Driftin’ was released in 2002.

sarco_pl , you do realize that Long Gone Daddy was released by Curb Records and that the album is a collection of old unreleased Hank III songs? Unfortunately this does not mean that Hank is "back to his country style"... Lets hope though that the next Hank 3 album will not be as terrible as Ghost to a ghost / ghutter town...

Just picked up four of his discs. I'm totally digg'n the use of echo, delay and sound manipulation. The stoner references are a big plus for the community.
