People may think that the children of movie stars and musicians have it easy. Well sometimes they do and other times they dont. At the age of 33 Hank Williams III has had quite the colorful life. Hes done nearly every drug you can find. Hes been playing music since he was a kid and after years of being stuck in country western loop hes broken out with the double disc album Straight to Hell.

Buy Straight to Hell

Daniel Robert Epstein: What are you up to today?

Hank Williams III: Nada.

I've listened to NOTHING but Straight To Hell since it came out.

The man is /real/ and that is refreshing.

Hank III is a great artist, a better performer, and a damn nice guy to boot.......once AssJack took the stage, I about didn't make it out of the venue alive. A true outlaw in today's musical landscape!

I have been listenin to his Hellbilly shit for about a year, have seen his live show (which kicks MAJOR ass) once and plan on seein him when he comes to Lawrence Ks. this time around.

Hey, I know that guy! I used to party with him after shows on his tour bus behind the Continental Club in Austin. I was friends with his fiddle player, Michael McCanless (RIP).

Here's a couple pics I took:

Ahhh, good times, good times...

His grandaddy was my first musical Love.

In fact, the first song I wrote (and since then I've written hundreds - though most of them suck), back in 1973, was a cheesyass tribute to Hank Sr.

Now I'm growing to love HWIII as well, and best of all, IT'S ON HIS OWN MERIT!

HW:
You're talking to a man who won a $30,000 truck for racing in a game online. .Out of a thousand drivers I made it to the final four and walked away with a brand new, 2001 Toyota Tundra.

You can win cars and shit just from gaming!??? My life's been a waste ..... where's my joystick!
