Hank Williams III

Grandson of Hank Williams and son of Hank Williams Jr., Hank Williams III is an American musician known for blending traditional country with punk and metal elements and for a confrontational, outlaw stance.

Born May 12, 1972; birth name Shelton Hank Williams; publicly known as Hank3; has had a well-documented dispute with the Curb record label over releases such as Hillbilly Joker.

The available review frames Hank Williams III as an irreverent heir to a country dynasty who fuses country with punk and metal. Hillbilly Joker is presented as one of his hardest, most rock-oriented records and was subject to a disputed release with his label Curb. Live shows are described as two-part affairs: traditional country first, then a loud rock/Assjack set. The review praises attitude, rhythm and the album's wild character.
