....reading through the posts above, I seem to remember almost the same comments being made about Hank Jr when he was a teenager and the promoters were trying to make him into a copy of his daddy.....he eventually found his own "place" in the music world with his own audience as I'm sure Hank III will eventually do.....

Speaking of Bocephus not playing into the "Nashville" mold, while still collecting the money, how many of y'all have his newer album "Stormy" (1999)? Man that's ANOTHER great one! Personally, I like the aptly named "Tricephus" as a good continuation of "outlaw country." I like anybody who can look the big man in the the face and tell him where to stick it, especially when it comes to music styles.

Now is this H3 metal or cow punk?Judging
by the way he looks or has looked, he looks
cow punk.But as i'm sure we all know,looks
are very decieving these days.
p.s. If H3 is country's kid rock,will
the real kid rock go away?(just a thought)

I'm sure his music isn't as bad as it sounds.

Jim, looks like Andy put his email address in the homepage slot. Put your reading glasses on, Jim.*

I just listened to some cuts of his new CD. It sounds "dated". What's he trying to do? I expected to hear something cutting edge.

It depends what you call cowpunk, now I always thought that Jason & The Scorchers were the most fake-a$$ band around, just revved heartland rock.
Now, if you want to talk about the Knitters, X, the Slaughtermen and the Blasters.. well I dig that messed up swagger. If H3 (I love that) falls between BR549 and the Blasters, heck I'd be down the front doing the pogo!

I think this CD holds up well beside his 2000 release. The influence on me was that I went out and bought Springstiens Nabraska after
listening to samples of Atlantic City.
Hank upped the tempo.

He played outside of Rochester a few months ago and was pretty bad doing the rock stuff. Sounded like a garage band. Too bad, because we do a couple of his country tunes in my band. I really like his "Risin Outlaw" CD. I thought his country band was great.

I haven't heard what he does, but can you imagine the pressure and expectations that kid is under.

I'm on the fence, I think. I like both those cds, but it sometimes sounds like he's trying too hard. It's got to be hard to be in his shoes, that's for sure.
Two things I can say for sure though:
1)Kayton plays absolutely beautifully on the latest record
and
2)H3 has the best pronunciation of the word "drunk" I've ever heard. Sort of like "drounk".
