Hank III is the grandson of Hank Williams and the son of Hank Williams Jr., and he had cut his teeth in punk bands before stepping up to the country microphone. Here he leans hard into traditional honky-tonk, and his reedy, high-lonesome voice carries an uncanny echo of his grandfather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songs stick close to classic country forms, full of hard-living stories, heartache and dance-hall rhythms. \"If the Shoe Fits\" and \"Honky Tonk Girls\" wear their old-school influences proudly, while \"87 Southbound\" keeps one eye on the highway. His take on \"Cocaine Blues\", the murder ballad made famous by Johnny Cash, hints at the outlaw edge he would sharpen on later records.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross 13 tracks, the arrangements stay lean and traditional, leaving plenty of room for that voice to do the heavy lifting, just as the old masters intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans who know his wilder later work, this is the starting point, the moment a famous last name first became a sound of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57287069270321,"sku":"715187794900","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_01bfdf5b-338d-4002-b9ae-f700272a9517.jpg?v=1793726176","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/hank-williams-iii-risin-outlaw-25th-anniversary-edition-colored","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
