I guess, according to the myspace site www.myspace.com/outlawcountryblog Hank III’s latest album, supposedly called “Damn Right, Rebel Proud”, isn’t being released by Curb Records, the same kind of deal that happened with his last album “Straight To Hell” – Here’s the information from their Web site:
Shelton Hank Williams III is a living legend of country music and a modern-day country music outlaw. Just as Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings fought for creative control, more exposure, and quick turnaround of their albums back in the mid-1970’s, Hank III does so today.blog, where I’ll keep you informed about Hank 3, as well as all of the members of the modern Outlaw Country movement including reviews of albums, tour info, vids & pics, etc
Just like his last album Straight to Hell was held up by his label, Curb Records, his new album Damn Right, Rebel Proud is also not being given a release date.
With the Hank Williams name, Hank III could’ve been a superstar and made millions riding on his dad’s and granddad’s coattails. But Hank III has proven over and over to be his own man who does things his own way, whether the money is there or not. He is also the leader of the modern Outlaw Country movement, and a champion of the old and true style of country music.
Hank III’s fight is not just about country music. You may not like country music or you may not like Hank III’s music, but his fight is the same fight artists of all walks are fighting for creative control of their art. Weather you are a musician, painter, writer, sculptor, whatever, Hank III’s fight is your fight, and he serves as an inspiration to us all.
