...And speakin' of Hank the III ..uhhhh, I WAS wasn't I?? Anyway, how about that guy!! He's just too cool. So why don't we hear him on the radio?? Well, that's easy enough to figure out. First, he's totally country (when he SINGS country) He does sing some other stuff too, like ROCK!! He's become an "outlaw" now. But heck, the guy's gotta make a living!! Still, when he's singin' country music, he sounds soooo much like his grampa, its downright SCARY!! And I suppose, the radio folks think he's just .well.TOO country!!
Never mind that Hank Williams was one of the greatest legends of our time. That doesn't count now. If you don't POP, you don't AIR!! Simple as that!

I have his latest CD, and have been listening to it for the past couple of days. What a great album! And what a great sound! Oh, by the way, I've seen this guy on TV, too.of course, that was waaaaay back when TNN actually had country shows on its network, and you could actually see and hear REAL country music there! . Anyway, back to Hank.yep, he was on TV a year or so ago, and what a treat THAT was! He was hilarious! And he was so talented, musically, that I was stunned! I truly had NO idea that this guy was even MAKIN' records! Maybe that's cause I'd never heard him on my "country" music radio station, ya think?

Hank,III was here, in town, not long ago, but I missed him, unfortunately. I would have loved to see this guy in person! But I got reports.from GOOD sources.who told me young Hank was amazing. I really didn't expect anything less. I mean, if ONLY you could hear him on the radio.. Ooohmygosh. I can't even IMAGINE the FIRST Hank Williams sounding any better than this namesake of his! What a riot, too! He's so full of humor. He's fun to
listen to, fun to watch..and fun to be around, I'm sure...Why oh why, do we never get a chance to hear him? .Well, that's life on the "row" these days, I guess. Soon as the "suits" took it over, they gave away the store!! Now, I ask ya. What's a Yankee girl to do??????? Hmmm?

Well, never mind. Hank Williams III is a superior artist! He can sing, he can perform, and he's country with a capitol C! Yeah, yeah, he sings "rock" too, but like I said.when you have to put bread and butter on the table, you do what you have to do. And even if you're NOT in great need of the money, a true performer, just HAS to perform, no matter what. Country, Rock, Blues.the man has GOT to sing! But do yourself a favor. Get yourself
out to the nearest music store, music website, or even HIS website, and pick up one of his CD's. That is, if you REALLY like country music!

Now, I just KNOW you'll agree with me on this one. But in case you don't ..just remember what I always say....its only....
