Free Music Review: Ghostly nostalgia with daring originality
Hit: 5 Stars
Much has already been said about this album . . .and I don't know what more I can add...except that for me, one of the most brilliant concepts about the album is that Hank Williams III seems to be raising his own grandfather's ghost while at the same time forcible keeping his own beautiful originality intact.
The last song "Blue Devil" is particularly haunting, not only because it reflects the split nature of all three Hank Williams singers, but also because the editing in the piece recalls those late nights of driving across lonely stretches of the Arizona desert and trying to listen to country western songs on some distant and fading AM station.
In closing I might also add that it's seems a bit strange to find photos on this album of bits and pieces of an old car's backseat, which may or may not have reference to his own grandfather untimely death in the backseat of a Cadillac in 1953. And how Hank Williams III's music is somehow forever connected to his own grandfather's nostalgia of good western music.
Risin' Outlaw Poster
This is what rockin' country is supposed to sound like. Shelton Hank Williams, grandson of the country music icon, shows everything he's got on "I Don't Know," his debut's opening track: breakneck fiddle; fancy picking, equal parts Nashville and Macon; flexible rhythm section; wounded, piercing vocals; and unforgiving songs of rage, recklessness, and rejection. He then spends the rest of the CD refining it, song by song. As a writer, he has a real flair for imagery and the sturdy hook, and he also has good taste in remakes. Yes, there is some posturing; occasionally it feels like his nose for trouble, sense of despair, and wild eyes spring from listening to all the right records rather than out of anyone's real life. But for the most part, Hank III seems to come by these things the old-fashioned way: he earns them. Already. If he doesn't earn too much, he's going to do great things. --John MorthlandCountry Music CDs
