Free Music Notes for Risin' Outlaw
Free Music Review: Decent album
Hit: 3 Stars
I think this album is pretty good, but by no means wonderful. Hank III only wrote a couple of songs on the album, and the rest are covers. It is a little to "poppy" for my tastes. I was expecting something closer to Johnny Cash or Steve Earle or Norman Blake, something with a little more rough edged sound. Not a bad album though, hopefully he will get better as he ages. I think this album has been mis-represented as "alt-country" or "punk-country", when in fact it is country. Not that there's anything wrong with country, I just suggest it not be produced to sound quite so glossy and clean.Free Music Review: Risin' Outlaw is Absolutely Wonderful!

On a Friday afternoon when I discovered Hank Williams III will be opening the first eight dates of the upcoming Beck tour, I purchased Risin' Outlaw. I saw this release while passing through the record store that same afternoon. This is what country music is supposed to sound like. I can't believe how refreshing it was to listen to this disc. Hank Williams III makes me feel good about the future of country music. I consider much of today's country music to be unlistenable. If Curb Records is not doing everything they can to promote this CD, I will never understand that one. I like this CD as much as ANY purchase I have made in the last year, and that includes all types of music. You can play this CD over and over again. Try it! Being from Nashville, it's nice to have a new example of country music I can stand behind till the end of time. I wish Hank Williams III all of the best in the world. This disc is great, and it made my month.Free Music Review: Country Music...Straight Up

Most alterna-country acts are either primarily rock n' rollers(Joe Ely, Steve Earle) or boring singer/songwriter James Taylor/Gram Parsons/Townes Van Zant wanna-bes. A precious few, like Dale Watson or Wayne Hancock(Who contributes a couple excellent tunes to 'Risin' Outlaw') would have been able to finish a set an an honest to god honky tonk forty years ago without having many, many, bottles of Lone Star/Dixie/Schlitz chucked at their heads. Back then, Hillbilly America(God bless us, every one)liked its music raw, honest, and sans irony. They would have loved Hank III.Free Music Review: Carrying on a Family Tradition....Hank III does it his way!
Hit: 4 Stars
I wasn't around when Hank Jr. lived in the shadow of his famous father by singing his songs and everyone told him, "You ain't as good as your daddy was", and I was only 5 when he cut the landmark album, "Hank Williams, Jr and Friends", which took Jr. on to success in his own right. When I first bought this album I was expecting a Hank Jr. flavored CD. Much the was Hank Jr's early albums had the same sound as Hank Sr. When I heard it I was over whelmed. The only way in which Hank III carries on the family tradition is....he also is a musician. Now we have three generation of Williams' with THREE DIFFERENT SOUNDS. This album is a must for all country music fans especially traditional country fans. Edgy yes...but wasn't Hank Sr. and Hank Jr.Free Music Review: risin'outlaw, risin' star

I have an inventorty of over 3,000 CD's. Risin' outlaw is one of the very best in my collection. Simply put, this is an incredible record. The music is sharply played, cleanly produced and very well mastered. I have turned on numerous friends to the record and all but one agreed wholeheartedly (the other said it was too country, whatever that means). I know that radio will not embrace this record, which is unfortunate, however it will sell. Risin' Outlaw is this years Car Wheel on a Gravel Road (Lucinda Williams excellent 1998 recording). All hail Hank III.
