Shelton Hank
Williams III was born December 12, 1972, in Nashville, TN. As the grandson of
Hank Williams and the son of
HankWilliams Jr., he was country
music royalty before he ever sang a note. But he didn't immediately follow his
forebears musically, choosing instead to bang around the Southeast, playing
drums in punk and hardcore combos and smoking prodigious amounts of weed. It was
the outlaw spirit of his lineage, alive and unwell and floating in the bong
water. By 1996, steep child support payments and his thirst for Mother Nature
had forced Hank III onto to the straight and narrow, and he signed a contract
with Music City giant Curb. The label issued Three Hanks: Men with Broken
Hearts, which brought the voices of all three generations of Williams men
together via the ghastly miracles of modern technology. It was about as far from
what Hank III wanted as he could get and signaled the beginning of his stormy
relationship with Curb.
Williams was in a tight spot. While his name, face, and uncanny Vocals
resemblance to his grandfather almost guaranteed him a thriving country
audience, he had no patience for Nashville's squareness and rigid control. He
and his Damn Band could wow a crowd with a spot-on set of gorgeous country
balladry and spirited honky tonk. But III could just as easily shift gears into
screeching, Black Flag-style punk rock with his hard-rocking combo Assjack. He
was the kind of anomaly enormous record companies couldn't stand — eminently
marketable, yet defiantly unpredictable.
Curb issued Hank III's proper debut in September 1999. Entitled Risin' Outlaw,
it presented 13 rough-hewn country numbers colored by Hank's honky tonking
Vocals. And while he played his share of "country" gigs to support it, Williams
also appeared at the 2001 Vans Warped Tour alongside punks like Rancid. The
irascible III also dismissed Outlaw as a label-controlled fiasco almost
immediately after its release. After a few years of touring and trying like mad
to be released from his Curb contract, III returned to wax in early 2002 with
Lovesick, Broke & Driftin'. While Outlaw had featured material from
outside writers, the new LP was all Hank III but for a previously released cover
of Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City." He also produced, recorded, and mixed it
by his lonesome in just two weeks.
At this point Hank's relationship with Curb became even more strained. The label
refused to release his appropriately named This Ain't Country LP, which featured
songs like "Life of Sin" and "Hellbilly." At the same time, it refused to grant
Hank III the rights to issue it on his own. He and the record company reached an
impasse, which III only exacerbated with the "F*** Curb" T-shirts he sold
through his thriving website. Thrown Out of the Bar, his third honky tonk album,
was scheduled for release in 2003, as was the long-awaited This Ain't Country.
Additionally, III issued extremely limited-edition releases through his website
(often in quantities of 100 or less) and continued to play bass in Superjoint
Ritual, the brutal side project of Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo. The
double-disc Straight to Hell was released March 2006 on Bruc Records (the
fledgling rock division of Curb). The first CD contained songs with elements of
traditional country warped to fit Hank III's rebel attitude, while the second
disc boasted only one song that featured just Williams, his guitar, ambient
noises, and a slight story that those coming down from drugs might enjoy. Ever
in the outlaw mode, Williams released Damn Right, Rebel Proud in 2008. His
fourth and supposedly final album for Curb, The Rebel Within, followed in the
spring of 2010. And in a move that hardly pleased Hank III, Curb next repackaged
This Ain't Country, the oft-bootlegged project that started the acrimony between
III and the label in the first place, with additional unreleased material thrown
in, as Hillbilly Joker in 2011. Curb managed to get an eighth album out of a
lapsed six-album contract by releasing another set of previously unreleased
material, Long Gone Daddy (mostly outtakes from 1999's Risin' Outlaw and 2002's
Lovesick, Broke & Driftin') in 2012. In October 2013, Hank III released the two-disc
country album Brothers of the 4x4, alongside the hardcore cowpunk release A
Fiendish Threat.Curb
Records, meanwhile, continued to keep ill will flowing between themselves and
their former artist; Ramblin' Man, a 27-minute album of country-oriented tracks Hank
III primarily recorded for various tribute albums, was released in the spring of
2014, and a year later Curb (using the Bruc alias) dropped a punk and metal-leaning
set, Take as Needed for Pain, which was similarly pieced together from tribute
albums and studio outtakes. As he had done with Curb's previous post-contract
albums, Hank III encouraged his fans not to buy the albums in messages on his
website and social media accounts, suggesting they burn copies borrowed from
friends instead. Continuing to mine Williams' back catalog, Curb issued a Hank
III Greatest Hits collection in September 2017.
