Rather than hide from his musical legacy, the grandson of Hank Williams spends most of his second album wholeheartedly embracing grandpa's formidable work. While all the songs on LOVESICK, BROKE & DRIFTIN' are self-penned, Hank III and producer Joe Funderburk go out of their way to painstakingly emulate the sound of vintage Hank Williams recordings; instrumentation, arrangements, recording equipment, the whole nine yards. Naturally, there's no way the young Hank can approach his grandfather's songwriting mastery (neither can anyone else, and he'd be a fool to try), but the voice is eerily similar to that of the country icon, and Hank III knows just how to employ it for maximum chill factor. Here and there, Williams's rock & roll roots peek out just a bit, but for the most part, this is a sincere musical love letter to the original honky-tonk style and it's foremost practitioner.

Q (1/02, p.108) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...yodel[s] and howl[s] at the moon without a trace of irony....slapped bass and yearning steel guitar..."

Hank Snr Lives.
This,the second release(following the brilliant ''risin'outlaw'')is another welcome dose of true,heart to heart,honky tonk music.Forget the raucous,rocking rubbish that his father continually released,both of Hank 3's cd's take you back to the black and white,Hank Snr days.Buy both cd's and enjoy REAL country music!!!!!

Hank III is bound to carry on the family tradition of being a legend in his own time. Eat your heart out Bocephus, I think Hank III has the quality of Hank Sr in both his voice and song writing abilities. I love this CD. I have been a long time fan of all three Hanks and was very pleased to hear this fresh country music. This is a masterpiece.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No My favorite III album
Hank III really pays tribute to Grandpappy in this fine album, but this ain't no candy-ass country album. He tears through raw country, but with a rock and roll style, even up to an amazing high point when Billy F. GIbbons of ZZ Top joins in on the musical mayhem. I dig this record, I'm sure you will, too.

Principally recorded at Curb Studios and Woodland Studios, Nashville, Tennessee.
It's often been said that if Hank Williams himself came back to life today, he couldn't get played on mainstream country radio. With his raw, unabashedly twangy voice and simplistic arrangements, he'd be considered "too country" for a generation ...

After earning a BA in Criminal Justice, a successful college basketball career, years of experience in Youth Corrections, and a season in the Women’s Professional Football League, Misty finally found her calling.This seasoned performer is re-defining the “singer/songwriter chick” genre. Misty’s intricate and percussive guitar playing is making the boys look bad……”cause girls just can’t play like that “. Her sultry voice can bounce from growl to croon without skipping a beat, leaving the listener with a craving for more. Driving rhythms, original techniques, and refreshing lyrics make it hard for the audience to ‘compare’ her to familiar artists, despite hints of a Jason Mraz and Tracy Chapman influence. Capable of a brilliant delivery with or without effects, Misty often uses a Boss RC- 20 XL effects pedal, a Digital Delay 5, Octave pedal, and a Digital Delay 3, to enhance the already captivating performance.In addition to the general public, Misty is catching the ears of industry vets and has been invited to play many legendary rooms including L.A.’s Viper Room, House Of Blues, and The Whisky A Go Go. Having played alongside a number of prominent national artists such as Missy Higgins, Misty continues to learn from those before her by maintaining an open ...
