Description:
Limited edition tin with three CD set. Parental Advisory for Explicit Content. As the name indicates, Hank Williams III is the third in a line of country music royalty, son of Hank Williams Jr. and grandson to the man they simply called Hank. While Hank III is certainly as much of a hell-raiser as his pop and grandaddy, his style of music owes much more of a debt to the traditional styles of Hank I than the rowdy country-rock of his father. That said, Hank III has a rock-&-roll spirit previously unimaginable in the Williams family. With his band Assjack and side-project Superjoint Ritual (with former Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo), Hank III indulges in hardcore punk and power metal, taking the image of the country outlaw to extreme new levels.

Practically Giving Them AwayDec 17, 2008 It is hard to beat this deal. You are getting three (and a half) CDs for the price of one. All of the CDs are good in their own right. The third one shows Hank's demonic side coming out more and by demonic side, I mean SATAN!! Seriously. the guy is trying to turn everything on it's head. As he says, his granddad sang about the "light" and he sings about the "dark."

Awesome deal for new Hank III fans! You'd be dumb not to buy this.Nov 30, 2008 If you're not familiar with Hank Williams III, then well... the name should explain it all! He's the grandson of Hank Williams and the son of Hank Williams, Jr. The similarity of his voice to that of his grandfather's is uncanny and to get a good idea of what his music is like, just imagine Hank Williams, Sr. singing over rowdy Country music about drugs, booze, Satan, and women! There is absolutely no resemblance whatsoever of his estranged father and if you're a Hank Jr. fan, you may be in for a disappointment with this type of music. But then again, I am neither a Hank Jr. fan OR a Country music fan, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I appreciate Hank Williams III for his style, attitude, associations, and incorporation of the whole Punk Rock vibe into his music, thus making me a fan.
This Collector's set is basically just Hank's first three (III) albums (RISIN' OUTLAW, LOVESICK BROKE AND DRIFTIN', and STRAIGHT TO HELL) in the same individual packaging and collectively placed in a cool tin, which bears Hank's trademark fiddle-playing Devil on the front.
I already own all of those albums and don't plan on buying this set because I'm not really a Hank III collector. However, judging by the EXTREMELY low price of this item it's needless to say that I highly recommend this set for new fans or hardcore fans of this great, rebellious Country artist. Even if you already own one or even two out of the three albums featured in this set, you should definitely buy this. You'll be getting the remaining album(s) AND a collector's tin for pretty much the same price, if not a few dollars more. Also, according to this item's description, the STRAIGHT TO HELL bonus disc is included, which features the song "Louisiana Stripes" as well as a very impressive twenty minute or so medley of a lot of Ambient noise, some bootleg Acoustic songs, and a cover of Cheech and Chong's "Up In Smoke".
Hank III is more Punk than most 'Punk' bands out there and his music (especially STRAIGHT TO HELL) is a reflection of that. If you like rowdy, pickup truck drivin', beer drinkin', shotgun blastin' Country that gives a big middle finger to the whole Pop Country scene, then Hank III is your huckleberry and this set of albums is where you need to start.
Wow!Nov 25, 2008 Great Product!
3 Albums, 4 cd, 1 cheap price. For all of you hank III lovers

hank 3 starter kitSep 30, 2008 Couldn't agree more with the other review. Although I'm bummed that it's nothing more than the first three albums in a metal tin, its also is nice to have a unique holder for them and as stated earlier, it's nice to replace those old beat up cds that have been played to death. I wish that I was just starting to like Hank cuz it would be awsome to grab all three albums at once rather than shelling out 40 or 50 bucks for the three on their own. So pick it up if you are a new fan or an old grizzled vet like me. Look for the new album at the end of October as well.

all three hank cds for the price of one!!Sep 29, 2008 There's no new material or recordings with this, but its all three of hank III's albums for the price of buying just one. All three of my albums are getting old and scuffed up so it good to buy this to keep in good condition for collecting purposes. Or if your just getting into hank buy this to hear all his music without spending a lot. Always great music and never disapointing.
