Video: HankIII on LiveDaily
This my friends is some real country music, not the nash-vegas bullshit new country that is so prevalent these days. This ain’t your momma’s Rascal Flats son, I hope you can handle it. See you won’t hear Hank3 on terrestrial radio, hell for that matter you rarely hear his grandad, anymore and that’s just a damn shame.

You know I have quite a few of those recordings, I cant wait to hear them after they are all cleaned up. I got mine off of Dimeadozen and they are rough but still worth listening to.

Its a shame that more people don’t get to hear them.
