Straight To Hell [2xCD]
To try to live up to the Williams legacy would be a hard burden to carry for even the steadiest person, and Hank Williams III is definitely not steady. He didn't even really want to be in music until child-support payments forced his hand. And ever since he made his first recordings - a disc of Natalie Cole-style 'duets' with his father and grandfather that he quickly disavowed - he has been fighting with the past and dealing with the pressure others put on him, by jettisoning mannered country stylisms in favor of a juiced-up country/punk hybrid. Even so, he can't escape the past, and it's not clear that he really wants to.
His new album, Straight To Hell, is the first I've ever heard that straddles the hallowed ground between Bill Monroe and Motorhead, between Blue Moon of Kentucky and Ace of Spades. ~ Full Review at BlogCritics
