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. |

| | Artist Overview | | 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. |
