He hasn't put out anything I care for in a while. I used to go see him play years ago but pass on him now.

He's had some good songs, but not a fan of all his stuff.

I think he's pretty terrible. Not as bad as Shooter the would be plumber had his last name been Smith Jennings, but pretty fricking terrible nonetheless. I will say that Hank III first album has pretty good. He went to dogshit after that though. Just MHO.

Does Hank III have an acoustic album? His stuff on the whites documentary sounded pretty good.

I think he is the worst of the three, by far.

He's no Hank Jr. And that's a good thing.

Hank Sr was a goddamn genius
Hank Jr lived off daddy's name and legacy
Hank III is anyone else fricking tired of Hanks by now?

I see your point CottonWasKing, although you do have to give Hank Jr. credit for developing his own style rather than just imitating his Dad's style. When he was growing up, he sang all of his Dad's songs in the same style as his Dad, and understandably, wanted to do his own thing and make his own mark on the music world. When he found his own sound, it was definitely a good deal different from Hank Sr. Hank Jr. developed a southern-rock influenced country sound, and his songs covered different themes than what Hank Sr.'s did. Obviously they were from two different generations, so there were bound to be differences.

I don't know if Hank Jr. would have gotten as big as he has if he weren't Hank Williams' son. He definitely is talented and knows how to craft a catchy country tune. These days he's more into politics than anything else, but he has maintained that outlaw image. I still think it was real crappy of ESPN to let Hank go the way they did, to me, they were looking for a reason to let him go, and all it took was a comment about Obama from Hank Jr. to seal the deal. MNF doesn't even have a theme song anymore, and "Are You Ready For Some Football" helped define MNF. Oh well.

"Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound" is an awesome album, that's about it for me.

Hank Jr. is my favorite of the three by a long shot.
