Hank Williams III

This is just what I do, play music and create sounds and all that good stuff. ”

My country stuff, it might sound like Hank Williams - that's just the way it is. But I'd rather sound like Hank Williams than Trace Atkins. ”

Well, I've always felt connected to the outsider. ”

I'm not just a country artist. I've got so any sides to me and the music I write. ”

I've always had that feeling for the dark side, for the anger and the hate-rock. The music is just the way I deal with it. ”

I thank God for all the independent hard rock that I grew up with. ”

Each Hank Williams has always had an independent streak. ”

If I'm opening up for George Jones or playing a complete honky-tonk, I do true country music. But if it's a complete rock club, I'll do some country and a little bit of this hillbilly acoustic country metal or whatever it's called. ”

The true Hank III fans want me to be me. ”

Energy wise, playing the drums was a lot of fun; I just felt like it was a natural fit for me. ”
