Amazon delivered, well, post office, the new Hank III (new to me). I popped it in and ripped it then gave it a spin, as in the term would be.
Amazing. I’m late to this party. I’d like to think fashionably late, but still, it’s a great CD. Not just good, excellent.
The final song on the CD is “Drinkin’ Over Momma,” but it finishes with a flurry of traditional country music, and the lyrics? “Momma got killed by her damn crack pipe…”
The music is tight, true country, fiddle, pedal steel, and four-four bass/trap set. Square top, isn’t that what it’s called?
This is some serious drinking music. Punk country. I love it. Giving up heroin, #5. Lots of FCC warnings, with good reason. Foul mouthed and yet lucid and musically sound.
“And I’m down in Houston, tryin’ to get that woman off my mind…”
You just earned however many nickels Amazon gives you, as long as you get the referral for an MP3 download.
Yeah, well, thanks. I also think you’ll really like that “album.” The “appalachia” inspired instruments and his neo-punk-metal lyrics is perfected.
Of course, you know, I’m a weird one.
So…did you like it?
It’s very good – if you’re into that kind of strange brew.
