Music reviews of Damn Right, Rebel Proud
Music Review: Punk-country hybrid that pushes the boundaries further!
Rating: 5 Stars
I loved "Straight To Hell". Here it may appear to be more of the same. However Hank III adds a bit more punk into the mix on DRRP.
The album starts off with a well-placed shot at the Grand Ole Opry and their poor treatment of Hank William Sr.'s legacy. While some may say that it's just another "been there, done that" salvo from Hank III against the establishment I can understand where he's coming from. For I know of similar scumbags in another business entirely who are willing to craft a false image and profit off of others' work. Hence, Hank Williams still isn't reinstated while they keep his likeness outside their door.
From there it's just one great song after another. There's much to appreciate about this album that doesn't have an over-produced feel. The instruments actually sound lively and not compressed. There is a lot of breathing room for the sound to develop.
And what more can be said about the GG Allin tribute, "P.F.F." Actually it's more like two tracks together as one of the same track: One at very high tempo with the full band and the other half being a slowed-down acoustic version, with each separated by a soundbite from GG Allin himself.
Four tracks, "Wild & Free", "Six Pack Of Beer", "If You Can't Help Your Own" and "Workin Man" are true anthems for us who work for a living. Two more, "Candidate For Suicide" and "Stoned & Alone", capture the essence of melancholy with the former wry and somewhat exaggerated while the latter being slow and deliberate in getting the feel of feeling down and alone just right. "H8 Line" is downright sinister in its own right while "3 Shades Of Black" is a bit more stripped down in production and serves as a dark anthem for Hank 3 and his friends ("Me & My Friends" is by far more upbeat). "I Wish I Knew" is a great song about a breakup, a perfect song for real country radio as hinted at on his "Lovesick Broke & Driftin'" album.
This is a great followup to "Straight To Hell". As someone who has witnessed his evolution from merely being the son of Hank Williams Jr. for the sake of "brand recognition" on the "Three Hanks" album to this I can't wait to see what else he can do with his own style of country music. This is very exciting stuff!
Note that I'm reviewing the uncensored version. There are no bleeps to be found here. :-) I pity anyone who buys the redacted WallyWorld version (it's cute how they used the euphemism "amended" for "censored"): You aren't getting the full album!
