He’s definitely capable of making some sweet music, but a lot of it is ruined by weird sound effects (like in Troopers’ Holler – I love the live version, but I don’t like how the bark replaced the banjo in the studio version). I’m a huge Hank3 fan, and I’ve been one for years. Mind you, this is MY opinion, and I know that there’s a lot of people that would disagree with me. I enjoyed some of Ghost to a Ghost & Gutter town, but Brothers of the 4×4 didn’t do it for me. But after that, I think it’s been going downhill.
Straight to Hell was fing amazing, and he followed it up with the awesome Damn Right Rebel Proud (MY personal favorite). Lovesick Broke & Driftin’ was pretty decent (it was the first Hank3 album I bought, after seeing him live in 2001). Take As Needed For Pain would now bring that count to two.Īs for when fans can expect a new, legitimate Hank3 release, the 3rd generation performers says officially, “As it stands right now, we need to break-even on the distribution costs of the last two album releases before we are able to release anything else.”
Hank3 also had agreed to the release of one heavy metal album as part of his Curb deal. Ramblin’ Man released in April of this year another album of previously-released material cobbled together made it nine. Then Curb released an outtakes album in 2012 called Lone Gone Daddy that brought the total of Curb releases on Hank3”²s six-album contract to eight. The Nashville-based label was able to stretch Hank3”²s album count to seven by releasing Hillbilly Jokerin 2011 a “hellbilly” album Curb initially rejected, but released after Hank3 had fulfilled his contract at the end of 2010. Hank3 entered into a six album contract with Curb in the late 90”²s.

Hank3 also recorded another Eyehategod song for the tribute called “Torn Between Suicide and Breakfast” that also appears on the upcoming Curb album. The song “ Take As Needed For Pain” is a cover song from the metal band Eyehategod that Hank3 turned into a 10-minute epic for the tribute album For The Sick: A Tribute to Eyehategod released in 2007 and recorded under the name “The Unholy 3”³ which is the name of one of Hank3’s side projects.
