Unlike most post-millennium country “outlaws,” Hank Williams III has actually been fighting against something concrete instead of just nursing a bad attitude. Hank III likes his music as strong as his drink, and includes both his hard-edged trad-styled country and his “hellbilly” thrash metal project Assjack. There’s an undercurrent of metal/punk creeping through a few tracks on Rebel Within (the bursts of Cookie Monster vocals on the title cut and the breakneck finale of “Drinkin’ Over Momma”), but for the most part, this is the most straight forward country music Hank III has released since 2002’s Lovesick, Broke and Drifitin
