Country music for people who hate country music - Saturday Night Music Thread

[mark414]

tonight for you all: Hank III - grandson of the late, great Hank Williams and son of that Monday Night Football guy. the first major label country artist to ever release an album with a parental advisory sticker. basically...he is the antithesis of modern country music - and he kicks ass.

"Straight To Hell"

Scottish folk performer. One listen to his stuff and you'll see, without a doubt, where the roots of American country lie.
