Review

Hank Williams III's debut album Risin' Outlaw presents 13 tracks that show Williams' affection for authentic, rough around the edges country. From the catchy, driving album opener "I Don't Know" to his honky tonk vocals on "You're the Reason," Hank III blends his famous heritage with his own musical outlook. Ballads like "Lonesome for You" and up-tempo tracks like "If the Shoe Fits" show off Williams' ability to be purely country as well as original. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
