Hank Williams III - "Take as Needed for Pain"

"Take as Needed for Pain" is one of Hank III's more eclectic CD's. It has punk, metal and songs that blend country and metal. The title song is a cover of a song by Eyehategod from their album with the same title. The opening song, "Get Outta My Life" was recorded with Rebel Meets Rebel and David Allan Coe. (Actually according to Wikipedia, Rebel Meets Rebel is David Alan with members of Pantera.) Hank III wrote three of the eight songs on the CD. It does not give instrument credits on the CD. It is possible that he played all of them aside from the first song. He does play multiple instruments in different genres. Only three of the songs give production credits, two of those were produced by Hank III and the other by Dave Sardy. "No Values," written by Gregory Ginn," reminds me of the Dead Kennedys, especially the vocals. The CD was just released this week, and I pre-ordered it through Amazon. It is a fun CD. I just wish it was longer.
