"I've done my share of raising hell," sings Hank Williams III on "P.F.F." ("Punch, Fight, Fuck"). That's an understatement: On his fourth album, Hank Williams' grandson sounds as rowdy as ever, railing against a venerable music venue on "The Grand Ole Opry (Ain't So Grand)," falling down drunk on "Me & My Friends" and hanging with whores and thieves on "Stoned and Alone." The subject matter is well-trod, but Hank III keeps things engaging, thanks to a country-punk sound with a strange bent: He balances catchy, classic melodies like "Candidate for Suicide" with weirder, more-rousing stuff like "Long Hauls and Close Calls," a speedy, banjo-laden cut where Williams proclaims his friendship with Satan.
