Family Tradition

Covering three generations of Hank Williams ÊFamily TraditionÊ is both unique and vast in scope. Beginning in the present day with Hank III ä who gave the author unprecedented access ä and time-traveling across the years this examines just what kind of rebel mojo inspired this crazed family of country music from Hank Sr. ä often regarded as one of the most influential of American musicians ä to Hank Jr. to this year's model Hank III who has somehow found a way to reconcile his legacy's deep-rooted twang and high-lonesome sound with particularly searing strains of punk and heavy metal launching an all-out war with traditional Nashville in the process.ÞListen to Susan Masino live at Book Expo America on the BEA Podcast.
