The grandson of Hank Williams and the son of Hank Williams Jr., Hank III certainly has the bloodlines for country music. He plays it, but on his own terms. His punk-fueled, high tempo version comes courtesy of his band Assjack. The group performs on at 9 p.m. tonight (June 29) at George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville. Tickets are $20. Izzy Cox opens.

Concert Wrap: George Thorogood, March 7 @ WAC

George Thorogood and the Destroyers
“I know I’m full of (crap), but I’m having a good time,” George Thorogood told a crowd gathered to watch him perform March 7 at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville.
And that pretty much sums it up.
George Thorogood, approaching 60 years of age, is still full of vim and vigor. He’s still got chops on guitar. He’s still got a few moves, too, as he spent a good part of the evening wriggling about onstage, shaking his hips or spinning in circles while playing his white Gibson guitar.
But Thorogood isn’t the best guitarist you’ll ever see. His stage show isn’t the most advanced, although the LED video boards that flanked him on both sides of his spot in the middle of the stage had their moments. And, heck, he doesn’t even play that many of his own songs, making hits instead of blues standards by John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and more.
But, you know what? He’s on to something. When you’re having as he was on Sunday night, it’s hard not so share some of that enthusiasm.
