3 Bar Ranch Cattle Callin' is the seventh studio album by Hank Williams III, released on September 6, 2011 on Hank 3 Records, through Megaforce Records.[10]
Critical reception
[edit]3 Bar Ranch Cattle Callin' was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 46 based on 6 reviews.[6]
In a review for Slant Magazine, critic reviewer Jonathan Keefe wrote: "Cattle Callin is a concept record whose concept is so deeply flawed that it never should've made it as far as the studio. Cattle Callin provides Hank 3 with another opportunity to showcase his technical chops, even his arrangements and vicious guitar riffs grow repetitive after the first few tracks."[4]
Live
[edit]3 Bar Ranch was a part of Hank's live show replacing the Assjack set. Both live bands have had notable extreme drummers performing alongside Hank, like Tim Yeung (Nile),[11] Joey Gonzalez (Phil Anselmo) and Phil Cancilla (Malevolent Creation).[12] Hank's last live show was October 6, 2014 at the Ogden Theater in Denver, Colorado. Cancilla is the last drummer to perform live with Hank.
