Career
editFor Assjack's long-anticipated 2009 self-titled studio debut, only Williams sang and played all instruments on the recording.
For live purposes, the band features Gary Lindsey on vocals, Hank Williams III on guitar and vocals, and Joe Buck who used to be on bass but is now focused on his solo career. Assjack has had a revolving drum slot and background vocalist slot throughout the years. On recent tours, Chris Arp has played lead guitar.
Hank III confirmed in a November 10, 2009 interview that no new Assjack material is in the works because of being held back by Curb Records so long. Hank III also stated that after Curb is dropped (after the release of his 2010 solo album Rebel Within) that he would be taking his music and Assjack's music to the next level.
