Damn Right, Rebel Proud is the fourth album released by Hank Williams III. It was released on October 21, 2008. The album was released in two separate versions, one being a censored release for major retailers, the other is uncensored. While some songs on the album are pure country, songs like "Long Hauls & Close Calls", "P.F.F." (Punch Fight Fuck) and "H8 Line" have a very different sound than the other albums by III, featuring more of a rock sound.

The record features Hank Williams III (vocals, guitars, acoustic guitar), Donnie Herron (fiddle), Adam McOwen (fiddle, accordion), Marty Stuart (electric guitar, mandolin), Randy Kohrs (acoustic guitar, dobro), Shawn McWilliams (drums), Andy Gibson (steel guitar, dobro), Joe Buck (upright bass), Johnny Hiland (electric guitar), Charlie Cushman (banjo), Bob Wayne (vocals, guitars, bass instrument), and Gary Sommers (vocals).
