Hell-raiser Joe Buck — the notorious howling one-man act — returns to Charleston this Wednesday, Sept. 10 in support of his independently-released Joe Buck Yourself Album and Gory Gory Hallelujah collections. Known for his work in Hank III, Assjack, and Th’ Legendary Shack*Shakers, the steel-eyed singer/guitarist/drummer (born Jim Finkley) rocked the Black Cart in April with his stripped-down, raw, punk-blues style. During his a set at newly-established dive The Recovery Room (685 King St., 843-727-0999), Buck will keep time on a kick drum and strum a large-sized hollow-body vintage guitar through a small stack of amps. Expect an intense performance tinged with all the burly aspects of traditional country and vintage rock ’n’ roll.
