"It had been going south (in a different way) for a little while, but this one sped up the process. It's not unlistenable (see"Hog Wild") but it is a pale shadow of his earlier work. Don't go out of your way to get this."

A decent Hank Jr. Cd

"I have been Listening to Hank For Some Time Now and own a lot of his music.When i got this i got it on tape i practically drove my freinds Crazy when they would Ride with me i played it so much!!! Its not Hanks best but, it has Some good songs on it Slow,and Fast.Hank Has a good version of A little less talk and a lot more action on here which Toby Keith Cut too Both are good But i like Hanks better.Theres a Great duet Rowdy Bocephus song With Clint Black Singing along Called Hotel Whiskey Itll make you tap your foot Its a good song about Hanks.Rowdy life on the road over the years.Then another good song is Lying jukebox its a funny little song about a man battling a heartbreak and keeps hearing songs that say you, cheated,lied etc...He gets tired of hearing it and says one more and i will pull the plug on you!!!The first song is a pretty good song too its about Converting a Rocker to Country Called Come on over to the Country.Its a great song about conversion from Rock,to Country.Then on A slower song Which i feel Shouldve been on the Maverick Soundtrack Called cut Bank MoNtana Is a story set to an old west type feel about two men fighting Furiously over a Woman they both love This song along is worth buying this cd a great Story song.Theres another upbeat song i like Called i know what you got up your sleeve its about a guy trying to get a girl to go to bed with him,only She aint buying his [stuff] and tells him Flat out i know What youve got up your sleeve!!!There are only two songs left i saved them for last.The first is a Hank Jr song the count song its about those little lover quarrels!!! Yep, you guessed it the ones where you count to ten trying not to blow your top!Hank made a good little song i feel about it its kinda funny in a way i think you will get a little laugh out of it.Then when Fax machines hit the market so did Hank he Said heck if these things are this Good i will invent me one thatll Fax me a beer its kinda funny to in a way the way he words it.He says"The old office Code will never be quiet the same when it comes out Cold and clear "Sit back relax,and punch your fax and i will Fax you a beer!!!Dang i forgot one The low Down Blues its a song Hank Sr recorded .Hank jr. re-recorded changed the instrumentation and made a rocking number on his dads classic.Only one thing i can Say when it Comes to Hank jr.His worst material sounds a lot better in my opinion than the so Called "Country"Nashville is marketing!!! I give it Four Stars keep em Coming Rocking Randall!!!"
