I have a cassette copy of this collection of early Hank Williams Jr recordings,which I haven't listened to in a while, and had forgotten about, so when I saw it on cd, I had to order one. The photo on the cover is misleading, and not what he looked like when these recordings were made. These are singles and album tracks, recorded from 1969, "I'd Rather Be Gone" to 1974, "I'll Think Of Something", and are not in chronological order. The production, like much of the country music those days, has strings and background vocals. These recordings are not bad. In fact, when I first listened to the cd, I was surprised how good they are and how his voice sounds close to the Hank of today. If you want to hear what he sounded like in his earlier years, before he took more control of his music, this is a good cd, even though it's only a little over 30 minutes of music.
