This is a very good early Hank Williams Jr album. Produced by Jim Vienneau, the original album was released in December 1969, and reached #7 on the Billboard country album chart in 1970.
All Songs, except one, were written or co-written by Hank Jr. Five of the eleven songs are from his 1969 #1 album, SONGS MY FATHER LEFT ME*. The full title is "Songs My Father Left Me; The Poetry of Hank Williams, set to music and sung by Hank Williams, Jr."

I enjoyed this album very much. A couple of songs have strings, and some have a background vocal group, but the recordings are not overproduced like some of Hanks early recordings. This is some good country music.
