Hank Junior's blend of country with raw rock'n'roll is not unique of itself, but nobody else ever did it quite this way. This album contains plenty of hard rocking music, even including his incredible cover of Almost persuaded. If you are familiar with David Houston's original, or with any of the faithful covers, you will be taken by surprise on first hearing Hank's cover. I love the original version but I also enjoy Hank's very different interpretation of this classic country song but I can well understand why some people can't stand it.
Hank includes a slice of Cajun music in the form of Big Mamou, which features Jimmy C Newman. Hank likes to include a political song on each of his albums, so here you get USA today. Stoned at the jukebox is a re-recording of a song that Hank originally recorded in the seventies. Lone wolf is a moody, bluesy song that nicely rounds off a great album from the king of rowdy country music.
I have many of Hank's classic albums and this is among my favorites. If you enjoy the music of Waylon Jennings or Travis Tritt but you're looking for something a bit more rowdy, Hank is your man.
HANK CAN SING GREAT & EVERY > I HAVE ALL OF HIS CD & CASSETTES. HANK JR & 111 & SR IS THE VERY BEST < I MEAN IT GOOD FRIENDS & GOOD WHISKEY& GOOD LOVEN IS THE BEST.
