- Hank , Jr. at the top of his game
This album shows Hank Jr. at or near the top of his game. Not only does it feature "Gonna Go Huntin Tonight'" and "Leave Them Boys Alone", but lesser known classics as well- "Two Dot Montana" and "A Whole Lot of Hank"! Very good album. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
- Strong stuff indeed
With two covers of ZZ Top songs (the moody Blue jean blues and the hard-rocking La Grange) and one cover of a Lynyrd Skynyrd song (Made in the shade), Hank delivers one of his finest albums. Gotta go hunting tonight and Leave them boys alone (featuring Ernest Tubb and Waylon Jennings) were the big country hits but they aren't any better than the other tracks here, all of a very high quality.
The first three tracks rock hard. The pace drops after that but the quality doesn't. Particularly worth mentioning are The homecoming queen (a touching song about Hank's love for his woman), Two dot Montana (about some trouble Hank was in - fictitious, I hope) and In the arms of cocaine (about drug addiction).
This is in many ways typical of Hank's albums - many originals with a few well-chosen covers - but there are some great songs here. If you enjoy Hank's music, you'll enjoy this album.

- Strong Stuff - one of the best Hank Jr records
Doesn't matter where you drop the needle on this record, it's solid country gold, start to finish.
My favorite track is "Twodot Montana"

- Strong Stuff:Original Classic Hits, Vol .9Hank Williams, Jr.
A very good album, I was also pleased with the way my purchase was handled. Thank you. - When people made albums...
There are so many great songs on "Strong Stuff" that it doesn't make any sense to buy singles. The whole record is good. I will review my favorite songs just in case somebody insists on trying them out one by one.
"A Whole Lot Of Hank" is a very country song that's autobiographical of Hank. Try that one first.
"The Girl On The Front Row At Fort Worth" is about a good night at a show.
"The Homecoming Queen" is about Hank's wife at the time, I believe.
"Twodot Montana" is a historical song about a guy who gets in trouble in the west. I like it a lot!
"In The Arms of Cocaine" is simply heart smashing. That song is deadly serious.
Try those out...and being you got that many, you should just try out the whole record. You will not regret it.
