Hank Williams Jr. Album: “Red, White and Pink-Slip Blues”

Exceptional music & vocals. Was able to see Hank perform on Fox, encouraged me to purchase this cd. I was not disappointed! I am not a big long time Hank fan, however I do enjoy some of his past recordings. I am a former musician that takes alot of pride in my choice of music.(mostly blues or old rock)This cd is truly something special.When Hank hits those low notes it will send chills up your spine. I assure you that I do not listen to junk, and I believe this cd will become a much loved classic. If you are a lover of great music, especially country, blues or rock, you will not be disappointed in this purchase. It is already one of my favorites, and will be for years to come.

Good old Hank Jr. does it again. If your a fan of Hank Jr. you should have this CD in your collection. My favorits are "Sounds Like Justice" and "High Maintenance Woman". I really like the way Hank puts country and the blues.

Just the like good ol' days, the best Hank Williams Jr. album I've heard in over twenty years, since the 1987 "Born To Boogie". 127 Rose Avenue delivers all the goods, Hank mixes it up with blues, rock, country, even a bluegrass number written by the man himself, "All The Roads". Five of the eleven songs on here are Williams' originals, and bocephus also recruited some fine songwriters for this project, featuring, "Red,White & Pink Slip Blues" - a version of the modern working man blues, "Forged By Fire" - brothers in arms, "127 Rose Avenue", - a ghost from the past. Hank Jr. also contributes some good written material, "Farm Song", this one rocks, as so does, "High Maintenance Woman", "Last Driftin' Cowboy" is a tribute to Hank Sr.'s steel player Don Helms. "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" highlights this album, it's no secret Hank Jr. is influenced with the blues, especially the Texas bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins, this is Hank's very best impersonation of Hopkins' playing this classic Hank Williams standard, mesmerizing, including the signature Williams' yodel. It would be a real interesting listen to hear an album of Hank Jr. with voice and guitar only, unplugged, doing all Lightnin' Hopkins covers, let's hear it - Hank Williams Jr. is back, voice and guitar, backed by top-notch studio musicians with Paul Franklin on steel, 127 Rose Avenue is a newborn classic, another reviewer stated "his best yet", I'm almost inclined to agree, the audio will blow you away.

Nothing less than classic Hank on this disc!!! SOngs that have yet to be played on the radio are pretty darn good, all with the storyline lyrics that Hank fans have hung onto for years. A true rock in the ever changing sea of country music. A modern day classic, buy and enjoy!

The best album Hank Jr. has put out in about 15 years. I have 24 other Hank Jr. albums. Have been a fan & been to about 9 concerts. Keep putting out good music & I'll keep buying them.(from Amazon)
