Enjoyable Country
Thank goodness Hank Jr. "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight", "Promises", and "Country Relaxin'" are my favorites. is a country singer. He is one of my favorites.
One of his best!
It's comical, sad and happy. This alblum is one of his best ones. Hank Jr. is a very unique individual who doesn't care what anyone else thinks. Two of my favorite songs on this one are Knoxville Courthouse Blues and Attitude Adjustment. Great stuff!.
Hank Jr. and John Lee Hooker? I am there!
That duet between Hank Jr. This is a good album overall, but "The Blues Medley" makes it five star. and the legendary John Lee Hooker is what got me interested in the blues at the age of 16, and it's worth the price of the CD by itself.
another great album from hank jr
The opener All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight is a great way to start the album. Major Moves is another great Hank Williams Jr album. Other highlights include Video Blues, Mr. Lincoln, Attitude Adjustment, Knoxville Courthouse Blues,and the title track Major Moves. Major Moves is a solid album from Hank,that all Hank fans will enjoy.
High quality album mixing blues rock and country
There are just two other covers - Wild and blue (a then-recent country hit for John Anderson) and Promises (Eric Clapton), both of which are well suited to Hank's style. As ever, this album is a mix of covers and original, although here most of the covers are included in the excellent four-part Blues medley, which pays tribute to some of Hank's heroes in that genre of music including Lightning Hopkins and Elmore Jones.
Most of Hank's albums from the eighties contain at least one song in which Hank really lets you know about life as he sees it - and several such songs were later compiled together on America the way I see it. On this album you get Mr Lincoln, in which Hank wishes that the great man could come to save America. Attitude adjustment sounds like it might be another soapbox song but this is a very clever song with a certain amount of humor. Knoxville courthouse blues is about what can happen to a man if he loves the wrong woman. Of the remaining songs, Video blues, Major moves and Country relaxing are all wonderful, as is the big hit of the album, All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight.
If you enjoy Hank's blend of blues, rock and country, you'll get plenty of excitement from this album.
