Must Have
Susans Floor is my least fav song on the album, but the rest is five star. Everyone who likes music needs this album. Wish modern country was pure like this album. Even though I'll buy Hanks new album in June of 09, it will be nothing like this. I am a thrash metal dude, but Hank will always be in my mp3 player.


Hnak Jr. and friends
This is a real tuff one to find. What a great album. This was Hank Jr. 's first release after his fall off of Ajax mountain in 1975. This album showcases the likes of Charlie Daniels , Marshall Tucker and some great session players. The song 'Losin You" is Marshall Tucker all the way. If you are a hard core Bocephus fan as myself this album is a must have.
Enjoy and lets keep this classic stuff forever!!!!.


Don't Judge A Record By Its Cover
But we buy music for what's inside, don't we!!!!? And what's inside this little beauty is a man with one of the most burdonsome histories in country music exorcising all his demons in 33 minutes of cathartic release. The cover of the original LP of this record and cover of this CD are both terrible. This is the first album Hank Jr recorded after getting out from under the clutches of his family, manager and, to some extent, the Nashville music (musak) business. Hank got together with a few Southern Rock friends, including one of the greatest and most under-appreciated guitarist who ever lived; Pete Carr. He wrote a clutch of ripper songs and borrowed a couple from the pen of Toy Caldwell (Marshall Tucker Band's driving force). If you only know Hank Jr from his later, stadium rock, "good ol' boy", Bocephus persona, then you may not like the real pain and emotion contained in this album. If you like honest, good rockin', country music with an edge, then this is for you. I have a lot of Hank Jr's albums and enjoy most of them, but this one is the real deal and stands head and shoulders above everything else he ever released. In addition, it is a great pleasure to hear Pete Carr tear it up on most of the songs. It is hard enough to find Pete's albums so when one comes along where he shines, and he definitely shines here, then snap it up. So, forget the cover and get this album, it's the bargain of the century at the price.

Best Album by Hank Jr
I love the songs Brothers of the Road, Stoned at the Jukebox and Living Proof. This album is truely on the greatest albums Hank Jr ever recorded. I ordered this CD about 2 weeks ago and got it in the mail the other day. I can't stop listening to it. I suggest anyone who is a Country Music fan and Hank Jr fan to buy this album. It is a must. I really Did is another great song. All 9 tracks are great. This album was recorded before his accident in 1975 and you can hear some of Hank Williams in his voice.


Excellence
I was thrilled to find it released on CD. I first bought this as an LP sometime around 1981 (I got hooked on Hank, Jr after Family Tradition came out). "I Really Did", "Montana Song", "Brothers of the Road", and "Can't You See" really stand out but ALL of the cuts are superb IMHO. This album is a great complement to the "New South" album (which all Hank, Jr fans should own!). . . . just wished the CD had the original album artwork - kinda wild to see Hank, Jr sans beard!.
