The Essential Hank Williams Jnr by Hank Williams Jr. - VitaMusik

COMPILATION

This is Hank Williams, Jr. of the '60s and early '70s, before his outlaw makeover. Originally recorded for MGM Records, these songs are good, but not essential. They are especially flat compared to his Elektra output. Hank Jr. covers a variety of straight country material, including a version of "A Rainy Night in Georgia," his father's classic "Your Cheatin' Heart," and two early tunes that hint at his future transformation, "Stoned at the Jukebox" and the autobiographical "Living Proof."
