I am a lover of many types of music, but many people would be suprised to know this is one of my favorite albums. I like how genuine and charming Hank Williams Jr. can be. I think the media and entertainment business could take a lesson from him. Instead of trying to popularize his songs, he raises controversial subjects that might offend people, but he really does not care. I may not always agree with everything he says like on his song "I've Got Rights," because he talks about using murder to avenge his deceased wife and son. He really strikes a chord in "Mr. Lincoln" laying bare the corruptness of todays government and how he wishes we could go back to the good old days when America still beleived in its slogan "In God We Trust." The track that means most to me personally would have to be "Country Boy Can Survive." It has a bluegrass feel...it talks about how even if things get bleak and dangerous in todays world, the simple who live off the land will survive and I agree with this statement. He may be most popularly known for his football party song "All My Rowdy Friends Are Comin Over For Monday Night Football," but I like his geniune bluegrass/rock songs best. This album is a keeper. It may be a little dated (The song "Don't Give Us a Reason" was about Desert Storm") it still relates to things going on in America today. This is the way Hank sees America, check it out to see if you agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good ol' American boy, January 14, 2000

When I was about seven (during the Gulf War) I had this tape. I had some family in Desert Storm, so I practically wore out the "Don't Give Us A Reason" track, but the rest of the songs are great too. "I've got rights" is a great song, everyone knows the Monday Night Football song, and "Mr. Lincoln" is wonderful. This CD is practically a social commentary piece. This is the only country thing I've ever listened to, so I can't compare it to anything, but I loved it.
