5.0 out of 5 stars Gold at the Golden Nugget, December 30, 2004

I bought this album to get a song called "She's Just A Whole Lot Like You" but found several other songs that I liked even better.

I am not a big Hank Thompson fan but this is a great collection of songs and it is has an excellent feel to it since it was recorded live.

Merle Travis is there playing guitar with Hank and the steel guitar work of Bobby Garrett is fantastic as usual.

If you are ever going to purchase a Hank Thompson album this is the one to buy.

Hank does some classic songs such as "John Henry" and "Orange Blossom Special" but my favorite here is a song written by Hank called " One Step Away."

Of course, if you are not a fan of Country and not a fan of Western Swing then this album is not for you.

However, this is Hank Thompson at his best!!!

We just lost Hank recently and this if by far his best album. I grew up listening to Western Swing, with my dad being a professional steel player here in Nashville, I really didn't have much of a choice. This live album has it all - great songs, and one of the best-if not the best swing band to ever grace a stage. After all, with Bobby Garrett on steel and the Merle Travis playing, it would be difficult to record a bad record.

If you are fan of Western Swing you will not be disapointed with this album and unlike my old vinyl record (I wore it out practicing my drums to it)this Amazon mp3 sounds very good.
