5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful CD and captures the feel of the show., November 1, 1999

This review is from: The Dukes Of Hazzard (TV Series) (Audio CD)

This CD takes you on a tale, narrated by the late, great Sorrell Booke and James Best, of a big race starring "The General Lee". It has the feel of a third or fourth season episode, which is understandable since it was originally recorded in 1981 and includes many mentions of Cletus.

Some notes- "Good Ol' Boys" is sung by a chorus, not Waylon Jennings. But "The General Lee" by Johnny Cash is worth the price of the CD alone. Many feel Tom Wopat's rendition of "Cripple Creek" is the best ever recorded of the song, and Doug Kershaw's appearance on the album provides us with two quality songs, including "Keep Between Them Ditches", which is a catch phrase among Dukes characters and fans.

The other reviews of the songs on this board are quite accurate, and James Best's rendition of "Flash" is hilarious. Best once won a grammy for his recording of the dramatic poem "Summer Storm A Comin'", and you can see why when you hear this album.

The re-birth in interest in this great TV series led to the re-release of this album in 1997 in conjunction with the airing of the First Dukes Movie. With a second on the way, this album is contemporary again!

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, December 14, 1999

The series was awesome, but the CD? It really could have done with at least something from the series soundtrack, like even the original start and end themes are absent from the cd. The sketches are a bit of fun, the sound quality is excellent, apart from the sound clips of the General which really could have been better.

It's be great if they would release an album with background music from the series, so you can pop it in your car fire up the V8 and go blasting down some dirt roads screaming "Yee-haaa" out the window!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Soundtrack Is Great!, June 4, 2002

For any of you out there that have love The Dukes of Hazzard, this is a must! I've had this album since I was about 6 years old and still love it. Every song on this album will stick with you and make you remember all the rabble rousing, moonshining, bad guy getting, and fun going on every day in Hazzard County. I have to say that the best track is Johnny Cash singing "The General Lee", a whole new perspective on the Duke boys' faithful sidekick, with "Flash", by James Best, coming in close behind. What a great compliment to Roscoe, Boss Hog and all of the Duke clan.
