This is an outstanding album that I still play and play and play. The moods and the imagery is amazing. If you are a THE THE fan buy it, if you are a music lover buy it, if your a drunk redneck - live it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If I could give more stars....., July 31, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hanky Panky (Audio CD)

I am huge fan of good music and good lyrics. That said, even though I hate country music, I love Hank Williams. There just hasn't been another songwriter like at his level, with the exception of maybe Dylan. I recently bought the Timeless Hank Williams tribute CD, which I enjoyed, but with the great artists appearing on that compilation I just expected more. Then I heard about this CD. This disc is NOT made up of country remakes.... this CD is all rock and blues. And that's okay because Hank was a rock/blues singer at heart anyway. Matt Johnson does a great job on these songs, and after hearing this disc, it inspired me to listen to more of The The. What a great band, and what a great CD. Johnson is in touch with Hank Williams' emotions on every song. Best tribute CD... ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding interpretation of an excellent song writer, March 21, 2003

To many "covers" of Hank's songs have been done by Country stars in an attempt to reveal their songcraft but never make the song their own. THE THE does this and more. The interpretations of Hank songs, some familiar, some not, make for excellent listening. Hanky Panky engages the listener into appreciating not only the root source of the music but it's impacts on Matt's arrangements and the feelings he has for the songs. Hank may be considered Country but few Country stars make the transition to a song writer of classic stature and THE THE does justice to him. I can only hope that future THE THE interpretations are this gutsy and true to the source as Hanky Panky. For those who appreciate music and good music this is an excellent album to have in one's collection.
