5.0 out of 5 stars You'll be Feelin Better, May 16, 2004

Feelin Better is one of the great Hank Williams Jr. songs that never made it to the radio. You'll never find it on a greatest hits album, so pick it up on this cd. Like many Hank Jr. tunes, it's autobiographical, but this one ranks right up there with Family Tradition. A careful listen will reveal outlaw great Waylon Jennings adding his unique guitar sound to the track.

Although that song alone is worth the six bucks for the cd, you get a whole lot more. Hank Jr.'s cover of "Uncle Pen" puts Ricky Scaggs' to shame. Belting out Gordon Lightfoot's "Looking At the Rain" in a baritone voice, Hank Jr. proves he can make even a hippy song sound manly.

If you're like me and love Hank Jr.'s late seventies early eighties raw honky tonk rock-a-billy sound, then you'll love this cd.

A great album. Part blues, part country-rock, part acoustic. Pure heart. Pure Hank. One of the very few country albums I can listen to from start to finish.
