5.0 out of 5 stars A rocking country masterpiece, February 7, 2004

This, from 1981, is one of Hank's finest albums, demonstrating what good, rocking country music is all about. Hank wrote the first five songs here including Dixie on my mind and Texas women, the two big hits and Ain't much more, a bluesy country song reminiscent of the kind of song that Jimmie Rodgers used to sing fifty years earlier, although Hank wrote it and recorded it in his own style.

Rambling man is one of his father's many classic songs. Covers of songs by the Allman Brothers (I got a right to be wrong), Merle Haggard (Footlights), Alabama (Tennessee river) and Waylon Jennings (Are you sure Hank done it this way) complete the album. Of course, Hank Junior's father didn't do it this way but nobody knows how his music would have developed had he lived longer.

If you enjoy hard rocking country music, you'll love Hank's music.

5.0 out of 5 stars I must admit--this is a classic., December 29, 2009

Okay, I'll admit: Hank pissed me off with the whole Palen-McCain Tradition debacle a couple years ago. In fact, I took a looong timeout from listening to Hank because of that. But ROWDY is just too good to ignore. This was the first album that I actually wanted to BUY as a kid. I heard "Dixie On My Mind" on a local country station and couldn't get it off my mind. This was the kind of album that you'd listen to the whole thing--there really are no weak songs on this one.

My personal favorite: "Footlights", a Merle Haggard tune.

This cd is as good as it get`s. I LOVE DIXIE ON MY MIND and I GOT A RIGHT TO BE WRONG. AND A SLOW BLUE`S. SONG. (AINT MUCH MORE). This cd is a good to the last song. (RAMBLIN` MAN) IS A GOOD SLOW SONG THAT ONLY HANK CAN DO. And he can tell it like it is on (GIVE A DAMN). I like this cd and you will to. thank you.
