5.0 out of 5 stars Sing, Shout & Swing!, December 22, 2000

I set my CD player on the front porch last summer, and this CD spent more time in it than any other! This is classic stuff, folks, but some of the best cuts on the album may be tracks you're not familiar with. Wake Up, Irene and Total Stranger make me grin every time I hear the lyrics. For those of you who remember how to dance to REAL western swing, there is the rollicking instrumental version of Wildwood Flower. Hank's roadhouse voice, hot band and tight arrangements are the perfect accompaniments to porch dancing with your best guy or gal. This album gets the rodeo queen salute!

5.0 out of 5 stars Akin to a religious experience, June 9, 2002

My son gave this album to me, his 69 year old father, and hearing Hank's warm, natural, soothing voice bridged the span of years from 1953 when I first heard it overseas in Japan, and 2001 as though they were but a moment in time. I was transported to the year 1953, was 22 and memorizing every word on his album Capitol H418, Songs of the Brazos Valley. What a great pleasure to know he is still bringing his music to yet another generation in yet another century! His lyrics reveal, without preaching, a standard and quality of life we would all benefit by emulating.
