Customer Reviews

Rock on, Bocephus!
"Hank Live" is a wonderfully rowdy album which shows off the rockin' side of Hank Williams Jr. -- and if you've ever heard him, you know that he LOVES to rock -- better than any other album of Hank's, I feel.

It features some audiences that are rowdy as all hell, some fancy guitar work, and, of course, BOCEPHUS.

Among the stand-out tracks are "My Name Is Bocephus," "Workin' For MCA," "Sweet Home Alabama," "La Grange," "If You Don't Like Hank Williams," and the medley of "Family Tradition" and "Hey, Good Lookin'." Hank also does an acoustic medley, which is great, and we get a cool acoustic version of "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)" that includes some singing along from the crowd and some ad-libbing (there is a lot of that on this album). Another song that shouldn't be overlooked is Merle Kilgore's version of "I Ain't Gonna Call Hank Williams Jr. 'Junior' Anymore," which is a good start to a great album.

All in all, I think you'll really enjoy this one.

HANK ROCKS
Hank Jr. can rock hard and this is the Document. Especially for "non-country" folks this is a good initiation for Hank JR. You can't help but Feel the Joy, Hank loves what he does and it shines thru.

The Worst Album I Ever Bought - Period
I bought this in college, put it on the turntable (yes, we had vinyl in those days) and immediate realized I had flushed $8 down the toilet. No album in any genre can compare with the sheer awfulness of this dog. The crowd is restive, screaming incoherently and randomly throughout, but there is no real excitement, because the performances are universally terrible. Hank screams, talks, hollers, and mumbles, but he sure doesn't sing a note throughout the entire show, and he is horribly out of tune for the duration.

The covers are all of a piece - atrocious rewrites that serve to prop up Hank's massive ego, and his frequent references to his truly talented father.

The only saving grace is that I heard this fiasco before I ever plopped down any hard-earned pay at an actual show.
