Album Review

This woefully short collection has a couple of classic Hank Williams songs, including the iconic "Lost Highway" and the everybody-gets-it "Lovesick Blues," but it lacks songs like "Your Cheatin' Heart," the eerily prescient "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive," the buoyant faux bayou party tune "Jambalaya," and the economic-as-a-haiku "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," making it a pretty sparse set that is hardly worth the effort spent trying to find it. Any Hank Williams is better than no Hank Williams at all, though, so if you're in a truck stop and you see this compilation, and it's not too much change to buy, pick it up and it'll be sure to get you down the road a short bit. Just don't expect to get too far before the program repeats. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
