| | Hank Williams, Jr Pressure Is On: Original Classic Hits Vol. 7 CD Hank Williams, Jr Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
THE PRESSURE IS ON is one of Hank Williams Jr.'s best '80s albums. The regretful anthem "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down" is almost a country version of Warren Zevon's "Detox Mansion."
On "The Coalition to Ban Coalitions," Williams does an excellent Daffy Duck imitation and comes to terms with our highly litigious society. "Some want to get rid of Fender guitars," he complains. There's also Williams Sr.'s "I Don't Care (If Tomorrow Never Comes)," done as a gorgeous duet with George Jones, and--reinforcing the family theme--the very funny "Ballad of Hank," written and co-sung by his father's old bandmate Don Helms.
This is Volume 7 of Curb's Bocephus series.

 Classic Honky Tonk Country
This album was a huge musical influence to me, when I first began playing. The album has everything that a great country album should, great lyrics, appearances by other artists, and superb musical solos.
This, along with "Strong Stuff," are the essential Hank Jr. albums!
Although he has produced good material since, in my opinion, he has never come close to this album.

MAJOR MOVES is one of Hank Williams, Jr.'s rowdiest, and most proudly politically incorrect albums. The centerpiece is "The Blues Medley," a montage of three Lightning Hopkins classics featuring guest performances by Ray Charles on piano, John Lee Hooker on vocals, and the Allman Brothers' Dickie Betts on slide guitar.
Other highlights include "Attitude Adjustment," in which Hank regales listeners with stories about taking out a hated brother-in-law with a tire iron, and hitting his girlfriend in the head. "Mr. Lincoln" is a conversation with the Great Emancipator, inspired by headlines in the ...

Recorded in New York, New York on April 26 & May 3, 1940. Includes liner notes by Dave Marsh & Woody Guthrie.
American folk music has produced few artists as gifted and complex as Woody Guthrie. Guthrie's talents as a singer, harmonica player, and guitar player were merely ordinary, but as a songwriter, storyteller, and provocateur Guthrie had few equals. Guthrie's ...
| | Vince Gill High Lonesome Sound CD (1996)
Pressure Is On: Original Classic Hits Vol. 7
$6.49
"Worlds Apart" won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. The title track, featuring Alison Krauss & Union Station, won the 1997 Grammy for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals. The title track was also nominated for Best Country Song, and the album was nominated for Best Country Album. "Pretty Little Adriana" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
Although Vince Gill is renowned as a country performer, the Oklahoma native actually got his start playing in traditional bluegrass bands. This 1996 album finds Gill getting back in touch with his roots without abandoning his easy-going, pop-tinged style. In fact, although much of the record features a pleasant, down-home vibe, only the title track, which appears in two versions, boasts a decent shot of true bluegrass.
While the first rendition of the tune shines a spotlight of Gill's adept guitar playing, the second take has Alison Krauss and Union Station ...
| | Lori McKenna Pieces Of Me CD (2001)
Pressure Is On: Original Classic Hits Vol. 7
$13.55
The first item that recommends Lori McKenna on Pieces of Me is her voice. It cracks and breaks, digging deep into emotions on songs like "Never Die Young," making sure the listener understands the import of the words before he or she has bothered to read the lyric sheet. Her cracking voice will also remind a few of Alanis Morissette on rocking selections like "Pink Sweater," though McKenna developed her singing style before Jagged ...

This is part of Blue Note's Collector's Choice series. These are limited-edition pressings of a few thousand copies.
The late alto saxophonist Jackie McLean had one of the most distinctive sounds in jazz history--fluid and bittersweet, with an impassioned "cry" at its heart. McLean made several classic albums for Blue Note in the 1960s, with DEMON'S DANCE arriving in 1967, near the end of his time with the label. While not as well known as his other albums, DANCE exhibits some excellent ...
