| | Hank Williams, Jr High Notes: Original Classic Hits Vol. 8 CD Hank Williams, Jr Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
No, HIGH NOTES isn't a reference to drug use. That's an airplane on the album cover-Williams' tour jet, in fact-and "High and Pressurized" is about the convenience of air travel. Elsewhere, it's mostly rowdy business as usual.
Williams does a spirited two-stepping cover of his dad's "Honky-Tonkin'," invokes the spirit of Charlie Daniels in "The South's Gonna Rattle Again," and goes mariachi on "Ain't Makin' No Headlines (Here Without You)." The standout track, however, is the unlikely, slowed-down cover of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood." It shouldn't work, but it does, in a weirdly funereal way.

The arrangements are laden with shimmering electric pianos and female choruses, and some of the songs seem to have no connection with country music as anyone knows it. "All By Myself," for instance, was written by the well-known good ole' boy team of Eric Carmen and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Williams, ...

High Notes: Original Classic Hits Vol. 8

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 ...

High Notes: Original Classic Hits Vol. 8
$22.35
1999 release features two bonus tracks "Masses Against the Classes" and "So Why So Sad."
One of the continuing mysteries of rock & roll is how the Manic Street Preachers can continue to be hailed as demi-gods in their native UK but get relegated to permanent cult status in America. While that situation is unlikely to change, KNOW YOUR ENEMY is probably as close as the band has come to album with potential US appeal. It's not that the band's revolutionary ideology has softened, but they've varied their sonic palette a bit.
The keyboards and harmonies adorning the melodic pop of "So Why So Sad" suggest that the Preachers have been listening to the Beach Boys' "Sloop John B." The aptly titled "Miss Europa Disco Dancer" could be a long-lost China Crisis, with its ironic Brit-funk feel. A mix of acoustic guitars and subtle keyboards offset the raw guitar attack on many cuts, though "My Guernica" is a bold, blazing return to form, full of charging, trashy drums and driving guitars. On "Let Robeson Sing," a heartfelt tribute to legendary American vocalist/activist Paul Robeson, singer James Dean Bradfield asks "Can anyone write a protest song?" For the Manic Street Preachers, the answer is a resounding "yes."
Britain's best band returns after the triumph of their ...
