Early Years, Vol. 2

by Hank Williams, Jr.

Overview

Early Years, Vol. 2 contains material released just prior to Hank Williams, Jr.'s breakthrough onto the country charts. The ten tracks are pulled from two of his earliest sessions for Elektra Records, One Night Stands and New South. Both albums utilized modern Southern rock arrangements, a direction that would lead Hank Jr. to the top of the country charts in the '80s. Most of the material on this compilation still sounds great, especially Steve Young's "Montgomery in the Rain" and Gordon Lightfoot's "Looking at the Rain." The one dud here is an awful cover version of Jackson Browne's "You Love the Thunder." ~ Al Campbell
