Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel includes: Hank Williams Jr. (vocals, guitar); Billy Joe Walker Jr. (acoustic & electric guitars); Dino Bradley (acoustic guitar); Wayne Turner, Reggie Young, Gary Rossington (guitar); Eddie Long (steel guitar); Mark O'Connor (fiddle); John Jarvis, Barry Becket, Billy Earheart (keyboards, synthesizers); Michael Rhodes, Ray Barrickman (bass); Matt Betton, Bill Marshall (drums). | | Producers: Hank Williams Jr., Jim Ed Norman, Barry Beckett. | | Recorded at Emerald Sound Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. | | This is Volume 16 of Curb's Bocephus series. | | WILD STREAK seems to be Hank Williams Jr.'s conscious attempt at crossing over to a wider audience. This is straight-ahead Southern redneck rock with nary a hint of Nashville, though Williams' good ole' boy anthem "If the South Woulda Won" makes the somewhat puzzling suggestion that the day Patsy Cline died should be a national holiday. | | Highlights include an ode to phone sex ("Social Call") and a bombastic cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone" featuring Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington as guest soloist. NRBQ guitarist Al Anderson's "You're Gonna Be a Sorry Man" is harmonically sophisticated, while Tony Joe White's "Love M.D." is characteristically swampy. |
