Date undefinedMuch has already been said about this album . . .and I don't know what more I can add...except that for me, one of the most brilliant concepts about the album is that Hank Williams III seems to be raising his own grandfather's ghost while at the same time forcible keeping his own beautiful originality intact.
The last song "Blue Devil" is particularly haunting, not only because it reflects the split nature of all three Hank Williams singers, but also because the editing in the piece recalls those late nights of driving across lonely stretches of the Arizona desert and trying to listen to country western songs on some distant and fading AM station.
In closing I might also add that it's seems a bit strange to find photos on this album of bits and pieces of an old car's backseat, which may or may not have reference to his own grandfather untimely death in the backseat of a Cadillac in 1953. And how Hank Williams III's music is somehow forever connected to his own grandfather's nostalgia of good western music.
