Editorial Review:
This is Hank Jr. in his late-'70s/early-'80s version, that brief moment after he'd discovered a sound and persona that wasn't just inherited but before he devolved into a good-old-boy caricature. Not that Bocephus isn't engaging in some posturing here already--the preposterous "Texas Women," for example, could stand unaltered as a Saturday Night Live parody of redneck lechery. More often, though, the 10 hit singles on this disc combine a low-key brand of Southern rock boogie with plenty of twang to fashion a wholly distinctive take on country tradition. Williams's work here is always indelible, and though he likes to drop his daddy's name a bit too often, it's hard to argue with introspective numbers like "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)" and "Family Tradition," which each offer a unique and timeless take on the honky-tonk blues. --David Cantwell
Hank Williams, Jr.'s Greatest Hits, Vol.1 Reviews:
Does not contains all best cuts from his titles albums 
2009-02-03 - It contains "Hank, Why Do You Drink?" and other notable hits, but does not contain some his best works. To a Hank Williams Jr. fan like my friend, it is unsatisfactory, but it will do.
A Country Girl Can Survive Too! 
2008-10-31 - ....that is, as long as she has good ole' Hank jr to listen to. This album always lifts my spirits!
Hank Jr.
2008-08-13 - "Dixie On My Mind", "Texas Women", "A Country Boy Can Survive", and "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down" are my favorites on this CD.
Hank Jr. is one of my favorite country singers.
best of Hank Williams, Jr.
2008-04-23 - Hank Williams, Jr. has to be one of my very favorite country stars. All of his songs are always excellent. This CD includes all of his best tracks. My very favorite is his '79 number 1, "Family Tradition."
DAMN GOOD MUSIC
2008-03-14 - This CD may not be for everybody; yet, pretty damn close. Fell in love with an American Dream, then All My Rowdy Friends. Still enjoy getting drunk and getting loud(at 54), amazing how many people look down at their noses at rowdiness anymore. Being an outdoor person, Country Boy Can Survive hits home. With the status of life in America, one may want to take lessons from a Country Boy. All songs are worth listening to !! Being a heavy metal/classic rock bass player, I was shocked at how this CD grew on me. One of my favorites. Hell; I am even thinking about looking into a steel guitar. A neighbor of 19 who is into rap, fell in love with this CD as well. For those that truly enjoy great music, for those that enjoy the TRUTH, for those that like to get loud; this CD is a MUST !!
