This is where Hank Williams Jr. solidified the hard-hitting style he would become known for, perhaps inspired by the pioneering outlaw country records Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings had begun making a couple of years earlier. Charlie Daniels and the Marshall Tucker Band`s Toy Caldwell help out here, and you can hear Williams`s trademark mix of country and Southern rock taking shape on his cover of the Tucker Band`s classic "Can`t You See." And while he was no longer singing in his father`s shadow, he continues to reference the late country icon on songs like "Living Proof," though the mode of expression is now undeniably the younger Williams`s own. HANK WILLIAMS JR. & FRIENDS created the template that would be followed on a subsequent string of Williams`s most enduring albums.
