In 2003, when country had long since become the province of radio-ready pretty boys with a sound as polished as their profiles, Hank Williams, Jr. seemed all the more refreshing for maintaining his unrepentant outlaw country approach. The production on "I`m One of You" is as rough-and-ready as the songs, brimming with dirty, twangy guitars and bad-ass attitude. His inclusion of 1960s and `70s compositions by Jerry Reed ("Amos Moses") and Joe South ("Games People Play") is practically a public service in the age of paint-by-numbers Nashville. For that matter, Williams`s "political" song "Why Can`t We All Just Get a Longneck" (surely the best song title of the year) has a light-hearted honky-tonk approach that`s infinitely preferable to Toby Keith`s contemporaneous jingoistic excesses. And when Hank Jr. lays into a self-penned, obviously heartfelt tribute to a certain recently deceased outlaw country pioneer on "Waylon`s Guitar," his roots become all the more admirably apparent.
