Classic Album Review-Hank Williams Jr. “Strong Stuff”
He was one of the hottest acts in country music, in 1983, Hank Williams Jr. By that time, he was already an established star, having scored hits since the mid 1960's, had survived a near-fatal fall from a mountain, and had been able to escape his father's shadow and establish his own musical identity.

Classic Album Review-Deborah Allen “Cheat The Night”
Back in the 1980's, someone at RCA Records came up with the idea of the mini-LP. An album of only 6 songs, that could be sold at a lower price than a full album, and used mainly to promote the label's new artists, hoping to increase their sales and recognition, as the first half of the 1980's proved to be a rather difficult time for labels to break new country artists on the radio.
