Issued in 2006, this 12-track compilation serves as a very concise overview of Hank Williams, Jr.’s decades-spanning career. Specializing in a rock-tinged brand of country that is notably different from his legendary father’s spare, twangy sound, Hank Jr. nonetheless attempts to bridge those styles on ˝Tear in My Beer,˝ a shuffling tune penned by Hank Sr. that finds the pair singing on the same track (think Natalie Cole and Nat ˝King˝ Cole’s famous duet on ˝Unforgettable˝). In addition to classics such as the singer’ s gritty theme song ˝My Name is Bocephus,˝ this Hank Jr. set offers up two new recordings--the rowdy title track, which features appearances by Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, and other young country luminaries, and the stomping ˝Stirrin’ It Up.˝ Though its short track listing keeps it from being truly ˝essential,˝ THAT’S HOW THEY DO IT IN DIXIE makes for a fine introduction to Bocephus that is tailor-made to popular 21st-century tastes.
