The Almeria Club was a hard-edged, Alabama honky-tonk that was the site of a hot-tempered 1947 incident that became part of the lore of Hank Williams. More than 50 years later, Hank Jr. recorded an album in that very same notorious joint as a tribute to his father's rebel reputation. In keeping with the down-home theme, the production is agreeably raw and rootsy, bouncing from rockabilly ("Go Girl Go") to jump blues ("If the Good Lord's Willin'") and the ZZ Top-like blues-rock (the salacious double entendre "Last Pork Chop") that is a staple of Hank Jr.'s work. In keeping with his image as a flag-waving Charlie Daniels-like figure, Williams caps off the album with "America Will Survive," a post-9/11 anthem of transcendence that is ironically one of the least country-flavored tunes on the album.
