Album Notes This is Volume 6 of Curb's Bocephus Collection. Title notwithstanding, ROWDY is a fairly downbeat album. There's far less of Hank Williams Jr.'s good ole' boy mythologizing here than you might expect. In fact, most of the songs find Williams either a bit depressed or with weightier issues than partying on his mind. "Give a Damn" is a plea for people to, in the immortal words of Rodney King, "get along." The demands of stardom have left the protagonist of "Footlights" (courtesy of writer Merle Haggard) on just this side of suicide. Standouts among ROWDY's more cheerful songs include "Texas Women" (Hank's in favor of them) and the pro-foreplay ode "You Can't Find Many Kissers."
