From Amazon.co.uk
The animated comedy King of the Hill is yet another perfect mix of high wit and low humour. The soundtrack moves all over the map as well, with an interesting set of covers and a decidedly country flavour. Hank Hill himself delivers the spoken-word gem "Teddy Bear", a tune by Red Sovine that Hill calls "one of the greatest songs ever written." Travis Tritt teams up with George Thorogood for a solid rendition and reprisal of George's hit, the Hank Williams-penned "Move It on Over", The Mavericks add an extra dimension of festivity to Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Down on the Corner", and Brooks & Dunn deliver Bob Seger's "Against the Wind" as the country song it always seemed to be. Faith Hill, however, can't quite erase Janis Joplin's imprint on "Piece of My Heart". Deana Carter traces Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" and manages to find a previously untapped solemnity. For goofy pop, Barenaked Ladies deliver the ebullient "Get in Line". --Rob O'Connor

Most helpful customer reviews   Great CD!!!, Aug 21 2003 By A Customer I bought this because I love King of the Hill and now this has become of favorite family CD! Our 4-year-old requests it all the time. It is a great compilation - I am very pleased! I don't own cd's by any of these artists (besides Willie Nelson) and now I've got to check them all out. Barenaked Ladies, Travis Tritt, Old 97's, Tonic, Faith Hill...all are fabulous! The Mow Against the Grain song is great for a laugh! Enjoy! Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   Another Hit from the King of the Hill Crew!, Dec 2 1999 By  T. James Crostoni (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews First the show, then the book "The Boy Ain't Right," now this album. Those guys keep putting out one great product after another. What could be next, a great CD-ROM game? I can only hope. Anyway, the Barenaked Ladies Song is great, Hank Hill singing Red Sovine's "Teddy Bear" is an instant classic, Sheryl Crow has another hit, "Mow Against the Grain" made me laugh and Willie Nelson made me cry. This album has everything for everyone and I loved it. If you're a fan of the show or if you just like great music, GET THIS ALBUM! Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   King o' da Hill!, Nov 27 1999 By  Erin (Gringo Island, USA) - See all my reviews Ok. Texas is cool, but King of the Hill is cooler. The only reason I listened to this here CD is the fact that my Ladies are on it. "Get In Line" is a kickin song. I dig it, baby. The rest of the album is great, too. I'm just partial to my BNL. :) Keep it up, Hank. Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) Share your thoughts with other customers:  › See all 6 customer reviews...		Most recent customer reviews Pretty Darn Good BNL's "Get in Line" is great - the best track on the album. Faith Hill's rendition of "Piece of My Heart is very bland and boring compared to Janis Joplin's... Read more Published on Nov 17 1999 by Arthur Cimiluca Jinkies!
