One Night Stands was the album released just prior to
Hank Williams, Jr.'s breakthrough onto the country charts with "Whisky Bent and Hell Bound." You can hear
Hank Jr. shedding the last of his famous father's legacy and developing his own outlaw persona.
One Night Stands utilizes modern Southern rock-oriented arrangements that emphasized Bocephus' interest in
the Allman Brothers,
ZZ Top, and
the Marshall Tucker Band. While the album didn't generate any hits, it does include some very personal songwriting in the
Kris Kristofferson vein, including "She's Still the Star (On the Stage of My Mind)" and "It's Different With You." ~ Al Campbell
