"This is a Hank classic. Overlooked by a few, worshiped by the masses. Habits Old and New is a timeless classic that brings together classic Hank country and a little bit of New Orleans style blues. Hank shows his "family tradition" in this album. If Hank Sr. were alive today, he would be singing these very songs. The album begs to be listened to over and over and over again. If there were six stars to be given this album would receive all six. So if you thought you were a Hank fan before, try this album and hear all the Hank you've been missing."
One of the best

"This HANK JR, album offers everything on an album that you could want. The tracks on this album show exactly what Hank's voice is capable of. NOt only does he belt out "If you don't like Hank Williams" but he slows it down and treats you to an insightful song "Blues Man" IF you are just begining to enjoy Hank Jr. this is the album you will want to start with"
The family tradition is strong here

"Hank's has always shown the influence of his father while being distinct from it. The influence is most obvious in the many covers of his father's songs (albeit done in Junior's own style) and the many songs that are, in one way or other, about his father. On this album, the family influence is stronger than ever. There are covers of Kaw-liga and Move it on over, while there are two songs about his father - The blues man and If you don't like Hank Williams. His father also gets mentioned in Dinosaur.
All those tracks are great but the standout track here is the title track, a superb ballad about how some old habits can be broken more easily than others. Here I am again and Won't it be nice are other excellent ballads. Hank gets on his soapbox in The American way. Hank sings about the south (as he often does) in All in Alabama.
This is yet another classic album from Hank, mixing country, blues and rock in his own unique way."
This is the real Hank Williams Jr in my opinion

"It just shows how great he can sing country music when he leaves the rock guitar out. He's good both ways but great this way. I recommend everybody whos a fan of him or country music buy this. Also if you liked the movie Living Proof: The Hank Williams Jr Story and you loved the songs that played in the background then you'll really love it cause its got three songs from the movie on it. 1. Here I am Fallin' Again 2. The Blues Man 3. All in Alabama. All great songs Its simply a GREAT album."
