Hank Williams Jr: The way I see it

"The Way I See It" is an older album, and not one that is widely known. Bochepus put this album out in the late 80s as an ode to America, and to let the world know how he felt about the changes in the world, and in the United states over the previous hundred years. With songs that speak about terriosim, the difference in blue collar and white collar life, the repeated failure of the justice system, greed from big business, and even a redention of his famous into to "Monday Night Football," I think this album would resonate with much of our country, particullarly in current times. Despite being released over twenty years ago, many of the themes Mr. Williams sings about on this album seem to be reccuring and echoing through recent history, and the future.
