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".
