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!

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!

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.

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. Deana Carter's vesion of "Free Fallin'" sounds an awful lot like Stevie Nicks cover of the Tom Petty song. Other highlights include: Tonic, Teddy Bear, Move it on Over, and I know a little. Brooks & Dunn's cover of "Against the Wind" is fair and Sheryl Crow's "Strait to The Moon" is pretty bad.

If you love King of the Hill, you'll adore this soundtrack. Music is mingled with sound bites that will leave you laughing. "Mow Against the Grain" is the KotH version of "Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen)" and it's a scream.

The theme song by The Refreshments is the best track on this soundtrack, although it only last for about 35 seconds, can never get enough of its jammin sound, plus The Refreshments always rock. Many cover songs are done throughout this album. Usually I don't appreciate much cover songs but many artist added on this album do fairly well. Take the opening with Travis Tritt/George Thorogood, good ole' George still shows that he's the baddest guitar player with Tritt taking over on vocals. Surpisingly, Faith Hill's cover of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My heart" takes an even higher sound and Deana Carter's rendition of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin" brings a woman's perspective into the song ex. "He's a bad boy for breaking my heart". BareNaked Ladies' single "Get In Line" brings on catchy-twangy sounds to their crazy lyrics that make you get up and shake your booty. Favorites also include Tonic's "East Bound & Down" and Old 97's "El Paso".
