Fox Television's animated comedy King of the Hill is yet another perfect mix of high wit and low humor. The soundtrack moves all over the map as well, with an interesting set of covers and a decidedly country flavor. 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." 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." --Rob O'Connor

Summary: One of The Better T.V. Related Compilations 2006-05-18
Comment: For the most part this album seems taylor made fore me; I'm a fan of most of the acts that appear on the cd, I'm a fan of most of the songs being covered, and I have loved King of the Hill since it began airing, but there are a couple of things that take this cd from a 5 to a 4.
First off, the cover of Free Falling just plain sucks. I was not a fan when they used this version on the program, and I am not a fan now. The other black mark on this album is the cover of "One Tin Soldier", you know, the song from "Billy Jack". The version presented here is absolutely horrid.
Aside from those two little issues this album delvers quite well and has what most television themed albums do not; a replay ability.

Summary: Great CD!!! 2003-08-21
Comment: 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!

Summary: Another Hit from the King of the Hill Crew! 1999-12-02
Comment: 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!

Summary: King o' da Hill! 1999-11-27
Comment: 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.
