It amazes me that this album didn't produce at least 5 #1 hits!!! However, there were timeless classics competing against Merle at the time of this release. The Bellamy Brothers' "If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)", Waylon Jennings' "Amanda" and The Gatlin Brothers' "All The Gold In California" were just a few of the exceptional songs that topped the charts when "Serving 190 Proof" was released.
Merle's "Footlights" would go on to be one of his signature songs during live performances. "Red Bandana" and "My Own Kind Of Hat" were exceptional tracks that got overlooked.
The only hiccup here is "Sing A Family Song". It feels totally out of place with the remaining 'give me a double shot of misery' tracks here and should have probably been released on Merle's upcoming Gospel album "Songs For The Mama That Tried". Omit this 1 track and put this one on repeat!
