...finale, Kogan again handled the improvisational parts and the entire movement easily and clearly, exciting the audience with a relentless, surging Tarantella. The orchestra, particularly in the expansive violin sections, played almost as well as Kogan.

...Administration may have sound reason to dismiss these bold but admittedly untested ideas, but so far it has produced no convincing alternatives. The anti-inflation plan of Carter and Co., based mostly on friendly persuasion, is so weak and ineffectual that even White House insiders mock it as "wishboning." That is a category of soft talk inferior even to the old "jawboning," which other Presidents used?with distinctly mixed results ?in the crusade to hold down wage and price rises...

Jennings also produced this album, and to him must be given credit for the lean, Austin-like sound--this is the first Hank Jr. album in which he has gotten away from Nashville's slick guitar tracks and banks of strings that work for the Ronny Milsaps of the world. Waylon's bit in all this is interesting--he has an ego you could stretch from Port Arthur...
