There's a bit of surface hiss, but it's not too bad. The rhythm section on this record is absolutely fantastic. The bass has such a great bounce, and the snare just snaps…this is some top-notch recording/mastering.
I just put this record on and was hooked from beginning to end! My copy is pristine and noise-free. The production is fantastic, with the kick drum and bass really standing out and the Waylors sounding raw and slightly unpolished (just like a genuine honky tonk band ought to!). It's got that 'live' in the studio vibe that I haven't experienced in a country album for ages. I found myself longing for the tracks to keep going past the fade-outs. I'm a huge fan of this era of Waylon's work, and this VMP re-release of this classic album is absolutely brilliant!
This is a fantastic pressing, and truthfully, after owning this album on CD for ages, I was amazed at how well-recorded it truly is until I heard this version. It's absolutely brilliant!
Outlaw country's ultimate masterpiece, Exile on Main Street.
I'm just joining in with the crowd here. The sound quality is absolutely fantastic. This is likely my top pick among all the Country vinyls I've gotten from VMP.

Waylon Jennings' "Honky Tonk Heroes," released in 1973, is a seminal work that marked a significant shift in country music, spearheading the outlaw country movement. This album, recorded under Waylon's new contract with RCA Records, features a collection of songs that defy the polished Nashville sound of the time, instead embracing a raw, honky-tonk style that resonates with authenticity and rebellion. The tracks, including standouts like "Honky Tonk Heroes" and "Willy the Wandering Gypsy and Me," showcase Waylon's distinctive voice and guitar work, backed by a band that includes legendary musicians like Kenny Edwards and Don Brooks. With its short runtime of just 27 minutes, the album is a tight, powerful statement that solidified Waylon's place as a pioneer in country music. "Honky Tonk Heroes" is not just an album; it's a testament to Waylon Jennings' artistry and his enduring influence on the genre.
This is a 2013 Reissue released as a LP.
