With all the country tribute albums, it's not only a relief that somebody did one for Johnny Paycheck, but also that they did it right. You can tell that everyone was going to fight for his blue collar anthem, "Take This Job And Shove It," as evidenced by the fact that Buck Owens, Bobby Bare, Radney Foster and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy split the song into four bite size vocal parts. This works perfectly, considering that it sounds like four guys drinking after work while cursing the boss man. Other standouts include Mavis Staples' "Touch My Heart" and George Jones' "She's All I Got."

This tribute to the late outlaw remembered for his 1978 anthem "Take This Job and Shove It"
but revered for his hardcore Sixties honky-tonk deftly bridges the two eras. Wilco's Jeff
Tweedy shares a playful "Shove It" with country vets Radney Foster, Bobby Bare and Buck
Owens, and Neko Case nails Paycheck's early autobiographical admission "If I'm Gonna Sink,
I Might As Well Go to the Bottom.
