High Notes is the thirty-fourth studio album by American musician Hank Williams Jr. It was released by Elektra/Curb Records in April 1982, making it Williams’ eighth studio album for Elektra/Curb and his ninth overall for the label. While not as successful or acclaimed as some of Williams’ more recent recordings, High Notes was still a commercial success. It peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart^[2] and was certified Gold by the RIAA, becoming Williams’ seventh album to do so.^[3] The album also generated two hit singles, “If Heaven Ain’t a Lot Like Dixie” and “Honky Tonkin'”. “If Heaven Ain’t a Lot Like Dixie” peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart while “Honky Tonkin'”, a song that was originally a number 14 hit written and performed by his father, Hank, Sr., became Hank, Jr.’s sixth Number One hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.^[4]
