This album is a great album. It features songs from many cast members, along with special guests Johnny Cash & Doug Kershaw, who are a couple of my favorite artists. The version of the theme song is sung by all cast members, which makes the album special. This album does show the people that all of the Dukes cast members do have musical talent, especially Tom Wopat, John Schneider (who both have had several top 40 hits on Billboard's country charts), and Catherine Bach. If you are a fan of country music or the Dukes of Hazzard, this is a must add to your collection. Put this album next to either "Waylon Jennings' Greatest Hits Vol. 2" or "The Essential Waylon Jennings" which have the original Waylon Jennings recording of the theme song and John Schneider's Greatest Hits which features many of his top 10 hits including all 4 of his #1 Billboard country chart hits. Since the time I wrote this review, Sony BMG/Legacy reissued this soundtrack album with Waylon's original version of the theme and the Waylon & Willie classic "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" as bonus tracks and you can find that version here on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000A1IL0U/

This is not a soundtrack to The Dukes of Hazzard, but rather an album with songs sung by cast members. Most of the actors can't sing, although John Schneider and Tom Wopat have decent voices. One of the most disappointing things about this CD is that the Dukes of Hazzard theme song is not performed by original artist Waylon Jennings, but is instead by the generic "Hazzard County Boys". Other than that, the rest of the album is pretty bad. "The General Lee" is one of the worst songs ever recorded by the great Johnny Cash, sung from the point of view of the Duke Boys' car. There is a terrible cover version of The Band's classic "Up On Cripple Creek", sung by Tom Wopat. The rest of the songs are all originals, and none of them are any good. This album will only appeal to hardcore Dukes of Hazzard fans.

If you enjoyed the days of hair-raisin' car chases, brutal car crashes, in-depth plot, and hot chicks in short shorts....Well, this is the record for you, friends. This is rough-neck country sung by those that live the life, folks. Hazzard County ain't a Hollywood production, nor is it a mirage; Hazzard County is a way of life....and you'd best recognize that as quickly as possible, if you want to enter its world.
Musically, country don't get much better than this exciting T.V. Soundtrack. Legends like country singers Tom Wopat, Rob Schneider, Boss Hogg, Roscoe and Daisy Duke step up to the singing mic with lesser talents like Johnny Cash, and the results are, well, as Roscoe Picotrain would claim: "G-g-g, I love it, I love it!!!" This is haggard country music before the days of slicksters like Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain and Robert John "Mutt" Lange (he of AC/DC and Bryan Adams fame).
Boss Hogg is an especially refreshing precense, his gruffy, cigar-stained vocals giving the whole concept an earthy feel, next to Daisy Duke's angelic vocals a few songs later. This is the stuff of legend, folks.
Not since NBC's "Saved by the Bell" soundtrack, featuring Zach Morris and his Zach Attack, have I heard such a worthy collection of TV-song gems. Here's hoping the Boys of Hazzard, their many ladies, and the clownish cops that chase them, all re-gather once more for a reunion TV special, which is sure to bring together additional country music for the ages.
How good is this record? Simply put, it's Johnny Cash's most worthwhile contribution to any album he's ever been on, plain and simple.
THE ONLY THING MISSING IS COP ENIS AND COOTER, BOTH LADYKILLERS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT!!!!!

I thought it was pretty good but the best track for my money has to be "Flash" because it's so funny and true!! I loved "In the Driver's Seat" as well and think that the whole thing is pretty good, so put them chairs in the wagon and shake them trees back to Hazzard y'all!!
