Customer Reviews

Hank Williams doesn't get much better.....5
If you're in the market for some country music and don't already own everything that this man recorded, here is a good place to start....

This box set contains many of his songs recorded after having changed labels; it's well edited and well packaged; the liner notes are worth reading; and, well, this is the creator of country/rock music. Who else has written James Bond songs, songs from monday Night football, and songs about OD'ing and forgetting girls names? Not too many people.

This is a really good CD set for people into rock who are into rock and don't know a whole lot about country music because of how accessible it is and how much variety there is in what Hank has recorded. His songs are simple; they're not the complex, jaded, and pretentious stuff that's going to pass muster in clubs where people wear all black BUT it is raw emotion.

What better is there? This is a must-buy.

The BEST set of Hank Jr. availible5
This is simply the best collection of Hank Williams, Jr. availible. This box set shines where "The Complete Hank..." stopped. Included in this box set that weren't in the former are "My Name is Bocephus" and "If You Don't Like Hank Williams". Those two songs can't be left off any collection of Hank Jr. The only down to this box set is some Hank Jr. classics were left out like "Women I've Never Had". None the less, this is Hank Williams, Jr. at his best and its well worth buying. You won't be dissappointed.

The Definitive Box Set continues to elude Bocephus4
All griping aside, this is definitely a good listen. Bocephus (Hank Williams Jr. to the uninitiated) is one of the best and most influential country artists to ever grace America - and a Conservative, to boot.
That aside, this set gets 4 stars because the music is good. It's what they don't include that draws it down. His killer version of "I Fought The Law" and some of the funnier songs from his recent "Stormy" album (i.e., "Hank Hill Is The King") are excluded in favor of nine (nine!) live songs, seven of which weren't on Hank's 1987 souvenir "Hank Live." Some of these live songs are pretty difficult to listen to (the worst of the lot being "House of the Rising Sun").
This is really a shame, as almost all of the rest of the set is exemplary. Don't listen to any other reviewer's complaints about this set not being complete - almost all of his work before 1979 was tributary tripe, anyway. On the upside, this is much better than the box set "The Complete Hank Williams Jr." This is definitely the way to go for Bocephus' entire career . . . so far.
