Customer Reviews

almost 5 stars
The only problem with this set is that it does not include some late 1951 or any 1952 recordings. For the price it is still great. However, you will need to pick up some sort of less expensive set to round it off with the great '52 songs. Some pretty big Hank standards were recorded that year, including, Your Cheatin Heart and Take These Chains From My Heart, as well, as many others. If you already have a basic Hank Collection with the big stuff from '52, then this may be the way to go. The Luke the Drifter and Audrey duets seem to throw off the rotation a bit, which is why I will always reccomend Original Singles Collection, which contains all the singles released under the name Hank Williams(all of '52 included)plus, many great unreleased demos on the second half of the thrid disc. You can pick it up used on Amazon for a similar price as this set. Even if you buy it new, it will be worth it.

The best boxset ever!
This boxset is better then the expansive Complete Hank Williams set and about 75% cheaper. On 3 cds, each one is over 70 minutes long, you get every song that you need to hear from Hank Williams. The fourth is the Health and Happiness shows, while I didnt prefer those too much-hearing Hank talk is awesome. His voice is so cool and a good live performer. This is a essential set, a might buy for a music lover.

Hank Williams is a god
I have had this wonderful box set for less than a month, and I'm already beginning to wear out the 4 wonderful discs. For the amount of money it costs, this is the greatest box set ever assembled, and I'm sure of it. These 4 magnificent compact discs, cool cardboard case, and excellent booklet cost less than 25 dollars! Although the first cd starts off a bit weak, and the forth cd has some songs that aren't Hank's best, 90% of the songs in this collection are absolutely impeccable! Before I purchased this collection, I knew that Hank Williams was excellent, but I had no idea that he was a god. How on earth did such a simple and uneducated man write these lyrics?! Some of the poetry in these songs, especially on the depressing and melancholy tunes, is comparable to the work of all of Europe's greatest classical writers and poets. If you have the "40 Greatest Hits" cd, you should still buy this! This is because the demos at the end of disc three contain some of Hank's best lyrics, and these songs are not included on "40 Greatest Hits". There is more to Hank Williams than just his hits! He doesn't just have great party songs, he also has extremely dark and cryptic songs about death and misery, and glorious and heavenly spiritual tunes. In conclusion, Hank Williams belongs up there with Robert Johnson, Louis Armstrong, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Son House, Django Reinhardt, Bessie Smith, Louis Jordan etc. In other words, Hank too, was the blues; and he was a god!
