Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great BuyI'm really impressed by this 4 CD collection. Apart from his last 1952 the CD's covers Hank Williams' entire career. hough it's slightly frustrating having to look out for his last recordings somewhere else, this is really a great buy. The sound surprisingly good, even the radio acetates from his Health and Happiness shows sound good, and it's very interesting to experience a little of how Williams was a a live performer. The 52 pages booklet contains a detailed biography and a lot of information about Hank's sessions and recordings. Highly recommended Rating:  - Almost as good as it get's...This CD is one of the best Hank Williams greatest hit's albums I've seen around. It's got almost all of his most popular songs such as; "I'm so lonesome I could cry," "Long gone lonesome blues," "Jambalaya," "I Saw The Light," etc as well as many rarer songs and Luke the Drifter songs. Though it is still not complete. It is missing a few well-known songs like "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Angel of Death," and a few others. And there are a whole lot of other not so well known songs that are not featured on the album that are really good, such as; "Alone and foresaken," "Please don't let me love you," "Someday you'll call my name," "I can't escape from you," among a few others. I definitely reccomend buying this CD though and then picking up the slack ... Read More: Rating: - Thinking Of OrderingThis sounds like a wonderful boxed set. But there are not song samples available with the CD song list, so one cannot hear ahead of time, what the sound quality will be. It would be helpful to have the sample link available. Older recordings can vary so much in sound listenability. PS (added June 2007) I did order this, and the sound quality is very excellent. Rating: - Great CD Set!The music contained herein is a great overview of Hank Williams' earlier work and includes many hits and many obscure tunes. If you're a fan of toe-tappin' early country music or if you're a fan of the great Hank Williams Sr., then this set is definitely for you. The sound quality is very good (although a few of the Health & Happiness show transcriptions are a mite scratchy, as are a couple of other tunes) and there a nice booklet all about Hank and the music. "Hillbilly Hero" is another fantastic value from the folks at Proper. How they manage to produce such great sets at such a low price is a mystery to me but I hope they never stop. Rating: - 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. |
