What's the most COMPLETE Collection?
I ordered this "Complete Collection" set although I have another. What is appealing about this set? There are clear, definitive recordings across all of Hank Williams' too-brief career, as well as some radio spots.There is no discernible enhancement or re-mixing that I'd detect immediately and would definitely NOT appreciate.For those late to the groundbreaking all-electric style of the Drifting Cowboys, this Collection provides a great balance of early recordings without electric guitar, and later recordings with electric guitar. There's a dramatic difference.I recommend the set because it does encompass many of the changes in the Hank Williams sound over a period of less than a decade. It makes it easier to appreciate the difference between 1963-1973 recordings of Hank Williams, Jr, and his later recordings (possible post-drug use)...I don't think that Hank III has evolved a signature style yet, just saying ))).Otherwise, if you have no Hank Williams CDs, this is the one I'd recommend most highly.

Good sound and a great collection.
If you like the universal and timeless themes in a Hank Williams song or are just a fan, you'll love this collection. For those of you new to Hank Williams, Sr., these discs were compiled from old recordings so don't expect flawless digital sound, but the sound reproduction here is good. And especially if your new to Hank Williams, Sr., he may not have been a great father, but he was a great song writer and even better performer than Jr. in my opinion.

Good value, but far from "complete"
Any fan of Hank Williams' music has learned to view CDs called "Complete" with caution. This three-disc set is no exception. Each disc has 20 songs: Greatest Hits, live recordings and solo demos. The greatest hits are well chosen, but leave out essentials like "Ramblin' Man" and the wonderfully morose "Please Make Up Your Mind." The live cuts, again, are well chosen, but are without any continuity or much explanation. The last disc, solo demos (some later overdubbed with other musicians), is again a good mix of selections, but is far, far from "complete." One booklet has a brief biography of Ol' Hank, while the other two booklets list just the songs and basic credits. All of the above aside, "The Complete Collection" is a very good value (I paid less than $10.00) as an inexpensive introduction to the many facets of the incredibly prolific original King of Country Music.

Loved it and lost it
Loved this order, but we lost it in the flood in mid-michigan. Unfortunately we had not yet ripped it and backed it up so we lost it all, but nevertheless it was well worth the price and great quality.

Classic Country Music!
I like the Hank Williams Complete Collection CDs because the country sound is so clear and easy to listen to. When I am riding in my car, I put on the CD and sing along with the King of Country!

As a great lover of "old fashioned" country songs
As a great lover of "old fashioned" country songs, especially of Mr. Hank Wlliams Sr., I bought this box some months ago and trust me, I'm listening to these three cds since that day.It's a collection of his most famous songs, the third cd is all about live radio sessions (very interesting) where he sings and makes little chat.The only thing that disappointed me was that the paper box which contained the three cds was ruined in a bad way. But that has depended from the seller or the delivery to Italy. I was so happy that I didn't investigate too much on the matter (now I regret it).I truly reccomend this collection if you love Hank Williams Sr.'s songs!

Bum rap for Audrey.
Love this, especially the live performances. I don't know if it's me but there is a duet with his first wife ( Audrey ) and it's not at all bad, the mix is wrong and she's too loud and he's too quiet, I was lead to believe that she " couldn't carry a tune in a bucket " but I dispute this, I rather think she had a nice voice, and good sense of timing, pity as they could have become as successful perhaps as Johnny Cash and June Carter.
