ULTIMATE BOX SET OF HANK WILLIAMS AT HIS PRIME.

At the peak of his career in 1951 Hank Williams recorded 143 songs for the Mother's Best Flour Company radio shows. He sang with his regular studio band and recorded his hits as well as songs he never recorded commercially anywhere else.
From this amazing legacy, Time Life is proud to release the deluxe box set of THE COMPLETE MOTHER'S BEST RECORDINGS...PLUS!, a historic 15 CD + 1 DVD collection drawn from the Mother's Best recordings.

It's a rare, informal glimpse into the heart and soul of country music's greatest star who passed away on New Year's Day 1953, at age 29.
These days, we count ourselves lucky if we find an alternate take or two by any late giant of American music. To find hours upon hours of music and talk is truly without precedent. Set the time machine for 1951.

The Complete Grammy-Nominated Collection now available on Amazon.com. Limited edition, deluxe box set, with many performances available here for the first time. This collection increases the number of Hank Williams recordings by 50%! Painstakingly restored sound, by Grammy® winner Joe Palmaccio.

Bonus DVD, featuring a moving conversation with the last two members of Hank's Mother's Best Band. A 108-page beautifully illustrated hard covered book with many previously unpublished photos and related memorabilia. With an Introduction by Hank Williams, Jr. and Afterword by Jett Williams. Also included is a poster-sized map chronicling Hank's punishing 1951 schedule.

Box dimensions: 10 inches (tall), 9 inches (wide), 7.25 inches (deep). Hank Williams like you've never heard him before!

Review

It's hard to decide which is more extraordinary about a new collection of vintage Hank Williams radio shows: the music or the brilliant snapshot they offer of a vanishing moment in American life. --New York Daily News

There's magic in these radio shows, meant to be ephemeral and now captured for eternity, like a soap bubble preserved in a box. The result is a prismatic view of an iconic performer. --All Things Considered

The box's recordings are amazingly clear and crisp. That's no small feat since they were originally acetates that survived six decades. --Dallas Morning News
