3.0 out of 5 stars Too Short, June 1, 2000

This review is from: The Best Of Hank Williams (Audio CD)

I bought this CD after it caught my eye in the record store. I didn't know much about Hank Williams, aside from the fact that he was important to the early days of country music. As a newcomer to Hank Williams, I'm happy with the CD, but surprised that they could only find 33 minutes of material for this "twentieth century master." (the name of the series). IMHO, if an artist is dead or from the way distant past, a greatest hits should include as much material as possible. I'm sure Hank Williams has more than 12 memorable songs.

2.0 out of 5 stars A complete waste of time like the other c.d.'s in the series, March 31, 2004

Buying a 12-song "Best of Hank Williams" c.d. is as pointless as buying one on Frank Sinatra or The Beatles. It's like eating a small bite of a sandwich and being satisfied that you ate the entire sandwich.

Williams was one of the giants of 20th Century popular music and the greatest of all country singers. Even the out-of-print "40 Greatest Hits" double set doesn't do him justice. Go ahead and buy the "Complete Hank Williams." Hank's WORTH it! Besides, prices are firming up on the set, it won't always be available, and you can pass it down to your descendents.
