5.0 out of 5 stars I Saw The Light
wonderful old music. brought back many great memories. many words we should all think of everyday. People today have lost their love of one another. We need to get back the old standards or how we treat out neighbors. We have the 33 rpm record and now enjoy having the CD to play while traveling.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mercury Nashville is at it again!!
How many thought you'd be getting the original LP that has been around for almost 45 years (it was issued on a 10 inch LP in 1957)? I thought so also, so I rushed out and bought this...

What they don't tell you until you open up the CD (and then it's not exactly explicit) is this all comes from "The Complete Hank Williams" and none of the original overdubs are on...

2.0 out of 5 stars Mercury Nashville is at it again!!, April 24, 2001
This review is from: I Saw The Light (Audio CD)
How many thought you'd be getting the original LP that has been around for almost 45 years (it was issued on a 10 inch LP in 1957)? I thought so also, so I rushed out and bought this...

What they don't tell you until you open up the CD (and then it's not exactly explicit) is this all comes from "The Complete Hank Williams" and none of the original overdubs are on here.

I know we're in a period where that "unplugged" is really popular and everyone of these songs are great, but there are going to be a lot of people who think they're buying this in it's original LP format. The former CD version of this came up many times in a STEREO overdubbed release with a horrendous amount of tape noise, so you'd think that the way the title reads, it's the original LP with stereo overdubbing stripped.

So, were the recordings on "Complete" not remastered? Again, something doesn't make sense here. Take a look at my edited review on "Complete" and you will see enough alternates left off to market a CD without using ANY takes from "Complete". But, of course, Kira Florita and Colin Escott take no interest in that. These takes are all sitting in Mercury's vaults awaiting a big September 2003 release when they will "discover" more material and have legal "rights" to the Mother's Best shows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Hank, April 3, 2007
This review is from: I Saw The Light (Audio CD)
Every cut on this CD is great, as with most Hank Williams offerings. The often left out "Angel of Death" makes this CD a great collection. Buy it, you won't be sorry.
