Editorial Reviews
Product description
Essential 2CD collection from the original outlaw includes Hey Good Lookin' & Your Cheatin' Heart.
Amazon.com
With a legend like Hank, than man who largely dragged country music into the modern age, the question is how do you pick just 40 of his songs? There were the immediately obvious biggies like "Hey Good Lookin'," "Jambalaya," and "Move It On Over," but almost everything was a gem in one way or another. Whether this collection is the greatest hits or not will depend on the listener, but for anyone with even the slightest curiosity about country music, it's essential listening. Hank was a landmark of the genre, and to hear him is to understand how country could change from rural to urban. Essential listening for everyone. --Chris Nickson

Hank"s music speaks to the heart of everyone!
Like many I suppose, I was introduced to the Williams' musical legacy via Hank Williams Jr., in the late 70s in my case. And while I enjoy some of Jr.'s songs, like 'Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound' for instance, as a whole Jr. is just not my cup of coffee.
I don't really know when I became aware of the existence of Hank Williams III; sometime in the early 00s I suppose. However, I never took the time or felt the need to investigate III, given that Jr. didn't really do all that much for me, but more so because I'm just not a big fan of Country music, never have been. I am however a fan of Rock, Metal and even some extreme Metals. Consequently, in 2004 I was reminded of III's existence through his Rock/Metal projects; 'III & Assjack' and 'Superjoint Ritual'. However, in my opinion Hank III's excursions into Rock/Metal have to date produced mediocre results at best. But because of his Rock/Metal forays I decided that maybe I should check out some of III's Country music. Well, what a great surprise, now we've got something, III's Country music is really good! And my liking his Country music was a bit surprising given that I don't care for Country music, but III's music is not your typical present-day Country music, it is in large part reminiscent of his Grandfather's music.
I found it somewhat odd and interesting that III obviously found more inspiration in his Grandfather's music than his Father's music. So, this left only one logical thing for me to do; spend some time and check out Hank Sr.'s music. Of course I'd already heard 'Your Cheatin' Heart', 'I'm So Lonesome' and 'Cold, Cold Heart', so I had a good idea of what he was about, but WOW, he has so much more great material. Sr.'s music is inspired, and is in my opinion clearly the most compelling of the three Williams boys. That is in no way meant to devalue the other two, but Sr.'s music is on a whole different plane. Sr.'s music conveys emotion which you know comes from a genuine place, you know that his music is pure and real. Hell, the man drank himself to death at the age of 29, and I don't think you can do that without being tortured by a few demons. I've often said that the tortured artist is almost without exception the most prolific, inspired, creative and brilliant. Hank Sr. is an unfortunate but prime example of that.
Well, all of this got me to thinking; given that I don't like Country music, why do I find Sr.'s music so endearing? It's simple I suppose, Sr. is PURE Country. It is not the same music that people today are calling Country music. Sr.'s music is totally unbastardized, it is Country music before subsequent generations took it and diluted it with other influences resulting in a pallid concoction that barely resembles what it once was. And this brings me to why I also like III's music. While it's not totally pure like Sr.'s, it's also not that far removed, and it's about as close to real Country as you are going to get from a present-day artist. Don't get me wrong, I do find some value in modern Country, as I would plow Twain and Hill from now till Christmas, but that is where my interest in modern Country terminates. And if you happen to be like me and think that Country music is primarily for the NASCAR set, you might be surprised by the contents of this compilation. Hank Williams Sr. is a warmly welcomed addition to my music collection, and I'm pretty certain that you'll feel the same way.

さて、このアルバムですがカントリ−の大御所であるとともに戦後間もないあたりから活躍したハンク・ウィリアムスのベストです。カントリー経験値はDランクの僕ですが、名盤ということで購入しました。
カントリー&ウエスタンが現在まで進化をつづけ、英語圏での人気ぶりは日本人にはちょっと理解しづらいですが、今やポピュラーミュージックですよね。シャナイアとか。美しい詩と美しいメロディは普遍的です。
そんでハンク・ウイリアムスは戦後まもなくデビューでしょうか、1947年の曲からクレジットされています。エルヴィスやジョニー・キャッシュより以前のアーティストということですね?しかし織りなすメロディーはやはりすごいな。うなりますね。ロック発展の原点のなかの一つを感じることが出来ます。
もっと早く聴いてみれば良かったなあ、というアーティストですね。
ハンク・ウィリアムスの残した作品(録音)には大袈裟ですが何かしら“うまい”とか“下手”とか理屈云々を超えた響きがあり、他のカントリーシンガーとは違う異質のものを感じます。やはり、若くして亡くなった彼の人生を作品に重ねてしまうからなのでしょうか。
人生の悲哀、苦悩を乾いた風に乗せて高らかに歌い、笑う彼の姿は“LOVESICK BLUES”などのよくある恋の痛手からはじまり、俺の心は穴の空いたバケツだとか、泣きたいくらい寂しいと歌い上げ、最後の讃美歌のような“I SAW THE LIGHT”へとまるで一陣の風が如く吹き抜けて行きます。
もしかすると「カントリーという小芝居」をしていなかったのは彼だけかも知れない。彼の場合、もしかするとこの思いつめたような歌のセリフは正真正銘の本音だったのではないでしょうか。と思いふけります。
この勇敢な彼の歌が、これからも沢山の人に聴かれる続けてゆく事を願います。
