"Even if you have THE COMPLETE HANK WILLIAMS, you need the entire 8-c.d. set in this series for the 25 overdubs and 8 alternate demos found nowhere else. Buy them at least long enough to burn these tracks. You can take the 10-volume COMPLETE HANK WILLIAMS, THE HEALTH AND HAPPINESS SHOWS, the various overdubs, alternate tracks, RARE DEMOS, HANK WILLIAMS LIVE AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY, and lift 17 overbuds from Hank's early-1960's l.p.'s, and you'll have a nice 15-c.d. collection. About 330 songs. Then, wait for his MOTHER'S BEST live shows to be released, and you'll have a grand total of about 600 Hank Williams tracks. The COMPLETE HANK WILLIAMS has only about 225 tracks. But you'll need this 8-volume set to get there! How on earth can a human being like Hank write and record 600 tracks in only six years? Or WAS he a mere human?"
