Hank Williams: The Complete Mother's Best Recordings..Plus

Hank Williams’ The Complete Mother’s Best Recording…Plus is the complete compilation of the “Mother’s Best” morning shows on WSM radio in 1951.

The fifteen-minute radio show featured the soothing sounds of Williams’ voice both by song and through inspiring anecdotes about music between 7:15 and 7:30 in the morning.

The compilation gives fans of this truly incomparable musician a chance at listening to his music like never before.

In a 16-disc box set, Williams’ introduction and closing pours out over your speakers, telling listeners “Mother’s Best Flower brings you that love-sick blues boy, Hank Williams” to which Williams belts out “Lovesick Blues”.

After a medley of heartfelt yodeling and note-worthy country music, Williams closes with telling his listeners “If the good Lord is willing and the Creeks don’t rise” he will see you in the morning.

Williams is a legendary artist whose voice is as natural as they come. This box set is the perfect way to transport yourself back to his era and revisit the place where his iconic songs emerged into the musical archives.

His charisma, in addition to his voice, have transcended decades since his death in 1953, at the age of 29.

Williams’ daughter, Jett, put together this bevy of entertaining recordings of her father with Jerry Rivers, Cedric Rainwater, Big Bill Lister and Don Helms who have all since passed.

Perhaps the most intrigal part of Williams’ career was Audrey, whom he married and relished in her ability to push him and give him the drive he lacked. She appears on the early discs, but she is absent from the later ones and eventually left him weeks after his last Mother’s Best show.

Fans of Williams and of the country music and yodeling genres will rejoice with this box set, as it provides an oasis of sounds that will sooth even the most jaded music listener.

With the compilation of recordings, Williams’ presence is able to live on and he’s able to finally obtain the success he was always meant to, despite his career getting cut short.

From the outward presentation of the classic jukebox all the way to what’s inside – an in-depth book explaining his recordings and musical partners – the box set is worth the listen.
