I ordered this "Complete Collection" set although I have another. What is appealing about this set? There are clear, definitive recordings across all of Hank Williams' too-brief career, as well as some radio spots.
There is no discernible enhancement or re-mixing that I'd detect immediately and would definitely NOT appreciate.
For those late to the groundbreaking all-electric style of the Drifting Cowboys, this Collection provides a great balance of early recordings without electric guitar, and later recordings with electric guitar. There's a dramatic difference.
I recommend the set because it does encompass many of the changes in the Hank Williams sound over a period of less than a decade. It makes it easier to appreciate the difference between 1963-1973 recordings of Hank Williams, Jr, and his later recordings (possible post-drug use)...I don't think that Hank III has evolved a signature style yet, just saying ))).
Otherwise, if you have no Hank Williams CDs, this is the one I'd recommend most highly.

As a great lover of "old fashioned" country songs
