The Complete Mother's Best Recordings

At the peak of his career in 1951, Hank Williams recorded 143 songs for the Mother's Best Flour Company radio shows. He sang with his regular studio band and recorded his hits as well as songs he never recorded commercially anywhere else. From this amazing legacy, Time Life is proud to release the deluxe box set of The Complete Mother's Best Recordings...Plus!, a historic 15 CD + 1 DVD collection drawn from the Mother's Best recordings. It's a rare, informal glimpse into the heart and soul of country music's greatest star who passed away on New Year's Day 1953, at age 29. These days, we count ourselves lucky if we find an alternate take or two by any late giant of American music. To find hours upon hours of music and talk is truly without precedent. Set the time machine for 1951. The DVD contains interviews with two of the Mother's Best band members. Also includes a 180-page illustrated, hardcover book, and a poster-sized map chronicling Hank's 1951 tour.
