What the critics are saying about the box set:
"… His rise and complete dominance, his excellence, and his hard fall and death are chronicled int his boxed set, which is as near to being the aplha and omega of Williams' work…"
- Tom Piazza, New York Times
"… This set is musically satisfying and historically fascinating. Bottom Line: deserving tribute to Nashville's Gershwin."
- Ralph Novak, People
"… To say that (Hank Williams) is the single most significant figure in the history of country music is to understate this importance. To say that this incredible elaborate 10-CD box set measures up to his legend likewise understates the significance of this stunning tribute to Williams' glory."
- Henry Cabot Beck, Interview
"… Hank was the original real deal. He was the king of American troubadours, the progenitor of traditional country music, the archetypal hero for most of today's roots rockers, and a truly prodigious talent who left behind an incredible collection of songs that are revered as much today as they were back in his day…"
- Michael Gelfand, Musician
"… As this 10-CD set makes clear, Williams is more than just the single most important songwriter and performer in country music history. He is simply one of America's greatest artists period."
- Michael McCall, Pulse
"… Hank Williams is the wellspring from which all modern country music has emerged. He defined its sound… its subject matter… and its style…"
- Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly
"… Williams managed in his brief, six year recording career to become - and remain to this day - the most influential artist that country music has known (or) … what remains clear throughout the 10 discs is Williams' humor, pain, musical simplicity and all-around honesty as a songwriter and performer."
- Dan Aquilante, New York Post
"… The Complete Hank Williams provides and intimate look and listen at a man who changed the face of country music forever, and whose importance still resonates in the music we hear today."
