Editorial Review:
At the peak of his career in 1951, Hank Williams recorded 143 songs for the Mother's Best Flour Company, Hank 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 second 3-disc set Hank Williams: Revealed, another historic 3-CD, 54-track 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.
This second three-CD set drawn from the Mother's Best shows includes a little more conversation, and each disc also includes a complete show. The highlights are many. On one of the earliest surviving shows, Hank plays the just-released Cold, Cold Heart without any idea of what it will do for his career. On one of the later shows, his back pain is so crippling he has to sing sitting down. The spinal problems he'd had since birth had been aggravated by the year's punishing itinerary. In the songs and chatter, Hank Williams takes us back to his world. These days, we count ourselves lucky if we find an alternate take or two by any late giant of American music. To find eighteen hours of music and talk is truly without precedent. Set the time machine for 1951.
Hank Williams: Revealed Reviews:
HANK WILLIAMS REVEALED 
2009-12-05 - WHAT CAN I SAY, TIME LIFE HAS DONE IT AGAIN WITH THIS GREAT RELEASE ON HANK. LONG AWAITED FOR YEARS BY HANK COLLECTORS AND FANS, THIS IS ONCE AGAIN A SUPERB COLLECTION OF THESE TREASURES AND VERY PROFESSIONALLY PUT TOGETHER PACKAGE ON THIS, TO ME- "KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC" FIGURE.
amazing
2009-12-04 - If you are a Hank Williams fan, this set is a must!!! What a hidden treasure! If you haveThe Unreleased Recordings, then you know what you are getting. Some of the songs are Hank's songs that you have already heard, but they are not the same as previously recorded. The literature that comes w/ the set, gives the background origin of each song. It is amazing that these recordings have survived over 50 years before they were found and released. The quality and clarity could not be better if you were sitting in the same room w/ them. The clips from the mother's best shows are simply priceless. I hope they will continue to record these sets until all recordings have been released.
Mothers Best complete shows
2009-11-05 - Hank Williams Revealed is just as good as the previous set, re-mastered superbly, the big difference is fewer singles and 3 complete shows in their place. I have supplied a link to an older release from Readers Digest that also includes 3 complete shows. It's titled The Legendary Hank WilliamsThe Legendary Hank Williams - 4 CD Set It's a 4 CD set. The first 3 are identical to the CD's in the first box set "Unreleased Recordings". The fourth CD is three complete shows. No new material except that the shows are complete and include all the dialog and all three are different than any of the three in the new box set "Revealed". I don't know how many copies are still available, so if you're interested, I would act fast. Thanks to all who had a hand in this Mothers Best project, I think they got it right on this project.
