Hank Williams
This set, coming along as it did fairly early in the CD era, provides a very solid look at the genius of Hank Williams and is a fine place to start for anyone looking for an introduction. The price it right, sound is OK, and it has pretty much all of the most important material, and some curiosities as well. Arguably there are omissions, but that ...

Hank Williams
Hank Williams' body of work is so large and has been repackaged so many times in so many forms that the notion of creating a definitive compilation almost seems like an impossible goal. However, as a one-stop shopping place for Hank's basic repertoire, 40 Greatest Hits is as good as it gets. While it doesn't include everything, practically every ...

Hank Williams
Tall, charismatic, and eschewing rustic hillbilly stage outfits in favor of sleek, tailored Nudie suits, Hank Williams was country music's first true superstar, and he was more than aware that a little motion on-stage drove the ladies crazy. But it is Williams' songwriting that has ensured his legacy more than anything, and his songs -- which ...

Two years in the making, it incorporated new studio cuts and live tracks ...

Van Morrison has always been eccentric, but as he grows older, he seems to get more comfortable with his eccentricities and doesn't strain as hard to be distinctive. That's why it seems natural to have two albums in one year be as willfully individual as The Skiffle Sessions and You Win Again, a duet album with Linda Gail Lewis. In all honesty, in ...

An interesting introduction to both Cajun music and the Cajun lifestyle for youngsters. There's as much spoken word as sung, to tell stories about what it's like living in the Louisiana bayou country. Zydeco lite perhaps, but most likely enjoyable for children. Ross Boissoneau, All Music Guide
