Hank Williams

2 LPS ON 1 CD Plus 6 BONUS TRACKS

This essential edition presents two of Williams’ finest LPs, which were released posthumously in 1956 by the MGM label: the long unavailable masterpiece Moanin’ the Blues, and the equally wonderful I Saw the Light, which included the album’s iconic title track. These LPs contain some of Hank Williams’ greatest studio recordings from the peak of his career, as well as lesser-known numbers that are just as enjoyable as the classics. Both sensational albums have been remastered and packaged together in this collector’s edition, which also includes 6 bonus tracks. The set constitutes a treasure of incalculable value, marking one of the most important building blocks of country music.
