almost 5 stars:

The only problem with this set is that it does not include some late 1951 or any 1952 recordings. For the price it is still great. However, you will need to pick up some sort of less expensive set to round it off with the great '52 songs. Some pretty big Hank standards were recorded that year, including, Your Cheatin Heart and Take These Chains From My Heart, as well, as many others. If you already have a basic Hank Collection with the big stuff from '52, then this may be the way to go. The Luke the Drifter... more info

For the amount of money it costs, this is the greatest box set ever assembled, and I'm sure of it. These 4 magnificent cd's, cool cardboard case, and excellent booklet cost less than 25 dollars! Although the first cd starts off a bit weak, and the forth cd has some songs that aren't Hank's best, 90% of the songs in this collection are absolutely impeccable!
