All Music Guide - Steve Leggett
Hank Williams is where modern country began. His brilliant songwriting, stage sense, and unassuming vocal delivery, although it's hard to imagine it now, made him the template for everything that followed in his wake.

This archival set includes the only two actual concerts ever recorded of Williams, both from 1952, the last year of his life, and they feature a more relaxed and less scripted Williams than the "live" recordings he frequently made for radio shows.

Also included here is a radio interview Williams did with Mack Sanders in 1951 for KFBI in Wichita, Kansas.
