- The amazon review is a joke not this set.
Anyone who claims, in written word, that the historical duet between Hank Williams Sr. and Hank Williams Jr. of "There's a Tear in my Beer", does not need to be included on this set of music, should be fired. It's rare that true talents, such as Hank Sr. have offspring who are ,at least, almost as good, even if in a different style. This song and video was a smash and people still talk about it today. It was the father of the Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole's duet of "Unforgetable" Would this guy knock that song on one of their collections? Anyone who is not moved to hear a son, who never really "knew" his father, sing with him and the father sing with the grown son who he never got to see grow up, needs to find the Wizard of Oz and ask for a heart. That said, this is a "Greatest Hits" box set, that means radio songs, and it is a good collection. No it is not complete, but it is a complete greatest hits.

- Bocephus at his best
I was given the complete Hank Williams Jr. set for Christmas and I love every song on it. I love Hank Jr.'s blend of different styles of music ranging from country to rock to blues to jazz. The only songs that I feel should have been on this album were I Got Rights and My Name is Bocephus. But all in all I think this is the best compilation of an artist's career in any genre.

- Complete set not so Complete!
This set may be the complete works of Hank Jr. under Curb rule but is by far the complete set of Hank Jr.'s career. The music is great. This is a great compilation of Hank's work. Each song brings back a memory for me. This is a great compilation but complete it is not. Also see his boxes called "The Bocephus Box" and "Living Proof-The MGM Recordings".

- A candid endeavour!
This was a bold, frank, empassioned endeavour from a candid, cunning artist. The lyrics ooze heartbreak and demand compassion. "Kaw-Liga", which borrows musicians from the Bulgarian Philharmonic (I just love it when Yastindov Konstantinplov gets down on the balalaika while Hank strums the dulcimer), is about Hank Junior's previous career as a minced pastrami salesman.

- Nobody wants to get drunk & get loud.....
I LOVE Hank Williams, Jr., and this compilation is a staple, but where is Blues Man?!?! Simply the greatest song he's done (in my opinion) - look for it on one of the greatest hits albums (I think it's Vol. 5)
