Ken Tucker on The Complete Mother’s Best Recordings of Hank Williams: “Two years after making these recordings, Hank Williams died of a heart attack in the back seat of a car taking him to his next concert. The Mother’s Best collection reminds us that the man who came to symbolize tortured genius — and who’s been stuffed into the live-fast-die-young cliché with many rock stars — well, he was a loose goose, a commercial shrewdie and a generous genius, as well.”
