| Note | These are first-generation shows from an out-of-print official release, so the sound is the best for that time period. These shows have excellent sound, and Hank sings better on these shows than on the studio recordings. This collection isn't a sampler either. Hank only recorded eight shows, and the good news he talks about that you never hear is for local commercials, or the ability for the station to sell the shows to other sponsors in the future. |

| Comment | Out of print release titled Health & Happiness Show. The double-disc set Health & Happinesss Shows collects eight complete radio shows that Hank Williams recorded in October of 1949 (according to "Hank Williams, The Biography" by Colin Escott), when his career was just taking off. Throughout the collection, Williams sounds energetic and vibrant, even during his between-song stage patter which is nearly fascinating as the music. It's a set that is designed for collectors, but even casual Williams fans will find much to treasure on the Health & Happiness Shows.
Hank Williams (guitar, vocals); Don Helms (steel guitar); Jerry Rivers (fiddle); Hillous Butrum (guitar); Bob McNett (bass); Audrey Williams (vocals). |
