Price:	$135.00
Catalog #:	DOY 005LP

"Once in a great while a truly superlative musical talent comes along, it only happens a handful of times per century, and one of those times 'it' was Hank Williams. Despite his swift and total rise to superstardom by the age of 25, by 29 he was dead in the back of his own Cadillac...but it is what happened in the interim that made all the difference. While America, returning victorious from the War in 1945, attempted to create an image of a invincibility, wealth and power, there was a guy with a guitar from a place called 'Wrong Side of the Tracks' who had another story to tell, a story that, amid all the propaganda and ticker tape parades, Americans could relate to and -- judging from the record sales -- obviously wanted to hear. From 1947 to 1953 Hank Williams recorded 66 songs under his own name, of which 37 were hits, enough to last country music stations for the next half a century and beyond. Songs like 'Cold Cold Heart', 'Hey Good Lookin'', 'Your Cheatin' Heart', 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry', and many more, have become standards in American music. These 6 LPs: I Saw The Light, Honky Tonkin', Sing Me A Blue Song, Ramblin' Man, Sings, and Montgomery, were originally mostly released in the 10" format between 1954 and 1959 (and were themselves a collection of various studio sessions and previous '78s), except for Sings, originally released in 1951, and Montgomery, a collection of rare early private recordings, radio airchecks and demos, with the earliest recording being 'Happy Rovin' Cowboy', from 1939, when Hank was just 16 years old. Now collected together in a luxury edition box set!"

On 180 gram vinyl. "Once in a great while a truly superlative musical talent comes along, it only happens a handful of times per century, and one of those times 'it' was Hank Williams. Despite his swift and total rise to super stardom by the age 25, by 29 he was dead in the back of his own Cadillac...but it is what happened in the meantime that made all the difference. While America, returning victorious from the War in 1945, attempted to create an image of a invincibility, wealth and power in the face of its citizens and the world, there was a boy with a guitar from a place called 'Wrong Side of the Tracks', Alabama, who had another story to tell, a story that, amid all the propaganda and ticker tape parades, Americans could relate to and, judging from the record sales, obviously wanted to hear, and from 1946 to 1951 Hank Williams recorded enough hits to last country music stations for the following fifty. He dominated the country music charts throughout this period (with 11 number 1 songs and many more in the top ten), and songs like 'Cold Cold Heart', 'Hey Good Lookin'', and 'Your Cheatin' Heart', have become standards in American music.

Title:	Montgomery
Label:	DOXY (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	DOY 631LP

"A collection of rare early private recordings, radio airchecks and demos by the man who single-handedly penned many of today's country music standards. The first recording featured here, 'Happy Rovin' Cowboy', is from 1939, when Hank was just 16 years old. He began making his own private recordings in recording booths, often simulating radio show performances in an attempt to impress a real station. Hank got his first gig at a real station, however, by playing outside the entrance WFSA in Montgomery until they finally invited him to play inside. Soon 'The Singin' Kid', as he was then known, became so popular with local audiences that he got his own show, dropped out of high school, formed his own band and began touring all over the South. Hank was soon fired from WFSA, however, for 'habitual drunkenness', but this did little to stall his career. If anything, it was WWII that slowed the entire recording industry down, but nonetheless Hank still managed to get some demos out during this time, many of which are included here. By 1948, Hank had his first massive country hit and was off to greener pastures, namely Shreveport, Louisiana and the legendary Louisiana Hayride." 180 gram virgin vinyl.

Title:	Shreveport Sessions
Label:	DOXY (ITALY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$32.00
Catalog #:	DOY 632LP

"When Hank arrived in Shreveport in August 1948, KWKH's now legendary Louisiana Hayride (but at the time just one of many popular radio barn dance's being broadcast across the South) had yet to attract a major act (Elvis, Johnny Cash, Faron Young, Webb Pierce, Jim Reeves, and Slim Whitman all came after), and Hank himself was barely known outside of Montgomery. Hank managed nonetheless to get a spot on the Hayride (sponsored by the Johnnie Fair syrup company), which he held down until May of the following year, when the success of 'Lovesick Blues' meant that Hank was on to the bright lights of Nashville. During this period (Aug. 1948-May 1949) Hank made a number of recordings, including several acetates that were recorded for KWKH to broadcast when Hank was away on other engagements. This material, almost entirely comprised of Hank singing other artists' songs, gives fans an enlightening glimpse of Hank's many influences and how his style developed over the years. However, Hank also recorded acetates of his own material while he was with the Hayride, mostly with Curley Williams, which he sent over to Acuff-Rose in Nashville, and these are also included here."

Title:	Nashville Sessions
Label:	DOXY (ITALY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$32.00
Catalog #:	DOY 633LP

"In 1951 Hank Williams was ready for the big time, and in country music that meant Nashville, Tennessee, The Grand Ole Opry, and particularly the Acuff-Rose Music company. Acuff-Rose, run by Grand Ole Opry Star Roy Acuff and professional song writer Fred Rose, was the first Nashville-based music company and the mainstay of country music for many years. Here, under Rose's tutelage, Hank's true talent began to shine and his songs just got better and better. This double LP is a collection of Hank's work from 1949-1952, with disc one being a collection of demos recorded during Hank's brief time in Nashville, including alternate versions of the three songs-- 'Kaw-Liga,' 'Your Cheatin' Heart,' and 'Jambalaya'--that Hank took to the top of the charts. The demo version of 'Kaw-Liga', which Hank co-wrote with Fred Rose, is very different from the one he eventually released, a welcome surprise for any fan! It also includes versions of 'I Could Never Be Ashamed of You', written for his shotgun bride, Billie Jean; an amazing and foreboding version of 'Angel of Death', suggesting that Hank knew full well that he didn't have much time left; and 'Log Train', a song written for Hank's dad, and chronicling his early boyhood in logging camps. How To Write Folk And Western Music To Sell was a booklet published in 1951, and while Hank did not actually write the text, he did lend his name to the project and market it on radio stations across the South. Disc two features a collection of songs Hank sold to other artists during this period (with one example being 'A Tear in My Beer', which Hank gave to Big Bill Lister, but which just sat around in an attic until it was discovered by Lister's son in 1988), and rare radio performances from 1950, including the 'Farmer Jim' show in Jackson, Mississippi and the March of Dimes broadcast. Includes detailed liner notes." 180 gram virgin vinyl.
