The Hank Williams Complete Mother Best Recording…Plus!, released by Tim Life, will offer fans an abundance of music, interviews, and classic Hank Williams music. 

 
The set will include recordings from 72 of Williams’ Mother’s Best Flour shows. Found miraculously in a trashcan, the recordings are a rare chance to hear some songs that date back to Williams’ childhood. 
 
The included DVD will feature performances of songs such as “Cold, Cold Heart” and commentary from two of Williams’ original band members regarding his brief career. 
 
The Senior Vice President of Retail at Time Life, Mike Jason, spoke of the rarity and value of such a collection. 
 
“It’s almost unthinkable that this music and Hank’s revealing conversations on air survived these many decades to be with us here and now,” said Jason. “If you weren’t listening to radio in early 1951, you never had the chance to hear and get to know Hank this way.”
 
Look for the collection from Time Life on Sept. 28.
