Music reviews of I Saw The Light

Music Review: Mercury Nashville is at it again!!
Rating: 2 Stars

What they don't tell you until you open up the CD (and then it's not exactly explicit) is this all comes from "The Complete Hank Williams" and none of the original overdubs are on here.

I know we're in a period where that "unplugged" is really popular and everyone of these songs are great, but there are going to be a lot of people who think they're buying this in it's original LP format. The former CD version of this came up many times in a STEREO overdubbed release with a horrendous amount of tape noise, so you'd think that the way the title reads, it's the original LP with stereo overdubbing stripped.

So, were the recordings on "Complete" not remastered? Again, something doesn't make sense here. Take a look at my edited review on "Complete" and you will see enough alternates left off to market a CD without using ANY takes from "Complete". But, of course, Kira Florita and Colin Escott take no interest in that. These takes are all sitting in Mercury's vaults awaiting a big September 2003 release when they will "discover" more material and have legal "rights" to the Mother's Best shows.
