The Complete Hank Williams is a 1998 Mercury Records box set (314 536 077-2) comprising ten compact discs and 225 tracks documenting the full arc of Williams's recording career, from his earliest sessions in 1947 through his final studio dates before his death on January 1, 1953. The set includes thirty-three charted hits, fifty-three previously unreleased recordings, live performances, radio transcriptions, and spoken-word material, accompanied by two scholarly booklets. Produced by Colin Escott, the compilation won Grammy Awards for Best Historical Album and Best Recording Package — Boxed at the 1999 ceremony. It remains the definitive archival survey of Williams's recorded legacy and a cornerstone reference for the study of classic country music and its bluegrass-adjacent roots.
