The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams, a new collection of previously unheard songs by the country great recorded by artists such as Bob Dylan, Jack White,
Norah Jones and Levon Helm, will be released on October 4th. The set,
which will be issued on Dylan's imprint Egyptian Records, was originally
conceived by veteran A&R executive Mary Martin as a Dylan-centric
project, but eventually evolved into a multi-artist tribute to the late
singer-songwriter.
The songs featured in the set were rescued
from notebooks left behind in a leather briefcase by Williams after he
died in 1953 at the age of 29. The notes contained lyrics and song ideas
that were finished by the 13 artists who contributed to the disc. The
full story of Williams' notebooks will be told in the album's liner
notes, which were penned by Michael McCall of the Country Music Hall of
Fame and Museum.
The full tracklisting for The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams is as follows:
Alan Jackson "You've Been Lonesome, Too"
Bob Dylan "The Love That Faded"
Norah Jones "How Many Times Have You Broken My Heart?"
Jack White "You Know That I Know"
