Artists including former White Stripes mainman Jack White and the legendary Bob Dylan have been confirmed to appear on a new compilation album celebrating the work of the late Hank Williams.
Entitled ‘The Lost Notebooks Of Hank Williams‘, the album will see 12 tracks newly-recorded by various stars using only unfinished lyrics and ideas which were found in a briefcase belonging to Williams after his death in 1953.
Despite passing away at the age of just 29 in circumstances which still cause debate to this day, Hank Williams had never-the-less already cemented his legacy as one of the most important country music stars ever by the time of his untimely death.
Other acts who will contribute to the record include Norah Jones and Sheryl Crowe.
