"The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams" ist nach "The Songs of Jimmie Rodgers - A Tribute" erst die zweite Veröffentlichung auf Bob Dylan's eigenem Label Egyptian Records. Es enthält einige seit Jahren mit Spannung erwarteten Songs mit Texten von Hank Williams, die nun erstmals mit Musik versehen und aufgenommen wurden.
Zu den Interpreten zählen neben Dylan selbst u.a. sein Sohn Jakob, Sheryl Crow, Jack White, Lucinda Williams und Norah Jones. Die 13 Künstler, die an der Entstehung des Albums beteiligt waren und deren eigenes musikalisches Wirken stark von Williams beeinflusst wurde, schufen aus Hank's handschriftlichen Aufzeichnungen ein Dutzend neuer Songs.
Product Information
The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams is a long-awaited collection of previously unrecorded Hank Williams lyrics newly set to music and performed for the first time as completed songs by a roster of artists with a musical and spiritual kinship to the archetypal American country music singer-songwriter.
Created from writings left behind by country music's "lovesick blues boy," The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams premieres the first-ever performances of 12 previously unheard Hank Williams lyric compositions newly set to music by 13 artists whose own sensibilities have been profoundly shaped by Williams.
The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams project began with the idea of finding a well-known artist, one who felt Hank's inspiration and influence, to record an album's worth of the unheard songs. After veteran music industry manager/A&R executive Mary Martin approached Bob Dylan, a natural first choice for the endeavor, the project evolved into a multi-artist tribute providing a variety of sympathetic approaches to this rich mysterious material.
From heartbreak to honky-tonking, from Jesus to gin mills, Hank Williams wrote about life's deepest truths and sang with an ethereal authority on such unforgettable songs as "Your Cheatin' Heart," "I Saw the Light," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," "Cold, Cold Heart" and many more.
When Hank Williams died, at the age of 29, in the back of his Cadillac sometime early morning on New Year's Day 1953, he left behind a scuffed, embroidered brown leather briefcase, which he used to carry bound notebooks, among other items, darkening their pages with lyrics and song ideas. Some were fully finished, some just started.
The odyssey of Hank Williams' notebooks is recounted in the album's liner notes, penned by Michael McCall from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, who observes, "The history of Hank's notebooks is as complex as the legend himself. Yet, in the end, what matters most are the songs, and these new works rise from the ether with ghostly relevance. As with his many standards, these new recordings tap straight into the soul of man. This is songwriting at its most artful and most powerful."

Reviews
,,Merle Haggard, Lucinda Williams und Alan Jackson kommen dem 0riginal auf ,,The Lost Notebooks 0f Hank Williams" sehr nahe. Jack White und Jakob Dylan hingegen nähern sich Williams auf ihre ganz eigene Art und Weise." (Audio, Dezember 2011),,Emotionale Würdigung eines zu früh Verstorbenen." (Stereoplay, Dezember 2011)
