Description

The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams is a 2011 album by various artists from the folk, country, and rock genres who set music to lyrics written by country musician Hank Williams.

In 2006, a janitor working for Sony/ATV Music Publishing claimed to have found Williams’ unfinished lyrics inside a Sony-owned dumpster. She said that she had sold Williams’ notes to a representative of the Honky-Tonk Hall of Fame and the Rock-N-Roll Roadshow. She was then accused of theft, but the charges were dropped when a judge determined the janitor’s version of events to be true.

The unpublished lyrics were later returned to Sony/ATV, who handed them to Bob Dylan in 2008 to complete the songs for an album subsequently titled “The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams”, that included artists Alan Jackson, Norah Jones, Jack White, Lucinda Williams, Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell, Patty Loveless, Holly Williams, Levon Helm, Jakob Dylan, Sheryl Crow and Merle Haggard.
