with Hank Williams

Hank Williams' career was brief and incendiary. Now, sixty years after his passing, we finally get a sense of Hank Williams onstage, adding another dimension to the scant knowledge of him. The performances heard here were recorded on acetate discs (meant to be played only once or twice) that were shelved in 1951. In the '70s, they were saved from the trash and given to Hank's daughter, Jett. She fought an eight-year battle to establish ownership, finally winning the right to release them
