NotesFrom the critically acclaimed Unreleased Recordings come the songs that Hank Williams, born Hiram King Williams in Mount Olive West, Alabama, wanted to play and sing when he was with his people. The songs on THE UNRELEASED RECORDINGS: GOSPEL KEEPSAKES capture the country music legend at his most inspired. Commercial pressures meant that Williams rarely recorded gospel music for his releases; however, when he made these recordings for the Mothers Best Flour radio shows in 1951 Hank made sure that religious music was well represented. He performed old time Jubilees, formal Hymns, Gospel Songs and Southern Quartet Music, and we've gathered them for this very special Hank Williams treasure. THE UNRELEASED RECORDINGS: GOSPEL KEEPSAKES includes a never-before-released version of one of the most popular hymns of the twentieth century, Williams classic I Saw the Light, as well as a previously unreleased version of the southern gospel standard Thirty Pieces of Silver.
