Description:

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Solo performer: Hank Williams (vocals, acoustic guitar).
Compilation producers: Colin Escott, Kira Florita.
Recorded between 1949 & August 1952. Includes liner notes by William Gay and Colin Escott.
A revelatory collection of songwriting demos and rare early solo radio appearances, most of which had never appeared in un-dubbed form until 1998`s complete Williams box set. Highlights include an early take on "Honky Tonk Blues," with an extra verse that didn`t make it onto the hit studio version, an eerie cover of the Sons of the Pioneers` "Cool Water" (one of the few cowboy songs Williams ever recorded), and a run-through of "Kaw-Liga," with several false starts and some studio chatter. Bonuses on the enhanced portion of the CD include a screensaver, a link to the official Williams website, some brief audio clips of Williams and his ex-wife Audrey, plus lyrics and photos.
