Listen To Jack White Sing An Unrecorded Hank Williams Song

Jack White channels Hank Williams’ twang in this wonderful version of an unrecorded song from the master’s lost notebooks.

When Hank died at 29 he left behind a notebook of unrecorded songs. A new project has modern artists doing their versions of those songs, and the line up includes Bob Dylan and Sheryl Crow. The line-up isn't hugely inspiring, honestly, but Jack White has tackled a song and it's pretty great. White brings his own voice to Hank's style, and the backing steel guitar is just gorgeous. What's cool is that this is so identifiably a Hank Williams song, and White does it serious justice.

You can listen to the song here at Rolling Stone.
