WILLIAMS, Hank
Gospel Keepsake - The Unreleased Recordings

(2009/TIMELIFE) 15 tracks; Commercial pressures mean that Willimas rarely recorded gospel music for his releases; however, when he made these recordings for the Mother's 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.'
