I found this article about the Jack White/Bob Dylan Hank Williams project. “MIGHT” come out this year
Lucinda has recorded a song on the album.http://www.clashmusic.com/news/jack-white-on-bob-dylan-project
I found another article about this project invariably leading me to an archived article about the death of Hank Williams.

I hope so too. Mermaid Avenue is a classic.
That photo of Hank is pretty creepy in that newspaper article. Doesn’t even look like him.@ParkerCA wrote:

Hank rarely was photographed without his hat. Wasn’t good for the image.
After reading about his wife, it’s no wonder he was nearly bald by his mid 20s.
Holly Williams just tweeted following. Looks like project will pass “Go”

Doing interviews for the new unreleased songs of my grandpa! Dylan headed the project, I can’t wait for the release!! Hear me in September along with Jack White, Vince Gill and many others!!!!It looks like it’s finally coming out -Lu just got some press requests for it. Hard to believe how long this has taken and how long ago this was recorded.
That’s because it has been made that long. Lucinda recorded her track not long after the West recording sessions- which would have been late summer 2006.
Another interesting tweet from Holly. Looks like things are really ramping up ~ “Great day at hall of fame getting ready for Hank lost songs release. Norah Jones did an incredible job, among others!”
FINALLY! October 4th.

The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams, a new collection of previously unheard songs by the country great recorded by artists such as Bob Dylan, Jack White, Norah Jones and Levon Helm, will be released on October 4th. The set, which will be issued on Dylan’s imprint Egyptian Records, was originally conceived by veteran A&R executive Mary Martin as a Dylan-centric project, but eventually evolved into a multi-artist tribute to the late singer-songwriter.The songs featured in the set were rescued from notebooks left behind in a leather briefcase by Williams after he died in 1953 at the age of 29. The notes contained lyrics and song ideas that were finished by the 13 artists who contributed to the disc. The full story of Williams’ notebooks will be told in the album’s liner notes, which were penned by Michael McCall of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
The full tracklisting for The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams is as follows:
Alan Jackson “You’ve Been Lonesome, Too”
Bob Dylan “The Love That Faded”
Norah Jones “How Many Times Have You Broken My Heart?”
Jack White “You Know That I Know”
Lucinda Williams “I’m So Happy I Found You”
Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell “I Hope You Shed a Million Tears”
Patty Loveless “You’re Through Fooling Me”
Levon Helm “You’ll Never Again Be Mine”
Holly Williams “Blue Is My Heart”
Jakob Dylan “Oh, Mama, Come Home”
Sheryl Crow “Angel Mine”
Merle Haggard “The Sermon on the Mount”lwj
