Hank Williams 54 Unreleased Recordings 3 CD boxed set At the peak of his career in 1951, Hank Williams recorded 143 songs for the Mothers Best Flour Company radio show. Hank sang with his regular studio band and recorded his hits as well as many songs he never recorded commercially anyw else.

In the 1970s the acetates were saved from the trash by a WSM employee and eventually given to Hank s daughter, Jett . On behalf of the estate, Jett fought an eight-year battle to establish ownership, finally winning the right to release these recordings in partnership with Time Life Music . Hank Williams The Unreleased Recordings 3 CD boxed set showcases 54 of those tracks in a collectors dream set.
