Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Store

From the critically acclaimed Unreleased Recordings come the songs that Hank Williams, born Hiram Williams in Mount Olive, Alabama, wanted to play and sing when he was with his people. The songs on The Unreleased Recordings: Gospel Keepsakes capture the country music legend at his most inspired. Commercial pressures meant that Williams 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, gathered here for this very special Hank Williams treasure. The Unreleased Recordings: Gospel Keepsakes includes a never-before-released version of Williams’s classic “I Saw the Light,” as well as a previously unreleased version of the southern gospel standard “Thirty Pieces of Silver.”
