The Lost Notebooks Of Hank Williams

Hank Williams died in January, 1953 at 29 years of age.  The cause of death was alcohol and morphine.  Williams was an alcoholic, and had been given morphine to deal with pain resulting from a back injury he suffered in 1951.  He took too much of both, and died in the back seat of his car while being driven to a performance.

Among the possessions found Williams' car was a notebook filled with Williams' lyrics and notes for songs he had not yet recorded.  That notebook disappeared until 2006, when it was found in a dumpster by a janitor employed by Sony/ATV Music Publishing.  After lawsuits and threats of arrest, the janitor's story was found to be true, and in 2008, Sony turned the notebooks over to Bob Dylan to complete the songs for a new album.

That album (a CD, but I hate that name) is called The Lost Notebooks Of Hank Williams and was released in October 2011.

It sucks.
