Like 1999's tribute to Gram Parsons, Return of the Grievous Angel, this successful collection revives the tired "tribute" concept and applies it in homage to a key figure in country music. Interpreting songs from across Hank Williams's short and troubled career, a range of high-profile artists use different approaches with equally gratifying results. Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, and Hank Williams III play familiar songs with traditional arrangements (Ms. Crow's yodel is an eye opener); Beck, Mark Knopfler, and Keb' Mo' stay closer to their own idioms. Keith Richards's reedy vocal makes "You Win Again" all his own, and Bob Dylan, who has only rarely lent his services to these sorts of projects, leads his touring band through a blues shuffle on "I Can't Get You Off of My Mind." The estimable Lost Highway label has assembled an illustrious cast to sing the praises of the artist who inspired its name, and in doing so it has created a far better testament to its musical mindset than can ever be captured in the term Americana.

As well as being the greatest and most influential Country music artist of his generation, the late Hank Williams was a peerless songwriter whose music and lyrics continue to be heard around the world some 65 years after his premature passing at the age of just 29. Prolific in a way few have been before or since. It's hard to know just how many more songs would have become country and pop standards had his life not been so short. In a recording career that barely spanned 8 years Hank wrote well over a hundred songs. Virtually all of them are now considered classics, and virtually all of them have been revived many times over by other Country artists. Hank's songs, and some songs he did not write but that are closely associated with him, have also made significant inroads into the pop, rock n' roll and R&B markets, particularly between the early 1950s and early 1960s when it frequently seemed like a badge of honour for any artists to cover a Williams copyright. This set offers, for the first time on CD, a varied and enjoyable selection of non-Country covers of Hanks songs from a collection of names that in themselves read like a mini-history of popular music. You'll know most of those all-star names even if you don't yet know their versions of these songs, several of which are making their digital debut here in this Jasmine collection.

Culled from the same European tour dates as Abnormal and The Highway Kind, this set of minimal live performances features a number of true Van Zandt classics, including "Snowin' on Raton," "To Live's to Fly," "Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold," and "You Are Not Needed Now." The man's in fairly decent voice, too, given how many of his later recordings betrayed the ravages of his hard-scrabble life. But even with his voice on his side, Van Zandt sounds as if he's trying to fend off death with a joke and a song – and not necessarily succeeding. Though hardly the place for neophytes to begin, In Pain is a fitting and aptly named epitaph for this beloved singer/songwriter.

Multi-platinum-selling country music star Josh Turner invites fans to join him in scaling what the charismatic performer likes to call his “Mount Rushmore of Country Music” on his outstanding new studio album Country State of Mind.
The 12-song collection finds Turner in an enlightened “country state of mind” as he pays homage to a cross-section of classic country music icons, including five legends who have long held a firm place in his musical journey: Randy Travis, John Anderson, Johnny Cash, Vern Gosdin, and Hank Williams,The album showcases Turner as a disciple of country music history, with the album spanning more than half a century of classic country music, encompassing both well-known standards and deep-catalog cuts, many of which hold deep personal meaning. Turner also invited other stellar country voices — some heroes, some contemporaries — to join him in the studio as he crafted his celebration of classic country.
