Iowa Radio: Lost Hank Williams Songs Being Released

Hank Williams
Previously unreleased recordings of country music legend Hank Williams performing songs on a 1950 radio show will be released next month for download and on vinyl, according to KCCI News8.

"The Garden Spot Programs, 1950" features 24 songs and jingles from a taped show that aired on early country radio stations, sponsored by a Texas plant nursery.

Most of the tapes were lost, but only the copies from one station, KSIB 1520 AM in Creston, Iowa, survived.

The recordings were transferred, restored and mastered for release May 20 by Omnivore Records.

The singer's daughter, Jett Williams, said in a written statement that no one knew these recordings existed.
