Rolling Stone reports that Alan Jackson, Lucinda Williams, and Jack White of the White Stripes, are all contributing to an album being organized by Bob Dylan. More artists are expected to get involved in the project, which began several years ago when Acuff-Rose, Hank Williams’ music publisher, approached Dylan with a briefcase of 35 unrecorded songs, including “How Do You Still a Beating Heart,” believed to be the last lyric Hank ever wrote. The album is expected to be released within “the next year or two” on Bob Dylan’s Egyptian Records.
