Jack White talks about Hank Williams album

It was back in November when we first reported news of a Bob Dylan orchestrated Hank Williams album. The record is said to consist of unheard Hank Williams lyrics that are being put to music by a slue of different artists. The only confirmed parties involved at the time were Jack White and the head honcho himself, Robert Zimmerman. To our delight, the former has finally spoken out about his work on the project.
