At the peak of his popularity in the late '50s, Hank recorded a series of cuts for the World Transcription Service--songs that were broadcast on radio but have never been commercially available, until now. In cooperation with Hank himself, we've handpicked the true rarities from this unique archive. This set contains alternate, unissued takes of signature numbers like "Rub-A-Dub-Dub" and "Humpty Dumpty Heart" along with a slew of Hank tunes that he never recorded commercially.

Hear Hank like he's never been heard before, demonstrating a stylistic range from pure honky-tonk to cowboy jazz and swing. And with Hank contributing to the liner notes and offering rare photos from his personal archive, this is truly a one-of-a-kind package.

"Thompson's self-penned tunes are reliably ingenuously corny, his voice sports a pleasant twang, and his Brazos Valley Boys cover the distance between West Texas Swing and Nashville with the stylish easy power of a '54 El Dorado with steer horns on the grille." Jim Musser, Iowa City Weekly

"Here it's evident that Thompson's very much the silver-tongued crooner rolling line after well-crafted line from his deep saddlebag of originals that often take lyrical twists and turns." Dirty Linen

"A must-have for the serious collector, a hoot for the newcomer. Give a listen to this and don't skip the liner notes
--Hank is a living legend." Vice Magazine
