Jack White: “You Know That I Know” ft. Hank Williams Lyrics

Jack White Hank WilliamsAnticipated recordings by Jack White and Bob Dylan for The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams, a new compilation of songs completed by a dozen artists from lyrics Williams left behind after his 1953 death at 29, have arrived to stream ahead of the set’s release this week. Both White and (his favorite artist to cover) Dylan honored the country legend’s words with a sound that wouldn’t be out of place among Hank’s enduring oeuvre (a spare, shuffling drumbeat, slide guitar, and twang-inflected vocal), while each cut recalls moments in their own work as well (Dylan’s Modern Times and White’s work on the Cold Mountain soundtrack, for example). Hear Dylan sing “The Love That Faded” at NPR and White channel Williams (“I was so thankful to be an antenna…”) on “You know That I Know” below.
