White teams up with Dylan for Williams' works

The White Stripes rocker Jack White has teamed up with Bob Dylan to complete a series of "unfinished" Hank Williams songs.

The 'Seven Nation Army' star is one of a selection of musicians asked by Dylan to work on completing the "lost" songs - some of the final tunes and lyrics written by the late legend.

White recorded the unfinished Williams song 'You Know That I Know' at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennessee with engineer Joe Chiccarelli.

Dominic Suchtya, the bassist who guested on the White tracks, says: "Dylan had contacted him (White) to see if he'd like to finish some of these tunes.

No one has heard it as it was a Hank Williams lyric sheet that Jack put to music and edited a bit. Jack was sent most of or all of the unfinished tunes and picked this one to finish.

"We listened to quite a bit of Hank while I was down there and sat around, the two of us playing our favourite Hank tunes, but the song was done when I got there. I think Jack just ingested a bunch of Hank Williams and this is what came out of him."

Country star Williams died in 1953 from a reported drug overdose. He was 29.
