Liner notes are provided by Michael McCall from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, who notes:
| “The history of Hank’s notebooks is as complex as the legend himself. Yet, in the end, what matters most are the songs, and these new works rise from the ether with ghostly relevance. As with his many standards, these new recordings tap straight into the soul of man. This is songwriting at its most artful and most powerful.” |
