Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Like 1999's tribute to Gram Parsons, Timeless: The Songs of Hank Williams revives the tired "tribute" concept and applies it in homage to a key figure in country music. Interpreting songs from across Hank Williams's short and troubled career, a range of high-profile artists use different approaches with equally gratifying results. Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow and Hank Williams III play familiar songs with traditional arrangements (Ms Crow's yodel is an eye opener); Beck, Mark Knopfler and Keb' Mo' stay closer to their own idioms. Keith Richards' reedy vocal makes "You Win Again" all his own and Bob Dylan, who has only rarely lent his services to these sorts of projects, leads his touring band through a blues shuffle on "I Can't Get You Off of My Mind". The estimable Lost Highway label has assembled an illustrious cast to sing the praises of the artist who inspired its name, and in doing so it has created a far better testament to its musical mindset than can ever be captured in the term "Americana". --Rob Stewart
Chronique amazon.fr
C'est vrai que ces chansons n'ont pas d'âge. C'est là le privilège de quelques-unes. Lorsque Hank Williams composait des plages comme "Cold, Cold Heart" ou "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", il ne savait pas qu'il faisait œuvre historique. Il se contentait d'écrire sa vie. De livrer au monde son intimité la plus profonde. Que quelques-unes de ses confidences aient traversé les années et se retrouvent chantées plus d'un demi-siècle plus tard par un bataillon d'interprètes plus ou moins légitimes témoigne cependant de l'éternité de son testament. Timeless, c'est bien le mot, contient ainsi plusieurs plages essentielles, et des héritiers tout à fait naturels. On citera bien sûr, même si elle n'a aucun lien de parenté, Lucinda Williams en tête, avec sa version à pleurer de "Cold Cold Heart". Il faut aussi souligner les reprises bruissant de sincérité de "I Can't Get You Off Of My Mind" par Bob Dylan. Sans doute révélé ici comme l'un des témoins les plus actuels de l'art de Hank Williams, le père de la country en même temps que son plus intense chanteur compositeur. Timeless contient donc la jeune sève (Ryan Adams ou Beck) avec les plus anciens, (Tom Petty) et tous célèbrent la même force d'écriture qui fut celle du grand Hank. Une jolie réussite en forme d'hommage. --José Ruiz

oh please understand,
By Bert Krus (Arnhem, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Timeless (Audio CD)
I never heard 1 single song by Hank Williams. I came across this CD just by browsing the musics shop country collection. I took a listen and skipped the first song by Bob Dylan, sorry but i dont like his voice.. Then came Sheryl Crow yodeling! Wow! So fresh and I loved the lyric..like a tragicomedy. Keb Mo is great blues. Beck...so sweet, a wonderful production...do I hear several old records mixed with todays music? Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris sing a perfect country duet...not campy or over the top but quiet and touching. Tom Petty then gives away a rocker that is so country it makes u wanna drive on a highway forever! Keith Richards then does a huge blues track, a highlight on this record. Emmylou again with Mark, very tragic song that makes me shiver. Hank III, what a punk, this guy just has it. Ryan Adams sounds like we all want to be sung too...so sensitive. Lucinda Williams...almost too much pain...the song makes me angry to the person it is addressed to. Finally Johnny Cash makes me cry over the memories about his mother. This CD is a work of art, believe me.

Troubadours,

This review is from: Timeless (Audio CD)
Sure, most tribute albums are irregular and so is this one but it is a great listen! I think it rates with; The Pilgrim- A Celebration of Kris Kristofferson, Avalon Blues- A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt and Return of the Grievous Angel- A Tribute to Gram Parsons.I think it would be an insult to have people like Toby Keith on this CD and as for Hank Williams Jr. he just can't sing! Hank III is the real thing, I just wish he would produce more albums like his; Lovesick, Broke & Driftin'. I believe the Stones' music died long ago but Keith Richards did an honorable job and although I always found Keb' Mo' a bit plain, he sure sounds inspired here. I think the standout tracks are; Long Gone Lonesome Blues, Lost on the River and Cold, Cold Heart. The only problem I have with this CD is that it leaves me wanting more, more, more, it's just too short? Anyone who is a fan of the troubadour Hiram Hank Williams, needs this CD. Hank and Georgiana, Alabama would be proud!!!

Apart from Dylan and Cash, not much of a tribute,
By A Customer
This review is from: Timeless (Audio CD)
How hard it must be to cover Hank. Well, it shouldn't be. Dylan is good. Cash is classic. Some others are ok. Not very impressed, though, with the package as a whole.
