The project has been in the works for some time -- Jackson says he recorded his song last year -- and it might be released this fall. The partial lyrics had been in a box, and known as the Shoebox Songs. They belonged to Hank's mother, who gave them to Acuff-Rose Music Publishers when her son died. The publishing entity, now owned by Sony Music, held on to them for over 50 years without doing anything with them. Finally someone came up with the idea to get Dylan, an admitted Hank Sr. fan, to work on the songs and shape them into an album. Dylan promptly began farming out the song snipets to folks he thought would do them justice, including Jackson, Willie Nelson, rocker Jack White, Lucinda Williams and pop singer Norah Jones.
