Long Gone Daddy is an unauthorized compilation of recordings by Hank Williams III, released on April 17, 2012, through Williams' former record label Curb Records. [2] The album, distributed without Williams' approval or knowledge, is a collection of six cover songs as well as outtakes from his first two solo albums, Risin' Outlaw and Lovesick, Broke and Driftin'.
This was the second album released by Curb Records since Williams III's departure from Curb. He has come out publicly against the release, and has been instructing his fans to not purchase the album, but to bootleg and share it. He has also been vocal about a few folks he feels betrayed him as part of the Long Gone Daddy release, saying through Facebook:
I hope you Hellbilly's and Hellbetty's notice the other 2 guys I stood by when they were nothin are now Curb records alter boys! I hope ya'll dont waste your hard earned dollers on there backstabbin bs either...[sic] [3]
