Jennifer Brantley releasing uncut, unrecorded Hank Williams, Sr. and Glenn Douglas Tubb co-written song titled “Heartbroken, Forsaken and Alone

Jennifer Brantley is digitally releasing an uncut, unrecorded Hank Williams, Sr. and Glenn Douglas Tubb co-written song titled “Heartbroken, Forsaken and Alone,” before releasing her new EP CD, The Little Things.

The story behind the song began when Glenn was approached in 1958 by Hank’s first wife, Audrey, who told him that she had found some old lyrics of Hanks that he never finished writing.  She asked Glenn, who was a big fan of Hanks, to finish writing the lyrics and to come up with a Hank Williams’ style melody for the song.  Although Glenn was young at the time, he had already written songs for Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Ernest Tubb, Hawkshaw Hawkins, and others.  George Jones had just taken two of Glenn’s songs to record.  But the main reasons Audrey chose Glenn were because she knew that Glenn sang a lot of Hank’s songs on his personal appearances and that he would probably come closer to finishing the song as Hank would have wanted.  Glenn waited until he had written more songs for Johnny Cash, George Jones, Bob Dylan, Tammy Wynette, Tennessee Ernie and many others before he attempted to finish writing the song Hank had started.  In 1974, he was living in Tucson, Arizona, when he completed the song and mailed it to Acuff-Rose, Hank’s publisher.  He sent them a copy of the original Hank Williams lyrics along with a demo of the song.  They had the handwriting checked by a hand writing expert, who concluded that it was indeed Hank William’s handwriting.  In June of 1974, Fred Rose Music issued a publishing contract on the song, showing the writers as Hank Williams and Glenn D. Tubb.   Before Glenn moved back to Nashville, Audrey died in November of 1975.  He doesn’t know if Audrey ever heard the finished product.  After Glenn returned to Nashville, he went to Acuff-Rose and had a meeting about the song.  Because of some disagreements, the song was essentially buried until now.

The harmonies are pure silver, polished to a high sheen. And, as easily as silver conducts electricity, their music has electrified audiences around the world. Legendary country music group, Restless Heart, is celebrating over 25 years of perfecting the art of entertaining.

Restless Heart came together in late 1983 as the by-product of a project by famed writer/producer Tim Dubois. He soon brought to the team fellow Oklahoman Scott Hendricks to co-produce and engineer the recording project which quickly lead to a record deal. Restless Heart signed a recording contract with RCA Records in 1984.

With the release of their first album in 1985, the vocal style of Restless Heart became instantly identifiable - an intertwining five part harmony led by Larry Stewart, with Dave Innis on keyboards, Greg Jennings on lead guitar, Paul Gregg on bass and drummer, John Dittrich. They brought a new, contemporary sound to Nashville, a sound with a touch of pop - the sound which so strongly influences popular country acts of today like Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and Little Big Town.

Gold became the standard for the group with the release of their self-titled album. Three more gold albums followed between 1986 and 1991. With an additional six albums released through the years, Restless Heart put 26 hits on the country charts with six #1 hits and nine others in the Top Ten. Cross-over success, rare in the music world, was also theirs with six songs making the adult contemporary charts, including taking the #1, #2 and #3 spots.

Having grown and endured challenges through the years, after a brief hiatus, the spark was re-ignited, bringing all 5 original members together again in the new millennium, putting Restless Heart back on the road. Their first real gig as a reunited group was the 2002 Operation Season’s Greetings Tour, an overseas military entertainment tour with the Air Force. They haven’t stopped touring since, averaging more than 100 shows per year, including an around-the-world military tour in 2007.

Today, driven by the musical force which brought them together over 25 years ago and tempered by experience, Restless Heart continues to thrill old and new fans by doing what they do best- appreciating their audiences and having a good time making great music!
