Jett Williams was born just five days after her father, Hank Williams died at the age of 29. Her birth mother gave her up for adoption and it wasn't until the early-80's that she researched her heritage and found out her father was a country icon.
After a court battle to be accepted as one of William's true heirs, she joined forces with her brother, Hank Williams, Jr., to assemble The Complete Mother's Best Recordings, a sixteen-disc box set that contained 72 15-minute radio programs that Williams recorded for WSM in Nashville.
Jett is also a country performer in her own right with her latest being the 2017 set Mount Olive.
