Unsanctioned albums

After Williams left the label, Curb Records decided to release old materials but advertising those albums as new releases. Williams, who never authorized these albums, rejected their validity.

Hillbilly Joker

Released May 17, 2011 on the sublabel Sidewalk Records.

Basically it's the album This Ain't Country,[2] recorded in 2001 but rejected by the label. Two missing tracks ("Hang On" and "Runnin' and Gunnin'") were not included here but on the third collection.
