DESCRIPTION:
Does NOT disappoint. LOVE Hank Williams music not only for the deep feeling but also for the intricate lyrics. No one like him!. The Original and Still the Best Biography of Hank Williams I've read HANK WILLIAMS:THE BIOGRAPHY and SING A SAD SONG numerous times and I like this one the best. It's sentimental and loving in tone. The former is more sensationalized and antiseptic. Having visited Georgiana, Alabama, a town frozen in time, this book starts right there on the little railroad platform where Hank shined his shoes as a youngster. THE BIOGRAPHY aspires to more detail, but you can only get so many facts within a given number of pages, and so THE BIOGRAPHY isn't really more detailed.Both books omit my favorite anecdote, which is related by Hank's steel guitar player, Don Helms: Playing at any outdoor ven. "The Life of Hank Williams" according to J. Dean Burkett. This is the first book ever written that actually told the true life story of country music singer Hank Williams. Roger Williams interviewed country music performers who either worked for Hank or shared the stage with him. There are inside looks at Hank's problems and his relationships with his family and fellow performers. Hank's career was short. He died two months after his 29th birthday. However, in his short life he became a legend and fifty years after his death his music is still going strong. I recommend that every country music fan buy this book.
