Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues
Hank Williams was a recording artist for just six years and a star for just four years. Riveting and charismatic some nights, a broken down drunk on others, he accomplished so much despite trying to destroy himself. He has long been an enigma, and an icon, whose hits define country music. From Your Cheatin' Heart to I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry to Hey Good Lookin', these "hillbilly" melodies seeped out of the rural juke joints and into the nation's consciousness. Even those who claim to have known Williams will admit that, on some level, they really didn't. With rare performance tapes, home movies and interviews with family, other musicians and musicologists, this film will reach beyond the impenetrable myth that has grown up around, and obscured, the real Hank Williams.
