Williams was to country music what Elvis Presley was to rock 'n' roll. Interest in Williams is unflagging, and myths and tall tales about his life and death continue to grow with every passing year. This close look at Williams moves beyond other books by providing new research, evaluations, and interviews with friends, family, and band members. Although the fascinating trail of Williams's career has been a favorite subject for biographers, Hank Williams, So Lonesome winnows away the myths and hearsay while recounting this Alabama boy's blazing rise to stardom. Of the many biographies this one comes closest to being truly accurate. This new assessment analyzes the Williams legacy by reviewing both the printed and recorded music and by thorough exploration of the Williams bibliography and discography. With his legend already firmly established, he was only twenty-nine when he died on New Year's Day 1953 (or, perhaps, New Year's Eve 1952) in the back seat of his baby-blue Cadillac on the way to a concert in Canton, Ohio.

James E. Composed of captions by the authors and excerpts of interviews with Williams and his family and friends, the text is somewhat sparse but to the point and well written. From Library Journal Although he never made it to 30 and died nearly a half-century ago, singer/songwriter Hank Williams continues to exert tremendous influence on all spheres of popular music.

Perone, Mount Union Coll., Alliance, OH Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc. That iconography forms the basis of Hank Williams: Snapshots from the Lost Highway, an appealing coffee-table book that is being cross-promoted with the tribute album, Timeless. In addition, the Escott and Florita volume lacks a bibliography
FinallyThe Truth About Hank Williams Hank Williams said very little about his life outside of his haunting lyrics. Since he left so few interviews behind, there were plenty of people who were willing to fill in the gaps with their own self-serving myths. Bill Koon slices through all of these myths to find the truth of Hank Williams' life. Hank has been portrayed as a saint and a sinner, but Koon shows that Williams was somewhere in between. Overall, he was a troubled man with natural talent, and this well-written book clearly shows that. Hank Williams, So Lonesome, is a triumph, and Bill Koon should be ap. An unbiased book on Hank One of the better books I've read on Hank Williams. The author goes at it with an unbiased approach relying on his research to tell the story. It is not sensationalized nor taking away from Hank's talent. Objective is the word I would use to describe the book. Well worth reading.. "The more you read this book the better it gets" according to John K.. The more you read of this book the better it gets. It starts out pretty slow, the biography is pretty standard stuff but the second part of the book is a real scholarly analysis of Hank's life and career.
