Hank Williams: Snapshots from the Lost Highway

Hank Williams: Snapshots from the Lost Highway

by Marty Stuart (Introduction), Colin Escott (Author), KiraFlorita (Author)

Synopsis

He was 29 years old and had recorded just 80 sessions when he died on New Year's Day 1953. Yet those songs - Hey Good Lookin', Your Cheatin' Heart, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry moulded American music into a new art form, and created descendants that range from Garth Brooks to Beck. But for all that his music reveals, we know little of the man himself. His formal interviews barely filled a page, and even those who claimed him as a friend admit they barely knew him.
