Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues (2005x3)

Uitzenddatum: Feb 05, 2005

From Elvis to Norah Jones, Hank Williams's songs have been recorded more often than those of any other country music writer. Dirt-poor and rail-thin, he blazed out of Alabama in the late 1940s with the fervour of a man whose days were numbered. By 25 he was country's first superstar - but four years later he was gone; an icon yet an enigma even to those who thought they knew him best. With family and friends, Arena examines the real Hank Williams.
