Product Description: " In his all-too-short six-year career, he sent three dozen songs to the top of the charts and practically invented the Nashville singer-songwriter. But the man who transformed country music died unexpectedly at the age of 29. Very few figures in the history of modern music can stand alongside Hank Williams. His meteoric career changed the landscape of country music forever, and his tragic death spawned a cottage industry of legend that obscures the truth about the backwoods troubadour to this day. HANK WILLIAMS explores the troubled times and treasured legacy of this storied singer. While his songs are revered and recorded today, his life reads like a soap opera, with a domineering mother, bouts with alcoholism and a stormy marriage. In this illuminating portrait, hear the seminal singer perform some of his most famous songs, and listen as his son, singer Hank Williams Jr., country legends Marty Stuart and Billy Walker, and friends Merle Kilgore and Don Helms remember the short-lived superstar. From Alabama to the Grand Old Opry and on into legend, this is the story of Hank Williams."
