Movie Reviews of Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues
Movie Review: hank williams honky tonk blues
Summary: 4 Stars
It was good to compare the real life Hank Williams to that on film and
from previous stories. To see actual footage and music by this enigmatic
real life person is of great encouragement.
The quality of DVD was very good.
Summary of Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues
Honky Tonk Blues is an expanded director's cut of an American Masters television special about Hank Williams, and every minute of it illuminates Williams's importance as a seminal artist and American archetype. Produced with an understated fascination for the country legend's gifts and demons that shortened his career, played havoc with his marriages, and led to a haunting death at 29, Honky Tonk Blues builds a seamless profile from rare footage and rich interviews with (among others) Rick Bragg, Big Bill Lister (Williams's longtime opening act), Hank Williams Jr., and members of Williams's backup band, the Drifting Cowboys. Williams's story, including his mentorship in the blues by Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne, childhood loneliness, and emergence as a whole-cloth singer-songwriter "who taught people it's okay to bear your soul in everyday language," is thoroughly compelling and resonates with many American originals (e.g., Kurt Cobain) who followed him. An outstanding documentary. --Tom KeoghMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
