In his brief life, Hank Williams created one of the defining bodies
of American music. Songs like Your Cheatin' Heart, Hey Good Lookin'
and Jambalaya sold millions of records and became the model for
virtually all country music that followed. But by the time of his
death at age twenty-nine, Williams had drunk and drugged and
philandered his way through two messy marriages and out of his
headline spot on the Grand Ole Opry. Even though he was country
music's top seller, toward the end he was so famously unreliable
that he was lucky to get a booking in a beer hall. After his death,
Williams' records sold more than ever, and have continued to do so
in the half-century since. His oft-covered catalog has produced
hits for artists ranging from Fats Domino and John Fogerty's Blue
Ridge Rangers to Ray Charles and B.J. Thomas; from Bob Dylan and
jazz diva Norah Jones, to crooner Perry Como, R&B star Dinah
Washington, and British punk band, The The. In this definitive
account Colin Escott vividly details the singer's stunning rise and
his spectacular decline, and reveals much that was previously
unknown or hidden about the life of this country music legend. Now,
over sixty years after his death, a major motion picture starring
Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen brings Hank Williams' tragic
story to the screen. I Saw The Light first premiered at the Toronto
International Film Festival and will be distributed by Sony Picture
Classics in the UK.
