Hank Williams: The Lost Highway; Capturing The Williams Persona

From the Louisville Scene:
"If a single line in Actors Theatre of Louisville's current production of "Hank Williams: Lost Highway" sums up the title character, it's the one in which Williams says that when a hillbilly sings crazy, he feels crazy, and when he sings about his mother, he can see her lying there.

That was the very quality that separated Williams from most country singers who came before him, as well as from most who have emerged since his death in 1952: Williams sang with total conviction, whether the song was about fun on the bayou or the lovesick blues. ..."
