Book Reviews of Hank Williams: The Biography
Book Review: hank unvarnished
Summary: 4 Stars
this is a comprehensive and unflinching account of the life of one of our truly seminal singer/songwriters.
a very great deal of research went into this, the density of which is sometimes daunting, but always rewarding.
but the work is not a treatise, and it's as gut wrenching as it is thought provoking. i found myself thinking about the nature of destiny and the nature of enduring greatness, as embodied in the songs of this flawed and conflicted man. i read it in two days and it will stay with me in one way or another for the rest of my life. as will hank's music. 4 stars if you've never heard of hank williams, 5 if you have.
