"I'll never get out of this world alive" was the last single to Hank Williams published. Soon after he was dead at age 29, drug addicted, alcoholic, gone to sleep after a concert in the back seat of a car and never woke up.
Since then, he was already a living legend, a prodigy of the country, become still legendary, and this certainly contributed also to make his son Hank Williams, Jr. took up the legacy of his father (also if the critics in their opinion of him are positive less), and his grandson, Hank Williams III, born 1972, as a tattooed punk's legacy in honor of his grandfather holds.
the early nineties, before was the comeback of Johnny Cash classic country music again "cool", turned Wolfgang Büld ("Punk in London", "Burning boredom") and Olaf Kraemer this documentary about Hank Williams drove in the U.S. followed in his footsteps, interviewed companions, colleagues and family members tried to Williams' music to the pictures produced from the southern United States, the mood captured, which was this object.
was released in 1993 the 85-minute film, has since been in oblivion is the first time on DVD, and who had discovered the face of the cash Films are interested in this aspect of the U.S. music history, should now must get this DVD.
Today it would not be possible to turn such a document, too many interviewees have died since then, and remains for the film to remember is critical that the image quality is not always today's standards and has got many a setting a bit too long.
It is positive that plenty of music by Williams can be heard, and instead talked about translations, there are subtitles. In the extra part is found among others an interview with the filmmakers.
