Having hit the heights with simple songs of despair, depression, and tainted love, he would, with that outlaw swagger, become in death a template for the rock generation to follow. Six decades later, Mark Ribowsky now weaves together the first fully realized biography of Hank Williams in a generation. Examining his music while also re-creating days and nights choked in booze and desperation, Ribowsky traces the miraculous rise of this music legend?from the dirt roads of rural Alabama to the now-immortal stage of the Grand Ole Opry, and finally to a sad, lonely end on New Year's Day, 1953. The result is an original work that promises to uncover the real Hank beneath the myths that have long enshrouded his legacy. 517 $aHank 676 $a782.421642092 700 $aRibowsky$b Mark$01160413 702 $aPerkins$b Tom$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910149749403321 996 $aHank : The Short Life and Long Country Road of Hank Williams$93594666 997 $aUNINA
