Customer Reviews of In the Hank Williams Tradition
A must have To gain a proper understanding of Hank's influence on country music, this is a must have video. Hosted by Dwight Yoakam, this documentary gives an inside glimpse into Hank's personal life and his last days. Of particular interest are the Minnie Pearl and Roy Acuff interviews as both knew Hank personally. The Hank, Jr. interruption of "Hey, Good Lookin'" was a bit distracting, but all in all it is a good video featuring a who's who of country music including Ricky Skaggs, Dwight Yoakam, Randy Travis, Chet Atkins, Hank, Jr., Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson & others.
A fun film to watch, but more scenes of Hank, please!
I expected this tape to have several "videos" of Hank Williams performing, based on the box's listing of songs performed. I was disappointed, however, to find only one actual performance, and that was cut into by Hank, Jr., describing how his father danced. I'm sure there's not a lot of film or kinescope of Hank actually playing, but I imagined there would be more than this one clip. The three or four other songs listed as being performed by Hank are just audio performances, with still pictures, a la Ken Burns. The rest of the video consists of various stars of country music (Hank, Jr., Randy Travis, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, Minnie Pearl, Dwight Yoakam, Emmylou Harris, Roy Acuff, Kris Kristofferson) reminiscing about Hank and singing his songs. The performances are excellent, and the interviews, especially with Roy Acuff and Minnie Pearl, are very revealing. All in all, I liked the video quite a bit; it's probably more essential to fans of Hank than the "Show He Never Gave" video is. I just wish we could see more of Hank performing. END
