"In the concluding volume of his psychological biography of Hank Williams, author Paul R. Nail, Ph.D., puts readers inside the famous country singer's mind, as Hank navigates the tormented 'lost highway' of his final two years.
"From the heady heights of his skyrocketing career at the beginning of 1951, to the depths of his tragic demise in the back seat of his chauffeur-driven Cadillac in the early morning hours of New Year's Day 1953, this extensively researched and highly insightful final book of a three-volume biography is a seismic addition to the study of Hank Williams's short life that ended at age 29.
"I highly recommend it to everyone fascinated by the Hillbilly Shakespeare."
