There's a gritty simplicity to the songs Williams wrote and sung, mostly about love and loss Hank Williams Twang Still-Seductive
Jan 8, 6:43 PM EST
Funny how seductive a country-western twang can be, especially when it's set to music
Much of the acting in "Lost Highway" is as rudimentary as the plot
Raised in Alabama by an indomitable, Bible-thumping mother, Williams is a classic example of a blazing show-biz star who burned too bright and then crashed, but not before making his mark in records and in radio at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry
His voice wails and rails, a mixture of country and blues that electrifies the house So if that's the case, just sit back and enjoy the music A recitation of some of his biggest hits â€â€? "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You)," "Hey, Good Lookin'" and "Your Cheatin' Heart" â€â€? is bound to set you a-hummin' and a-strummin' She listens intently as her idol works his way through most of his famous repertoire One, an elderly man (Michael W The other, a perky waitress (Juliet Smith), epitomizes the mesmerizing effect Williams' music had on his fans
Fifty years after his death, Hank Williams still exerts considerable pull A lanky scarecrow, Petty galvanizes the show The irony of his early death is that he had some of his biggest hits in the months after he died, and his recordings have continued to sell well over the years Anthony, Myk Watford, Russ Wever and Drew Perkins, an amazing fiddler player Howell), serves as Williams' mentor, instructing him in the art of blues singing The superb musicians include Stephen G And so do we Williams, country superstar, is alive and well and singing sensationally in Soho
The show, put together by Randal Myler and Mark Harelik, is pretty meager in the story department, sketching in a few facts that give you only a cursory idea of what Williams' life was like when the man wasn't singing And then there's Williams' mother, played with gruff, down-home charm by Margaret Bowman Maybe it can't be
The performer's relationship with his ambitious, if not overly musical wife, Audrey, is dealt with in soap-opera fashion
And they have a direct emotional appeal that is at the heart of "Hank Williams: Lost Highway," a musical biography running at off-Broadway's Manhattan Ensemble Theater
Yet, after watching "Hank Williams: Lost Highway," Williams, the man, remains a mystery; his boozy self-destructiveness is never really explained They place two characters on the sides of the stage
Done in by his hard drinking ways, Williams died at the age of 29 of heart failure, sometime between New Year's Eve 1952 and New Year's Day 1953
Williams' backup band, the Drifting Cowboys, has been equally well realized
More satisfying is a clever conceit devised by Myler and Harelik But the musical performances are not, particularly Jason Petty's eerie, astonishing incarnation of Williams
