Howell), serves as Williams' mentor, instructing him in the art of blues singing
Done in by demon run (more likely hard liquor), Williams died at the age of 29, sometime between New Year's Eve 1952 and New Year's Day 1953
More satisfying is a clever conceit devised by Myler and Harelik
Yet, after watching "Hank Williams: Lost Highway," Williams, the man, remains a mystery; his boozy self-destructiveness is never really explained And then there's Williams' mother, played with gruff, down-home charm by Margaret Bowman
There's a gritty simplicity to the songs Williams wrote and sung, mostly about love and loss And so do we
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 So if that's the case, just sit back and enjoy the music The superb musicians include Stephen G She listens intently as her idol works his way through most of his famous repertoire A lanky scarecrow, Petty galvanizes the show
Much of the acting in "Lost Highway" is as rudimentary as the plot But the musical performances are not, particularly Jason Petty's eerie, astonishing incarnation of Williams Maybe it can't be
Williams' backup band, the Drifting Cowboys, has been equally well realized
Fifty years after his death, Hank Williams still exerts considerable pull
The performer's relationship with his ambitious, if not overly musical wife, Audrey, is dealt with in soap-opera fashion Anthony, Myk Watford, Russ Wever and Drew Perkins, an amazing fiddler player
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 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
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
Hank Williams Twang Still-Seductive
Jan 8, 4:59 PM EST
Funny how seductive a country-western twang can be, especially when it's set to music They place two characters on the sides of the stage 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' The other, a perky waitress (Juliet Smith), epitomizes the mesmerizing effect Williams' music had on his fans His voice wails and rails, a mixture of country and blues that electrifies the house One, an elderly man (Michael W Williams, country superstar, is alive and well and singing sensationally in Soho
