Une biographie d'Hank Williams, écrite par Gérard Herzaft, illustrée par Solmon, accompagnée de 2 compact discs. Mort à 29 ans de whisky et de désespoir, Hank Williams fut le Shakespeare de la musique country. Ses chansons sur la solitude, la route, l'alcool, Dieu et, évidemment, les amours maudites sont devenues des classiques qu'interprètent les plus grands noms de la musique populaire.
