4.0 out of 5 stars Jason Petty Does Hank Proud, September 22, 2004

This review is from: Hank Williams: Lost Highway [Original Cast Recording] (Audio CD)

Hank Williams: Lost Highway is a songbook musical biography of the usual type and one's love of the original performer's music will often dictate one's enjoyment of the CD (although the actual theatrical production can have thrills of its own). What separates this particular CD from many of its brothers and sisters is the quality of the musicians and, most outstandly, Jason Petty in the pivotal role of Hank Williams. It is an imitation of sorts as the role demands but it done with such skill, warmth, and acting chops as to be an unique listening experience in its own right. The CD perfectly captures the strengths of Hank Williams and that is a very good thing.

Must make mention of Michael W. Howell who has what it takes to put a song over, you really notice when he's on a track ~ great harmony on the reprise of "I SAW THE LIGHT"...gotta love it!
