Summary: The Other Side Of The Story
Review: This book is kind of an oddity in the world of Hank Williams oriented literature. The earlier chapters (the ones about Hank Williams) are sketchy, in places, and though one senses a real affection for Mr. Williams in Lycretia's narrative, there are few new details to surprise the more than casual reader. Where this book comes to life and becomes a good read is in the second two-thirds, as the focus shifts to Audrey. Audrey has generally gotten a bad deal, both in life and in print, and this is the first book that has even attempted to humanise her. That it succeeds in doing so makes it all the more likeable, although the picture it paints of her final ten years is a bleak and depressing one, and the comment that it makes about Nashville and the music establishment deserves to be expanded to book length. Although only the most "completist" of Hank Williams collectors (or masochists) would want to hear Audrey's "greatest hits collection" (formerly available on Bear Family Records), most would do well to read this book, to get the full story of the oft-maligned "first" Mrs. Williams, and the horrible sad turn her life took.
