About the Book

"É preciso ter cheirado muito estrume de mula para poder cantar como um saloio." - Hank Williams

Muita tinta tem sido derramada sobre as vidas das figuras mais influentes da história, mas quanto da floresta se perde para as árvores? Na série American Legends da Charles River Editors, os leitores podem ficar a par da vida dos homens e mulheres mais importantes da América no tempo que demora a terminar um trajeto, enquanto aprendem factos interessantes há muito esquecidos ou nunca conhecidos.

Um dos cantores e compositores mais duradouros e consistentemente populares da história da música country, Hank Williams é considerado por muitos como a primeira estrela americana do género e o "pai" da música country moderna. Na era pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial, numa altura em que a música country era uma indústria caseira isolada e regionalizada, Williams supervisionou quase pessoalmente a sua transição para uma mania nacional que seria mais tarde retomada por figuras como Johnny Cash e Elvis Presley, mesmo quando os músicos se mantiveram fiéis às raízes rurais mais antigas do género. Mas, ao contrário da vaga de grandes nomes que se seguiram à sua breve mas estelar carreira, Williams manteve-se distinta e inequivocamente sulista, evitando assim ser adotado pelo mundo pop mais vasto, mesmo quando o seu notável sentido de fraseado e os seus textos autênticos fascinavam os artistas pop de todo o país. Entre os seus êxitos mais duradouros estão "Cold, Cold Heart", "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Hey, Good-Lookin'", "I'll Never Get Out of This Life Alive", "Lost Highway" e o seu êxito de assinatura, "Lovesick Blues".

No seu apogeu, no final dos anos 40 e início dos anos 50, Nashville tinha começado a livrar-se da sua imagem de campónia e a orientar-se para se tornar uma indústria mais universal e comercializada, acolhendo artistas de outros estilos. Se Williams tivesse vivido, não se sabe se ele poderia ou teria se adaptado totalmente à transformação iniciada pela capital da música country. No entanto, o homem apelidado de "o Shakespeare caipira", "Harm" (porque seu primeiro nome era Hiram) e "Herky" ou "Skeets" por seus amigos, alcançou o grande público nacional de uma forma que ninguém havia alcançado antes e, como ele mesmo disse uma vez: "Não sei o que vocês querem dizer com música country. Apenas faço música da maneira que sei". A atração de Williams estendeu-se para além da famosa família Carter, cujos membros preservaram a tradição do "hill country", tanto em termos musicais como de apresentação, e foi comparado a artistas do início da era, como Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills e Bill Monroe, mas poucos outros dessa era conseguiram igualar a sua distinção e o seu dom natural para a composição de canções.

Lendas Americanas: A vida de Hank Williams examina a vida e a carreira de uma das mais famosas estrelas da música country americana. Juntamente com imagens de pessoas, lugares e eventos importantes, aprenderá sobre Hank Williams como nunca antes, num instante.
