Speaking of Music: Stories & Songs of Hank Williams

Move It On Over: Stories and Songs of Hank Williams
On New Year's Eve, 1952, despite his fragile health, 29 year-old Hank Williams took off on an ill-planned overnight journey from Alabama to Ohio to save his flailing career. He did not survive. In "Move It On Over", music historian/folksinger/story-teller Joel Underwood brings the same energy KCPT audiences remember from his Woody Guthrie performance back to our stage, weaving the events of that mysterious, still-controversial night with Williams' early life. Throughout the ride, we sing along with favorites including "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Hey Good Lookin'", and "So Lonesome I Could Cry". Sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, Underwood and his guitar showcase the story of one of America's most important musical voices.
