Now available on Blu Ray and DVD, The Last Ride is based on the controversial life of Hank Williams Sr., country music’s original bad boy. Williams passed away 60 years ago at the age of 29 after enjoying 11 number one hits.
Former President Bill Clinton has said of The Last Ride that it “takes us back to rural America in the 1950’s, tells the story simply, and uses the music deftly, both to intensify the drama and to remind us of the timeless genius of Hank Williams.” Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee added “it’s a beautifully crafted and created vehicle for telling the story of almost every gifted musician or actor who must reconcile the desire within to simply be a great artist and the demands of the public to be an accessible and accommodating celebrity.”
The film runs 114 minutes and is rated PG-13.
