One of his best songs!
This one gets me everytime.

It's not great as a film but I thought Tom was brilliant and now support him for Bond. And you end up wanting to hear more of Hank's superb songs. Odd that his finest is not used until over the final credits.

I love Hank Williams music, but the film did very little for me and Tom Hiddleston accent was very hit-and-miss in some scenes.
I have pretty much all the studio recordings and some live stuff by Hank Williams.
I hope people have heard the live broadcasts and live concerts of Hank Williams after watching the movie.

Watching this film for the first time - it's not very good, failing to capture how huge Hank Williams was, and how good he was, but Tom Hiddleston is fantastic in it.
