About this title

Review:

""An impressive book....Probably the definitive word on Williams's life....Escott mixes careful reporting, a sympathetic viewpoint, and wry and occasionally cutting humor in a blend that makes for fast and interesting reading."

From Publishers Weekly:

Escott traces the triumphant and tragic career of the legendary country star, who died at 29 from a drug overdose.
