"The Last Ride," the feature film that chronicles the final days of the great Hank Williams, was released on Blu-ray and DVD on Tuesday, June 4th. The movie, from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, features actors such as Henry Thomas (E.T.), Jesse James, Kaley Cuoco ("The Big Bang Theory"), Fred Dalton Thompson ("Law & Order"), and Stephen Tobolowsky ("Californication").
The film has already garnered rave reviews: "Just watched 'The Last Ride' story of Hank Williams' last trip."Hey Good Lookin'" was the first song my mom taught me. Michael English did a genius version of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" It says what we've ALL felt. Henry Thomas & Jesse James broke my heart." - Cher
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee added "it's a beautifully crafted and creative 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."
Based on the controversial life story of singer-songwriter, Hank Williams, "The Last Ride," tells the story, when Williams travels from Alabama to a series of New Year's shows in West Virginia and Ohio. The movie also includes new versions of some of the Hank Williams classics.
