Your Cheatin' Heart stars George Hamilton in a biographical film of country music's greatest singer Hank Williams. All the songs are performed by his son Hank Williams Jr. (US:16)
"Great singing for a teenager. Your Cheatin' Heart was a movie better heard than seen according to some and for those who are familiar with the movie, we know why."
"This soundtrack is a time machine of the early 1960s 'countrypolitan' sound. Those were the good old days before the youth revolution of the late 60s and the country outlaw movement of the 1970s. Young Hank does a commendable job on the soundtrack."
"I've been in Hank's fan club since 1978. Have all original albums dating back from 1964, and this is one of the best. Great songs, strong voice for a young man. It is great to release an album that has such feelings. No one else could have done it better."
"The quality is surprisingly good and there are great covers of songs by Hank Williams Jr. like I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, I Saw The Light, and Jambalaya. Most of these songs are done very much in a '1960s style' of country, but still very good and worth buying."
"If you are a songwriter or have ever written a song, you must marvel at the work of Hank Williams, and this movie shows us the magic of his songwriting. Where do the greatest songs come from? And if we happen to write one, is it not our responsibility to let the world hear it?"
"All the songs heard in this movie are classics. It is amazing that Hank Jr. does such a fantastic job dubbing his dad's music. In some ways his rendition of Hank senior's most poetic song, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, is better than the original. He almost captures all the pain and loneliness of his dad's magnificent voice."
