There was talk of this recently, so I thought there may be interest.

It's in 13 parts (though I can't locate part 12) and seems to be well done.
Pic and sound are excellent by YouTube standards.

Great thanks. Wonder if there really is a part 12. Is there a
missing part or did the poster just forget what number he was up to?

Real hard to tell. Part 11 doesn't really seem to be an ending, but it
wouldn't be the first time I didn't know a movie was over. Part 13 is the
credits, and 14 is blank.


FWIW, over on TDPRI.com, the Tele discussion site, there is a Mrs. Garland,
listed age 78, answering questions and posting pics of Hanks gear. Some of
her posts are signed Mrs. Garland, others are signed The Garland Family.

Oh, one more thing of note.

The Executive Producer is listed as Steve Vai. I didn't see that coming.

Usually his sister Amy Garland represents Hank on the Web. But she
wouldn't say "Mrs. Garland."

I've managed to save all the parts local as .flv files, but it's not getting
saved with the same "HQ" resolution as watching it online. Does anyone know
of a site/software that helps with that?

TIA

Tried YouTube Downloader ?

I've found it good but haven't tested it extensively. Appears to do
different qualities.

That's also Steve Vai as Hank Williams in the opening backstage.

thanks for the link. this reminded me to revisit the Jazz Winds record
and the other jazz guitar things that Hank recorded. What a fantastic
player! You just have to smile every time you hear that ripping
version of ATTYA with Gary Burton.

Thank you so much!

Now finally after all these years of speculation, rumors, secrecy, you
name it, we finally see what the Garland family saw fit to release on
the subject.

Years ago I thought it was an accident plain and simple.

Then a couple of years ago Jimmy Bruno and a few others here were
hinting at something more than just an accident, but they refused to
elaborate.

For me, the revelation wasn't the 'fake' accident.
It was that his wife, Evelyn, masterminded his shock treatment!

As was mentioned not too long ago here on rst, it wasn't the accident
that did in his playing, but rather the shock treatment that was used
to supposedly help get him back to normal.

Now finally all the pieces fit together. One can only assume they are
fairly accurate as the Garland family are listed on the film credits
and surely played a role in the writing of the screenplay.

First the record companies, now his wife. Who next, Jimmy Hoffa? A
rival gang of studio guitarists who resented being showed up by
Garland's chops?

You know, back at that time ECT was a cutting edge treatment being used
for all sorts of behavioral issues including depression, schizophrenia,
alcoholism and drug dependence, etc. Not a surprise for it to be used
in Garland's case, too, especially if he became depressed after the
injury (which often happens after a TBI). It wouldn't be done today,
but you have to be careful about judging medical decisions made 40+
years ago by today's standards. And don't forget, today's thoughts
about ECT are much more strongly affected by a work of fiction ("One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") that by scientific fact (hundreds of
studies showing no permanent memory deficits caused by ECT).

You can't reasonably make that assumption. The only assumption you can
make is that the film reflects the perspectives of those members of the
Garland family who were involved in the development of the film.
There's no guarantee that those perspectives are factually correct-
people looking at an event through the lens of grief and loss often get
it wrong.

That's right, Tim. Biopics, whether officially sanctioned or not,
never tell the complete story. Certainly, Hank's daughters Sheryl and
Debra have a very different slant on events. Who knows where the truth
really lies?

I watched this movie last night thanks to the OP, but I have to say I
didn't enjoy it all that much. Of course, not knowing the real Hank
Garland I don't know how well HG was portrayed, but it was a little
difficult for me to buy into the leading actor. There were aspects of
it I liked, but on the whole I'd say it was a disappointment.

Not to be harshly critical specifically of "Crazy," this is always a
problem. It's impossible to present a total picture of any event; some
biopics are better than others but none can be completely accurate.

People always have a different opinion or a different story depending
on the agenda they may have or simply because they see things
different. I can assure you this film is accurate! sure they may have
put a Hollywood twist on it ,but from what I have been told allot of
things were left out and the story is deeper than you think. I did not
live in those times but my father did and we are both musicians that
have been in and out of the Nashville scene. Its a brutal business you
will meet some a good and very bad folks along the way. I believe my
cousin Billy he was there and the man is truly scared from all of
this. I talk to him for hours about it and I can hear the truth in his
voice. Hank got mixed up with a good looking women, gangsters and
racism that's three things that will get you killed quick still to
this day. As for the movie,they did a good job on what they could tell
us about the past. if you are a musician heading to Nashville to be a
"star" this movie is a wake up call.
As for the daughters.. a family difference is among us and false and
mis-information is in the air. Its not hard to read between the lines
and get some truth. Billy and Amy are good people don't let anyone say
otherwise.
