Marc Abraham serves as both the director and the screenwriter for this project. The story for this adaptation project comes from the book Hank Williams: The Biography by Colin Escott, George Merritt, and William MacEwen. Little Brown first released this nonfiction title back in 1994.
Here's more from Variety: "Producers have obtained rights from Sony ATV for Williams’ songs, including 'Your Cheatin’ Heart,' 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' and 'Hey Good Lookin'.' Williams was born in 1923 in Alabama and broke out in the post-World War II era with the song 'Move It on Over.' Among his hits are 'Lost Highway,' 'Jumbalaya (on the Bayou),' 'Ramblin' Man,' 'You Win Again' and 'Lovesick Blues.'" What do you think?

I read tons of other absolutely wonderful books, too! But these are the ones that made my Favorite Book of the Week sidebar spot the past couple of months, and I think any of them would make a terrific Christmas gift.
Happy shopping...for yourself or your young relatives.
P.S. I bought 4 books I'd heard of but hadn't read yet for my two teen daughters yesterday. Now I have to restrain myself from reading them until after they unwrap and read them. I guess I'd better wrap them today or they're likely to get broken-spined, smudged-up books!
