Also, keep your eye out for Jett’s four-segment appearance on Larry Black’s SECOND GENERATIONS, which was taped on October 19th and will air on the RFD network the first of the year.  It was a love fest with the children of the legends, bouncing stories off the living legends about their parents.

 

And, just as a reminder, catch Jett’s Sirius/XM radio show, HANK WILLIAMS: INSIDE THE BOX, on Willie’s Roadhouse, channel 56.  It airs Sunday at 8PM ET, then again on Friday at 10:30PM ET, and on Saturday at 7AM ET.

The next few shows ought to get your attention.  Jett is focusing on the last 72-hours of the life of her dad and raising major questions about what happened and who did what to whom at the end of the lonesome ride that left Hank dead and a host of questions.

The Last Ride (Feature Film)

Category One Entertainment Group is pleased to announce the upcoming limited release of THE LAST RIDE from director Harry Thomason (Designing Women, Evening Shade) and starring Henry Thomas (E.T.), Jesse James with Fred Dalton Thompson and Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory).

Inspired by the mysterious final days of Hank Williams' mercurial life, THE LAST RIDE is the story of his fateful road trip at the end of 1952.

"The Last Ride" Will Knock You Out (featured previously on www.jettwilliams.com)

Pay attention, this is important. Keith and Jett have focused for years on the last 72 hours in the life of her father, Hank Williams. It is riddled with mystery, intrigue, and all manner of unanswered questions.

This movie STARRING HENRY THOMAS, JESSE JAMES, and KALEY CUOCO, with FRED DALTON THOMPSON will stir every emotion you have. You won't hear the principal strum a chord or sing a note, but you will be captivated with the character Henry Thomas inhabits.

As Jett says, "It rattles around in your head for days after you see it." It is not a "dark" movie, but it sure is a provocative one. And it is an effort to get into the "bone marrow" of the talent and the humanity of America's first superstar ad his tortured solitary genius.

A product of Live Bait Entertainment/Mozart Film Productions, it compliments, rather than detracts from THE BIG PICTURE in the works. That's the way we look at it.

Look for the release, presently scheduled for the fall of this year. You'll hear our Jettster singing three or four tunes on the soundtrack.

"My Turn" by Jett Williams

What a quarter we have had closing out last year!  We went to Chicago to promote the latest release by Time Life of the previously unknown songs my dad recorded; we went to Shreveport and put on a sold out show in tribute to The Great One [Hank] and heralding the release of the movie The Last Ride; we went to Montgomery to promote the movie; we filmed 4 segments for the soon to be released Larry Black produced Family Reunion runaway success entitled “Second Generations;”  we went pheasant hunting in South Dakota and did two shows benefitting the Sheriffs Association there; I did a show for ROPE here in Nashville; I was the Grand Marshal, once again, in the Dauphin Isl. AL Christmas parade;  I shot two bucks on our property with a muzzle loader [my first time using one]; I did media blitzes for the new release in Tampa and for the CMA in Nashville; I slugged away at my weekly SiriusXM radio show; and we went to DC for meetings with Time Life on new initiatives and follow up ideas.

In addition to all that, George Jones and I went in search of the missing child of their housekeeper [and found him] — we’ll explain.  And I got to do something Ray Scott  [BASS Masters] and I have been trying to do for two years — go fishing at his world renown facility.  Keith and I were guests of he and his delightful wife Susan.  Of course I closed out the year with the Opry and hosting the ET Midnight Jamboree.  Sit back; enjoy. Jett

It did not break the Duo’s hearts at all when Time Life suggested they come to DC to visit, eat lobster at one their collective places and plot marketing strategies for the coming year.  The head of Time Life had introduced them to one of the best kept hotel secrets in DC, the Mansion on O Street, NW.  It is an eclectic museum of music and antiques; doesn’t advertise; and you’re anonymous — if anyone calls, you do not exist.  You fix your own breakfast in this magnificent row house.  And just all the rockers and others stay there when in town.  In fact, on their first trip Arlo Guthrie poured Keith his first cup of coffee of the day.  It has hidden passages, book cases that swing open leading to hidey hole rooms and run by a true renaissance lady, known only as “H” and her husband Ted.

While taking a walk, Keith & Jett noticed an attractive young lady carrying a dog—he commented on the dog and she responded.  In three minutes Jett established that Elizabeth was from Alabama and went to the University.  The Duo was invited for drinks with her and her friend, who turned out to be about Keith’s age.  Friend Paul owns a string of restaurants in DC and it didn’t take long for them to realize they know and knew all of the same folks — the movers, the shakers, the good, the bad and the ugly.  We think this might be a budding relationship.  After drinks at a Paul owned restaurant, it was lobsters with Time Life and meetings the next day.  Great fun.
