Newport Beach Film Festival 2008

Blessed with incomparable, natural talent, Hank Garland quickly established his reputation as the finest session player in Nashville. The 50's Nashville scene was unique – dominated by a group of executives and musicians who controlled the industry. Hank, in his pursuit of musical excellence, often came into conflict with the business, which he found restrictive and frustrating. But it was his relationship with his wife, Evelyn, which may have led to his demise. 43 years after Hank disappeared from music, his guitar lives on in a number of hit records, and one, amazing solo jazz effort.
