Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus

I found myself singing along to Grevious Angel and so I began to look it up. I feel the song because I did that, more or less. He didnt write it ? Who then was Annie Rich ? The story of Grand theft Parsons and after is perfect for Tales From the Tour Bus.

This is an excellent and extremely entertaining show. The animation really brings these stories to life in a way that watching an interview alone never could.

Whoever thought of this concept is literally a genius. I really hope there are 10 more seasons covering all the greatest country music singers.

PS. Please do one on Gary Stewart, as you'll get a great episode out of some of his stories I'm sure.

Very tentatively, I came one episode shy of the first season, but it was much better than I could have imagined. Such a great job of animated cartoons with actual performance footage mixed in. I had to get all caught up and the thing of it was that season one was all about country music, which is way, way down on my music preference list, but the episodes were riveting. Season two is all about the evolution of funk, and it is as good as ever. Now I stay caught up every week. Good on so many levels. I hope these tales run to more seasons than Soul Train. Big up yourself Mike Judge. And keep 'em coming.

To address the two former reviews, both of which I agree with: Yes, Mike Judge is a genius. Just check his body of work for confirmation. You can't go from Beavis and Butthead (originally a student project) to Silicon Valley without some serious visionary cred.

The series is animated because that's Judge's metier. He can work outside of it with ease, but that is where his magic happens most often.

Honesty, transparency, access. Who the hell can put all that together and still make it fun? Mike Judge, that's who. The art of storytelling is alive, all you have to do is watch.

Genius portrait and great story telling. It is my favorite series ever.
