A wonderful documentary, chock-full of great music, big stars, like Dolly, Parton, Ray Charles. Johnny Cash, and a fascinating storyline, in which the state of Texas plays a pivotal role. Although the film was made with Willys full cooperation, it does not flinch from his marital dramas or his financial struggles. For those of us who are so used to Willy, always being part of the backdrop of our lives, it was interesting to remember that Willie did not achieve fame as an entertainer in his own right until his late 30s or early 40s. Filmmakers lucked out in that Willy was stuck at home during the pandemic, which gave them extensive access to him and his family. The result is a warm, emotional film that will have the viewer clapping and dancing to the best. . My guess is that the film will be edited slightly. Some parts, regarding his financial struggles were too long. I'm really surprised this hasn't been acquired yet because it is a gem.
