Willie fans, the merely curious, and those who haven't a clue about this American icon will enjoy watching this jewel. His story is fascinating, from his early days living with his grandparents through his struggles in Nashville to his final successes. Sure, he had some financial woes of his own making, and didn't have a lot of marital success until his last, it is all these things that make him the unique man he is. One thing that comes through in this documentary is his complete honesty, his devotion to his band, and his love for his family. The respect other superstars had (and have) for him is manifest in the number of collaborative albums and shows on his resume. And Trigger, his iconic Martin N-20, should finally rest at the Martin Museum or in the Smithsonian when the great man passes and joins the broken circle.
