With an opportunity to hop on and off Willie Nelson's tour bus during his concert circuit, the medium here is, indeed, the message - the vehicle through which to tell the story. Through performance footage, direct conversation and casual eavesdropping, iconic musician Willie Nelson reveals himself, in vérité. A public persona, who thrives in the floodlights, Nelson is, in fact, guarded and protective. Beneath the spell-binding stories and practical jokes and continuous strumming, he has never before allowed this kind of intimacy and exposure. Family, friends, fans, his band and other performers - including Waylon Jennings, Neil Young, Lyle Lovett, Ray Charles, Kinky Freidman, Dave Matthews - appear on the bus at every stop, helping to question and illuminate Nelson. Context is provided through archival footage, music is everywhere and Willie Nelson is front and center.
