    Storyline

    Edit
    Buck Bonham is a county singer, with a good family, struggling to find national fame. He juggles his music career with his obligations to his long-suffering wife and their son. He has everything going his way until his longtime guitarist retires from the band. His plucky young daughter eagerly accepts the position meant to last several weeks. The road leads to temptation as the young woman admits a longtime crush on him, which leads to his downfall. The only question is will his family and friends stand by him before things come crashing down? —Anonymous

    • Goofs
      In Mexico, Buck gets shot with the 7th shot from Garland's 6-shooter. (Note: the film as shown on TCM April 10, 2021 had Garland firing just 6 times - once to get Buck's attention as Buck walked toward the bus, twice while running through the bus, once after departing the bus chasing Buck, once into the air while the two were struggling, and then the 6th shot which was the final one.)
    • Quotes

      [Lily is on her first tour with Buck's band]

      Bo: Anybody on this bus got a college education?

      Lily Ramsey: I do; just graduated in June.

      Bo: Good. Then you can get up and get us a beer.

    A good vehicle for Nelson, a must see for his followers
    I liked the movie, although I don't care a thing for Willie or his music. His band members did a good job as actors, and Slim Pickens was great as the booze swilling guitar player. The scene near the end where Pickens tried to kill Nelson was hilarious. The story never got real emotional nor did it drag around too much, so I considered it good enough.
