Willie Nelson & Family offers raucous but thorough look at Texas legend's life
The first authorized documentary of the life of Willie Nelson dropped on Paramount+ late last month, and it's a raucous and rejuvenating tale befitting of the outlaw country superstar born 25 miles north of Waco. Willie Nelson & Family takes a four-part bus ride through sweaty honky-tonks and music festivals and features interviews with performers as varied as Brenda Lee, Wynton Marsalis, Booker T. Jones and Dolly Parton. Fans only familiar with Nelson's long-haired hippie-cowboy image may be surprised by the clean-cut suit-and-tie square who sang along nervously to backing tracks on 1950s television.
