Amazing Grace: The Story of Willie Nelson

KUT , 59:00

**** Authoritative, Engaging, Sound Rich

This is an excellent doc. Congratulations to David Brown on a job well done.

For those of us, myself included, who only know a little bit about the life and music of Willie Nelson, this is a great learning experience that is also compelling radio.

The biographical info, with a good narrative arc, combined with the rare music clips, provides good public service. The early recording of Willie is a real gem, one I would bet most people have not heard.

I would recommend this special anytime, not just around Willie's birthday.
