Trivia:
The script originally called for Kyle Eastwood's character to get high from smoking marijuana, but Clint Eastwood, who is very anti-drug, refused, even with Kyle even using a prop cigarette. Eastwood finally relented to his son's character getting high from a contact buzz. moreQuotes:
Red Stovall: Mary was right to go back to her husband. What the hell did I have to offer a kid? Just honky-tonks and flop-houses. That's the life of a country singer, Hoss. Sound good to you?Whit: It don't sound too hot when you put it like that, but it sure beats picking cotton and living in a sharecropper's shack.

Oddly unlikable, stolid effort directed and co-starring Clint Eastwood (in rueful, ambling spirits). Written by Clancy Carlile from his novel, the drama concerns a boozing Depression-era singer in Oklahoma, harboring health problems yet about to hit the road for the Grand Ole Opry, having his street-smart nephew (Kyle Eastwood) along for the journey as his driver. Real-life father and son Eastwood teaming never quite achieves anything special, with young Kyle struggling with his delivery. Many famous country crooners are given cameos, and Clint's vocals are rather pleasing, but this story is low-keyed and uncertain; if it's supposed to be heart-warming, someone forgot the heart. Worse, the golden-hued photography is brackish and unappealing, and the supporting players fail to add any energy. * from ****
