While his name doesn't ring the same bells as the seminal performers he's worked with and wrote songs for, such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Dolly Parton, and Charley Pride, Cowboy Jack is as much part of the Memphis country music scene as Sun Records or Elvis. But perhaps more memorable than the songs he wrote or the stars he helped to create, is his personality which is captured in the numerous home movies he's made over the years and compiled here by filmmakers Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon. This is a rare glimpse into one of the most important names in rock and country music history, as well as a candid look at his fun-loving and over-the-top interactions with musical legends such as Bono and Johnny Cash.
