In the Oklahoma dustbowl of the 1930s country singer Red Stovall drops in on his sister's farm. He has an opportunity to play at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville but doesn't have enough money to get there. He eventually sets off with his teen nephew Whit and Whit's grandfather for company. For Whit this is his first chance to experience the wider world.
One of Clint Eastwood's gentler, more sensitive films and it works reasonably well. The plot is a bit unfocused and only comes together at the end but it's interesting enough. There's some entertaining scenes along the way and the ending is quite emotional.
