"Always on My Mind" chronicles the life of Willie Nelson, a man whose rebellious spirit and unapologetic honesty reshaped the landscape of country music.

Instead, he blazes his own trail, blending elements of folk, rock, and jazz to create a sound that is uniquely his own. The film delves into Willie's personal life, exploring his complex relationships, including his marriages, divorces, and the tragic loss of loved ones. Despite his success, Willie struggles with inner demons, turning to drugs and alcohol to cope with the pressures of fame.

Description of Willie Nelson:

Willie Hugh Nelson is an American country singer, guitarist and songwriter. He was one of the main figures of the outlaw country subgenre that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. The critical success of his album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.
