![]() Kris Kristofferson recalls his first meeting and subsequent friendship with Johnny Cash in THE HIGHWAYMEN: FRIENDS TILL THE END. In my estimation, his feature-length documentaries– Pete Seeger: The Power of Song (see my review at ) and The Weavers: Wasn’t that a Time!– are two of the most powerful, inspiring and informative films about American musicians and their milieu ever made. While I never tire of listening to Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash, I’m also a major fan of Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Jim Brown. (Check local listings for air times in your region and for up-to-date streaming and DVD availability.) If you’re a fan of Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings or Kris Kristofferson, you might want to kick back and spend an hour watching Jim Brown’s American Masters’ season finale, The Highwaymen: Friends Till the End, premiering on PBS tonight, Friday, May 27, 2016, 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. “They had a ball together,” recalls producer/director Jim Brown about the legendary subjects of his latest film. ![]() Photo: Jim McGuire, courtesy Sony Music Entertainment.
