Outlaw Country singer Wilson Dixon (Jesse Griffin), the music legend born and raised in Cripple Creek, Colorado, descends on London for a string of rare performances singing songs from his first album, Wilson Dixon's Greatest Hits, his acclaimed second album, Introducing Wilson Dixon, and his album of love songs, I Love You But I Also Want To Hurt You.
In this four-part series, an affectionate tribute to the philosophy of traditional country music, which also includes four "live" sessions, Wilson expounds his views on life, love and relationships through dry, observational songs and anecdotes delivered with a deadpan, surreal edge. Wilson's sharp observations on everyday life are juxtaposed with his laid-back country delivery and draw the audience into his surreal redneck world full of larger-than-life characters and situations.
