The line-up is a rocking group including Jim James, Michael Kiwanuka and Shovels & Rope, and the location at Willie Nelson’s Luck, Texas Ranch is not too shabby. The old western town built for Willie’s film “Red Headed Stranger” provides the backdrop with performances on an outdoor stage at the ranch and an acoustic, intimate 50-seat chapel.
