Marking the 100th anniversary of his birth, the event showcased a wide variety of country and Americana artists influenced by Williams's music. The cast includes Country Music Hall of Fame member Charlie McCoy, Suzy Bogguss, Laura Cantrell, Della Mae, Rodney Crowell, S. G. Goodman, Jeff Hanna, Brennen Leigh, Lyle Lovett, Delbert McClinton, Chuck Mead, Wendy Moten, and Williams’s grandchildren Hilary Williams, Holly Williams, and Sam Williams. In this clip from the program, Sam Williams discusses his grandfather's impact and performs his newly released rendition of “I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.“ For the first time, the program, presented by Spotify in partnership with the Americana Music Association, is available to watch in full:
