Tales from the Tour Bus is excellent in its own right, but it's not a scholarly documentary in the vein of Ken Burns.
It's an interesting format that fuses animation and Charlie Murphy's storytelling style to entertainingly relate tales of debauchery and heartache straight from the mouths of eyewitnesses such as bandmembers or siblings of the star.
It's more focused, anecdotal, humorous, and personal than Country Music, and less historical and comprehensive. Both are great watches.
