When Thomas Fraser died in 1978 he was remembered only as a shy fisherman crofter. Thirty years later, he has been hailed as the most important figure in the history of British Country Music, he's just had his fourth CD released and he's been honoured in Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame. In this beautifully filmed and evocative documentary for BBC Scotland his friends, family and admirers tell his unlikely story. And from his home island of Burra, a concert in his memory celebrates an extraordinary musical legacy.
