This is a shocking and sensitive journey through the mind of paranoid-schizophrenic musician Will "smooth" Sayles. Institutionalized at 16 after recording some of the most ground-breaking psychedelic rock & roll "The Music Man" city had ever seen...busted on the streets of L.A. until he was discovered by Jimmy Jess with whom he cut his first record album -- though they later parted ways quite violently. Over the course of 5 years, he appeared on national television (Top 50 music charts) in England, was the subject of his own comic book, was the first artist to be recorded on Nervegrass Records, and sang a duet with Mike Dunn. Get to know the man who became known as "crazy-uncle of outsider music" through extensive archival recordings from Sayles' early days / present days, and interviews with those close to him.
