“Undeniably Donnie” is narrated by Kris Kristofferson and features talking heads from legendary country music stars like Kristofferson himself, Willie Nelson, John Prine and T-Bone Burnett. These former collaborators speak highly of Fritts and his career, emphasizing his impact on the history of music while creating a personal portrait of the man himself.
