COUNTRY MUSIC - KEN BURNS DOCUMENTARY
For two hours last night I was entertained by watching country music history.. namely about Elvis and Johnny Cash. Never have I viewed such in-depth stories in B&W and color. I learned more about ALL country artists, their successes.. their failures ..amazing.
Names like Brenda Lee, Dolly Pardon, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, the Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Marty Robbins, Roy Orbison, and many, many more were featured. This PBS program showed the evolution of country music from gospel. telling about songwriters and promotors. It got into the personal lives, marriages, divorces, tragedies and all the rest. This one segment of the Ken Burns Documentary hit my hot spot. The next segment can be viewed Sunday night on all PBS stations.
This documentary is to be seen by all music lovers and historians. "Heads-up" SonBen!
