Just finished the Country Western Documentary by Ken Burns and have to say it was phenomenal. I could nitpick about a few people that were not mentioned in it but understood the restraints and loved the journey and the path they chose to follow and WOW what a journey. Did I mention, I loved it?
An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS.
Last night, the wife and I had a most enjoyable evening, gratis our comfy couch and AV system, watching a AZ PBS broadcast of "Country Music Live AT The Ryman"
A wonderful tribute to the history of Country Music and the many artists, writers and producers who helped pave its way. It was hosted by producer Ken Burns with tribute performances of the music of such iconic legends as Hank Williams. Johny Cash, Maybelle Carter and many others, performances by Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell, Kathy Matea, Marty Stewart, Dwight Yoakam, Holly Williams and other noted artists.
It was both educational and entertaining and inspired me to dig out some of my old favorite Country LPs and CDs and spend the night enjoying some almost forgotten, wonderful tunes.
Whether or not Country Music is among one's favorite genres, it definitely has deep roots in America's musical landscape.
For those who haven't had a chance to enjoy this great broadcast, check your local PBS for possible re-broadcasts and follow up additions of the history and artists of American Country Music, as well as specials on the many other genre of music.
