Country USA: Three Chords & the Truth
Ken Burns' Country Music series on PBS is the inspiration for this look at the great American music blended from all people.
In September of 2019, "Country Music," by the acclaimed film director Ken Burns, aired 8 episodes over a two-week period on PBS TV stations throughout the USA. Inspired by that incredible documentary that traced country music from its origins in the 1930's through six more decades, this edition of American Jukebox brings 35 representative pieces, many used in the documentary, to this program.
From the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers in the '30s to Hank Williams and Bob Wills in the '40s, on to the '50s, '60s and beyond with Johnny Cash, Lefty Frezelle, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Charley Pride, Dolly Parton, Willie and Waylon, and many others, your listeners will respond to this cross section of the Country genre that is coming up to its 100th birthday.
Listener response to this program has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
