Ken Burns’ “Country Music” Film is a Masterpiece
You don’t have to love country music to enjoy the latest PBS documentary from Ken Burns, but that would help. Broadcast this month on PBS over eight two-hour episodes, the film is loaded with incredible stories about fascinating people.
If you missed the broadcasts (or want to watch again), you can stream the episodes here.
You also can listen to the featured music by buying the soundtrack here.
