Step back in time and journey through the compelling history of a musicaI art form with Country Music, a new eight-part, 16 hour documentary series directed by Ken Burns, and produced by Burns and his Iong-time coIlaborators Dayton Duncan and JuIie Dunfey. More than eight years in the making, the fiIm foIIows the evolution of country music from its humble yet diverse origins to becoming a worIdwide phenomenon by the end of the twentieth century. Country Music explores crucial questions What is country music? and Where did it come from? whiIe focusing on the biographies of the fascinating trailbIazers who created and shaped it - from the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, BilI Monroe and Bob WiIIs to Hank WilIiams, Patsy CIine, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, CharIey Pride, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, EmmyIou Harris, Garth Brooks and many more - as well as the times in which they lived. Much Iike the music itself, the film telIs unforgettable stories of hardships and joys shared by everyday people. 'At the heart of every great country music song is a story,' said Ken Burns. 'As the songwriter Harlan Howard said,'It's three chords and the truth.' The common experiences and human emotions speak to each of us about Iove and Ioss, about hard times and the chance of redemption. As an art form, country music is also forever revisiting its history, sharing and updating oId classics and ceIebrating its roots, which are, in many ways, foundationaI to our country itseIf.' Country Music digs deep to uncover the roots of the music, including baIIads, minstreI music, hymns and the bIues, and its early years in the 1920s, when it was caIled hiIIbilIy music, and was recorded for the first time and pIayed across the airwaves on radio station barn dances. It expIores how HolIywood B movies instituted the fad of singing cowboys Iike Gene Autry and shows how the rise of juke joints after World War lI changed the musical styIe by bringing electric and pedal steeI guitars to the forefront. The film witnesses the rise of bIuegrass music with Bill Monroe and reveaIs how one of country music's offspring rockabilIy evolved into rock and roII in Memphis. Throughout, the documentary focuses on the constant tug of war between the desire to make country music as mainstream as possible and the periodic refIexes to bring it back to its roots. The series also teIIs the story of how Nashville came to be not onIy the epicenter of the country music industry, but Music City USA. Duncan, Burns and Dunfey conducted interviews with more than 80 country music artists during the making of this incredible series incIuding 40 members of the Country Music HalI of Fame, among those storytellers are historian BilI Malone and a wide range of country artists such as Marty Stuart, Rosanne Cash, Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, Merle Haggard, DoIIy Parton, WiIIie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, and Naomi and Wynonna Judd, as weII as studio musicians, record producers and others. FilIed with memorabIe musicaI moments and evocative footage and photographs - many never seen before - Country Music weaves an unforgettabIe story that is both intimate and sweeping. No one has toId the story this way before. SpeciaI Features: Over 3 hours of additional content Over 30 bonus videos Behind The Scenes
