Country Music directed by Ken Burns asks 'What鈥痠s鈥痗ountry music?' and 'Where did it come from?'; while focusing on the biographies of the fascinating trailblazers who created and shaped it. They range from the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Bill Monroe and Bob Wills to Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Charley Pride, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Garth Brooks and many more - as well as the times in which they lived. Much like the music itself,鈥痶he film tells unforgettable stories of hardships and joys shared by everyday people.
鈥淎t the heart of every great country music song is a story,鈥 says Ken Burns. "As the songwriter Harlan Howard said, 鈥業t鈥檚 three chords and the truth.鈥 The common experiences and human emotions speak to each of us about love and loss, about hard times and the chance of redemption. As an art form, country music is also forever revisiting its history, sharing and updating old classics and celebrating its roots, which are, in many ways, foundational to our country itself.鈥
