It’s amazing. I’m watching it on the app and just finished third episode focusing on Hank Williams. Brought tears to my eyes multiple times.One of the best things I’ve ever seen on tv. Anybody else watching it.
First 7 episodes were awesome. Last night's finale was not.
Same with me when Ken Burn's "Jazz" came out.I've enjoyed into E6. I'm not much of a country music fan, but a lot interested in history. Didn't know how the recording business of it began nor that Gene Autry was leader of the western part of C&W. Also didn't know how the demises of so many stars came about. No idea Me & Bobby McGee was originally a country tune nor that it was by Kris Kristofferson Who knew he was a captain in the Army?) . And music writing in general is a mystery to me.
Amazing how many icons spotlighted in the series are from Kentucky. Off the top ofl my head from memory: Bill Monroe, Tom T Hall, Everly Brothers, Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs, The Judds , Patty Loveless, Dwight Yoakam. I am sure I am missing some. And they stopped at 1996......so the list has grown. Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, Chris Knight.
I want to watch The War, but refuse to buy it. But not sure how it would rank after watching The Pacific.The Civil War
Jazz
Country Music
The National Parks
The Vietnam War
Baseball
The War
You can pretty much learn to be an American from all these. I think if he did the Revolution and Constitution, and Civil Rights, you’d have it all.
