Country Music (2019)
6/10
Something is missing -- spotty and uneven
25 September 2019
First 3 episodes were quite fascinating. I learned facts I didn't know before like the history of bluegrass. Episodes 4,5,6 and 7 were like worship on the Church of Cash, Dylan and Nelson repeating over and over again. There was nothing new or revealing about them that was presented here in this documentary. Then they added the life and times of Hank Williams Jr and Roseanne Cash ?! and how difficult it was as a child of a Legend. It's fine but 30 minutes worth?! They could have spent that time on Loretta and Dolly's amazing journey and how they are role models for today's singers and songwriters. The documentary spent a minute or two on traditionalist versus outsiders. I wish they could have elaborated on this more. Were any musical historians consulted?? Overall, the documentary is very uneven. The producers provided a very subjective view of 'their' Country Music.
