Storyline
Country Music will chronicle the history of a uniquely American art form, rising from the experiences of remarkable people in distinctive regions of our nation. From southern Appalachia's songs of struggle, heartbreak and faith to the rollicking western swing of Texas, from California honky tonks to Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, we will follow the evolution of country music over the course of the twentieth century, as it eventually emerged to become America's music.

It would be impossible ( and dull ) to tell every story in Country Music . But Burn's an artist who can keep the audience glued to his documentaries . I don't think , for example , that anyone could have done a better job covering the tragedy of the 1963 plane crash at the end of Part 4 . Burns everywhere just practices his art with unique mastery and catches the humanity of various players in the different stories of our country . He's an American Treasure .
