Sep 21, 2019How is this not a perfect 10 with anyone who watches it? If you do not like country music don't watch it and you have no right to write a review. Perfectly edited documentary by probably the best as Ken Burns and company does this type like no one else. And Peter Coyote narration adds the perfect touch. I started watching thinking I would skim through it and found myself immediately enthralled.

You don't have to like country music at all—in fact, you can despise it—to be swept away by these gloriously eccentric yarns.

Country Music endeavors to go full Baskin-Robbins and give viewers as many flavors as possible. ... Yet the overall effect of watching how an outsider art became a major part of our everyday sonic landscape, and the way it let a thousand different flowers bloom from the rocky soil of its origins, is overwhelming.

Compared to Burns’ past works, this is not the fathoms-deep dive into the music’s history which devoted fans may be wanting. On the other hand, this may make “Country Music” more accessible to viewers like me who have little historical or emotional connection to this sector of popular culture. Sometimes the way into the museum is to skim the catalogue.
