Country Music (2019)
5/10
Early stuff good... later stuff a mess
13 December 2021
I am a big fan of Ken Burns documentaries, but this one just doesn't cut it. The early history of country was done pretty well in this series, but the later history just leaves out too much that is important. Some major artists are completely overlooked, often in favor much less important stuff. And what on Earth is Wynton Marsalis - a jazz artist - doing commenting on country music. Perhaps this should have gone for a couple more episodes to get things right. As it stands, it just looks like Burns doesn't know the subject matter.
