[rakkc]

On now, episode 4 - anybody else watching - episodes I, II and III have been good so far.

[R83steve]

I think that it has been pretty good so far

[Transom]

Are they going to cover the rap that is on air now?

[spinningreel]

The piece on Hank Williams last night was pretty good. Watching again toninght.


***Man Ralph Emory sure has aged since I seen him back in the day on TNN.

Are they going to cover the rap that is on air now?

no idea, hope not and it's called CRAP - (country rap)

[Tigercat]

All of his documentaries are great. His documentaries about The West and The Civil War are fantastic if you’re a fan of history or storytelling.

Excellent

It was pretty cool seeing my cousin playing the piano for the Jordanaires. I miss ol Faron Young. I got to know him back in the 80’s and I had no idea back then how cool he really was. I remember that he was fun to hang out with. He always had a glass of something in his hand. I’m hoping they show how instrumental Cowboy Jack Clement is to country music. Go to the country music hall of fame website and look at the poets and prophets videos and you’ll see more in depth history by hearing straight from the songwriters all the people and the hits and how they changed country music with Don Williams and Waylon Jennings. I’m a country music history nut. There’s just so much you can cram into these shows. Not enough time for all of it. Ken Burns does a pretty good job.

Excellent

I’ve not seen a minute of this series (I will purchase it when it’s available on DVD); but when Ken Burns’ name is on a product, I would expect nothing less than excellence...

An American treasure, extremely gifted in documenting America’s treasured (and not so treasured) past.

I have only watched part one so far, it is very good.

[RANGER487]

[yatesville88fan]

I’ve enjoyed watching this. I did see last night at the end that it is now available on DVD.

Bill Monroe vs. Ralph Stanley vs. Flatt & Scruggs. Good stuff. I thought the Patsy Cline story was really good.

All of his documentaries are excellent. I've watched the ones on Jazz and WWII twice. Can't wait to see the new C & W one. I saw Burns on Morning Joe talking about it....looks good. I'll probably binge watch it on the Apple TV app.
