Airing in the USA last year and in the UK on BBC4 recently, 'Country Music', the documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns, was an absolute delight and treasure trove of historical information about the world of Country music and the people that populate it.
Despite each episode being cut to only 50 minutes here in the UK James found it to be an informative and interesting watch. Driven by watching the series and by the 'weighty tome' of the accompanying book, James explores the 10 things he learned from the documentary and draws parallels between some of the historical happenings that occurred in Country music and some of the events and trends happening today.
