Not a country fan? I can't guarantee Burns will convert you, but if you aren't tapping your feet to one of the many versions of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" (the series' unofficial theme song), you may want to check your pulse.September 16, 2019
Compared to the best of the Burns-PBS collaborations, it drones on in a way that isn't equal to the high expectations and fanfare associated with Burns' epic made-for-public-TV ballads.September 17, 2019
Burns and his team are in superb voice as they sing the praises of country music and those legendary talents who popularized it. As with any successful song, they really put their hearts into it.September 16, 2019
By far Ken Burns' most entertaining documentary to date.September 16, 2019
For its running time, Burns effectively steers this wagon across country music's diverging timelines.September 16, 2019
This epic, essential survey is both a history lesson of an American art form and 20th century U.S.A. itself.September 16, 2019
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.September 13, 2019
So whatever your thoughts about country music, expect to be immensely entertained, educated and even edified throughout this master course in pickin', grinnin' -- and so very much more.September 17, 2019
It makes the series' virtues and failings starker that it happens to have debuted in such a contentious year in country. And don't get me wrong: There are virtues to spare.September 12, 2019
Like the songs that weave through nearly every moment of its runtime, the grace, simplicity, and sincerity of Country Music have a way of heightening its epic underpinnings.
