A History of Country Music

I don't know much about the history of country music, but I've found a long BBC special on it that's interesting. They interview a lot of interesting people. Hank Williams III gets time to talk about his grandfather, for example.



Here's a link to the whole series, about 3 hours or so I'd guess, in 14 videos. The third video covers the great schism of rock from country, which resulted in the Nashville sound.

    I’m glad that it has gotten your attention, but there’s a whole series in the blog archives on the history of country music. I don’t know if I am as good a source as the British Broadcasting Corporation, but if you’d like to compare the accounts it does exist.

      It’s been a while ago; around June or July 2012, I think.
