COUNTRY MUSIC- A FILM BY KEN BURNS (THE SOUNDTRACK) – OUT NOW

September 13, 2019

We’re thrilled to announce the soundtrack for Country Music – A Film By Ken Burns (already released on deluxe 5CD boxset, below) is now available on 2CD, 2LP and digital.

The eight-part documentary exploring 20th-century American country music premieres Sunday September 15 on PBS.

The result of eight years of research and production, featuring more than 100 interviewees, 40 of which are Country Music Hall of Famers and 20 of which have since passed away, the documentary charts the course of country music from its beginnings at the start of the 1930s up to its 1990s incarnation.

The comprehensive tracklisting is a who’s who of the genre’s most important and influential figures.
