Ken burns country episode 7 mp4 download

It was great to see Guy Clark and Townes get substantial coverage, and to learn how Emmylou Harris became a convert to country music. Crsync September 25, am. It was a bit of influence on the music but major influence on the business. For my money…. I lived in Quito Ecuador during the Urban Cowboy period. It was so big that local stations here started playing country music. Even heard George Jones. For awhile it really impacted the global music scene.

Mike Honcho September 25, pm. My father in law was in the western wear business when Urban Cowboy came out. He had a lot in common with Bud, as he was an insulator on the refineries in Houston when he was younger. He made a fortune selling hats and boots to city slickers. Urban Cowboy was a huge deal. Just ask Johnny Lee. Happens quite a lot. Refresh the page and the new ones come back. Same thing happens sometimes when posting a comment. It has always been like that for me. Kevin Carlson September 26, am.

JK September 25, am. But Gram and Emmylou have been huge ambassadors for country, and deserved recognition. LA September 26, pm. In agreement about the ending; I sat on my couch and blubbered like a 2 yr old. It was that kind of golden, full-circle moment that you cant make up. But the part that got me was more about the song and the craft, rather than the performers. I get a chill every time I think about it.

Definitely my fave part of this series, followed closely by the Kristofferson and Hank, Sr portions. Doug September 26, pm. Definitely agree — as one who was into Gram when he was the name and Emmylou was the supporting singer, it was surprising and interesting to hear how much credit she gets from others Dwight, for instance for keeping country alive and vibrant.

Keith has talked forever about how important Gram was to him. LoL, this is not where I posted this. I was replying to dukeroberts. Seems like the old girl is having a rough day. Trigger September 26, am. Trying to keep these comments clean of spam take a tremendous effort.

An excellent episode, and yes Willie, we see your stupid hat. This was a great rebound from the prior episode. Doug T September 25, am. So much talent. They could spend tonight on Georgia Florida line.

They did right by my favorites last night. Dobe Daddy September 25, am. The list of people left out has to include Glen Campbell, too.

He got maybe five seconds in part 6 as a guy with a variety show, rather than one of the biggest stars in country at the time 2 consecutive awards for both ACM Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year. He opened the doors to country-pop crossover as much as anyone.

JM September 25, am. This was my favorite of the later episodes , since a lot of my favorites got covered. Honestly, if the documentary had been Neither Gary Stewart nor Dean Dillon get a mention. I was bummed that the Oak Ridge Boys only get a short shoutout in Ep.

TilBillyHill September 25, pm. And Dwight could talk about country music history and influences for 20 hours. I have been looking forward to this since I heard Burns was making it. And yet, I was almost afraid to watch. I knew it would bring a surge of adrenaline, a few critiques, and dozens of rabbit holes. Luckyoldsun September 25, am. This one did not. The story, as Waylon told it, was that he was originally supposed to be on the flight but did not get on, due to the plane being full.

Does not sound likely. Luckyoldsun September 25, pm. Hag had just gone to sleep on his bus around 4 in the morning.

But the original cut was already on the way to production by then. Great story. Kevin Smith September 25, am. Willie and Merle have both mentioned this story. I am unsure which studio they recorded it in but it was a studio and Willie indeed got Merle out of bed and a sleepy Merle managed to record his piece of the song in one take!

Waylon gave his seat up and opted to take a bus, telling a miffed Holly he hoped his plane crashed after Holly told him he hoped he froze on the bus. You are correct, Waylon never even stepped onto the plane. He and Townes were friends and Townes played several of his Fourth of July picnics.

RecordMan September 25, pm. Willie is famous for recording at all hours of the night. Good to see Freddy Fender and Flaco. I love their music. Joe September 25, am. Jerry Jeff Walker may loom large in a discussion of Texas outlaw country music in the s. Kevin Smith September 26, am. Love Jerry Jeff but I gotta agree. He is a name in Texas and in outlaw and songwriter circles, although superstardom eluded him.

Michael Murphey also was a part of the Outlaw movement, he was the original Cosmic Cowboy , although he sadly gets typecast as the Wildfire guy. Probably too obscure for this documentary though. We can all nitpick this thing to death, but understand it was Burns deal and it was made for the PBS audience, not neccesarily us hardcore fans of the music. Joe September 26, am. I guess all I would say to that is if Burns is going to spot light Townes and Guy he should also spotlight Jerry Jeff.

A nice fist pumping moment was when Emmylou talked about wanting to push the boundaries of country music while still paying respect to traditional country music. JG September 25, am. Want attention paid to Townes Van Zandt and his fellow songwriters? And of course, covering Outlaw Country was mandatory. I have really enjoyed what he has brought to the show and wanted to mention it. Chris September 25, am. I feel Conway Twitty is underappreciated at the moment.

Trigger September 25, pm. Twitty City, which was supposed to enshrine his legacy, was sold off to television evangelists. MJ September 25, am. Nunn rated a 3-second shout-out in that section. And George Strait deserves at least 5 full minutes on his own, consistently charting 1s for most of his career, his sound never bowing to the trends at any point I suppose, without any drama in his story, he is less compelling…. Ending the production in gives no chance to discuss other things that have pushed country music in the American consciousness.

My daughter, age 23, is a huge fan of the movie and soundtrack and loves bluegrass, in large part as a result of her exposure through these vehicles. I thought the same about no mention of trucking songs as a sub genre. Robert Ligon September 25, am. While Hazel Smith and the various small stories about Outlaw country were entertaining, I think the overarching narrative was missing.

I expected more. Although it is subjective, I contend that this documentary channels its vision on artists and events that changed the trajectory of the genre. For example, Waylon changed the trajectory like few before or after him in how he approached the business side of it. Hank Jr. And yes, there will be another mention of Cash on it. He is way over-exposed. Probably one legitimate gripe I have is not focusing more on the gospel roots that influenced the genre, especially in the beginning but continues to day, albeit to a lesser extent.

We saw it in the lyrics of yester-year and we still see it today. We see it in the collective biographical histories of various artists yesterday and still see it today. There was a time when every country album included a gospel song. Not a blues song, but a gospel song. From Hank to Travis Tritt to Alabama and beyond, it is ingrained into the fabric of the history of country music like no other influence, in my humble opinion. Mike Honcho September 25, am.

The series should be called eight degrees of separation from JR Cash. This could have been a feast, but feels like a weight watchers meal. I would like to see something like this done by somebody that actually knows Country Music. Johnny Cash played a very marginal role in Episode 7, as well as 1, 2, and 3. Yes, he was mentioned a couple of times, but that was it. Episode 6 is where it went too far. This whole thing is obviously built around him.

He is well known outside of Country Music, so neophytes may believe he is more important than he is. God damn, that George and Tammy could tear your heart out with their delivery. I had to listen to them today since it had been awhile. Zeno September 25, am.

There is a dispute around what the real intentions were of Charlie Rich burning the card. His son says that Rich meant no malice in the situation to John, and regretted it. Others say that he was just drunk, and would have burned it no matter who won. Rich had recently been in an accident, and was on pain pills at the time. Zebb September 25, pm. Behind Closed Doors is pretty much a crooner type song — but a great one.

The Most Beautiful Girl even better, imo. Sally October 25, pm. I just saw a repeat of the Depression-era episode and they talk about how Gene Autry came in and added all the Western costuming and cowboy stuff.

John Denver was the real deal, but he was never accepted by the country music industry not to mention a lot of the elites of this country. All I can say is shame on Ken Burns. It seems like a pretty narrow, maybe even romanticized version of Country. Dee September 25, am. I really like this episode particularly that they talked about Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark who are often overlooked.

It took me years to appreciate country music, even though I grew up in Hendersonville Tn and was surrounded by it possibly the reason. Brandon September 25, pm. Conrad Fisher September 26, am. Great point Albert. I think about this a lot.

Tony Bennet is in his 90s, still dressing like he did in the beginning, and it still works. Luke Roman September 25, pm. B September 25, pm. Of course not everyone could have possibly made the final cut of the series.

For those that have grown up with this, of course the light shines a little differently. For those that are encountering this rich detailed history for the very first time, the lights have now come on.

Johnny T September 25, pm. A great Episode 7 — but a glaring omission of Jerry Jeff Walker is a concerning gap of history and country legacy. Convict charlie September 25, pm. Watching episode 7 currently. No mention so far of vern gosdin in the series that I can recall. I hope he gets a mention. Looking forward to the final episode.

Hoping a lot of time is spent on the impact of randy Travis, Alabama, and Keith Whitley. From the comments looks like a lot of time will be spent on garth. It as been an exhilarating experience. Charlie September 26, am. I agree. John September 25, pm.

The makers know country fans will tune in anyway. People with a disilke of country will ignore it. I know my music history enough to appreciate the impact of the Carter family Hank Williams and Dolly Parton on American culture.

But I digress. That the episodes are inspiring me to search would probably please the film makers. The Red Barron September 25, pm. I think Burns does a really, really solid job on this doc. My wishes: 1. Slightly less time on folk. Slightly less time on Cash. Again, obviously influential. But mentioned and highlighted A LOT. King Honky Of Crackershire September 25, pm. As a documentary on C c ountry music, this thing has gone predictably off the rails. I knew episode 7 would be joke before the intro was over, when they compared the legacy of Rosanne Cash to that of Hank Jr.

Erik North September 25, pm. JM September 25, pm. Jack Williams September 25, pm. I think it goes without saying that a lifelong passionate country music fan is going to know more about country music than Ken Burns, who has admitted to not knowing much about it before undertaking a SEVERAL YEAR effort to produce a lovingly made mammoth documentary series on country music, for which I am very grateful.

King Honky Of Crackershire September 26, am. Jack Williams September 26, pm. Ok, Honky. But I think we already knew based on what Ken Burns said before the airing of the documentary that his goal was to tell a story about country music and not necessarily to produce the definitive video document on country music. He is more of a popular historian e. Or interview people like Charlie Daniels and Hank Jr. And I applaud him for that. And when he was doing those media interviews where some here accused of apologizing, I think he was standing up for country music in his smooth, political way.

Like you, I wished there was a lot more on Lefty Frizzell. I agree that someone who had as many hits as he apparently had merited much more than a passing mention. Squonk September 25, pm. If Doug Sahm has received an hour of screen time, that would have been more than anyone but Hank Williams and Johnny Cash.
