It was interesting for the parts I watched while my wife was watching. I didn't understand why he gave Rosanne Cash and Emmy Lou Harris so much screen time. Then he just gives 90 seconds to George Strait.

Then he just gives 90 seconds to George Strait. Again.... because George Strait doesn’t write his music.... all the artist on that show were just that, artist. George Strait is a singer not an artist or trailblazer or..... just a singer
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

His work is great...to bad he's a dam liberal  That said I was surp[rised that Bristol Tennessee had a huge influence on country music. I'm from that area.

I think that the “screen time” narrators were chosen more based on their historical and/or first hand knowledge of events and people than their own musical prowess.
That said, one of the few knitpicks I had was it did at times seem like the “Johnny Cash Documentary”.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.
