Lost Highway, a new 4-part series on UK television station BBC2, traces
the history of country music.
The first programme investigated bluegrass. The program featured music
by the Carter Family, the Louvin Bros, Roy Acuff, Ralph Stanley, Bill
Monroe and Jimmie Rodgers, as well as more contemporary artists Ricky
Skaggs and Emmylou Harris.
.
Next Saturday's episode, Honky Tonk, includes a segment on Hank
Williams.
For me, it's unmissable. If you can get BBC2 where you are, and you like
country music, you'll probably think so too.
Accompanying book by Colin Escott.
