Ken Burns Goes Country

PBS

For over 40 years, documentarian Ken Burns has examined the Civil War, the Vietnam War and the history of jazz in painstakingly-researched films.

Now, Burns is turning his attention to country music in an eight-part series debuting on PBS in September.

During a visit to Aspen this week, Aspen Public Radio’s Craig Kopp asked Burns the question many have posed to him since the country music project was launched.
