960 minutes to listen to songs from over the years

As with any collection or documentary, there will always be some inclusions or exclusions that do not make sense. We also have whether to the benefit or detriment of the listener, a selection that must be made by the presenter.
That being said, this is an excellent collection of music and history to help those who have a scant background understand the phenomenon of country music. For those who are already immersed in country music, it helps put a perspective and possibly an emphasis on the genre.
I was introduced to this program on PBS, and do not tell anybody but I recorded it. After several listening sessions, I realized that I wanted to keep a permanent copy. I now find myself even listening to this in the car. I still skip to most of my favorites, but I am learning to appreciate some of the overlooked artists and songs.
I strongly suggest that you purchase a copy of this, and you will find most of your favorite artists and songs, along with a well-integrated history of country music.
Did I forget to mention it is all in the title “Ken Burns: Country Music”
Love the Doc, Disappointed in DVD “Set”

I love this documentary, however I was disappointed to find that what I thought was a great deal on the entire documentary series was actually just disc 6. This was very misleading, and now I’ll have to get the whole thing somewhere else.
