KEN BURNS NARRATOR SERIES

Interviews with Rosanne Cash, Marty Stuart, and Dolly Parton are just a few of the stars included in this year’s ‘Country Music.’ The docuseries will air on PBS every Friday at 9 p.m., and it will be available to viewers who were unable to watch Ken Burns’ previous film, Country Music. You will never forget it and you shouldn't.The commercial features country music legends Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris, as well as contemporary artists such as Kacey Musgraves and Brad Paisley. You also see the very dark side of human nature which the film doesn't soften, through the narrative and photos of the dead and wounded, the prison camps, the devastation of the towns and countrysides. Ken Burns' choice of narrators was exceptional and I loved the way he told the story through the letters of the soldiers, their loved ones, the politicians and the commanders: you feel their pain, frustration, pride, desolation, fear, hope and their humor. I have lent it to several family members and friends, some of whom did not think it would be so compelling and came away with a deeper understanding for the conflict. Just as a good book offers new insight each time it is read, so it is with this film. I bought the DVD's because, although I watched the film when it first appeared on Public Television, it is such a magnificent and comprehensive presentation of the Civil War, it needs to be watched at least once a year.

Ken Burns' The Civil War: You Will Never Forget It. This boxed set of five disks is about 11 hours of viewing time. The bonus DVD includes a Conversation with Ken Burns, battlefield maps, biography cards, and other features.

The delightful Southern Drawl of Shelby Foote keeps one mesmarized with his depth of understanding and captivating, relaxed humor. Interviews by some of the most esteemed Civil War historians and scholars adds a balanced presentation of both the North and the South. The musical theme, repeated frequently throughout, helps convey the idea this was a long war. The use of mostly black and white is fitting. Ken Burns, like no other, tells the story of the Civil War in an engaging format using photos by Mathew B.
