2 CD’s - Running Time 1hr 46 minutes
Here
in two audio CD's, is the history of country music, a fascinating
story told by one of radio's premier announcers, Hairl Hensley.
Country music grew up in the mountains of Appalachia, in the
cotton fields of Georgia and Mississippi, the car and truck plants
in Detroit and in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. It was… and… is
the music of the people.
Hairl Hensley tells of Jimmy Rodgers and the Carter Family; of
Bob Wills and Ernest Tubb, whose music played in honky tonks… and
Roy Acuff whose music was heard in Madison Square Garden; of the
Girls of the Golden West, but also of Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire.
It all started on June 14, 1923, when Fiddlin' John Carson played "The
Old Hen Cackled…"
