| Summary |
Folk Revival: As rock and roll sweeps the country, country musicians and songwriters, searching for a softer sound, turn increasingly to the roots of country music centered in American folk songs. Out of this search emerges the discovery of regional country music such as Appalachian, Bluegrass and Cajun music. Presents the careers of Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, The Carter Family, The Kingston Trio, The Stoneman Family, Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and other country entertainers of the 1960s. -- Rockabilly to Rockin' the Country: Investigates the interrelations between the three types of authentic American music: Country, gospel and blues and examines the legacy of country music to other music forms. Looks at singers like Elvis Presley, Brenda Lee, Charlie Daniels, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash. Jerry Lee Lewis introduced Rockabilly music, followed by other country rock musicians, and more recent contemporary crossover country sounds as exemplified by the Byrds, Emmylou Harris, and Brooks & Dunn. |
