- Synopsis:
America's music legacy, be it Blues, Jazz, Country, Rock, R&B or Folk are the songs and artists who have a special power to express what words alone cannot: hopes, fears, dreams, love, hate, anger, pride, aspirations and disappointments. Because songs span the breadth of human experience, they are uniquely able to communicate across time and space the beliefs and ideas held by their composers, performers and listeners. Rock-a-Billy, Country, and Bluegrass all came from the simple form of story telling by music and modern Country and Western music has its roots in the folk songs of the rural south and the cowboy music popularized by the singing cowboys of the 30's, 40's and 50's. Moving from the rural areas it found a home on the radio nationwide predominantly from Nashville on the Grand Ole Opry finding a broader audience as Country Music began to move from "hillbilly Music" to the more sophisticated and polished form that exists today. - Actors:
