So far this has been typical Ken Burns which means that it is awesome.
I had always heard of The Carter Family before . . . Holy Shit! I had NO idea how deep their impact was on Country Music. Same thing with Bill Monroe, that's a name I had heard but never knew he was the one that created Bluegrass.
My favorite line so far was Merle Haggard's comment on the wild Bakersfield Honky Tonks, 25 of them, all of which had a band and some of them had live bands 24 hours a day. "If you were to bring somebody back from the dead that lived at that time and turned 'em loose right now, they'd be in jail in an hour."
