My only beef with the documentary was that it straight up ignored some of the seedier musicians that are a big part of country. Not a single word of David Allen Coe or Johnny Paycheck... Also not enough Marty Robbins... And you and I know that he could've brought it all the way up to the modern day. They did leave the last episode open ended (he did the same thing with Baseball), so maybe it will eventually be expanded. I'm nitpicking here though. I thought it was great. I liked the photo of Sturgill Simpson in the closing of the film.

Yeah, they missed out on them, Don Williams, Conway Twitty, and a few others. There's only so much they could cover, but Conway Twitty? I mean, dude was a hit making machine.
