New Documentary Project Will Present the Definitive History of Country Music

Posted: Jun 18, 2008

I just got the word that Shout! Factory Records and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum are planning to produce a multi-part original series of specials on the history of country music for television and DVD.

The partners will seek worldwide broadcast distribution with both retaining exclusive worldwide home video and digital rights to this multi-part series, expected to take two years to complete.

Documentarians David Leaf and Morgan Neville will be producing. Under their supervision, a team of filmmakers will tackle a diverse series of themes including - The Roots of Country and Bluegrass, The Honky Tonk Tradition, Outlaw Country, The Nashville Sound, The Politics of Country, Country Songs and Songwriters, California Country, and No Depression, which is a detailed look at the alternative country music movement.

Given the track record I have personally seen from Shout! Factory, I am pretty stoked about the whole project. We'll be watching.

Keep it Real. Keep it Southern.

Melkor hated the Sea, for he could not subdue it. It is said that in the making of Arda he endeavoured to draw Ossë to his allegiance, promising to him all the realm and power of Ulmo, if he would serve him. So it was that long ago there arose great tumults in the sea that wrought ruin to the lands. But Uinen, at the prayer of Aulë, restrained Ossë and brought him before Ulmo; and he was pardoned and returned to his allegiance, to which he has remained faithful. For the most part; for the delight in violence has never wholly departed from him, and at times he will rage in his wilfulness without any command from Ulmo his lord. Therefore those who dwell by the sea or go up in ships may love him, but they do not trust him. Melian was the namelouis vuitton outlet of a Maia who served both Vána and Estë; she dwelt long in Lórien, tending the trees that flower in the gardens of Irmo, ere she came to Middle-earth. Nightingales sang about her wherever she went. Wisest of the Maiar was Olórin. He too dwelt in Lórien, but his ways took himugg boots outlet often to the house of Nienna, and of her he learned pity and patience. Of Melian much is told in the Quenta Silmarillion. But of Olórin that tale does not speak; for though he loved the Elves, he walked among them unseen, or in form as one of them, and they did ugg boots clearancenot know whence came the fair visions or the promptings of wisdom that he put into their hearts. In later days he was the friend of all the Children ofugg boots clearance Ilúvatar, and took pity on their sorrows; and those who listened to him awoke from despair and put away ugg boots clearancethe imaginations of darkness.

I sure hope they give credit to Skynyrd and the other great Southern Rockers. Their influence is undeniable, and today's country would not exist without them.
