By far Ken Burns' most entertaining documentary to date.

This epic, essential survey is both a history lesson of an American art form and 20th century U.S.A. itself.

So whatever your thoughts about country music, expect to be immensely entertained, educated and even edified throughout this master course in pickin', grinnin' -- and so very much more.

Burns and his team are in superb voice as they sing the praises of country music and those legendary talents who popularized it. As with any successful song, they really put their hearts into it.

For its running time, Burns effectively steers this wagon across country music's diverging timelines.

It makes the series' virtues and failings starker that it happens to have debuted in such a contentious year in country. And don't get me wrong: There are virtues to spare.

Compared to the best of the Burns-PBS collaborations, it drones on in a way that isn't equal to the high expectations and fanfare associated with Burns' epic made-for-public-TV ballads.
