WGBH Celebrates Country Music
Love, loss, hard times, redemption. At the heart of every great country music song is a story honoring the joys and heartaches of everyday life, with universal themes that reveal who we’ve been and who we are right now. In September, WGBH celebrates this uniquely American art form, from its deep roots in ballads, blues and hymns to its influence on rock ‘n’ roll and beyond.
