Ken Burns: "Country Music Is About Two Four-Letter Words"
In modern music, perhaps no other style is more quintessentially American than country music. Legendary documentary filmmaker Ken Burns has turned his attention to this art form in his new series, “Country Music,” in which he explores the remarkable stories of the people and places behind the genre. He joins Walter Isaacson to discuss what surprised him most about the journey.
