Lost Highway: The History of American Country Pt. 1

Segment: The Road to Nashville
The roots of Nashville's position at the heart of country music lie with the honky tonk heroes who moved from the bars of the Southeast to the Grand Ole Opry. "The Road to Nashville" moves from the inspired and mournful sound of Hank Williams to the birth of Chet Atkins and Owen Bradley's smoother "Nashville Sound," in response to the rise of rock 'n' roll. Featured artists in this episode include Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Ray Price, Jim Reeves, Ernest Tubb, Eddy Arnold and Brenda Lee.

down from the mountain isn't part of this documentary - this is the first part as it was broadcast on the BBC.

Thanks for posting this! So glad to see that there are other fans of true music out there!

I loved this. Thanks so much for posting the "Road to Nashville" segments of this great country music documentary. Do you have the first portion of the documentary which covers the history of very early country (the Carters and Jimmie Rodgers). I believe the first segement of the documentary is titled "Down from the Mountain." I've not found it elsewhere.
