\u201cCountry Music\u201d is an eight-part, 16-hour series that follows the evolution of the genre over the course of the 20th<\/sup> century as it eventually emerges to become \u201cAmerica\u2019s music.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cAt the heart of every great country music song is a story,\u201d said Ken Burns. \u201cAs the songwriter Harlan Howard said, \u2018It\u2019s three chords and the truth.\u2019 The common experiences and human emotions speak to each of us about love and loss, about hard times and the chance of redemption. As an art form, country music is also forever revisiting its history, sharing and updating old classics and celebrating its roots, which are, in many ways, foundational to our country itself.\u201d<\/p>\n The screening will be followed by a brief lecture from Professor Frank Minor, one of GHC\u2019s most senior faculty members. Minor, a country music expert, will also lead a Q&A discussion after his talk.<\/p>\n GHC\u2019s Cartersville library is excited to host the event.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is a fantastic opportunity for GHC to partner with GPB and offer an enriching, educational event to visitors,\u201d Campus Librarian Jessica Osborne said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be both educational and entertaining.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Burns has captivated American audiences for nearly 30 years with his groundbreaking documentary series on topics ranging from baseball and jazz to the Civil War and the Prohibition era.
