    I am originally from Nashville and grew up on country music, so I am predisposed to like this! And I do! The documentary film series was excellent, and these music CDs bring it all to life.

    This five CD soundtrack is simply superb and is a fantastic way to document the history and development of country music. It is great value for money and comes with a glossy and informative booklet.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 5 étoiles pour la musique, carton rouge pour le packaging !
    Reviewed in France on 29 January 2021
    Magnifique compilation country, le son est excellent !
    Le packaging est désastreux et mérite un carton rouge, extraire les cd sans les rayer relève de l'exploit !
    Moi je sacrifie le contenant avec des ciseaux pour ne pas rayer mes disques !
    Honte à légacy !
    Même si ce n'est pas la première fois on se demande quel esprit tordu a pu concevoir un tel packaging !

    I really enjoyed the whole set. It's a makes the documentary a fuller experience. I often tell others that they miss so much by listening to top 40 radio only.
