Ken Burns is working on a new project called Country Music, PBS announced today. The multi-episode documentary series will air in 2018, which is a pretty long time from now! But one does not rush PBS, and one does not rush explorations of the origins and fundamentals of country music, and one certainly does not rush America’s most noble documentarian Ken Burns. His iconic ten-episode miniseries about jazz aired all the way back in 2001, though many people are just getting around to finishing it now.
