Best Ken Burns documentaries

I enjoyed the Roosevelts

Baseball and The Civil War are notches above the rest.

I enjoyed the National Parks series.

His Huey P Long one is good. It’s neat to hear stories from older people in the 1980s who were part of the administration, the media, who voted for him, or hated him in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Since I worked in the French Quarter from 19 to 32, I was particularly fascinated by his "Jazz" documentary.

To see this new sound's humble beginnings, watch it catch fire through rising stars, then to watch FQ-born Louis Armstrong outshine them all and deliver it to the world, was quite satisfying. Wynton Masalis' commentary throughout is very insightful. He's as much of a historian as he is a musician (almost like a player-coach.)

Then they cover it's further evolution from 4 to 7-piece bands, to big bands, to jazz crooners, to progressive jazz, to fusion jazz, etc. If any of that interests you, you might enjoy this Jazz documentary.

Country music.

His last one about how Americans were responsible for the holocaust was insulting and I feel like Ken could go run backwards naked through a cornfield pretty easily.

If you're a fan of country music and its history, then his "Country Music" series in 8 parts I believe is great viewing.

It starts with "The Carter Family" and progresses through the years each series and stops before it gets to "Country Pop" crap that is pretty much being produced today.

All the old time greats are featured and the commentary by various stars makes for excellent viewing.
