In the late 1960s, prime-time television in Nashville was dominated by country music. Viewers could surf between the lysergic hayseeds of “The Porter Wagoner Show,” the pastel-colored psychedelia of “Those Singin‘ Swingin’ Stompin' Sensational Stonemans” and a variety of country stars popping up between commercials for beer and laxatives - unfamiliar and surreal. They sit on hay bales or prop themselves up in front of cardboard windmills: Dolly Parton could be conjuring up the horrors of Bedlam ('Daddy Come And Get Me'), Norma Jean could be preaching turbo-charged cautionary tales ('I Wouldn't Buy A Used Car From Him') or George Hamilton IV could be singing the gentle lament 'Urge For Going'. Snake oil and lubricating oil. Primates and prisoners. Hillbillies tout their wares while hillbillies sing heartbreak laments and rebellions of tax slaves, binge drinking barflies and death row f**k ups. In living color on the Boob Tube. Whether lip-synching to playback (with canned applause) or live in the studio with all the bells and whistles - listen to your favorite country music singing stars of yesteryear, broadcast from Music City U.S.A. You've been warned....
