1997 All Time Legends of Country Music: A Best of
Austin City Limits Special |
From the center stage of Austin
City Limits, country music star and Nashville
progeny Pam Tillis narrates a trip down country music's memory
lane in "All-Time Legends of Country Music A Best of Austin City Limits
Special."
As the eldest daughter of Mel Tillis, one of
country music's most recognizable entertainers, Pam Tillis
grew up in the midst of the Nashville's music boom. For
"All-Time Legends of Country Music" she introduces more than a
dozen classic performances by the musicians who shaped country
music as art and industry including Chet Atkins, Glen
Campbell, Marty Robbins, Loretta Lynn and many others. The
special alsoincludes rare footage and archival photographs of
these extraordinary performers recorded by Austin City Limits.
As songwriters, producers and performers these
talented artists represent the pillars of America's most
popular style of music. Their songs, from Robbins' border
ballad "El Paso" to Brenda Lee's sympathetic "I'm Sorry," are
among the most familiar, best-selling and highly awarded tunes
in pop.
With homespun lyrics, traditional melodies and
remarkable musicianship, their modern music influenced
generations to come while drawing on many old music
traditions. |
