Episode 7 | “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?” (1973 – 1983)
Defining country music is debated as never before, but the argument sparks a vibrant era that makes room for new voices and attitudes. Dolly Parton strikes out on her own and becomes the most famous and successful woman in country music. George Jones and Tammy Wynette seemingly live out their songs’ tragic lyrics – and create country masterpieces. Hank Williams Jr. and Rosanne Cash emerge from their famous fathers’ shadows, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings launch the “Outlaw” movement, and Emmylou Harris bridges folk, rock, and country in a way that will influence a new generation of artists.
