Negative Positive
Title: Once in a Lifetime Gathering of Country Queens
Review: This program deserves ten stars but this tape is getting only four because this two-hour CBS special from 1993 has been cut in half and issued on two separate tapes. Way better than the recent A&E documentary HAIRDOS AND HEARTACHES on the same subject (women in country music history) in part because so many more singers from all eras are interviewed here and this one features music performances performed especially for the show including an awesome all-star performance of Mary Chapin Carpenter's "The Hard Way" sung by Carpenter, Wynona, Trisha Yearwood, Tammy Wynette, Emmylou Harris, Kathy Mattea, Pam Tillis, and others and including backup chorus of dozens of historic country divas including Kitty Wells, Patsy Montana, Skeeter Davis, Connie Smith, Jeannie C. Riley, Lynn Anderson, Wanda Jackson, and many others. Here's hoping this program will find it's way to DVD in full - and hopefully with many extras.
