The Hillbilly Shakespeare

Songwriter Charley Sandage and acoustic musician Tim Crouch, fiddle player for Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson and others discuss with host Bob Robbins the third episode of Ken Burns "Country Music." The bluegrass sound spreads in post-war America, and honky-tonk star Hank Williams sings songs of surprising emotional depth that are derived from his troubled and tragically short life.
