1994- “Rhythm Country & Blues” unites the music of Memphis and
Nashville by pairing performers such as Lyle Lovett and Al Green,
Trisha Yearwood and Aaron Neville, and George Jones and B.B.
King. It takes a look at the recording sessions that
resulted in a collection that artfully and gracefully transcends the
boundaries of race, radio, and record companies.
Also
featured is archival footage that places these musical styles in
historical context and underscores their cultural importance to the
American music scene.
