Just a heads-up that the digital Beeb are re-running "The Lost Highway" series, on successive Friday nights (followed by some Loretta Lynn & then Marvin Gaye). Blurb sez:

9.00pm             Lost Highway: The Story of Country Music Documentary exploring the roots of country music, revitalised by the popular bluegrass soundtrack to Hollywood film O Brother, Where Art Thou? The opening programme explains how the genre was reinvented for a contemporary audience, featuring reconstructions of early material and specially shot performances by leading artists including Emmylou Harris. With contributions from Willie Nelson, Gillian Welch, Ralph Stanley and Kris Kristofferson (Stereo)
10.00pm         Sing Country: Loretta Lynn Special
10.30pm         Originals Profiling the life and work of inspirational musician Marvin Gaye
