Country Music Crossroads (1988) (TV)

Great music knows no boundaries. CMT Crossroads shows the far-reaching roots of country music by pairing country artists with musicians from other genres. Each episode will feature a different set of stars playing together, swapping stories and sharing their common love of music.

In this compilation episode jointly hosted by The Oak Ridge Boys and Marie Osmond you'll see professional opera singer and soap opera actor Gary Morris prove that fashion is a bitch. Two nice ballads then on to Texas rocker Steve Earle, long hair and headband with a sleeveless black t-shirt making nice with the multi-generational country music audience by singing about a '66 Chevy. In another segment the legendary songwriter Harlan Howard introduces one of his proteges, Nancy Griffith who sings, "Never Mind", a new song by Mr. Howard. A couple of songs later Lee Greenwood sings a cover of The Four Tops hit, "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch" and it's white like a snowstorm. Next is a little "Touch and Go Crazy" and then the great Ricky Scaggs takes the stage and it's "Bluegrass Time". After an intermission the young and beautiful Marie Osmond takes the stage with her band and sings a ballad called "I Only Wanted You" and it's just as pretty. Ms. Osmond is a '59er as am I (and my wife also) so I pretty much grew up with her and she's always been a big crush. After her stint she introduces one of the "new" country music stars, Randy Travis (also born in 1959). Funny thing about Randy, he still looks the same today! Over 20 years later and his boyish good looks still ring true. Fun stuff even if the songs aren't recognizable, at least by this guy. The band Restless Hearts plays two of their hits before the boys from Oak Ridge take the stage to close the show with some of their four part harmonies. Good stuff and great nostalgic fun.

Opryland's Country Christmas (1996) (TV)

Christmas special featuring country music stars of the day celebrating Nashville's holiday traditions in an eclectic blend of Christmas songs performed in a variety of styles including country, blues, folk, pop, bluegrass, rock and gospel. Don't look for the classics, this is full of traditional and original with a definite focus on faith and family. It must be said that it is refreshing to hear a holiday themed show and not be burdened with amateurish arrangements of tired "classics" or insultingly childish retellings of that same tiredness. This is very satisfying as standard fare or holiday listening, it excels both ways.

Opryland's Country Christmas (1996) (TV)

Cast: Clint Black, Wynonna Judd, Patty Loveless, Barbara Mandrell, Lorrie Morgan, LeAnn Rimes, Kenny Rogers, Marty Stuart, Jerry Sullivan, Tammy Sullivan, Hank Williams Jr.

Opryland's Country Christmas (1994) (TV)

The only thing to not like about this is the one hour runtime. This could easily have been twice as long. Greatly appreciated effort from all the participants but with a little somethin' somethin' via the great Neil Diamond and his background singers, The Soul Children of Chicago.

All these Opryland productions are excellent, with wide ranging entertainment fit for the whole family, from upbeat toe-tappers to heartfelt blues. Good stuff all around and more the sentimental for the Christmas themes and imagery. Imagery such as Banjo Santa, for instance.

Women of Country, The (1993) (TV)

Special on the history of women in country music, featuring music performances, interviews, and vintage footage.

This is fantastic and apparently pretty rare since I couldn't find but scant info. Lots of history, lots of classic old faces, nameless to me but I'm sure emotional to others. Great music, great archival footage and best of all the words from the women themselves, many of whom have left us by now. If they were alive, female and singing country, they're here. Absolute must-see for country music fans.

Cast: Emmylou Harris, The Judds, Patsy Montana, Linda Ronstadt, Kathy Mattea, Jeannie C. Reilly
