BBC Four - Country at the BBC

With Tammy Wynette, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell and more.

Compilation of BBC archive performances by country artists, including Tammy Wynette, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, Emmylou Harris and Glen Campbell.

Grab your partner by the hand - the BBC have raided their archive and brought to light glittering performances by country artists over the last four decades. 

Star appearances include Tammy Wynette, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash and, of course, Dolly Parton. All the greats have performed for the BBC at some point - on entertainment shows, in concert and at the BBC studios. Some of the rhinestones revealed are Charley Pride's Crystal Chandeliers from The Lulu Show, Emmylou Harris singing Together Again on The Old Grey Whistle Test and Glen Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy from The Val Doonican Music Show. 

We're brought up to date with modern country hits from Top of the Pops and Later...with Jools Holland.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
