 Hillbillies on TV: Ozark JubileeOct 08, 2009
By Patricia A. Oleary
"pao"
Nice video but the quality was not as good as I was hoping. It is not really much better than what I already have. It is just a slight upgrade for me. But, I am still glad to get the video. And, it is nice to have some old footage of Red Foley and some others along with Brenda Lee which is the reason I purchased the DVD.
As for the seller, it was a good transaction and the DVD was received in less than a week after purchasing. I would purchase again from this seller.

 Back In Good Ole Boy (And Girl) Television DaysSep 19, 2009
By Alfred Johnson
Okay, okay laugh at me. What is a certified urban-dwelling boy who gets nervous when he cannot see the bright lights of the city nearby , or the road is not macadam, doing reviewing some Podunk black and white television show featuring Red Foley, Brenda Lee and Rex Allen? That bill of fare is not exacting The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Doors and a host of other musicians that I have reviewed in this space.
Well let me say this first for all you "effete" snobs. Many years ago I used to listen to a radio program on Saturday mornings called "Hillbilly At Harvard". That program featured many of the artists like Norman Blake, June Carter, Townes Van Zandt and a host of iconic figures in mountain music, outlaw country music, folk and other genres that are "hip" today. So to paraphrase an old cliché what is good enough for Harvard is good enough for this reviewer. Got it?
Seriously, though, I picked up this DVD as part of the continuing string of reviews that I have been doing highlighting the mountain music traditions that are part of my heritage that I had previously scorned. However, like many things, not all "mountain" music and musicians are created equal. That, sadly, is the case here as the performances and chitchat of this country variety show format, for the most part, set my teeth on edge. There are two exceptions, one is the performance of a rapid fire traditional banjo player whose name I do not remember and the other is hearing Sonny James doing his 1950s teen hit classic, "Young Love". Should you get this thing? NO, except the old time commercials for Beechnut gum and Clorets for you breathe seemed really quaint against today' s high-powered subliminally sex and power -driven attempts to interest you in some product. When I am mentioning the virtues of the commercials I think that tells the tale on this one.
Note: I usually, particularly for the old black and white productions whose graininess and almost amateur production values by today's standards are part of the visual charm for me, do not comment on the technical quality of a film. However, on this one the lack of quality definitely interfered with the flow of the work.
