Various Artists - Louisiana Hayride: Cradle of the Stars [DVD]

Louisiana Hayride is a unique hour long documentary exploring the Shreveport, Louisiana musical roots of some of country music's biggest stars, such as Hank Williams Sr, Elvis, Johnny Cash, George Jones and many more.

Made up of old photographs, film clips and live transcriptions of old radio shows the Louisiana Hayride DVD is narrated by Hank Williams Jr. and tells the story of the show and place rather than the artists.

Originally the Louisiana Hayride was a radio show giving up and coming performers a chance to perfect their art in front of a weekly live audience. In the show's peak years between 1948-1958 the radio programme spawned almost as many country music stars as Nashville's famous Grand Ole Opry.
