Burns, of course, is renowned for his 1990 miniseries "The Civil War" (among many other documentaries). Now, he takes on Vietnam, the unspeakably divisive, horrifically violent conflict that Burns says "we have consciously ignored" for too long. For the music, Burns looked to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who created a thoroughly haunting original score. That music is available here on 2 CDs or triple vinyl. And then, there’s the soundtrack: 2 CDs featuring 38 tracks of rock, folk-rock, soul, art-rock, blues, country and other sounds that were on the air while America roiled over the war: "Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right" Bob Dylan, "Eve of Destruction" Barry McGuire, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" Byrds, "Mustang Sally" Wilson Pickett, "Are You Experienced?" Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Green Onions" Booker T. & the MG’s, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" Procol Harum, "For What It’s Worth" Buffalo Springfield, "The Thrill Is Gone" B.B. King, "Let It Be" Beatles, "Gimme Shelter" Rolling Stones, "Okie from Muskogee" Merle Haggard, "Bad Moon Rising" Creedence Clearwater Revival and more! UMe.
