Jack White, T Bone Burnett and Robert Redford will present American Epic, a three-part documentary set to air this fall on PBS and BBC Arena. According to a press release, the film “follows the trail of record company talent scouts from the late 1920s as they toured American with a recording machine to capture the raw expression of an emerging culture whose recordings would lead to the development of blues, country, gospel and more.” American Epic is directed by Bernard MacMahon.

Accompanying the documentary is The American Epic Sessions, a release that features performances from the likes of Alabama Shakes, The Americans, The Avett Brothers, Beck, Frank Fairfield, Ana Gabriel, Rhiannon Giddens, Merle Haggard, Bobby Ingano, Elton John, Auntie Geri Kuhia, Pokey LaFarge, Bettye LaVette, Los Lobos, Lost Bayou Ramblers, Taj Mahal, Steve Martin & Edie Brickell, Fred Martin and The Levite Camp, Ashley Monroe, Nas, Willie Nelson, Charlie Kaleo Oyama, Blind Boy Paxton, Raphael Saadiq, and Jack White.

The release will feature the musicians recording on the same machine that is portrayed in the film. White’s Third Man Records is also releasing a vinyl box set of the sessions.
