​To launch its six-part limited series taking a close look at the Bush family, CNN took a two-pronged approach.

First, the network played up the nostalgia of one of America’s longest-running and most influential political families by setting a spot to Jim Croce’s iconic “I Got A Name.” Relying on archival footage and photos, the spot gives viewers some personal glimpses of the family.

For political junkies, a second spot (below) is set to Barns Courtney’s thumping “Glitter and Gold”:

The result is a campaign that captures both sides of a family everyone already thinks they know. The Bush Years premieres on CNN at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, March 3.
