+ The Grand Ole Opry is a weekly country music stage concert in Nashville, Tennessee that has presented the biggest stars of that genre since 1925. It is also among the longest-running broadcasts in history since its beginnings as a one-hour radio "barn dance" on WSM-AM. Dedicated to honoring country music and its history, the Opry showcases a mix of legends and contemporary chart-toppers performing country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, and comedic performances and skits. Considered an American icon, it attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world and millions of radio and Internet listeners. The Opry, today part of the American landscape, is "the show that made country music famous" and has been called the "home of American music" and "country’s most famous stage." In the 1930s, the show began hiring professionals and expanded to four hours; and WSM-AM, broadcasting by then with 50,000 watts, made the program a Saturday night musical tradition in nearly 30 states. In 1939, it debuted nationally on NBC Radio.- WikiPedia Click here to read more about Grand Ole Opry

Featuring all of the existing programs broadcast from 1946 until 1965. Many of the programs are from my original recordings of 16 inch transcriptions that I once owned, and the sound is great! This CD is coded high to preserve the sound. Stars include many Country singers of the time, (Red Foley, Justin & Ernest Tubb, Stringbean, Grandpa Jones, Flatt and Scruggs, and of course, Cousin Minnie Pearl).
