Orthophonic Joy
May 3, 2015

Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Marty Stuart, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Ashley Monroe, and many others have teamed with veteran songwriter Rusty Morrell and GRAMMY-winning producer Carl Jackson to celebrate the impact that the 1927 Bristol Sessions had on the Country music industry. "Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited" will be released on Tuesday, May 12th; the album includes re-creations of the original recordings as well as a narration of the 1927 Bristol Sessions history by Opry host Eddie Stubbs.
"My dear fried Rusty Morrell approached me with the idea to produce a project honoring the original 1927 Bristol Session," said Jackson of the project. "He was very aware and fond of a couple of other multi-artist 'tribute' projects I had produced and felt I was the guy who could bring his vision to life. In my opinion, the importance of those 1927 recordings cannot be overstated, and I am truly honored that Rusty asked me to shine a new and loving light on some of those classic works." The album is currently available for pre-orders via iTunes and Amazon. Physical copies will also be made available for purchase at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Bristol, Tennessee beginning Tuesday, May 12th.
