Orthophonic Joy

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.
