What Johnny Cash once called "the single most important event in the history of country music" is being celebrated on a new compilation album, out today (May 12th). Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited is a collaborative effort by some of the genre's most notoriously traditional names, including Dolly Parton, Marty Stuart, Brad Paisley, Emmylou Harris and Vince Gill.
The album is backed by the Birthplace of Country Music museum, the Virginia Tourism Corporation, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development and Bristol Convention and Visitors Bureau.??
