Opry Video Classics: Legends
The greatest collection of vintage live country music performances ever assembled. Most of these historic recordings have never before been available commercially. This series offers fans a first-class ticket to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville to experience the golden age of country music—from the ‘50s to the ‘70s—and witness the evolution of a sound that still resonates today.
What makes a country star a legend? How about instant recognition on a first-name-only basis, like George (Jones) performing White Lightning, or Johnny (Cash) doing Ring of Fire. Legends has all the top draws, from Marty Robbins’s El Paso, to Patsy Cline’s Crazy, to Faron Young’s Hello Walls. Throw in some medleys by Jim (Reeves) and Willie (Nelson), and you have a bonafide “Who’s Who” of country music artists.
