“For me, this collection of great songs truly captures the spirit of the Opry and our centennial celebration,” Dan Rogers, Executive Vice President and Executive Producer of the Grand Ole Opry, said in a statement. “These songs, voted on by Opry fans, come to life through remarkable live performances pulled from our rich archives. From debuts of songs that went on to become classics, to covers of past Opry members’ standards by current members of the cast, to vocal collaborations so perfect it’s hard to believe they were recorded live just one time, I believe the project is truly historic.”
