Time Life and the Grand Ole Opry are proud to partner on this 8-DVD box set. We re unlocking a treasure -trove of classic country music for the first time with the amazing release of these vintage concerts, filmed live on-stage at the mother church of country music, the Ryman Auditorium. Just like a front row seat, this ultimate concert will surely be a country music fan's dream come to own Opry Video Classics Collector's Box. This 8-DVD box set, compiled by Time-Life Books and the folks at the Grand Ole Opry, collects 120 video performances by many of the greatest country musicians of the 1950s, '60s and '70s. Each disc includes fifteen live performances (and no lip-syncing, as far as I can tell...) along with bonus features such as interviews with various Opry veterans. The material is drawn from old Opry TV broadcasts and other venues such as "The Bobby Lord Show" and other, long-forgotten shows that were the country equivalents of "Soul Train" and "American Bandstand." The video quality is very good and the sound quality is excellent it's a chance to see stars such as Bill Anderson, Patsy Cline, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrell, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Webb Pierce, Ray Price, Porter Wagoner, Tammy Wynette and many, many others playing at the peak of their powers. In many cases they were also at the start of their careers, and just starting to learn the ropes. The set also includes a surprisingly strong representation of lesser-known artists, folks like Bill Phillips, Jeannie Seely, Jeannie Pruett and others, great singers who were hitmakers many years ago, but are remembered only by a few fans today. This is a marvelous collection that truly honors the history of country music (and of the Nashville music business) without cutting corners or playing it safe. The discs also are offered individually, organized by themes that are actually quite useful. Some of the most rewarding volumes are the "Pioneers" set, "Queens Of Country" and the "Duets" disc, which features many gems, among them a bluesy performance from Patsy Cline, who sang with other artists live, but never actually recorded any duets on record. If you want a fun, high-class collection that shows many of the biggest stars in Nashville playing real, honest country music, this collection is a true gift. Highly recommended!

The heat’s coming from the TV screen when legendary country stars team up in Duets. Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn and Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton light up the stage. Newlyweds Johnny Cash & June Carter are “hotter than a pepper sprout” in Jackson, while George Jones & Tammy Wynette perform The Ceremony and renew the wedding vows of their tempestuous marriage. Sweet, sweet harmonies. Approximate Running Time: 55 Minutes. Grand Ole Opry: Hall Of Fame Back in 1961, the Country Music Association founded the Country Music Hall of Fame to recognize the top artists, songwriters, broadcasters and executives in the business. The Hall of Fame set honors the illustrious Class of ’73—Chet Atkins and Patsy Cline—with Chet’s instrumental hit Yakety Axe and Patsy’s Imagine That. Johnny Cash appears twice, while Wille Nelson in Mr. Record Man shows his rarely seen pre-outlaw, clean-cut side. Approximate Running Time: 55 Minutes. Grand Ole Opry: Honky-Tonk Heroes Honky-Tonk Heroes features the classic songs and artists that stoked the jukeboxes and crowds eager to have a good time. Nobody got things rolling better than Ernest Tubb with Walking the Floor Over You or Ray Price in Heartaches By the Number. Any joint worth its sawdust on the floor had to play Dave Dudley’s Six Days on the Road and George Jones’s The Race Is On—records that move spirit and keep the spirits flowing. Approximate Running Time: 51 Minutes. Grand Ole Opry: Legends 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 Robbin’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. Approximate Running Time: 56 Minutes. Grand Ole Opry: Love Songs Nothing says “I Love You” like a country song. And no singer ever expressed these sentiments better than Dolly Parton in I Will Always Love You, one of the highlights from Love Ballads. Patsy Cline and Ferlin Husky address the pain of separation. Sexy Conway Twitty gets right down to business in I See the Want To In Your Eyes. As for Ray Price—he makes a failed romance sound mighty pretty in For the Good Times. Approximate Running Time: 55 Minutes. Grand Ole Opry: Pioneers The Carter Family, Roy Acuff and the Sons of the Pioneers belong to a select group of the earliest and most successful country recording artists. Pioneers spotlights them all doing such signature songs as Keep On the Sunny Side, Wabash Cannon Ball and Tumbling Tumbleweeds, alongside the influential bluegrass bands of Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs. And when Grandpa Jones stomps through Mountain Dew, you’ll wonder where he hid the jug. Approximate Running Time: 47 Minutes. Grand Ole Opry: Queens of Country Kitty Wells, the “Queen of Country Music,” heads a roster of female artists who followed her lead to achieve stardom on their own. Queens features Kitty’s Makin’ Believe, along with major hits by Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton. As a special treat, this set includes The Hurtin’s All Over by Connie Smith, whom Dolly acknowledged as possessing one of the three best female voices in the world. Approximate Running Time: 54 Minutes. Grand Ole Opry: Songs That Topped The charts Long, long ago, a record didn’t just reach the No. 1 spot—it resided there, sometimes for months. Songs That Topped the Charts captures the biggest country hits, many of which also became significant pop singles. Check out Leroy Van Dyke’s Walk On By (19 weeks at No. 1); Stonewall Jackson’s Waterloo; and The Browns’ The Three Bells,a country and pop chart-topper. They don’t cut ‘em like that any more. Approximate Running Time: 49 Minutes.
