"The official book celebrating 100 years of the Grand Ole Opry—an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the American institution and world-renowned stage for country music
Since 1925, the Grand Ole Opry has left an undeniable mark on American culture. What began as an impromptu performance of old-time fiddle tunes has transformed into the longest-running radio broadcast in US history, as well as a live performance for millions of country music fans each year.
Widely regarded as the show that made country music famous, the Opry has played an important role in the careers of country music’s biggest stars—including Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Carrie Underwood, Luke Combs, and countless others—popularizing and preserving some of the most beloved forms of American music.
As country music has broadened and its audience continues to grow, the Grand Ole Opry has evolved alongside the genre itself. This centennial celebration showcases the venerable institution’s history through behind-the-scenes stories from those who have paced backstage before career-defining performances, and those who have come to know the Opry as a second home.
Replete with tributes from country music’s biggest names, 100 Years of Grand Ole Opry is a glorious, one-of-a-kind celebration, and a must-have for any country music fan.
Includes music and interview clips with Opry stars!"
