A history of where it all began for country music. Well worth the watch. Classic country, as I label it, the real deal. not the schlock that passes for country music today.

I’ll be staying there to attend my nephew’s wedding in early October. Planning on visiting the Country Music Museum and checking out the sites. This will be a nice primer. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the link!

The first part of Ken Burns' excellent Country Music series has also
very much info on the Bristol sessions.

Mr Zimmerman even used a Bristol shot
of Jimmie Rodgers with Carters on inner
sleeve of Rough and Rowdy Ways which is actually

Just remembered that Bristol is one of those towns evenly divided between two states, in this case Tennessee and Virginia. There a few other towns like this here in the U-S-A. Makes me wonder if there are such elsewhere in the world.
