Album Review: At the Ryman

Review

This is the album debut of the Nashville Ramblers, her acoustic backing band featuring Sam Bush and Roy Huskey Jr, recorded over three nights in the former home of the Grand Ole Opry. Harris's choice of songs strikes a balance between hillbilly classics and folk-influenced rock, with Bill Monroe receiving heaviest tribute but sharing space with Tex Owens, Bruce Springsteen, and John Fogerty. ~ Brian Mansfield, All Music Guide

At the Ryman is a 1992 live album by Emmylou Harris and her then-newly formed acoustic backing band, The Nash Ramblers, recorded at the Ryman Auditorium, the original location of the Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville, Tennessee. Harris had by this point disbanded her legendary Hot Band.

The Nash Ramblers:

Though the album received almost no airplay on commercial country radio, it charted and was critically well received. It was credited with helping renew interest in restoring the Ryman, which had essentially remained vacant since the Opry relocated to their current location in 1974.

A companion video recording of the concert was released on VHS.
