Description of the Project:
The film tells the story of country music’s most historic event: The Bristol Sessions. Through dramatic reenactments, we revisit the 12 days in 1927 when musicians descended upon the Tennessee-Virginia border city of Bristol to record the songs that would go on to be known as the “Big Bang” of country music. Then we follow some of today’s top artists, such as Dolly Parton, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Ashley Monroe, Keb Mo and others as they make history again by reinventing the recordings alongside Grammy-winning Producer Carl Jackson.
