The Grand Ole Opry has partnered with Rhino Entertainment and Warner Music Nashville for distribution of the new two-CD set Opry Legends: Gospel Favorites, which will appear exclusively in Walmart stores for Easter 2012.
The project features recent recordings of gospel classics by 19 Opry favorites, including Bill Anderson (“Turn Your Radio On”), Crystal Gayle (“In The Garden”), The Oak Ridge Boys (“This Little Light Of Mine”), Ray Price (“Softly and Tenderly”), Charley Pride (“On The Wings of a Dove”), Connie Smith (“There Will Be Peace in the Valley For Me”) and many more. Future Opry releases through Rhino/WMN will include new recordings by Opry artists as well as archival recordings from the past.
“We’re pleased that through this partnership with Rhino and Warner Music Nashville, some of the Opry’s finest artists and many of the show’s greatest musical moments throughout its history will be available to music fans, several for the first time,” said Pete Fisher, Opry Vice President and General Manager.
