It has some cheesy spoken narration tracks you can skip, but there are some good songs on Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited. Highlights are “Sweet Heaven When I Die” by Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) and the Steep Canyon Rangers, and “In the Pines” by Brad Paisley. You can also never go wrong with “Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 1.” That’s one of the most influential albums in history, joining together the original stars of C&W with more modern voices who were trying to get away from the slickness that had begun to pervade the genre.
