The Ultimate Nashville Stars

Here’s a nice little compilation album with some pretty big names on it. The recordings you are about to hear sold millions of copies combined.

And they all came from a town at the heart of country music smack dab in the heart of Tennessee.

So get ready to hear wall-to-wall solid gold from wall-to-wall talent in Volume 241: Nashville Souvenirs.

For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
