Great Variety of Artists,

This review is from: Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall (DVD)
This DVD features the show held in Nov.,2005. Many major talents are represented here, like veterans Jimmy Dickens and Bill Anderson to newer stars like Brad Paisley and Trace Adkins. Great songs such as Ricky Scaggs' "Black Eyed Suzie" and Trisha Yearwood on "She's In Love With The Boy" and many other popular favorites from such artists as Vince Gill, Charley Pride, Martina McBride and Alan Jackson. The shining gem of the evening though, is Alison Krauss & Union Station's performance of the Patsy Cline tune "She's Got You". Alison's crystal clear voice will give you chills.
This show was well produced and recorded, it's a keeper!

For the third time in history instead of going to Nashville to visit the
Grand Ole Opry, the GOP goes to New York to interprete their genuine
Country music. The first time it happened back in 1947, the second time
in 1961 and on the third occasion, the event took place on Nov. 14th 2005.
Led by country star Vince Gill, this musical reunion is just fantastic
with today's and yesterday's wonderful country artists ranging from
86 year old Little Jimmy Dickens to the nowadays top singers like
Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, Martina McBride, Alison
Krauss etc and Vince Gill himself. The sound quality is superb which
shouldn't surprise us because the live concert is held at the world
famous Carnegie Hall. That's why all of the artists give their best
possible interpretation because they feel so "honoured" to act at this
music hall. If you like Country music, this is an ABSOLUTE MUST! and
if you like all kinds of...Read more

Great voices!!,
November 3, 2007 S. H. J. Dijkhuis "Stan the fusion man" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall (DVD)
Over here in The Netherlands nearly nobody knows people like Vince Gill and Martina McBride. What a bloody shame that is!
When Vince Gill is singing Go Rest High On that Mountain with Allison Krauss and Ricky Scaggs the world stops turning for me. I nearly can't imagine that there are people in the world who wouldn't love this song. I simply get tears in my eyes. Vince is for me by far the best country vocalist on this planet.
And how awesome are Martina McBrides' both songs. For me she's the huge queen of country female singers. With power and passion she sings, just awesome. What a pity she doesn't sing a duet with Vince, a missed chance!
It's a pity that there are some singers who shouldn't perform on this dvd, but what the heck, YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO BUY IT!!
