RCA Studio B
Historic RCA Studio B opened in 1957 and was once the recording home of popular music titans such as Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, and the Everly Brothers is both a classroom for Nashville area students and a popular cultural attraction. RCA Studio B first became known as one of the cradles of the “Nashville Sound” in the 1960s. A sophisticated style characterized by background vocals and strings, the Nashville Sound both revived the popularity of country music and helped establish Nashville as an international recording center. Hitmakers in Studio B have included Eddy Arnold, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, Dolly Parton, Jim Reeves, Willie Nelson, and Floyd Cramer, among others. For many years, Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Chet Atkins managed RCA’s Nashville operation and produced hundreds of hits in Studio B.

Excellent tour of RCA studios with our guide, Ron. He was not only entertaining but EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE. The way he delivers the information is amazing. Highly recommend this tour. Visiting the very studio where many greats like Dolly Parton and Elvis Presley recorded music was surreal.

My wife and I live in Knoxville and took a three day trip to Nashville. The CMHOF and museum is a must, even if you’re not a country music lover. The Studio B tour was the highlight of our trip because of our tour guide Ron. He deserves so much credit for sharing his extensive wealth of knowledge regarding not only the long history of country music and artists but also intimate first hand stories that he shared. I hope the museum compensates him well. He made the tour what it is for us. We found him a delight to be around. Thanks Ron for the job you do. We also did the regular museum tour, which was good, but paled in comparison to the Studio B tour.

Ron was a great tour guide and made our experience so much better. He also made me a bigger fan of Elvis than I thought I would ever be. :)
