NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country Music Hall of Famer and Longest-Serving Member, Bill Anderson was prominently featured in NBC’s Opry 100 special, which aired on Wednesday, March 19. If you didn’t watch it, you can stream it on Peacock.
“In all my 64 years as part of the family, I’ve never been any prouder to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry than I was last night during the presentation of the Opry 100 TV special on NBC. I thought the show captured the musical essence of yesterday, today, and tomorrow which is what the Opry is all about.
Watching today’s stars singing classic country songs from across the years and proudly paying tribute to the artists on whose shoulders they stand was chill-bump city to say the least. Long live the Grand Ole Opry….and here’s to the next 100 years!” Bill Anderson shared.
During the special, Anderson introduced Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss as they performed the 2005 CMA Song of the Year ,“Whiskey Lullaby,” a song co-written by Anderson that has resonated with fans across generations.
