Dolly Parton

Patsy to Parton, heartbreak lingers in 60 years of unreleased Opry cuts

Timed for the Grand Ole Opry’s centennial fanfare, “Opry 100: Country’s Greatest Songs” assembles 20 unreleased live recordings spanning six decades, from Patsy Cline’s 1962 sting of “Crazy” to Ashley McBryde’s 2024 barroom lament, “Your Cheatin’ Heart.” Dolly Parton reappears in a 2007 recording, serenading Porter Wagoner with “I Will Always Love You” beside Patty Loveless and Marty Stuart.

Track pairings like Marty Robbins’ 1981 “El Paso” with Marty Stuart’s echo mark what the Opry calls “Full Circle” mixes, bridging eras on one stage. Don Schlitz, George Jones, Carrie Underwood, and Luke Combs round out a playlist threaded with whiskey, heartbreak, and the occasional benediction.
