"At the Ryman," recorded at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and released in 1992 on Reprise Records (26664-2), is a Grammy-winning live album by Emmylou Harris and the Nash Ramblers — the all-acoustic ensemble she formed after dissolving her electric Hot Band. The Nash Ramblers featured Sam Bush (fiddle, mandolin), Roy Huskey Jr. (bass), Al Perkins (dobro, banjo), and Jon Randall Stewart (guitar, mandolin). The album won the Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal (1993) and is widely credited with galvanizing public support for renovating the then-dilapidated Ryman, which reopened as a full-time venue shortly after. The repertoire — spanning Bill Monroe to Bruce Springsteen — made it a landmark bridge between bluegrass tradition and the emerging Americana aesthetic.
