The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum has been the home of America's music since 1967. In keeping with the cultural significance of the music and the heroic achievements of those who form its membership, the Museum opened in a $37 million landmark new building in May 2001.

Located on the west bank of the Cumberland River, just a few steps from the historic Ryman Auditorium and the honky-tonks of Lower Broadway, the monumental edifice, a visceral experience for approaching visitors, invigorates the skyline in downtown Nashville's entertainment district.

Inside, the Museum presents the crown jewels of its vast collection to illustrate country music's story as told through the turns of two centuries. A treasure trove of historic country video clips and recorded music, dynamic exhibits and state-of-the-art design, a regular menu of live performances and public programs, a museum store, live satellite radio broadcasts, on-site dining, and fabulous public spaces all contribute to an unforgettable Museum experience.

Until 31 December 2007, see the exhibit - I Can't Stop Loving You: Ray Charles and Country Music - which will provide an overview of Charles' remarkable career with a central focus on his country music influences and his contributions to the growth and ennoblement of the genre. From the earliest known photograph of Charles through his final televised performance, the media-rich exhibit honors Charles as “one of the most revered and recognized musicians in the world.” The exhibit will also include artifacts, instruments, song manuscripts, costumes, photographs, computer interactives, recorded sound and moving images.

The founders of Stax Records in Memphis tapped into the talents of a racially diverse neighborhood - the kids hanging out at the record store, in the churches and high schools, even the local supermarket - and wound up creating a vibrant, sultry new style of music that moved people the world over.

R-e-s-p-e-c-t, Soul Man, Dock of the Bay and In the Midnight Hour are just a few of the hits created at this legendary studio. See where it all began: in a humble old movie house on McLemore Avenue, and the neighborhood that came to be known as Soulsville USA.

As your musician guide performs soul classics, you will see W.C. Handy House, Lorraine Motel, Soulsville USA (home to such greats as Aretha Franklin, Maurice White of Earth, Wind, and Fire, and Booker T. Jones), and Royal Studio (home of Hi Records). You will also visit Stax Museum of American located at the original site of the legendary Stax Records, where the memory of Stax soul music legends are kept alive.

Join the fun and make use of the tambourines, bongos and shakers on board as you become part of the performance and find your own rhythm and soul!
