The Vinyl Frontier explores the distant frontiers of long-forgotten recorded sounds. This showcase of audio treasures collected over the years by host Jim Childs even includes treasures from the vaults of the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound. Tune in to hear old-time string bands, fiddlers, bluegrass, classic honky tonk, Nashville sound, blues, R&B, rock-a-billy, ‘60s soul, gospel and more.

Vinyl Frontier airs Sundays from 9 until 10 p.m. EST as part of the Sunday Jubilee block of programming.
