The Nashville A-Team
The Nashville A-Team was a nickname given to an original group of highly skilled session musicians active in Nashville recording studios—particularly RCA Studio B and the Quonset Hut—from the late 1950s through the 1960s. The group did not have a fixed roster; it was a rotating circle of about twelve or thirteen first-call players who appeared on a large share of commercial recordings out of Nashville and were central to the creation of the Nashville Sound.
