Interview: Jerry Bradley
Special Program
Music executive Jerry Bradley learned to engineer and produce records while assisting his father, legendary Music Row producer Owen Bradley. After working as a publisher with his family's Forest Hills Music, Jerry joined RCA Records as Chet Atkins's assistant and succeeded Atkins as head of RCA Nashville from 1973 to 1982. In addition to signing acts including Alabama, Ronnie Milsap, and Eddie Rabbitt, he played a major role in country's Outlaw phenomenon. From 1986 to 2002, Bradley helmed the Opryland Music Group of publishing companies, while continuing his role as Music Row's merriest prankster. In this public interview, Bradley will share some of his best stories with Museum Senior Historian John Rumble.
