In 1966 Elvis Presley recorded Christmas songs at RCA Studio B on Music Row, a historic site famed for shaping the Nashville Sound. Now a Country Music Foundation tour site drawing about 80,000 yearly visitors, it preserves its original gear and lets guests mix records and play vintage instruments.
