NASHVILLE, TN. (Top40 Charts) 2015 was a year of great loss amidst the country music community with the passing of "Pop A Top" hit-maker Jim Ed Brown in June, and Opry legend

Episodes will also honor the extraordinary careers of "Hee Haw" star and renowned country/Gospel performer Grandpa Jones and "Charlie's Shoes" singer, Billy Walker.

ABOUT "COUNTRY'S FAMILY REUNION":
Gabriel Communications, started in 1996 by long-time disc jockey Larry Black, is the producer of the popular "Country's Family Reunion" and "Larry's Country Diner" series.
Black first applied the "Reunion" concept to the legends of country music in 1997. The idea was simple: bring America's most-treasured artists together into one room to reunite and reminisce about their careers, perform signature songs and share stories while the cameras roll. The result has been pure magic, documenting hundreds of stories and performances that would have otherwise been lost. The series' popularity has led to top-rated shows on RFD-TV and wildly successful DVD sales, spurring the creation of more than a dozen more projects and "Country's Family Reunion" News (a monthly newspaper that highlights the music of yesteryear), as well as giving rise to sold-out theatre shows and ocean cruises by the ever-growing fan base.
