I'm sure this question has been asked on here, maybe more than once, but has the movie Tennessee Jamboree ever been released in ANY format? I have seen the cover picture for it, prominently showcasing Jim, many times, but I hit a dead end when I google it, other than a very brief synopsis... Again, I apologize if I am kicking a dead horse, so to speak...

Tom, I believe this movie is made up from the films of Jim, Ray Price, Ernest Tubb, Chet Atkins and others that are already available on DVD.

There were two of these color movies produced:

Tennessee Jamboree (1964)
+
Country Music Caravan (1964)

I may be wrong, but I believe these 2 films were filmed exclusively, and produced, by a company called Colorama Roadshows.
Who knows where one could find a print these days?
They're probably locked up in some vault somewhere in the states.
They have never shown up on any kind of video format as far as I know.

Maybe Larry knows more?

Re: Tennessee Jamboree

Even, the one I saw in the theaters back in the '60's was "Country Music Caravan". The performances in these two films have been released in a series on both VHS and DVD with two or three artists on each release, for example the one with Jim, Ray Price and Ernest Tubb.
