Music City News was founded in 1963, by country music singer Faron Young. In 1967, the publication began to confer annual awards; in 1978, it began televising them, with the inclusion of artist performances.

Each installment of the Country Legends Live series highlights performances from particular annual awards shows. Country Legends Live, Vol. 4 offers a "best of" the 1984, 1985 and 1986 Music City News Awards Shows. Featured artists in this installment include Hank Williams, Jr., Reba McEntire, Johnny Cash, Randy Travis, Tanya Tucker, Ricky Van Shelton, Kathy Mattea, K.T. Oslin, the Oak Ridge Boys, The Statler Brothers, Highway 101, The Forester Sisters, Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam, Patty Loveless and Ronnie Milsap.
