For those not lucky enough to attend last October's wonderful Rounder Records' 40th Anniversary Concert at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, fear not. As we tipped you weeks ago, a special PBS special combining video shot at that event with other special live footage (from shows by Steve Martin, Alison Krauss/Robert Plant and Madeleine Peyroux) has been in the works over the last couple of months and will be ready for broadcast during the PBS pledge month of March. In addition, a companion 17-track CD of the live performances (some exclusive to the disc) will be available March 2. The DVD will be released exclusively via PBS. A full track listing for the 40th Anniversary Concert CD follows after the jump.

 Among those performing at the Nashville show: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bela Fleck, New Orleans soul great Irma Thomas, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Nathan and the Zydeco Cha-Chas, Fat City pianist Henry Butler and actress Minnie Driver who hosted the show and performed as well. Of all those on stage, it was probably Carpenter that received the most heartfelt response, making her first appearance in years after some recent health concerns sidelined her from touring. A new Carpenter album Age of Miracles, featuring guest appearances from both Krauss and Vince Gill, arrives April 27.
