Justin Schipper backed all Ryman performances.....a great player...and doubled up on lead and slide guitar.

One looked like Paul Franklin to me. I could not be 100 % positive.

Tommy White did the pre-recorded Ryman performances. Justin Schipper, (not familiar with him) did the live stuff from the Opry House.
