BRADLEY'S BARN
Bradley's Barn
722 Benders Ferry Rd
Mt Juliet, TN
1965-1980
Following negotiations with Columbia Records in NYC, Owen
and Harold sold their "Quonset Hut" studio for $300,000 in February
1962. Although Owen no longer owned the
property on 16th Ave, he continued to produce his artists there up until
renovations were complete on a barn near his lake home in Mount Juliet, Tenn., where he planned to create a new state of art recording facility.
"Bradley's Barn" opened its doors for business in
early 1966 and proved as successful as the "Hut", cranking out hit
recordings up until it was destroyed by a fire on October 20, 1980.
In 1981, Owen had rebuilt his studio on a smaller
scale. Many notable recordings were made
here until its closure following Mr. Bradley's death in 1998.
