The Junction Recording Studio was opened in 1987 as an additional feature of the KITTY WELLS AND JOHNNIE WRIGHT FAMILY COUNTRY JUNCTION museum and gift shop. The blue prints for the studio were created by a team of music industry notables including: Johnnie Wright, who began his recording career in 1937; legendary studio producer, Owen Bradley; producer and studio design expert, Glenn Snoddy; and John Sturdivant, Jr., present owner and Director of Operations for The Junction Recording Studio.Glenn Snoddy is credited with wiring the first stereo console and fuzz box in Nashville, and he recorded many of 'Music City's' early hits straight to acetate, including "Atom Bomb" by Johnnie and Jack and "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash. Glenn also designed legendary Woodland Sound Studio in Nashville and, working along side Owen Bradley, was an important part of the creation of the 'Nashville Sound'.

The studio has a 24' x 24' main room, control room, 12' x 12' drum booth, 10' x 6' vocal booth as well as generous lounge areas and room for case storage.
From the beginning a wide variety of music has been recorded at The Junction, from bluegrass and rock to speed metal, from gospel to country and pop. The history-rich atmosphere of the studio seems never entirely quiet, with the echos of past sessions reverberating just beyond hearing range from the walls themselves.
