Brothers Osborne performed three concerts in 2019 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. From these shows, a handful of their performances were included to compile Live at the Ryman.[2] The album contained a total of 12 tracks.[1][3] These tracks included live versions of their country hits, such as "Stay a Little Longer" and "It Ain't My Fault." The album also includes a handful of live cuts originally found on their 2018 album, Port Saint Joe. It was the duo's first live album in their career and one of several albums recorded at the Ryman Auditorium. Other artists to have recorded there include Emmylou Harris, Jason Isbell and Ringo Starr.[2] In a 2019 interview John Osborne of the duo spoke about his feelings recording the live project: "To play this place one night is a gift and an accomplishment that everyone should remember but the fact that we did it three, I can’t even wrap my mind around it."[4]

He described the duo's sound on the record to evoke "progressive country" styles. Freeman praised how the duo were able to "reshape" several of their former recordings to sound different from the originals. "It’s hard to imagine another country group in the present with daring or skill enough to pull it off so successfully," he commented.[7]
