Nashville Is for Music Lovers

There are two clichés about Nashville: One is that Nashville is all about country music. The other is that Nashville is much more than just country music. Both of them are true.

“All the businesses you see on these two streets around us are related to the music industry specifically. Studios, publishing companies, labels,” says my tour guide, Brian Keith Wright, as we walk toward RCA Studio B, the 1956 studio that developed the Nashville Sound and recorded over 200 songs by Elvis Presley. This is Music Row, what appears to be a mix of commercial buildings and residences. 
“Most of the houses are publishing companies. So they have a staff of writers that come to work every day 9–5 and they bring their guitar and their ideas and they get in a room and they try to write songs together. That is very uniquely Nashville,” Wright says.
