Nashville is still the home of country music of course, but I don’t understand what you are asking. The town is about MUSIC in general though period. Have you ever looked at the records that have been done at RCA or blackbird or sound kitchen or ocean way? If not, you really should be reading up on these studios and their history with music as a whole. Nashville has been the Hot spot for everything from country to rock to metal to pop, to folk, I mean you name it. I’d say around the time kings of Leon got big is about the time the town really took off in the modern age. Trivium did shogun There ( regardless of your opinion on any of these bands) at sound kitchen, mark Lewis ( black dahlia murder, whitechapel, devildriver, cannibal corpse etc) has a studio there, Michael Wagner has been there for forever. I mean the list goes on and on. Once again it’s about the best studios in the world for many people, among about a million other reasons connected to music and not connected to music as well.
3 doors down, Beyoncé, Bon Jovi, the spice girls, no doubt, MEGADETH, joe bonamassa, Etta James, Christina Aguilera… have all done Atleast one if not many records at JUST ocean way… the town is about music as a whole man.
