CD cover detail, "Night Train to Nashville"
The Country Out of Nashville
Story aired: Monday, March 15, 2004



Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, and the Grand Ol' Opry: names that evoke men in black coats and women in sequins, gleaming leather boots, and scruffy cowboy hats. It's the look of the sound of Nashville, Tennessee, an all-American country and western, which is by far the music most associated with Nashville.

This month, a new compilation CD highlights other genres that ring in Music City: rhythm and blues, soul, gospel, and even jazz.

Guests:


Tim Riley, music critic
