The Nashville Country Hall of Fame compiled a fantastic exhibit and CD release celebrating the local R&B scene. I think around 2005. This is the release.

The Country Hall is a fantastic place to get lost in the stories.

Edit: I posted this before I read the article. It covers this release. Looks like I didn’t add anything. I will be visiting the Jefferson Street Sound Museum on my next trip. Hopefully soon. There’s so many music museums in Nashville and one of the best record store anywhere, Ernest Tubb’s.

Thanks for the Ernest Tubb’s recommendation. Here’s to hoping all the record stores I used to frequent make it through all of this.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Nashville, but experienced very little. I’m always there for work and I’m always stuck out at the Gaylord. A few years ago I did catch Mastodon at the Ryman which was a treat.

One recommendation, if it survives: Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar in Printer’s Alley. I do understand the somewhat unseemly alley has undergone gentrification. It’s been a few years for me. Hope the music venue remains the same! If you go, go early and sit at the bar. You’ll have a blast, tip heavy.

Found this article through The Week magazine daily e-mail. I have not heard of jazz pianist Hazel Scott, but maybe some of the jazz aficionados here have. Certainly was a prodigy who got some fame but fate had other plans …
