The Nashville Sound by Paul Hemphill

The Nashville Sound by Paul Hemphill, was received from the publisher in exchange for this review. First and foremost, the book was written 45 years ago. The re-release has a updated Foreword and some reviews from the more modern era. Having been Born and raised on country music but having been a heavy metal fan since my first KISS cassette in 1978ish, I actually knew a lot of the names in the book and had heard many of them, this book kind of picked up where I had left off. I am moving to the Nashville area in the next three to five years so I wanted to get familiar with the town, and this book was one way to do that, to get “grounded” in country music. The closest I have come to actually country music since the 1970’s was meeting Hank Williams grandson, Hank III, who has his own thoughts on the genre. Anyway I liked the book, the writer was a good writer and I recommend this book to any and all who like the old style country music. The new stuff, I am clueless about.
