NIGHT TRAIN TO NASHVILLE (Lost Highway)

NPR 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.
