East Nashville featured in New York Times (Green Hill: neighborhood, live)

[Carol McCullough]

The New York Times featured East Nashville on Sunday (apparently, in the Style magazine for print customers and in the Travel magazine online):
Nashville’s Band of Outsiders - New York Times

The focus is on how Nashville is one of the few affordable, cool music scenes left and East Nashville is where many musicians are ending up.

It describes the people who are flying under the radar making music more like traditional country music (such as Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, etc.). Such music is apparently called Americana now. It also mentions places that you can go to see them in different parts of Nashville (not just East).

I don't tend to be that interested in articles about music, but this one held my attention (probably because I much prefer traditional country music to the stuff masquerading as such now).

Thanks for posting the article. It seems that Nashville's alternative music is getting a burgeoning amount of press lately. Perhaps the time has come to share the notion of magic that often exists around here. I've been in Nashville all my 54 years and have marveled at the undying creativity and enthusiasm of and by those who are moved by their own spirits of musical innovation. The city has been a mecca for many, many years and has provided an outlet and common ground for those individuals and groups who produce true from-the-soul music. It's gratifying to see the message is being delivered outside the usual channels. I'm watching the city itself change before my very eyes and for the most part I'm thrilled. Seeing my (close) neighborhood featured so prominently and with such insight in the NY Times fills me with pride. Having had so many friends throughout the years who've come from all places coast to coast to pursue dreams, it's always nice seeing it put so well in print as this article did.

Yes, John, she does. Same neighborhood (Green Hills) as Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman (but they've just bought land outside of town for a new farm so they can have horses). That's as much as I know.

I bet in Leiper's Fork. That is where Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill are moving. The Judds live there.
