Subject: RE: What's going on in Nashville?-Music Row Speaks
there already was a revot in nashville. they moved to Austin texas...to get away from it..
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and the Outlaw crew took this step long ago
f you missed the story of Townes Van Zandt, Be Here to Love Me, when it was playing in theaters, it's showing on the Sundance channel in August.
home to this radio station from the university you will find many of these renegades featured on http://www.kut.org/ and don't forget t.v. Austin City Limits www.pbs.org/klru/austin/ which hosld a festival in sept. www.aclfestival.com/ and the South By South West festival has expanded to include film now too http://2007.sxsw.com/
so the focus has shifted to the west, i would say.
there is still good music and goos musicians in Nashville and Sugar Hill records produces a lot of it/them but they are in Durham, North Carolina, not in Tennessee. http://www.sugarhillrecords.com/
