Nashville Travel Guide [Browse Map] [Return to Attraction Homepage] Overview Nashville is the capital of Tennessee, located on the banks of the Cumberland River in central Tennessee. It is also the second largest city in the state after Memphis.

Nashville is an important center for health care, music, publishing and transportation, and is the birthplace of American country music.

American country music appeared in the 1820s. It originated from folk music in the agricultural areas of the southern United States, and it has a strong local flavor.

For a long time, its singers and fans were almost all white and black Americans living in the southern countryside, such as farmers, cowboys, miners and lumberjacks.

Initially, country music was isolated from the cultural life of big cities and remained in a state of self-isolation.

During the Great Crisis of the 1920s, some radio stations began to play country music in order to expand their markets and cater to the tastes of rural listeners. From then on, it began to merge into the mainstream of American pop music.

Since the 1950s, most country music singers have come to Nashville, Tennessee to seek development opportunities.

Since then, most country songs have been recorded in the recording studio here, and most of the most famous country musicians have come from here. Therefore, Nashville has become a concentration camp for country music, and the "Nashville Sound" has become

Synonymous with country music.

After the 1970s, although the styles of country music have become diversified, they almost all maintain the same theme and idea: talking about the love, marriage, religious beliefs and the most important things in their lives of ordinary workers and farmers living at the bottom of society.

An ordinary and most touching experience.

There is always a kind of coldness or sadness in its melody, which can make people feel lonely and gloomy even if you don't listen to the lyrics.

The distinctive personality of country music has made it widely influential and achieved great commercial success.

The Country Music Hall of Pane and Museum is located in the center of Music Street in downtown Nashville. It was built in 1961 and expanded several times. The new building in front of it was completed in May 2001.

It looks like a huge piano keyboard, bright and broad, with a musically rounded curved outline, and the black keys are transparent glass windows.

This reminds me of something written by Zhang Haidi: There is a group of elves covered under the piano cover, the white ones are like doves, the black ones are like swallows...
