Nashville is known for country music. Regardless of your opinion of pick up trucks, heartbreak and cold beer, one has to admit that the live music pumping out of every bar on Broadway is a rare treat for the ears.
But Music City isn't just a one trick pony (no matter how many country songs sing about one trick ponies). The place does due diligence to tickling the other four senses. The weather is pleasant, the food is down-home delicious and the main street smells like BBQ smoke - seriously. Except when you walk by the candy store, then the smoked meat flavor switches out for the bubbling praline aroma wafting out the door.
And as all those wanna-be Vince Gills will tell you, you gotta look the part if you want to make it in this town. On that front, Nashville doesn't disappoint. From the buzzing lights on Broadway to Opryland's secret garden to a modern replica of an ancient behemoth, the sights of Nashville come in a close second to its famous sounds.
Here are a few of my favorite solos from Music City.
