Nashville’s Musical History Explored In New Don Cusic Book

A new book on Nashville’s music history, Nashville Sound: An Illustrated Timeline, is out now by noted author and songwriter Don Cusic. The Reedy Press book explores Nashville’s rich history in music that encompasses not only country but also gospel, contemporary Christian, R&B, rock, and classical music and follows the development of music and the music industry in Nashville from the nineteenth century until today.
