{"product_id":"nashville-music-before-country-tim-sharp-9781531634087","title":"Nashville Music Before Country","description":"Nashville is a name synonymous with music. Years before the first radio broadcast of country music from Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, music and publishing were central to Nashville's self-identity. \u003cbr\u003eThousands of songs flooded into the Cumberland and Tennessee River valleys from Southern Appalachia, sung by folk performers. These songs became the foundation for the folk-hymn traditions that grew throughout Tennessee. Into this stream flowed a body of African American spirituals, gospel, and minstrel songs. The arrival of trained German musicians brought classical styles to this gathering stream of \u003cbr\u003emusical confluences. These musicians found a home in the academies and businesses of Nashville. Nashville Music before Country is the story of how music merged with education, publication, entertainment, and distribution to set the stage for a unique musical metropolis. The images for Nashville Music before Country come from private collections as well as public libraries and archives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Sharp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531634087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531634087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Tim Sharp","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067161374975,"sku":"9781531634087","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ccbfe72-94b9-4dea-b8cc-6272c8339d6b.jpg?v=1685411563","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nashville-music-before-country-tim-sharp-9781531634087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
