Best Music by State: Tennessee

Published: May 24, 2022, 4 p.m.

In this episode Nate and Kyle once again visit, figuratively of course, one of the United States and try to figure out what, if any, good music comes from that state. This Week that state is Tennessee... I hear you saying, "That's a softball, surely there isn't an easier state what with Memphis and Nashville within the borders..." and I can hear myself saying right back at you, "it definitely wasn't that easy, and don't call me Shirley." There is some great music from this state and a lot of it isn't Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus, so listen as the hosts take you on a journey of musical discovery as they discover the lesser knowns, all of what's hiding under the popular and recognizable exports from the great state of Tennessee.
