Nashville Or Bust

I recently happened across this great series of posts .


A.V. Club head writer and hip-hop specialist Nathan Rabin recently decided to spend a year immersing himself in the canon of country music, a genre he knew little about but was keen to explore. The result: “Nashville Or Bust,” a series of essays about seminal country artists. After one year of country (dated from the column’s introduction on March 3, 2009), Rabin plans to travel south and explore some of country music’s most hallowed landmarks and institutions.

I can't agree with the inclusion of all the artists that he covers, but he has put a good deal of research into the project. Definitely worth a look.
