Co-Host Alex Steed from Nashville Demystified joins for a special episode that dives into Nashville Music in the 1980s.
Inspired by the Nashville Demystified series Music City Tales from the 1980s, we decide to take a look at what Nashville’s music scene was like from 1980 to 1989. Nashville Demystified host Alex Steed joins in on the episode as special co-host to provide insight on the city and plenty of wonderful subjective insights on the music itself.
We make reference to many additional materials throughout this episode, all of which are worth spending more time with. Specifically, this New Wave Nashville Special Report, the wonderful repository of music from Nashville80sRock.net, the exhaustively impressive encyclopedia of Nashville bands The Other Side of Nashville and the SPAT Records compilation Return to Elliston Square, 1979-1989. Oh, and Pyramid Records on Soundcloud.
Covering a decade of musical output in a single episode is, clearly, impossible but hopefully this sampler will verify that the Nashville underground has always been thriving and fascinating in its own unique ways.
