10. Nashville - Look at us! We suck! We ruined country music! yeah, NOT Music City
Nashville is just where Country Music drifted to...where it took root, grew, and now evolved into something else...the birthplace of Country Music is Bristol, Tennessee (on the Tennessee/Virginia state line). The 1927 Bristol Sessions, when the Victor Talking Machine Company recorded and launched the careers of Jimmy Rogers and the Carter Family, was when Country Music moved from the foothills of Appalachia to the radios across the country.

The Carter family is from Virginia and was known as hill music.
Then later on country/western music then finally just country music.

There was a country music recording industry in Atlanta several years before the Bristol sessions. The organizer of those sessions had been recording and distributing country music recordings made in a studio in Atlanta at least 7 years before the Bristol sessions. That studio had a recording done in 1923 or 24 that was a hit coast to coast and that recording is considered the first commercially viable country music to ever exist….3 or more years before the Bristol sessions.
