Nashville is known all over the world as Music City, which got us thinking – how fun would it be to create a Nashville playlist for locals, by locals?
Meet the NASHtoday: Community Playlist. The playlist, curated by NASHtoday + our readers, features songs that bring back Music City memories or were created by local artists.
In this playlist, you will be able to add your own go-to tracks + we’ve added a few songs to help you get started:
- “24 Frames — Live at the Ryman” by Jason Isbell — Anyone else hoping Isbell announces another Ryman residency soon?
- “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” by Kitty Wells — DYK this answer song to Hank Thompson’s hit “The Wild Side of Life” was temporarily banned from airwaves for being “too suggestive?”
- “Slow Burn” by Kacey Musgraves
- “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to Be Cowboys” by Willie Nelson + Waylon Jennings — Written by Nashville singer-songwriters Ed and Patsy Bruce, the song earned Nelson and Jennings a Grammy in 1978.
- “Tennessee Song” by Margo Price
- “Something’s Got a Hold on Me – Live” by Etta James — Recorded live in 1963 at New Era Club on Charlotte Ave.
- “Tennessee” by Silver Jews — The late David Berman called Nashville home for many years.
Now it’s your turn. Simply create a free Spotify account (if you haven’t already), open the collaborative playlist, add the playlist to your library, and add songs that make you think of Nashville.*Note: Please try to keep your song choices non-explicit.
Once you’ve added your faves, enjoy this little piece of Music City on road trips, hanging out downtown, or on a bike ride across the city.
