“Nashville has always felt perfect. I don't think Third Man Records could exist in any other town that I know of in America. Anything smaller or larger than the size of Nashville, and also the music - the attention that's paid to music in that town is sort of the right kind. It's not too hipster and it's not too fake; it's something in the middle, which is really good ground for a place like Third Man Records, that aims to be genre-less. It's great to be able to have that kind of access.” ThinkingKnowsMenKindAbleAmericaFeltPerfectAttentionRecordsMiddleThirdsPaidTownsAimSizeAccessGenreFakeHipsterNashville Author:Jack White
“It wasn't until I moved to Nashville that I realized what an amazing community it is. It's the thing I've been missing my whole career, the feeling of being able to sit around with a guitar and have people know each other's songs and know songs from people who've influenced all of us. When I moved here pretty early on Vince Gill started calling me to do guitar pulls, and I thought, gosh, this is just like heaven on earth down here.” PeopleKnowsWholeFeelingsAbleEarthSongHeavenCommunityCareersMissingCallingMovedGuitarI RealizedNashvilleHeaven On Earth Author:Sheryl Crow
“People think it is all about country music, and I know a lot of country music has come out of there, but like Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dillon was recorded there.
