New Colonist Comments:
It's all its cracked up to be. People walk into the town for the first time carrying guitars. Hand out in a coffee shop and you're sure to meet someone who's written a hit song. Eat at Shoney's for breakfast on Music Row. Watch Robert Altman's Nashville before you go. Life there is the same as it is in the movie.
