The City Put the Country Back In Me

I love country music. I love the Grand Ole Opry. I love Nashville and all the songwriters who call it home. I love the state of Tennessee and it's beautiful greenery and majestic mountains. I love Dollywood. I love the country lifestyle. The thing is, I don't live in the country. I live in New York City. The city that has everything. The city that never sleeps. The city that hosted the biggest country music concert EVER by the biggest country music star, EVER! But there's one thing New York City doesn't have, and that's a country music radio station. Without that, country music fans who live in the New York City area lack a comprehensive source for country music, country news and country concert information. That is the mission of this blog. Sure, we can search the web for lots of country news, videos, songs, etc. What I want to bring to the table is a place where NEW YORKERS (and New Jerseyans)can go to find out what's going on right here in the NY/NJ area. It is my hope and belief that the Nashville community will partner up with us and feed us the information we need to bring it to the many fans I know are out there, hungry for ONE stop shopping for all things country in this great city. We each have our own Broadway, that's a good start!
In addition, I hope to share with you some of my thoughts on country related topics such as album and concert reviews, close encounters of the country kind, interesting places to visit in Nashville, etc. I hope you will stop by often. Let us know what you think. "Come on in child, it's sure good to know ya!"
