If you like a deep dive into a culture, a city, and a murder that connects to both- this is your show. The narration could have used a director or editor. The pacing and cadence lack pauses and meaning which makes it hard to absorb and track in spots. Still, it’s an interesting story and it’s clear a lot of research and work is behind it.
I was so glad I found this podcast! This was incredible. Very well researched and reported on.
This podcast is incredible. Any true crime or music fan should listen. Excellent journalism. My only complaint is I wish there about 8 more episodes.
The Tennessean is a joke. They’ve dropped one episode but want people to subscribe to listen to the rest. F that.
There are two stories here. First, there is the story of the music industry in Nashville, who the players were, how they operated, the legitimate and the scammers, and how some musicians whose names you'll recognize got their starts. Second, there is the story of the murder. Keith Sharon is a riveting storyteller. Once you start listening you'll be as hooked as I am. A great binge listen. It's worth subscribing to the Tennesseean to listen to all of the episodes now.
