Nashville's Band of Outsiders
in The New York Times Magazine by Ann Patchett, 23 September 2007
Patchett argues that Nashville is re-emerging as a musician's haven in the mold of Austin,Texas and Greenwich Village as songwriters flock to the town's diverse clubs and cheap living. Mainstream country is the most visible genre, and Patchett taps into the scene's undercurrent of Americana as she interviews artists such as Old Crow Medicine Show and Gillian Welch. The newcomers actually seem truer to Nashville icons, giving respectful nods to Hank Williams and the Grand Ole Opry House. Patchett also manages to slip a sly indictment of country pop music into this readable essay.
