10 Great Things About Nashville by David Kilgour
David Kilgour has just released his fifth solo album "Frozen Orange" It was recorded in Nashville - a city that too many people think begins and ends with the commercial end of the country music spectrum. But Nashville is home to a lot of the things that made country music great in the first place - and it has a thriving alternative scene revolving around acts like Lambchop.
