That's a shame, but not too surprising. It's gotta be pretty expensive having that property in the middle of downtown Nashville. I can't imagine record sales being too profitable today.

The shop sold a lot more items than records. I spent a few hours there every time I visited Nashville and always left with my hands full.

Interesting article here that explores the matter in a bit more depth.

Looks like the place has been sold several times but that the sale in 2020 might have been a bridge too far.
Hoping against all indications that the new owners have a heart for it.

Sad to see that it is closing down.
If they did international shipping I would buy something from them.
Tony Davis gave me an old catalogue from there that he got 20 years ago.. I will hang onto it as a souvenir of better days in country music.
I hope when I someday get to Nashville there is still something there....

Tom, I believe the Saturday Night Midnight Jamboree radio show closed down a few years ago. The show was moved from the downtown location to an auxiliary Record Shop location located in a mall in the suburbs. I believe the Jamboree radio show stopped when the auxiliary location closed.Tom Keller wrote:Will the radio show continue on WSM at midnight or is that gone?
Here is a listing of the current WSM radio shows: https://wsmradio.com/shows/

Streaming is the real villain
After looking at the ‘in depth articles’ and hearing pugnacious protagonists’ postulations fly freely, I can only laugh out loud at that characters name: Joe Buck Yourself. The rest is just as sad as a rainy-day funeral.

Sad as hell, but also a sign of the times. Nobody really cares about things like this anymore, there is NO Connection. The younger generations have turned the corner to " nobody gives a crap about anything anymore" All they care about is which IPhone do they have.
I'm actually surprised it lasted as long as it did. I've been there many times and I'm glad for that.
Think about this....Mannys Music on 48th Street NYC, which was the premier Music Store in NYC , hang out on a Saturday and any BIG TIME Artist or player who was in NYC would come into the store . Well now its parking lot or maybe even an empty lot.
Our generational culture has changed 180 degrees and it didn't even take that long.
