Located at 417 Broadway in Nashville, Ernest Tubb Record Shop is a must-visit place if you’re a fan of record stores, classic country music, or music history. It’s been in business since 1947 and has hosted a long-running live music program that has featured classic and modern artists for decades.
The place is a gold mine of country vinyl, CDs, and books covering classic country and modern country artists. You’re in the wrong place if you can’t find your favorite country artists here.
The place is also a museum of Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, and other stars’ memorabilia, including stage-worn outfits, instruments, and the original stage where Tubb’s live radio program was broadcast.
I scored an Ernest Tubb album and a Wanda Jackson anthology while I was there. There’s plenty more I would’ve bought if I’d had more money and time. Be prepared to spend some cash and wonder while you’re there.
Keep your mind open.
