Like Beale Street in Memphis and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Lower Broadway was the heart of the country music scene in Nashville, the place where locals could rub elbows with stars and impromptu jam sessions could last late into the night. But after the Grand Ole Opry moved out of the Ryman Auditorium in the 1970s, Lower Broad deteriorated into a downandout skid row. When the Rymans reopening and urban gentrification started bringing peopleespecially touristsback to Lower Broad in the 1990s, locals fought to retain some of its oldtime authenticity. Bill Roudas evocative photographs capture the return of the spirit of real country music in honkytonks like Tootsies Orchid Lounge and Roberts Western World. Here bands like the hip, retro BR549 played for tips while fans danced the night away, ignoring the shadows of the newly constructed convention center and the glare of Planet Hollywood. Roudas photographs also capture legends like Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson and attest to the true heart and soul of country music.
