Everyone knows Elvis Presley’s In the Ghetto and A Little Less Conversation. But who wrote those songs? That was Mac Davis, and almost no one has heard of him. He shares this fate with dozens of other songwriters who have been responsible for massive hits. Coincidentally, many of them live in Nashville, Tennessee – though this documentary reveals that isn’t quite as accidental as it seems.
The story of how a group of unremarkable bungalows in Nashville Tennessee became the heart of the country music industry, and led to the city's title as Music City USA. The documentary focuses on the rise of the Grand Ole Opry and the subsequent opening of recording studios in the downtown area while reflecting on what this legendary Nashville street means today in the changing music business.
Explore the country legend's hard-fought road to stardom.
