Marking his 60th publication, Brown offers an in-depth exploration of the ideas that shaped iconic songs and the creative process behind some of the most beloved recordings in both classic and contemporary country music over the past 50 years.
The book features more than 45 songwriters and exclusive interviews and personal perspectives with Jelly Roll, Liz Rose, Lori McKenna, Drew Parker, Josh Thompson, Clint Black, Vince Gill, Hillary Lindsay, Natalie Hemby, Shane McAnally and many more.
“This is a love letter to Nashville’s unsung heroes,” says Brown. “It’s a celebration of, and my dedication to, the brilliant minds behind generations of country hit songs and the songwriters who created them.
“At the heart of any songwriter’s dream is to have their music heard,” he continues. “And Songs Of Nashville recognizes and explores how each one wrote and played their way to making their dreams come true.”
