Luke Laird in Music City
Music Row is a story song that referenced the top landmarks in Nashville.
Luke Laird’s debut album will feature 10 songs including its title track that will be released this week. Inspired by the legendary “Music Row” landmark in Nashville, the album will take you to the most sought places in the music city. From the priced and tourist-friendly motel, The Fiddler’s Inn to the historic Ernest Tubb’s Record Shop, then to the old homes on the 16th Avenue, and of course, the Bluebird Cafe. All but one of the ten songs on the list was written by Luke Laird himself. He co-wrote “Branch On The Tree” with Lori McKenna and Barry Dean.
Reflecting on the first day he arrived in Nashville, Laird has instantly fallen in love with the city. The songs that Liard produced and have included in his debut album are personal collections of his journey from his roots in Pennsylvania all the way to Nashville and now as he that he’s releasing his debut album.
