Gordon, who was there on the street in the 1980s and '90s as it happened.

The final tally for the book is 500+ artists/bands listed and around 540 photos of bands, CD and LP covers, posters, and other Music City memorabilia in a profusely-illustrated volume. The Other Side of Nashville cover was created by artist Tim Shawl. Tim created a dynamic cover for the book that makes it stand out.
