Started by the National Life and Accident Insurance Company in
1925, WSM became one of the most influential and exceptional radio
stations in the history of broadcasting and country music. WSM gave
Nashville the moniker "Music City USA" as well as a rich tradition
of music, news, and broad-based entertainment. With the rise of
country music broadcasting and recording between the 1920s and
'50s, WSM, Nashville, and country music became inseparable,
stemming from WSM's launch of the Grand Ole Opry, popular daily
shows like Noontime Neighbors, and early morning artist-driven
shows such as Hank Williams on Mother's Best Flour. Sparked by
public outcry following a proposal to pull country music and the
Opry from WSM-AM in 2002, Craig Havighurst scoured new and existing
sources to document the station's profound effect on the character
and self-image of Nashville. Introducing the reader to colorful
artists and businessmen from the station's history, including Owen
Bradley, Minnie Pearl, Jim Denny, Edwin Craig, and Dinah Shore, the
volume invites the reader to reflect on the status of Nashville,
radio, and country music in American culture.
