You don’t have to be a big country and western fan before you visit Nashville, a weekend there will turn you into one.

Do you have to be a massive country and western fan to have a great time in Nashville? What’s the point, otherwise, of visiting Dolly Parton’s homeland at all? My answer came within half an hour of arriving: our first stop, on the way from the airport, was the Bluebird Cafe. A serious small acoustic venue with an audience of around 60, the Bluebird has as its slogan, “Shhhh”. The place was packed with earnest-looking men with lumberjack shirts and beards, and big-haired ladies in jewelled sweaters. One girl wore a T-shirt that read, “I am what I am because of who we are.” You could smell God – and country – in the air.

But as the lights went down and the beardies started to applaud (quietly, obviously), I found myself getting goosebumps. Then a man in open-toed sandals opened his soul. As he sang, “When they say it ain’t about the money, it’s about the money,” I was sold. Bottle of Bud in one hand, catfish sandwich in the other, I let the spirit of country sweep over me. And not only did I not hate it, it felt good.
