Located right in the centre of the United States of America, and famously the home of both types of music, country and western, Nashville is a pleasant enough city to visit, with all of the usual American staples in place and correct, friendly helpful people every where, great value shopping in the down town streets and out of town strip malls, a few classical revival buildings such as the state Capitol, and also enough skyscrapers and tower blocks to constitute an impressive skyline.
Of course none of this is of any concern to 99% of the visitors who choose to come to Nashville, for country music fans, travelling to the city is the equivalent of the Hajj, a pilgrimage that they must undertake at least once, in order to hear the performances at the Grand Ole Opry, stare open mouthed at Patsy Kline's rhinestone dotted shirts, and stand underneath the road sign with their favourite artiste's name on it.
Nashville is not the kind of place that could ever be called a holiday destination, its great for dads as a stop off on the way to Disneyworld at Orlando, and will make the kids enjoy the saccharine sweetness of Mickey Mouse and fairytale castles even more, but aside from the attempts at bringing something uniquely American to the masses, its all a bit to much of a fan thing.
If you like Garth Brooks, then you'll love Nashville, if you don't, then you won't. It's that simple.
