Everyone knows country music is important, especially in Nashville. But what difference does it make in our culture and in the world of business? When you dig past the celebrity of the singers, what are the different pieces of the puzzle that get their songs on the radio or streamed to our devices? What gets you to purchase that music? What gets the radio stations to put that music on the air? How has country music business evolved over time?
