    In honor of it being spooky season, I thought I would tell you some country music ghost stories. The history of country music goes way back so there are lots of dead people and old buildings so of course there are going to be ghosts. And surprisingly some of our favorite country stars have either had their own run ins with the spirit world OR have stuck around to haunt us themselves. Follow me @brentsnydermusic everywhere and the show @rootoftheboot on Instagram. Full webisodes of this podcast are available at YouTube.com/brentsnydermusic Visit goldandivy.com and use code BOOT 15 for 15% of your entire purchase. Visit neoncowboys.com and use code BRENTSNYDER for 10% off your order. Use this link, https://amzn.to/3phfF1b for a HUGE discount on the book, Country Music: An Illustrated History. For links to the source material for this episode, visit YouTube.com/brentsnydermusic or rootoftheboot.com

    In 1989, Nashville's iconic Music Row was rocked by an unexpected and seemingly unmotivated murder. Most people recall the George Strait and Alan Jackson song that made the phrase "Murder on Music Row" a commonality.

In this episode, I break down one of country music's darkest days and the secret schemes that led to the Murder on Music Row.Follow me @brentsnydermusic everywhere and the show @rootoftheboot on Instagram.Full webisodes of this podcast are available at YouTube.com/brentsnydermusicVisit goldandivy.com and use code BOOT 15 for 15% of your entire purchase.Visit neoncowboys.com and use code BRENTSNYDER for 10% off your order.Use this link, https://amzn.to/3phfF1b for a HUGE discount on the book, Country Music: An Illustrated History.For links to the source material for this episode, visit YouTube.com/brentsnydermusic or rootoftheboot.com
