While on a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard, journalist and novelist Paul Hemphill wrote of that pivotal moment in the late sixties when traditional defenders of the hillbilly roots of country music were confronted by the new influences and business realities of pop music. The demimonde of the traditional Nashville venues (Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, Robert's Western World, and the Ryman Auditorium) and first-wave artists (Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, and Lefty Frizzell) are shown coming into first contact, if not conflict, with a new wave of pop-influenced and business savvy country performers (Jeannie C. "Harper Valley PTA" Riley, Johnny Ryles, and Glen Campbell) and rock performers (Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, the Byrds, and the Grateful Dead) as they took the form well beyond Music City. Originally published in 1970, The Nashville Sound shows the resulting identity crisis as a fascinating, even poignant, moment in country music and entertainment history.

1/2 size too big!!!
Size: 7 Wide, Color: Black Leather
My entire adult life I have been a size 7, regardless of brand, I should have known right away when I tried them on, but I was so excited to go out to dinner in them that I ignored the obvious, they are for sure a 1/2 size too large for me. Thank God for the ankle strap, otherwise they would have had me a@@ over tea kettle the first time I got out of the car. I feel like I'm a kid, wearing my mom's shoes. I shouldn't have worn them out. I should have gotten a smaller size. I still might. They're super cute and comfortable. But SIZE DOWN. Especially if you ordered wide. This is now the second pair in a week I purchased from Naturalizer, and apparently they just make shoes that are 1/2 a size bigger than everyone else. I managed to return the other pair.

Cute great size got a lot of compliments
Color: Obsidian Black
Loved this. Got it on sale dor 34.99 and worth it it seems like a good staple for events / outtings. Even daily use probably, but I got it for a wedding event.weekend and got so many compliments! Good closure zipper had no issues. I like the material doesn’t look or feel cheap, good color. (I got black) but saw someone at event with gold one and also adorable!!! Storage is huge for me - it easily fit my phone, a couple of pads and tampons, small hand sanitizer, small aquaphor with room! I also had sunglasses in there at one point and surprisingly zipped fine with all of that. Overall convenient for storage, aesthetically pleasing, good material-quality. Cons: the chain strap bothered my neck a little bit after wearing it but that’s a me problem. Not the purse/way it was made. But something to consider.

Cute and versatile clutch purse
Color: Apricot Beige
Very nicely made, can use as a clutch, a shoulder or the chain can be doubled and makes a great little purse, roomy and closes with a zipper so you don't lose things like I do. Will probably get more in different colors, soft leathery material.
