Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues Revisited is the companion book to the twentieth anniversary reprise of a special exhibition examining a vibrant, little-known chapter in the history of Music City USA.

How Nashville led the way in broadcasting groundbreaking and influential R&B on radio station WLAC and through the TV shows Night Train and The!!!!Beat.
The musical collaborations of R&B stalwarts such as Bobby Hebb and Jimmy Sweeney with country musicians.
