In 2019, music writer Randy Fox discovered a long-forgotten nugget of info: sixteen years before Lucy’s opened its doors at 1707 Church Street in Nashville, it was home to another record store called Buckley’s.

Randy has an insatiable curiosity and an unbridled enthusiasm for music and history, so this story has lots of twists and turns. It starts in Kentucky with his discovery of the Sex Pistols and the Ramones in college, zigs into the history of mid-20th-century radio and record shops, and zags to the use of urban planning as a tool for white supremacy.

Chock-full.
