Music Row context
The studio sound that reshaped country music
In the late 1950s and 1960s, Nashville studios developed a polished style that used vocal choruses and pop-influenced arrangements alongside country songwriting. RCA Studio B became one of its best-known recording spaces and helped establish Music Row as an industry centre. This quest places a fictional master-tape theft inside that real recording history; detective Ken Clever and the heist are invented. Playable languages: English.
