Music Row Won’t Disappear Now That It’s a National Treasure
(AP) - Ben Folds feels if Music Row disappears, Nashville will lose part of its identity. He doesn't have to worry any more.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has announced it's placing Music Row on its "National Treasure" list of historically significant sites threatened by development.
Folds has rented RCA Studio A for 12 years and lead the effort in keeping a developer from razing it to build luxury condominiums. The studio was developed by Chet Atkins and has been the site of recording sessions by Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, among others.
Philanthropist Aubrey Preston bought the property from the developer in October to preserve it.
