Radio City

It's 1999, and Eira Hart and Ru Tattersall are set up to co-host The Lonely Harts Club, a new late-night radio show to help New Yorkers find love.

THE GRAND OLE OPRY: How Nashville and Country Music Found Each Other in the 1920s Volume 1 of The Country Music Chronicles In 1920, Nashville was a city where music came and went.
