The Nashville sound originated during the late 1950s as a sub-genre of American country music, replacing the chart dominance of honky tonk music which was most popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Although it refers to a means of production (not to mention an era and mystique) as much as to an actual sound, the Nashville sound is generally dated from 1957 or 1958.

Sandy Posey (born June 18, 1944[1]) is an American popular singer, who enjoyed success in the 1960s with singles such as her 1966 recording of Martha Sharpe's composition, "Single Girl." She is often described as a country singer, although, like Skeeter Davis (to whom she's been frequently compared) her output has varied. Later in her career, the term "countrypolitan," associated with the "Nashville sound", was sometimes applied.[2] Posey had three hit singles in the United States all of which peaked at number 12 in the sales charts.Posey had her first hit with "Born a Woman," which Moman produced in Nashville on March 15, 1966.[8] This reached number 12 in the US sales charts in September 1966. "Born a Woman" was regarded by some as a women's liberationist song ("You're born to be stepped on, lied to, cheated on"), although it was lampooned by others[9] and Helen Reddy, whose song, I Am Woman, became a feminist anthem in 1972, dismissed it much later as "dreadful" and its lyrics as "not exactly empowering".[10] Billboard referred contemporaneously to "this woeful ballad rocker", while praising Posey's "excellent vocal work".[11] Even so, Posey received two "Grammy" nominations for "Born a Woman" in the categories of vocal performance (female) and contemporary (R&R) solo vocal. "Born A Woman" was later covered by Nick Lowe (Bowi EP) and Hubble Bubble.

Adam Wright, from Nashville, Tennessee, is a singer/songwriter/guitarist in his band "The Wrights". He's played the Grand Ole Opry 30 times, opened for Loretta Lynn and Chris Isaak, and co-wrote songs performed by Solomon Burke. He picked the Fender Classic Series '60s Stratocaster electric guitar because of its iconic pickup, and the romance of its design. He pairs it with a delay pedal for its ambient sound, and the Fender Hot Rod Devilleâ„¢ 410 guitar amp for its sweet, mellow sound.

This is for educational perposes. We had to take a clip from a movie, this one is 'Ghost in the Shell' and music by Roni Size "Share the Fall". We had to put all the audio, from scratch, to the video in ProTools. It was a fun project. I didn't do any dialog though. It required yelling and I was too self consious. Oh well. Also, YouTube makes the audio mono, so you can't hear any of the stereo placement. Bumber, but at least you get the idea.
