Ernest Tubb Record Shop — Local services in Nashville-Davidson

We decided to go inside the record shop and we were so glad we did. There is so much history and information inside including an incredible record/CD collection and memorabilia!

In the opening days this record shop only sold through mail orders. They apparently still get a lot of orders from music lovers of that generation!

We enquired about the stage at the back of the store and Jude was a wealth of information! We were so glad he was available to chat with us!

This is where the Midnight Jamboree was broadcast from every Saturday night after the Grand Ole Opry. This was a way for up and covers to perform their acts during the “dead radio hour” and gain exposure.

The Midnight Jamboree is still on to this day and is the “second largest radio show in history”.

The Midnight Jamboree just recently relocated back to this location after 26 years at the Texas Troubadour Theater!!

We stood on the stage where so many musicians have stood before us - fortunately for the staff we did not try to sing as it may be the first time anyone would have been boo’d off the stage! Imagine standing where the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, Patsy Kline and many many many many more!

Well worth the stop and make sure to talk to the staff! Enquirer...

I liked everything there, it's so cool to see all the pictures of singers and stars. I would give it 5 stars but the customer service is really terrible. I was about to pay for what I have purchased and I asked the lady about the price again just to double check but she yanked my hand from the card reader trying to stop the transaction because she thought I didn't want the items I was purchasing. I looked at her and didn't want to make it a big deal at that time just because she was an old lady, if she was just younger or like my age I would definitely handle it in a different way. So terrible to have someone like that to work there in such a place. Although I recommend people to visit the place but just a warning of the poor customer service and impolite old lady that...

This store was listed as permanently closed, but it IS OPEN at least as of December 2017.

Awesome store!!! Some vinyl, but mostly CDs. BUT, huge history here. Original location, all wood floor and metal ceiling, and decorated with amazing pictures and posters. Some portraits, some postcards, most signed by the artists! Highly recommend to go and see it.

Got some help from a lady who has worked there for 18 years, very knowledgeable, super helpful.

The only reason I'm giving them only 4 stars is that more vinyl would be good to see.

Amazing history, highly...
