In 1989, Nashville's iconic Music Row was rocked by an unexpected and seemingly unmotivated murder. Most people recall the George Strait and Alan Jackson song that made the phrase "Murder on Music Row" a commonality. However, the story of the murder of Kevin Hughes and wounding of Sammy Sadler often takes a backseat to the famous song when speaking of the notable phrase. In this episode, I break down one of country music's darkest days and the secret schemes that led to the Murder on Music Row.Follow me @brentsnydermusic everywhere and the show @rootoftheboot on Instagram.Full webisodes of this podcast are available at YouTube.com/brentsnydermusicVisit goldandivy.com and use code BOOT 15 for 15% of your entire purchase.Visit neoncowboys.com and use code BRENTSNYDER for 10% off your order.Use this link, https://amzn.to/3phfF1b for a HUGE discount on the book, Country Music: An Illustrated History.For links to the source material for this episode, visit YouTube.com/brentsnydermusic or rootoftheboot.com
