Review
'This book is about my Nashville, the town I've called home for 26 years and have come to love in spite of itself' STEVE EARLE 'Nashville represents the American dream of stardom, of crawling from the gutter, of pure self-expression and the uplifting power of music. It is to this place that Lauren St John journeys, intent on discovering the true soul of a city masked by rhinestones and cheap tourist haunts... Walkin' After Midnight is for all true keepers of the country flame and lovers of real music, whatever the genre' The Times

About the Author
Lauren St John was born in Zimbabwe in 1966 and fell in love with music and sport shortly afterwards. For the best part of a decade, she combined writing sports books and working as golf correspondent to The Sunday Times with increasingly regular trips to Nashville, before music more or less took over her life. She lives in London.

A meandering narrative of the authors trip to Nashville to search for the heart and soul of Nashville.

The other best parts feature Emmylou Harris, a singer with true integrity.An interesting read.
