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.
