Brit in Nasville

Hi All,

I'm travelling to the deep south for my 30th Birthday early next year with my girlfriend. We're starting in New Orleans and travelling to Nasville via Alabama.

I'm looking for some authentic places to visit while we're here. Thinking line dancing, country music, dive bars, honky tonks, etc.

I'm really into American country lore and the cow boy life style and what not.

I'd love to find some authentic places that aren't inherently a tourist trap.

Thanks!
