Possibly over-hyped
3*
I think the fame and fortune that Music Row is associated with has majorly over-hyped the actual physical area itself. I believe many people, ourselves admittedly included, expect huge buildings, glamour and glitz, and country music playing loudly, but in reality its just any other street with a few famous buildings (that aren't architecturally impressive) and a couple of signs with information on. Also, as we found with the Hollywood Walk of Fame (see my other reviews) it was almost deserted when we visited, for a world renowned location I expected it to be far busier! (It was a cold day in fairness). Despite the issues I have taken with this attraction, I would still recommend visiting as it is the birthplace of many country music stars and likely the reason country music is as big as it is nowadays; my advice would simply be to lower your expectations so that your aren't underwhelmed as I suspect many reviewers on Trip Advisor find themselves to be. Additionally, perhaps it is worth taking a tour as there isn't much signage and I only knew what I was looking at thanks to an internet site I found that described what all the individual sites on the street were famous for; it may be a more interesting and worthwhile way to explore the area?
