In this episode of The Scene, Gibson TV host Mark Agnesi takes us down to the strip in Nashville to a spot that’s launched a few careers, sold some Luccheses, and serves up a mean fried bologna sandwich, the incomparable Robert’s Western World.
As its name more than hints to, Robert’s Western World was at one time a western apparel retailer selling cowboy boots, hats, and shirts, but somewhere along the line, it morphed into Nashville’s top-rated honky-tonk, eight years running.
Mark sits down with the current owner, Jesse Lee Jones, aka Brazil Billy, a recording artist in his own right and a Brazilian ex-pat whose love of country music and Americana led him to Nashville and Robert’s.
As honky-tonks go, Robert’s Western World isn’t a bar with a theme; it’s a theme come to life. Jesse describes his first impression of the place simply as “It was so wrong, that is was right,” which could not only be the title of a legit country-western tune, it’s a spot-on description of this eclectic Nashville landmark. Novelty aside, Robert’s Western World has also served as a launching pad of sorts for artists like Don Kelly, Guthrie Trapp, Daniel Donato, and Brent Mason.
On any given day, seven days a week, you can come into Robert’s Western World, order yourself some fried pickle spears, a cold PBR, and catch a glimpse of Nashville’s future superstars.
