It was important to Atkins that his songs evoked emotion and created strong ties with the listener’s feelings. The sound he created was lush and warm, the image was polished and glamorous.

These mics gave a warm tone to the voice, which contributed to the artist’s sound but are no longer used today. The technology at the time was limited and artists used tube microphones to record vocals. This tight knit group of musicians created consistency in the Nashville Sound, so the sub-genre is easily recognized for it’s instrumentation. Under the guidance of Atkins and Bradley, a small group of studio musicians learned the new style and sound and played on almost every country album recorded in Nashville.

Producers brought in heavy string sections and backing vocals to make songs more sophisticated. Many Americans didn’t want to hear about these things, and could escape them with the Nashville Sound. Honky-tonk lyrics were rife with typical working class problems like alcoholism, failed marriages, and adultery. Atkins is credited with creating the sub-genre, and he worked to appeal to the middle class by getting rid of country music’s blue collar roots, or the honky-tonk.
