Grimey's is one of those music shops that you love to browse. Lots of variety, and the staff is super knowledgeable about all of the music. They have mainstream stuff, too, as well as vinyl, and some really old school music that will make you wonder how they still carry this stuff. The in-house performances are amazing, and they've had bands like Hammock (who doesn't do live shows) play there, as well as listening parties for bands that are kick-ass, but would never play there. During these shows, you generally get treated to beer (ID required), which is great. If you haven't been to Grimey's yet (or the Basement for that matter), you should definitely check it out.
Pros: Great selection, lots of places to listen to music, good prices.
Cons: Hard to find a place to park

My day in Nashville of shopping for records included a stop at Grimey's. It was my third or fourth trip to this store, and this visit (June 15) was cut way short because they were having an artist appearance in the store when I arrived. They have a small corner in this store devoted to their main used vinyl section, and it was completely blocked off by tables and totally inaccessible. I have nothing against in store appearances by artists, it's just that this place is too small to sell music and have artist appearances inside the store at the same time. I left disappointed but not discouraged, as I had two other stores I wanted to visit this day anyway. My previous trips here resulted in buying two or three records each time. This store might have a cooler atmosphere to some people than other Nashville record stores, and drinking beer in the store is allowed, but in my opinion their selection of used albums is average and I probably would like this place better if I was younger, buzzed, and just looking for somewhere to hang out.

Gimey's is a lot like the record store in High Fidielty. As soon as you enter they want to know what kind of music you like and how to turn you on to new artist. This is the best mom and pop store in Nashville. Great deals to be found in compact disc and albums. Both are new and used. Twice a year there is a outdoor blow out where one can find bargins. I mean bargins. This is a record store that can order almost anything and get it in a few days. BEST RECORD STORE in Nashville. 2005
Pros: Service, music selection, outdoor blow out
Cons: parking
