 Jordan Chassan, East of Bristol, West of Knoxville   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Bristol and Knoxville, both burgs in Tennessee, are two of the lynchpins of American country music, of course.
Bristol is where Ralph Peer made the first recordings of Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family, and Knoxville plays a key role in one of the best-known murder ballads, "The Knoxville Girl" (it's also the setting of Del McCoury's bluegrass version of Richard Thompson's highwayman ballad "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," for what it's worth).
But if you go east from Bristol, you're pretty much out of Tennessee; if you go west, I suppose you'll come to Nashville (where Chassan currently lives) and Memphis, so I guess Chassan is hinting at the direction his music is taking.
