In a previous life, the building that houses WILD BILL’S was a Service Merchandise store. Where patrons used to browse the jewelry department, you can now grab a cold beer and check out the badonkadonks that shake to the modern country sounds on the 5,000-square-foot dance floor. Often featuring the best in today’s country chart busters, the massive stage at Wild Bill’s is as big as a civic-center-type venue, and the place claims to be the biggest country-music dance club in the United States. We find it hard to doubt that statement because it’s pretty easy to get lost in the throes of line-dancing regulars, OTP gawkers and a few thrill-seeking hipsters.

In Roswell, there’s a nondescript but delicious barbecue restaurant that’s a bit too easy to miss. Every weekend, THE SWALLOW AT THE HOLLOW treats fans to intimate performances by musicians whose names and faces may not be too familiar but have impressive songwriting credentials. Modeled after Nashville’s famed Bluebird Cafe, the Swallow has become the premiere local listening spot for country music’s most prolific and successful songcrafters. Getting up close and personal in the room makes the experience even more exciting, and while the booking focus tends to be more on artists whose songs represent mainstream, radio-friendly country music, hearing the hits without all the obtuse production is a treat.

Sure, there a few big-ass cowboy discos out in the ‘burbs, but to hear the best of what country music has to offer (the songs, duh), one only needs to head to THE SWALLOW AT THE HOLLOW, which doubles as a barbecue restaurant. Patterned after the world-famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, the Swallow usually features three singer/songwriters performing in the round. The artists talk about where their songs came from, the process of writing them, and how they got picked up (or didn’t). The format might be a bit too deconstructed for some folks, but it is an entertaining education, or as we prefer, edutainment.

Yes, it used to be a Service Merchandise store, but the totally refitted WILD BILL’S in Duluth is your one-stop shop for all of your OTP country needs. Concerts, dancing, liquor and poker, too! There’s even a dad-blamed mechanical bull to challenge your urban cowboy if you’ve got the “cojones”. When the house band, Bill Gentry and the 35-cent Rodeo, isn’t playing, look for performances by national touring acts such as Chris LeDoux, Tracy Byrd, Trace Adkins and Trick Pony. “2075 Market St., Duluth. 678-473-1000. www.wildbillsatlanta.com”

The SWALLOW AT THE HOLLOW is actually a barbecue restaurant, but the live entertainment - modeled after Nashville’s famed Bluebird Cafe - features three-person songwriter circles. It’s a listening room, where songwriters share their work in an intimate setting, and the music is the primary focus. Some of the best country-music writers in the business have performed there, including Kim Carnes, Jellyroll Johnson, Jessica Andrews, Jamie O’Neal. Magic often ensues. “1072 Green St., Roswell, 678-352-1975. www.theswallowatthehollow.com”
