A few years ago they took over the old church in East Nashville where they house their collection of wonders. As you enter the front door to the right, you'll find the box sets, limited editions and record day specials, both in vinyl and cds. The middle is predominantly vinyl and the left are the cds, both new and used. At the far end of the building where the altar would have been is now a stage where they sometimes showcase mini concerts, cd release parties, and book signings. Downstairs you'll find a good selection of books concerning music, be it country, rock, blues, folk or jazz. There's biographies history and style, again both new or used. Against the side wall there's a huge variety of jazz and classical. They give you a very fair trade-in value on used books, cds, and vinyls. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. If you've never been there, you owe it to yourself to go and spend a couple hours!

The staff and owners radiate friendliness, acceptance, and hospitality to all whom walk through the door. The shop is located on a side street in East Nashville, in what looks to be an old house. Therefore, parking is limited at times. I have come here 2-3 before, and they have a great selection of wide-stream music and local artists as well. The inside is filled with records and CD's filling shelves, bins, walls, and even the mantle of a fireplace. They also have a small stage and area to host events and live music inside. This year, We came here for Record Store Day 2024, and it was such a great event. We decided to come by around lunch time. They had vendors, food trucks, and live music set up around the shop. They were limiting the amount of people in the room with the RSD Titles; therefore, we waited in line for an hour to get into the store. That being said, this allowed for everyone to look through the bins leisurely. The staff and even the other customers were all so friendly! It was such a great experience, and we made so many memories this RSD! Support your local record store, and visit The Groove.

It brought back memories as we rediscovered music from our past. Then we moved outside just to enjoy the evening and sat at the outside tables. If you're hungry, there is a food truck serving burgers in the lot as well. We didn't try that but other patrons told us that the burgers were very good. It's a great place to spend some time. I'd recommend it!

The shopping area was run down, but if you get hungry, there is a Burger chain and a Chinese buffet close by. Once inside they have their stations. There's the music (CDs, vinyl, etc), then video media (VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray), video games ( all major brands Nintendo, PS, and Xbox), and lastly comics. I perused the aisles to see what bargains. There were a few. The prices were decent. Why did I rate this so high? It's because of the variety and the selection. Clearly there are still other stuff than what I've mentioned. You'll just have to make a trip.

He wasn't friendly and didn't seem to care if anyone bought anything or if we had questions. Prices for some albums were ridiculously laughable (White Snake $90). I found many albums in the wrong classifications. I do realize people are lazy and like to just put merchandise wherever the decide to when they change their mind. That doesn't constitute as much as I saw out of place. Meanwhile, the checked out cashier didn't look up once from whatever social media site he was scrolling through. This place looked more like a goodwill than a record shop. Just didn't smell of old shoes. Happy I didn't buy anything. Wouldn't want the cashier to actually do any substantive work.

Based on their location, I expected them to be overpriced but their used and new items are all fairly priced for the current vinyl market. We bought a handful of LPs, a couple of 45s, and a few cassettes for well under $100. I spotted a few title I haven't seen in the wild before which is always cool. They played good music in the store while we were there, the service was friendly, and it feels like an old-school mall record shop which is nice.

She found McKay's online and it seemed to be the best place to do that. Wow -- we were not prepared for the massiveness of this super, super busy place! Being our first time and not knowing how it all worked, it didn't take us long to figure out where to go and what to do. There wasn't much of a line when we started. We placed her books in a bin, then waited to be called by a greeter. Our greeter quickly explained the process, gave the daughter a claim ticket, then we waited. In the 40 minutes it took for her claim number to come up on the screen, we were able to walk through most of the sections and pick out a couple things to buy. I was quite surprised to find so many things beyond books -- DVDs, VHS, vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, clothing, Pokémon cards, instruments, game consoles, accessories, Legos, toys, comic books, etc. It was seriously amazing. My daughter decided to take her sale in trade which gave her about 50% more to spend. For the books they didn't buy she was given the option to take them back or donate them there. She chose to donate. The husband loves old movies, art and music -- he will absolutely enjoy McKay's. I can't wait to bring him here! The parking lot is as massive, so I don't think there's ever an issue with that.
