The Last Honky Tonk

In November 2013, Nashville gathered to give George Jones the send-off of a lifetime — and when the arena emptied, the after-party rolled down to Second Avenue, to a bar called the Pit and Barrel, freshly made over for a reality show set to air the very next day. Among the last men standing were outlaw singer Wayne Mills — an Alabama football player who'd walked away from the game to chase his musical dreams down the highway — and his friend, the bar's owner, Chris Ferrell. The next morning, one of them would be hours away from death. The how, when and where of the case were obvious.  It was the "why" that absolutely stunned the investigators.

Nashvillains uncovers the darkest true crimes in Music City's history — Real crimes. Real villains. One unforgettable city.
