Any time I'm in Bowling Green I try to stop by Mellow Matt's because I always find something cool whether a great used record I've been looking for, a movie or a CD. Fair prices, quality items/stock, friendly and knowledgeable service, nice location.

I was happy with the selection of new and used inventory here. I didn't find anything for myself but did find a quite a few records. They even had a stash of RSD leftovers . The staff seemed really nice and when we were leaving a band was setting up in the parking lot so I know they offer live music.

We vacationed in Dale Hollow Tennessee and we had a day that it rained and we could not get out in…read moreour boat on the lake so we decided to go over to Cookeville to take a look at the shops and go out to dinner. We stopped in Jones Antiques and found this is a very nice store. We spent a few hours in there and in reading up on the place after the fact I found out that we missed the entire basement where they have caused World War I, World War II, and Civil War memorabilia. We will definitely have to go back and catch the basement part of the store. As we perused the shop it looked like they had a little bit of everything and in all kinds of price ranges from $5 record albums up into the unapproachable numbers for some of the items. Well at least for me LOL. I did find an item that I brought home, I recently remodeled my bathroom in a lake theme and found this beautiful mermaid that fit my decor perfectly. Take a look at the photos to get some idea of what they have. I love browsing this kind of store you never know what you are going to find! We will definitely be stopping here when we get back to Cookeville once again. These places sure conjure up the memories!

This racist establishment targeted my family for being people of color. We have been coming to…read moreCookeville for 30 years and never before experienced such malice. After spending a few minutes browsing the store (for example, looking through records, or examining a trumpet that supposedly works but is broken) the host very angrily and rudely told us to "Stop touching things we had no intention of buying." Interestingly enough, we were actually interested in buying the things we were touching. Unfortunately, it's hard to know what record to buy without looking at them. How do you know if a trumpet works? There was never any hospitality or politeness, no mention of "hey yall." Instead we got "yall are really getting on my nerves" This racist act shines very poorly on Downtown Cookeville.

Just poking around, amazed at the number of vinyl albums, posters, books & souvenir items from different bands. Prices are really good, too. They don't jack up the price on stuff.

If you're into collecting rock band stuff as well as just 50s,through 70s stuff, this is THE place! If you're passing through Bowling Green, Ky, and have a little time to kill, it's a short detour off the freeway. Well worth your time!
