It Came From Memphis

Memphis is one of a handful of US cities that can claim its own sui generis music. Gordon tells an unfamiliar story of a group of acquaintances who blur the lines, rearrange the pieces, and create entirely new sounds and visuals across the second half of the 20th c.: rockabullies, hippies, folkies, bluesmen, noise freaks, jazzbos, photographers, painters, puppeteers and punks, drinking from the same bottle and breathing the same funky air. We are all the better for what they did. A great book.

A terrific tale of great unknown legends of Rock and Roll, Memphis on the brink of enlightenment and a forgotten hero of integration..
