An unusual and revealing travel book that explores the musical roots of Memphis. “Andria Lisle has written a personal tribute to the warm, eternally fulminating Memphis Music scene. For such a short book it encompasses so much history, taking you literally from W.C. Handy to 2003. Lisle knows what she's talking about and her tour of her home town is inspiring and full of interesting arcana about the mystique of the River City's constantly changing and important contributions to the art of music. Al Green, Big Star, Stax, Sun, even Elvis--they're all here and in a fresh, invigorating format.” —Corey Mesler, Burke’s Books

A large part of the anthology's draw, as with Wax Poetics the magazine, is how gorgeous it looks: Many pieces come with lovingly reproduced album covers and 45 labels, arrayed neatly like so much record collector porn.” —The Onion AV Club
