About this product

Product Information

Like no other music history, It Came From Memphis dishes its tuneful tale with a full context of social issues. From institutional racism to cowboy movies, from manic disc jockeys to Quaalude motorcycle gangs, this story is as unvarnished a history of rock and roll as ever has been written. The Memphis aesthetic is to invert expectations: artists seek imperfection, embracing mistakes and doing it all wrong by forging their own paths to get it exactly right. A storyteller's storyteller, Robert Gordon puts you in the shotgun seat, riding with the old coots and the young rebels as they pass a bottle and a blunt. Memphis changed the world, this book can change you.

Reviews
Superb --The New York Times An affectionate rumination --The New YorkerIf you haven't read this book, do it now. - Rolling Stone "This collection is a distinctly American story with social and cultural ramifications we can only begin to calibrate, so deeply ingrained as they are in the national character."--The Washington Post Book World "A remarkable literary feat."--Los Angeles Reader" Gordon creates a vivid portrait of the place and the music--what he calls its simplicity, its eccentricity, its soul--through a freewheeling, anecdotal narrative that mixes the fervor of a fan, the flair of a storyteller and the clear-eyed perspective of a critic."--The Philadelphia Inquirer"A collection of colorful stories about a number of artists and local crazies."--Billboard"A sterling job. . . . A worthwhile document." --The Irish Times
