This is a book about the up, down, up again and down again, ever fluctuating Memphis Blues scene. It covers the very beginning of it all, the heydays and the rebirths. And what's really great about it is "MEMPHIS BLUES" reads the way I like a book to read - it's all pictures. If you've ever stepped foot on Beale Street, be it for a souvenir from TATER REDS, a walk through SCHWAB'S General Store, a stroll in HANDY PARK or one of the many places for good BBQ, then you need to get this book.
