HOLLYWOOD (Perfect Music Today) 5\/28\/20\/–Foreword by Peter Guralnick, author of Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley The definitive story of the birthplace of rock and roll
\nMemphis Mayhem weaves the tale of the racial collision that led to a cultural, sociological, and musical revolution. Lively and comprehensive, this is a provocative story of finding common ground through music and creating a sound that would change the world.
\nBeginning with the 1870s yellow fever epidemics that increased racial imbalance as wealthy whites fled the city, David Less moves from W.C. Handy\u2019s codification of blues in 1909 to the mid-century advent of interracial musical acts like Booker T. and the MG\u2019s, the birth of punk, and finally to the growth of a music tourism industry.<\/p>\n

Billy Gibbons: “There\u2019s truly no place like Memphis and this is the story of why that is. HAVE MERCY!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The definitive tale of the birthplace of rock and roll<\/b><\/pre>\n
