It Came From Memphis

About It Came From Memphis

A companion volume to Robert Gordon's book of the same name, It Came From Memphis documents the sounds of the Memphis Underground. Beyond Stax, beyond Elvis, a whole generation of Memphis musicians took their cue from such disparate influences as the blues of Furry Lewis, the folk traditions of the Delta, the dementia of mush-mouthed D.J. and television personality Dewey Phillips, combined with such intangible forces as LSD and professional wrestling! These 19 tracks span an entire spectrum of sounds and influences. Featured are legendary producer/musician Jim Dickinson (Big Star, Replacements, piano on the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses"), Lee Baker, Packy Axton (Mar-Keys), photographer William Eggleston and a host of others. Produced by Robert Gordon.
