Rock, blues, soul provide the pulse for this music city (San Diego Union-Tribune)
Memphis is where you go to celebrate everything Elvis. Sun Studio is where Presley got his start as the king of rock 'n' roll, and Graceland is a few miles south of downtown. But other styles of music — the blues and soul — also have deep roots in this city on the Mississippi River, with legendary Beale Street and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music among the must-sees for any visitor.
