Kurzbeschreibung
The story of how a handful of musicians, of mixed races, revolutionised soul music in the sixties, and how their influence can still be felt today.
Synopsis
What makes Memphis music so lasting? Why have the blues become such an iconic form of expression? What makes a bluesman? How did country and blues music merge to form rockabilly and rock 'n' roll and was Elvis the first true exponent? How did a handful of open-minded blacks and whites revolutionize soul music in the Sixties. How will these traditional musical forms - blues, rockabilly, and rock 'n' roll - remain current in the 21st century? Waking Up In Memphis answers these questions and provides a picture of the current scene, one accessible to anyone interested in Memphis music.

IF you Wanna Know Memphis
31. August 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
If you have ever wanted to read a book that tells you all the cool spots in and around the Memphis area pick this one up. These are the places that are not on that cute tourist pack you get at the welcome center. These places are real and the authors writing about them understand their importance. I read the book in one sitting and I have only done that with about 3 books in my life. This puppy is jammed packed with wonderful recollections and people who are very active in southern and blues culture. As this book shows those who thought blues was dead are sadly mistaken. Great read!

For Music Lovers
20. April 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Andria Lisle has written a personal tribute to the warm, eternally fulminating Memphis Music scene. For such a short book it encompasses so much history, taking you literally from W. C. Handy to 2003. Lisle knows what she's talking about and her tour of her home town is inspiring and full of interesting arcana about the mystique of the River City's constantly changing and important contributions to the art of music. Al Green, Big Star, Stax, Sun, even Elvis--they're all here and in a fresh, invigorating format.

Memphis music guide
14. August 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
A very enjoyable book, takes the reader on a musical joyride around Memphis, the Delta and mid-South in general. Full of brief interview tidbits with musical luminaries, many of whom live in relative obscurity in the area.
The book has a few minor errors I noticed, including labeling part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH incorrectly as the Pyramid Arena in downtown Memphis in the photo section. Other than very minor annoyances like that, I highly recommend this book to any fans of rock, r & b, blues or roots music in general. An engaging read about the music and performers and the city that literally changed the world.
