    A Memphis Music Road Map: The Modern Era

    This year is Memphis' bicentennial, but while there's been Memphis music as long as there's been a Memphis, you can't listen back 200 years. As a result, our three-part Memphis Music Road Map is a de facto centennial of sound. This final installment follows a trail from the lost decade of the '80s, to rap and indie rock of the '90s, the new bands and breakthroughs of the 2000s, and finally, Memphis music now.

    A Memphis Music Road Map: The Golden Age

    This year is Memphis' bicentennial, but while there's been Memphis music as long as there's been a Memphis, you can't listen back 200 years. As a result, our three-part Memphis Music Road Map is a de facto centennial of sound. This second part follows a trail from B.B. King's first recordings to the rise of rock 'n' roll and soul, on to Al Green's rejection of secular soul, the emergence of alternative Memphis and Beale Street's decline.

    A Memphis Music Road Map: The Early Years

    This year is Memphis' bicentennial, but while there's been Memphis music as long as there's been a Memphis, you can't listen back 200 years. As a result, our three-part Memphis Music Road Map is a de facto centennial (and a little more) of sound. We tell a story of Memphis music's evolution one song at a time, from early blues and the Beale Street sound to the golden age of Sun and Stax and on to the contemporary styles of rock and rap. This first part follows the trail from W.C. Handy to the dawn of World War II.
