The real music city, Memphis. No other city has contributed so much to so many different types of music. Blues, Country, Rock 'n'Roll, Soul. Howlin' Wolf, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Stax/Volt. I would say that all of the bases have been covered. Nice list, Adam. Willie Nix, drummer/songwriter/singer, not too many people know that name. Did a couple of nice cuts for Sun and later Chess with my main harp man, Walter Horton.
