A review by esuggs
It Came From Memphis by Robert Gordon

5.0

The much needed antidote to Greil Marcus, this is a book that lingers and shows every weird hole and dive to demonstrate the true grandeur of it's subject, rather than forcing the idea that Randy Newman was secretly who Chuck Berry was singing about in Johnny B Goode. This book is compelling and strange in the best way, compiling every incident together so one really believes there was something in the air in those days
