A review by bhswanson
It Came From Memphis by Robert Gordon

Did not finish book. Stopped at 51%.

This is a thoroughly researched deep dive into the music scene of Memphis in the 50s through early 70s, written with flair and passion. But…it’s a really deep dive - at least deeper than I was prepared to go for another 300 pages. I can definitely see why the book got enthusiastic reviews from aficionados of Memphis and its place in music history, but I would have needed to start with more interest in  - and perhaps more background knowledge of - the topic to get me all the way to the finish line.
