About Memphis

Memphis is a Mississippi River city in Tennessee, home of the blues and Elvis, with Beale Street, Sun Studio, Graceland and slow-smoked barbecue.

Memphis stands on a bluff above the Mississippi River in south-west Tennessee, and its streets are a birthplace of the blues, soul and rock and roll. Beale Street, lined with neon-lit blues clubs, is the best known of its music strips. Sun Studio, a small recording room, is where Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis made early records, and Graceland, the mansion where Elvis lived, is south of the centre.
