Memphis Blues - Phil Napoleon & His Memphis Five

Memphis: Birth Place of Elvis & Home of the Blues

Advantages: Elvis!!!! Really Cheap Also
Disadvantages: Hot, dusty and alot of flies

with local Rock n Roll memorabilia and lots of costumes from Elvis's films, including his Jailhouse Rock shirt, which we did not know was even in existence! It also had some photographs we had not seen and several of his guitars. The further had suits of Johnny Cash, the blues brothers hats and many artists who grew up in Memphis. The food here was also very good, service was excellent and the waitresses kept refilling our soft drink glasses without even asking. The food range was also impressive, including more than the local cuisine, including items such as fajitas and nachos. The food and drink was also inexpensive compared to the Hard Rock Café in London. We paid about $75.00 for four people, having starters and a main and a range of drinks. This was less than £50.00!! I highly, highly recommend a lunch here. They also have a shop and a bar ...

Review of Memphis

Graceland, the best part of Memphis.

Advantages: For an Elvis fan, it is the ultimate experience.
Disadvantages: It is not in the city.

.50)more. Works out much cheaper than buying tickets individually. Memphis is a really large city and there are many wonderful hotels, shops, departmental stores, restaurants, and anything your heart desires. We did all the tourist things. The Peabody Hotel, Sun Records, the museum where Elvis has his first recording equipment. We did Beale Street in the evening. Went into B.B. King's place. We even saw the motel where Martin Luther King Junior was shot. Yes, there is so much to do in Memphis, but I wanted to write my tribute to the King of Rock'n'Roll. I urge anyone that is an Elvis fan to take a trip of a lifetime. You won't be disappointed. Susie, who plays Elvis music on her organ, and listens to him in the car. Thanks for sharing my wonderful experience with me. Need anymore information, then leave a comment ...

Review of Memphis

Marti's Memphis Revisited

Advantages: brilliant sound to it, I Don;t Know Why
Disadvantages: some mediocre songs esprciall "It's All About"

I am not afraid to admit I like Marti Pellow. I think he has a fabulous soulful voice. However I get frustrated with some of the material he has recorded both in his solo career and with the Wets. He has done a lot of MOR, sickly sweet ballads. However when Marti is on full form such as on "Hard To Cry", the highlight of his debut album and more recently "Walking On Water" from the Wet's newest Greatest Hits CD, or even his version of "Heaven Help us All" from his original Memphis Sessions way back in 1986 he is hard to beat. His voice is powerful, soulful and just sends shivers down my spine. When I heard he was releasing the album he has always dreamed of recording backed with a stunning live performance on Jonathan Ross's Saturday morning radio show I decided to buy the album "Moonlight Over Memphis". Marti describes "Moonlight Over ...
