The Best In Memphis has gone and released a book of mostly unpublished profiles of some of the characters that have defined the Memphis music scene.  From Furry Lewis to Jerry Lee Lewis, it's a peak into the chaos of life in a small southern town during the birth of rock 'n' soul and beyond.  It's a must for any self-respecting fan of Ichiban.

Check out some of the music mentioned in the book on Fat Possum Records!


And be sure to check out everything from Robert.  It Came From Memphis is a great place to start.  Don't miss the 3 CD set!
