Country Soul

Memphis has a rich musical history tied to Blues, Rock and Roll and Soul music. In his book, Memphis Soul: Making Music and Making Race in the American South, author Charles Hughes talked about Memphis' role in the music industry during the 1960s and 1970s. He discussed how the music intersected with the political issues of the time.
