Heard on the Radio: Elvis & Soul Celebrated in Memphis
It's that time of year again - August in Memphis. That means that thousands converge to mark the passing of Elvis Presley -this year the 30th anniversary since the demise of The King on August 16, 1977.
But there's more to Memphis than just Elvis. For example, how about the 50th anniversary of Soul (and the resurfacing of Stax Records) ?
We spoke with Bob Mehr (Music Critic of the Memphis Commercial Appeal) and with Tim Sampson from the Music of American Soul Music (Stax) about August in Memphis on a "Hidden America" segment on XM's Left Jab.
There was also a "Beer America" segment featuring Marty Valles from the Smoky Mountain Brwerry of Pigeon Forge & Gaitlinburg, Tennsessee.
You can hear the interview as part of Left Jab on XM's Channel 167 (Saturday 11 am (edt) and Sunday at 1 pm (edt). Later in the week the interview will be available as a podcast at the Left Jab Radio website.
