A sprawling study of Memphis beginning with a Civil War massacre, the Yellow Fever epidemic and the grisly murders of the Harp Brothers. Falco traces these legends to an equally brutal twentieth century underworld - Beale Street kingpin Jim Canaan, Edward Crump's political machine and the Dixie Mafia. Also included are revelatory dialogues concerning the city's many music legends, from rockabilly icons Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Charlie Feathers to more underground figures such as Jim Dickinson and country blues wailer Jessie Mae Hemphill.

Tav Falco (or Eugene Baffle? I'm so confused) is a seriously weird guy, but it kind of adds to the charm. Don't read this book expecting a coherent narrative about the history of Memphis but what is there might be even more rewarding despite (or because of) of its weirdness and eccentricities. ( )
