About this product
Product Information
Memphis Boys chronicles the story of the rhythm section at Chips Moman's American Studios from 1964, when the group began working together, until 1972, when Moman shut down the studio and moved the entire operation to Atlanta. Utilizing extensive interviews with Moman and the group, as well as additional comments from the songwriters, sound engineers, and office staff, author Roben Jones creates a collective biography combined with a business history and a critical analysis of important recordings. She reveals how the personalities of the core group meshed, how they regarded newcomers, and how their personal and musical philosophies blended with Moman's vision to create timeless music based on themes of suffering and sorrow.Recording sessions with Elvis Presley, the Gentrys, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, the Box Tops, Joe Tex, Neil Diamond, B. J. Thomas, Dionne Warwick, and many others come alive in this book. Jones provides the stories behind memorable songs composed by group writers, such as The Letter, Dark End of the Street, Do Right Woman, Breakfast in Bed, and You Were Always on My Mind. Featuring photographs, personal profiles, and a suggested listening section, Memphis Boys details a significant phase of American music and the impact of one studio.

- -***- (128)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived damaged. Item was described as new but was clearly packaged in used condition. Packaging, which consisted of a fragile plastic bag and nothing else, was pathetic and completely useless for the job. Communication with seller was poor. I tried contacting seller to describe problem and was met with an entirely inappropriate automated response. I consider this seller to be a con artist. If you like your books to be in good condition: AVOID THIS SELLER AT ALL COSTS. You have been warned.
